About SBC Core
The SBC Core platforms address the next-generation needs of SIP communications by delivering media transcoding, robust security and advanced call routing in a high-performance, 2RU, and 5RU form-factor devices enabling service providers and enterprises to quickly and securely enhance their network by implementing services like SIP trunking, secure Unified Communications and Voice over IP (VoIP).
For more product information, refer to the section About SBC Core in the main documentation space.
Interoperability
The SBC Core software interoperates with the following:
- SIP/H.323 compliant IADs and IP-PBXs
- PSX Policy Server Softswitch via SIP redirects and/or Diameter+ protocol
- SBC 9000 through SIP call signaling and Networks MCS protocol
- NetScore collection, analysis, monitoring, and reporting of selected Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on a near-real time basis
When using H.323-SIP and SIP-H.323 call flows, an additional Re-invite/Update may get generated towards the SIP side. To suppress this, enable the IP Signaling Profile (IPSP) flag Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg
at the SIP side.

Warning
A LSWU on an SBC 7000 should only be performed when the total number of active calls on the system is below 18,000. If the criteria is not met, a double failure during the upgrade may occur, thereby losing all active calls. If such a failure occurs, both active and standby SBC services will go down. Contact Ribbon Support immediately.
Warning
Prior to performing an upgrade to release 07.02.1R001, usernames that do not conform to the new SBC user-naming rules must be removed to prevent upgrade failure. Upgrade can proceed successfully after removing all invalid usernames. The following user-naming rules apply:
The following names are not allowed:
tty disk kmem dialout fax voice cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip src utmp video sasl plugdev staff users nogroup i2c dba operator
Note: Any CLI usernames consisting of digits only or not conforming to new user naming rules will be removed after performing a restore config in release 7.2.1R001.
Warning
Prior to performing an upgrade to the 7.2 release, the dnsGroups with type mgmt must be specified/updated with the "interface" field. The steps are included in WBA "W-17-00022847". To view the WBA, log on to the Support Portal and click the Bulletins link from the menu bar. Enter the bulletin number (last eight numbers) in the search field and press Return.
If the above MOP is not run, the LSWU process may fail because of duplicate trunk group or zone names.
Warning
Prior to performing an upgrade to 7.2 release, the duplicate trunk groups or zones must be removed. The steps are included in WBA "W-17-00022689". To view the WBA, log on to the Support Portal and click the Bulletins link from the menu bar. Enter the bulletin number (last eight numbers) in the search field and press Return.
Support of maddr Post-Upgrade
When upgrading SBC Core to release 5.0.0 (and above) from a pre-4.2.4 release, complete the "Action to take" immediately after the upgrade if either condition that follows is applicable:
- If you are using the SBC with a Broadsoft system and the SBC is configured for registration access (where the SBC sits between SIP phones and the Broadworks System). Otherwise no new REGISTER will be processed (phones will lose registration).
- If you are using the SBC with other feature servers that require maddr processing.
Action to take: On the SIP trunk group facing Broadsoft (or other feature server), set the SIP Trunk Group signaling flag, honorMaddrParam
, to enabled
on the Trunk Group(s) requiring maddr handling. The default is ‘disabled
’.
set addressContext <addressContext name> zone <zone name> sipTrunkGroup <TG name> signaling honorMaddrParam <disabled | enabled>
See the following pages for configuration details:
SBC SWe Pre-Upgrade Requirements
VM CPU resource allocation requirements
Starting with 4.2.4R0 release, CPU resource allocation requirements for SBC SWe VM are strictly enforced contrary to previous releases. You must review and verify these VM settings (including co-hosted VMs) against the documented "VM Configuration Recommendations" on the For VMware page in the Hardware and Software Requirements section before upgrading. If you encounter a problem, correct the CPU reservation settings as specified in step 6 of the "Adjust Resource Allocations" procedure on Creating a New SBC SWe VM Instance with VMXNET3. CPU reservation should be set as “number of vCPUs assigned to VM * physical processor CPU frequency". If VM uses the same number of vCPUs as the number of physical processors on the server, this reservation may not be possible. In this case, reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VM by one and set the CPU reservation to the appropriate value.
When using the show table system serverSoftwareUpgradeStatus
command during the upgrade, the Standby server's LSWU status will always display "Upgrading" even though the upgrade may have failed due to host checker validation. To check if host validation failed for the Standby, check for HostCheck Validation Failed message in the upgrade.out
log.
Disable Call Trace feature prior to LSWU/upgrade
As a prerequisite for SWe LSWU/upgrade, disable the Call Trace feature prior to performing the LSWU/upgrade and re-enable it once the LSWU/upgrade is completed.
Manually check for Hostcheck Validation Failed message
- Log on to ESXi of the Standby SBC SWe.
- Check in
/opt/sonus/staging/upgrade.out
(this log shows the Hostcheck Validation Failed error).
- Power off the VM.
- Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VM by one and set the CPU reservation to the appropriate value.
- Power on the VM. The SBC SWe successfully upgrades to the latest version 6.2.0.
- Run the command
show table system serverSoftwareUpgradeStatus
to confirm the successful upgrade.
- Perform similar procedure for LSWU on Active.
Warning
Prior to performing a Live Software Upgrade (LSWU), verify if the system and the databases are in sync. The steps are included in WBA "Warning-14-00020748". To view the WBA, log on to the Support Portal and click the Bulletins link from the menu bar. Enter the bulletin number (last eight numbers) in the search field and press Return.

Resolved Issues
Resolved Issues in 07.02.01R001 Release
The following issues are resolved in this release:
Issue ID | Severity | Problem Description | Resolution |
---|
SBX-86783 / SBX-73424 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73424 (Originated in Release 6.2.4R0): The CDR field 8 in START and STOP records always shows zero even if there is a delay in the PSX response. Platform/Feature: SBC: CDR | The code was modified to correctly calculate the delta of the setup message time and PSX response time. |
SBX-86608 | 2 | The problem occurred in the case of load scenarios where the generated key/salt values that depends on retrieval of Random Numbers returned zero value at first byte. The SBC SipRec fails to establish session and sends BYE. Platform/Feature: SBC | Wrt key-salt generation validation was added. |
SBX-86790 / SBX-86589 | 2 | PortFix SBX-86589 (Originated in Release 7.2.2R0): Sip sig port is not responding to ARP if the ARP request comes on an interface which the sip sig port is not bound to. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Platform IP/Media Services | The signaling port address will be properly relocated to an ipInterface with the matching subnet if the address is currently bound to an ipInterface in a different subnet. |
SBX-85675 | 1 | Random Java code writing from Rest interface as the json dependency was not loaded.
Platform/Feature: SBC | Json dependency was added in the xml file. |
SBX-86735 / SBX-86694 | 2 | PortFix SBX-86694 (Originated in Release 8.0.0R0): Transfer cases failing as E2E PRACK needs to be disabled on transfer Leg, as provisional responses will not be relayed to other leg. Platform/Feature: SBC | E2E PRACK functionality should not kick in after call is transferred as provisional response do not need to be relayed to other leg. Code changes are made to be inline with this. |
SBX-85676 | 1 | Reading any file from un-privilege Rest User from REST GET Request is not validated as the curl command was not sanitized. Platform/Feature: SBC | Sanitization was added. |
SBX-85742 | 2 | Support for In dialogue REFER request when Response is present. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified in the SIP stack. If the Message type is REFER and PSX Response profile is configured before a response is sent to network, add the Custom Reason Text from the PSX Response Profile and not the default one. If in the IPSP "Include Reason Header" is enabled, the SBC will Add Q.850 Reason header with the cause code, Reason text of Q.850 Reason Header configured into Response Profile. |
SBX-86493 | 3 | When the SBC does not find the route information for incoming call, it rejects it with Error response. In the error response message, Max-Forwards header was being added. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to avoid Max-Forwards header addition in Error response message. |
SBX-85824 | 1 | Issue 1: A 488 was sent because of Nrma Modify Failure when UPDATE followed by 18x without SDP was received. This is caused by Prack pending. Issue 2: A 491 is issued when UPDATE is received immediately after 18x without SDP. This is again caused by Prack pending. Platform/Feature: SBC | Issue 1: Added a flag check and OfferAnswer check to avoid this issue. Issue 2: Added a flag check to avoid this issue.
|
SBX-86796 | 2 | REFER Relay is not working in S-SBC. The SBC allows REFER to be Relayed to the egress side in a D-SBC environment. It would reject REFER that should be acted upon if REFER Relay is not enabled. Platform/Feature: SBC | Added to Relay In-Dialog Refer in S-SBC if the flag REFER Relay is enabled. If the Flag is disabled, the SBC rejects In-Dialog REFER. |
SBX-86748 | 1 | The SBC does not handle IP fragment timeout properly. When IP fragment timeout occurs, the fragment context is deleted and the per-nif in use count is decremented. There is a problem in the code where it decrements the incorrect nif. The SBC's ability to handle de-fragmented packets will deteriorate. The NO DEFRAG MATCH count in "show table system networkProcessorStatistics defragStatistics" increments rapidly. If PSX responses are large and the IP packets are fragmented, you may see the SBC retry multiple times due to reassembly failures resulting in packet drops. Platform/Feature: SBC | The fragment timeout logic that was decrementing the wrong interface's current in-use count was modified. This problem only impacts hardware SBC. |
SBX-86523 | 1 | When pcrf is enabled, SCM may core on switchover. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was fixed to prevent the pcrf related SCM core on switchover. |
SBX-87110 / SBX-68858 | 2 | PortFix SBX-68858: The SBC CDR 'GMT' timestamps jumped forward and backward. Platform/Feature: SBC: CDR | The code was modified to calculate the correct timestamps when daylight savings time begins and ends. |
SBX-86480 / SBX-86992 | 2 | PortFix SBX-86992 (Originated in Release 6.2.4R0): SCM may core due to memory corruption caused by processing of Global PCDR Info received from Policy Server. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to free previously allocated Global PCDR Info structure before allocating a new one. |
SBX-86348 | 2 | While triggering a recording call towards SRS for a SIPREC Redundancy scenario, the SBC fails to build the XML Metadata Information which failed to trigger the Recording call. Platform/Feature: SBC | Initialized the PeerGcid to default value. |
SBX-85642 | 2 | False alarms for unused mgmt interfaces on the SBC 5400. Platform/Feature: SBC | The alarm is not generated if the management port does not have any LIF configured on the port. |
SBX-87467 / SBX-63571 | 2 | PortFix SBX-63571 (Originated in Release 5.1.6R0): The Active CE may fail to synchronize ("Call/Registration Data" stays in syncInProgress) after LSWU upgrade of Standby CE, when ipPeer pathCheck is used. The RTM process was not able to handle pathCheck messages that may occur during LSWU. Platform/Feature: SBC: Application | The RTM process was updated to handle pathCheck messages which may occur during LSWU. |
SBX-86277 | 2 | CallFlow is captured properly but the sequence of the packet is out of order. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to log the packets in the proper order. |
SBX-85858 | 1 | Non-default addressContext ACLs are not working. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified so that the non-default address context ACLs work properly. |
SBX-86653 | 2 | Log packets before and after SMM translations. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to log the packets in the proper order. |
SBX-87410 | 2 | NRMA fails to select the AMR codec when restricted mode set is present in Offer and Route PSP during tone play. Platform/Feature: SBC | An option under NrmaCodecIsBestPossibleMatch handled this issue. |
SBX-87511 | 2 | The SBC is not printing ingress details in callDetailStatus/callMediaStatus after switchover for REFER flow. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified so that the details are shown properly. |
SBX-87529 | 2 | The SBC is not intercepting media packets of one stream post REFER. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified so the SBC is able to intercept all streams of A leg post REFER. |
SBX-87768 | 1 | This issue occurred as routers respond to the ARP probe request sent by the SBC with a GARP request, and the target MAC in that ARP request is set to a broadcast MAC. The SBC expects the target MAC in the ARP response sent by router to contain the MAC address of the SBC port from which the request was sent. The SBC was not treating this as a valid response, which resulted in reporting standby links as DOWN. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to compare the target IP address received in ARP response to the destination IP configured in Link Monitor when target MAC comparison fails. In case of GARP request/response, the target IP would be set to IP of the router sending these packets. This change will result in considering GARP request sent by the router as a valid response and reports link up. |
SBX-87739 | 2 | The SBC is not able to send local ACK after REFER when E2E ACK is enabled. Platform/Feature: SBC | E2E ACK functionality should not kick in after call is transferred as 200 OK response does not need to be relayed to other leg. Code changes are made. |
SBX-87730 / SBX-87648 | 3 | XRM deadlock. Standby keeps restarting. Platform/Feature: SBC | The issue was fixed by the XRM inserting the xres into the encryption hashtable after state becomes active, and by processing the modify (deactive-reactive) scenario, the hash entry in map should be updated, otherwise it causes the duplicate issue. |
SBX-87622 | 2 | The SBC does not honor the expires value from the registrar. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to accept the expires value from the known contact of 200 OK when there are multiple contacts in 200 OK to REGISTER. |
Resolved Issues in 07.02.01R000 Release
The following issues are resolved in this release:
Issue ID | Severity | Problem Description | Resolution |
---|
SBX-75934 | 2 | Reject options with 503 internal error when blockdirection in TG is set to incoming/both.
Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP-Peering | The code was modified to reject the options (Max-Forwards:0) when the TG is configured with block direction incoming/both direction. |
SBX-76448 / SBX-76121 | 1 | PortFix SBX-76121: The SBC core dumps if P-Com.Session-info with SIP URI of the format sip:host is received. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: SIP | The code was modified to handle P-Com.Session-info with SIP-URI of the format sip:host. |
SBX-76571 / SBX-74056 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74056: Call scenario is inconsistent in the case of a SIP-I/SIP call with Hold on 180. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | Validation code was added to ensure that the SBC does not send out a generic notification with hold in the backward direction until after the call is answered. It is only sent out in the forward direction after the call has routed. Retrieve is also not sent out unless hold has previously been sent out. |
SBX-76013 / SBX-75378 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75378: Code to free a structure is missing from camRecordDestroyOptionalFields . Platform/Feature: SBC 5000 Series: Call Control | Code was added in camRecordDestroyOptionalFields to free the CAM_GLOBAL_CHARGE_REF_STR structure. |
SBX-76041 / SBX-74899 | 3 | PortFix SBX-74899: The SBC disconnects calls intermittently. After that, the UAC sends Re-INVITE without any change in SDP, so the SBC responds locally. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | Do not modify RID to enable Snoop if RID is disabled. Support was added to LE2LE BRES types so that RIDs are not enabled if the destination MAC address is not resolved. Code was missing for these BRES types. |
SBX-76017 / SBX-75618 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75618: SIPFE found the wrong Reg AOR and route Options to the wrong SG (slot). Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Access | The code was modified to route both Regs to the same slot and send Verify Options to the correct AOR endpoint.
|
SBX-76052 / SBX-74160 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74160: If a T.38 packet arrives typically within 10 ms of channel activation, all appropriate initializations may not be completed. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: DSP | The code was modified so that early packets are rejected. |
SBX-76016 / SBX-75864 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75864: A memory leak occurs during configuration dialog authentication. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | The code was modified so that memory is properly freed. |
SBX-76012 | 1 | The SBC does not allow "modify" or "add new header" when the last or final action was "reject" or "teardown". Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | In the case of "reject" or "tear down", though failure status was returned, if the message was modified previously using any other SMM, the modified message will be considered. |
SBX-76062 / SBX-75057 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75057: SMM Dialog Statefull Variables with Dialog Transparency is not working. 200 OK for Re-INVITE sent, Bye Received and 200 OK is re-transmitted. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The Record-Route should be sent in 200 OK of Re-INVITE so that SMM with Dialog Transparency works. |
SBX-76494 / SBX-76310 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76310: In downstream forking and 18x without PRACK, the SBC does not relay a 180 response. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified so that the 180 response is not dropped. |
SBX-76492 / SBX-76059 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76059: NTP security improvements needed. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Security | The fix contains NTP security improvements. |
SBX-72863 | 3 | TPAD crashed when it was setup for internal (IDP) format but received a mix of RTP and IDP packets. This caused TPAD to delete the buffer pool, and inconsistency resulted in illegal memory access resulting in a crash. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: DSP | The code was modified to not delet the buffer pool because IDP channel is expected to receive only fixed size IDP packets. If it receives RTP packets, it will drop RTP packets but not re-carve buffer pool.
|
SBX-76453 / SBX-75458 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75458: When 180 Ringing is received before completion of UPDATE-200OK during an egress precondition inter-working scenario, an issue is seen. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | The code was modified to queue this 180 response event and release it when 200 OK for UPDATE is received. |
SBX-76456 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76182: Issues occur after SBC7K receives 181 on Egress. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | The Preconditions Update needs to be sent for 18x with SDP, and Ignore 18x needs to be sent without SDP. |
SBX-75249 | 2 | The error "Unable to login to peer shell, IP: 169.254.88.1" was observed after LSWU. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: Application | The code was enhanced to ensure the local file is always updated with the correct encrypted string present in the database. |
SBX-76097
| 2 | The new MAC address in the received Gratuitous ARP sent by the next-hop router will update the media packet headers of the existing calls. The previous SBC behavior was to use the new MAC address from Gratuitous ARP (G-ARP) only if the IP address in G-ARP belonged to the peer. If the peers are reachable via the next-hop router, the existing calls can experience one-way audio when the next hop router’s MAC address changes. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Common Sonus Platform Services, Platform IP/Media Services | The code was modified to include processing G-ARP from the next-hop router when the media peers of existing calls are reachable via the next-hop router. |
SBX-76851 / SBX-62682 | 2 | PortFix SBX-62682: Deleting the IP interface while in dryUp action does not work correctly.

SBX-76844 / SBX-74460 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74460: The SBC releases ACK based on Stack State, while unaware of delayed ACK and Faking from Stack. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Application | Code was added to consider the delayed ACK. |
SBX-76857 / SBX-76611 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76611: Standby Subscribe with registration accessed an invalid address, causing a core dump. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | The code was modified to validate the address before giving access to it. |
SBX-76856 / SBX-74725 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74725: "Minimize relaying of media changes from other Call Leg All" is suppressing Re-INVITE to pass through codec in REFER scenario. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | Code was added to check the peer and the new codec. |
SBX-76794 / SBX-76119
| 2 | PortFix SBX-76119: For a SIP to SIP call using GW protocol between 2 SBCs with "Include OTG" selected, the OTG parameter in Egress Invite will contain GW trunk name instead of name of ingress SIP trunk group from ingress GW. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Gw-Gw | The code was modified to work the same as if “SIP core” was being used between two SBCs, and put the name of ingress SIP trunk group from ingress GW into OTG parameter in egress INVITE (instead of the “interconnect” trunk group name (GWTG1)). |
SBX-76845 / SBX-71646 | 2 | PortFix SBX-71646: While sending input data for certificate content, content is encoded and not read by netconf properly. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: EMA | A check was added to not encode the certificate content while doing an import certificate for the PKI certificates. |
SBX-76876 / SBX-74280 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74280: After a user logs out of EMA, some of the http sessions are not cleared, which results in stale http sessions in the heap, causing an out of memory error. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: EMA | The code was modified to terminate all http sessions during logout. Also if user logins to EMA with user session timeout set to disabled and closes the browser, then after 24 hours user session will be terminated. |
SBX-76971 / SBX-75802 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75802: A Radius account timeout occurs. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: Application | A check was added to avoid killing the session for a Radius user. |
SBX-76916 / SBX-75086 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75086: SCM core dumped due to an attempt to de-reference a NULL pointer. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Application | The code was modified to check that the pointer is non-NULL before attempting to de-reference it. |
SBX-76972 / SBX-67707 | 3 | PortFix SBX-67707: A swagger interface was exposed. Platform/Feature: SBC: EMA, Platform, Security | The index.html file was removed, and the servlet entry from web.xml file was removed. |
SBX-77014 | 3 | Servers1 is not created in memusage log during upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1. Platform/Feature: SBC: Install/Upgrade(Platform) | The code was updated to correctly create the servers1 field in the memusage log type so that upgrades complete correctly. |
SBX-76757 | 2 | The SBC adds duplicate Via headers. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | The code was fixed to remove duplicate VIA Headers. |
SBX-85176 / SBX-74608 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74608: When the minimize flag is off, and after egress resume on a call on hold takes place, the SBC sends an unnecessary INVITE. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to suppress re-INVITE while the call is on hold. |
SBX-85207 / SBX-74611 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74611: When multiple switch over occurs, includeQ850Reason and unrecAction flags configured on custom cpcToSipCauseMapProfile are not honored and instead default values from baseProfile is used. Consequently, mapping between CPC to SIP cause code is incorrect. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to make sure the SBC honors the includeQ850Reason and unrecAction flags configured on a custom cpcToSipCauseMapProfile . |
SBX-77021 | 2 | The platformManager has broken logic. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: ConnexIP OS, Platform | A postrotate configuration was added to make apache2 re-read its configuration after logrotate. An issue where logs in /var/log/sonus/cnxipm/admin were not being rotated due to insecure permissions of parent directory was fixed. All exim4 cron jobs and logrotate configurations were removed as they were causing an error during logrotate. |
SBX-85185 / SBX-63896 | 2 | When Dynamic LRBT is enabled, UPDATE with SDP change after call is connected is not sent to other leg and responded with 200OK. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP Applications | The code was modified to make sure if the dynamic LRBT is enabled, the UPDATE with SDP is handled and the SDP change is sent to the other leg and not responded to with 200OK. |
SBX-76781 / SBX-75076 | 3 | PortFix SBX-75076: If the SBC is re-ISOed and then loadConfig is performed, it results in the loss of confd.conf encryption keys. The encrypted fields in CDB then become non-decryptable. If an upgrade is performed in such a scenario from 4xx/5xx to 7.2.x, then it will fail as confd will fail to decrypt the mandatory encrypted fields and so the fields will remain blank in CDB. During startup post upgrade, confd will exit during validation phase as it will find blank for mandatory field. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Install/Upgrade(Platform), IPSec | To prevent upgrade failure, upgrade code is introduced, which fills in a dummy value if an empty value fund for mandatory encrypted fields. |
SBX-85446 | 2 | Apache Commons FileUpload package requires security upgrade. Platform/Feature: SBC | Commons FileUpload package file to the latest version was updated to the latest version. |
SBX-85110
| 2 | The SBC is rejecting EVS Passthrough call for an invalid attribute added in fmtp line. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to fix this issue. |
SBX-85781 | 2 | LSWU failure. Synchronization Failed For DNSC. Platform/Feature: SBC : Install/Upgrade(Platform) | The Serialization code was corrected. |
SBX-85661 / SBX-85273 | 1 | PortFix SBX-85273: SMMs are not properly displayed in EMA. Platform/Feature: SBC : EMA | The code was modified to display SMM rules properly while using 'View CLI'. |
SBX-85501 / SBX-85455 | 1 | PortFix SBX-85455: When the SBC receives an INFO message with content type as media_control + XML and XML body does not contain any tags, ScmProcess core dumps. Example of an INFO message:

Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Memory Management | The code was modified to make sure ScmProcess does not core when the SBC receives INFO message with content type as media_control + XML and XML body is malformed. |
SBX-76553 / SBX-76408 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76408: When Lawful Intercept is configured, the SCM process may leak memory. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP Applications | Code was added to free the memory that is allocated for each call when Lawful Intercept in enabled. |
SBX-76063 / SBX-67966 | 2 | PortFix SBX-67966: ssreq launched from EMA was blank and was not loading. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: EMA | A platform type check for SBC was added.
|
SBX-85679 | 3 | An EMA issue where Subscriber Numbers are in the Surrogate Registration Profile occurs when validation is missing for the Subscriber Numbers field. Platform/Feature: SBC | The code was modified to validate the Subscriber Numbers field. |
SBX-85622 / SBX-76903 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76903: SMM headerInfo requirement different in EMA and CLI. The SMM entered in CLI will give an error in EMA. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: EMA
| The check for requestAll and responseAll message types where the method type is not added in the response was removed. |
SBX-85012 / SBX-76469 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76469: An SRTP Crypto call with x-dmi is corrupting Egress SDP. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Common Sonus Platform Services | A bug in SIPSG that used incorrect NSD buffer when converting DM NSD to SDP and caused corruption in the result SDP was fixed. |
SBX-85197 / SBX-74066 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74066: No audio is passed across in the early stage of the dialog. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Media | A check was applied so that PEM header on Ingress does not make a difference as it should only be used when received from Ingress. |
SBX-76915 / SBX-66015
| 2 | PortFix SBX-66015: G.711 playout buffer sizes were increased in release 6.0 as part of SBX-57507 so that the initial playout delay and jitter minimum occupancy threshold could be set at values up to 200 ms. However, the TPAD playout buffer was not increased in size, so this large setting of initial playout delay can result in a core dump. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: DSP | The code was modified to ensure that the initial playout delay and the jitter minimum occupancy threshold will never exceed 50 ms.
|
SBX-76169 | 2 | An issue occurs when DB backup was restored when backup was taken from the unsupported version. Platform/Feature: SBC: Common Sonus Platform Services | The code was modified to set the bitmask. This bitmask is used to check when to reach into the signaling IP. |
SBX-85918 / SBX-85312 | 1 | PortFix SBX-85312: After call transfer, the media loss detection feature turned OFF as the logic hit the MGSG feature, which accidentally turned the feature OFF. Platform/Feature: SBC: Media | The code was modified so that if not MGSG, then the feature does not turn OFF. |
SBX-75845 | 2 | When HTP all header transparency is set with ignoring some headers related to Privacy, though IPSP Privacy transparency is disabled, we still send those ignored headers transparently. Platform/Feature: SBC: SIP, SIP Access | When sipHeader all transparency is enabled in HTP, and Privacy related headers transparency needs to be ignored, then all following headers should be ignored in HTP. Refer to SBC SIP Transparency Implementation Guide for more information. |
SBX-76972 / SBX-67707 | 3 | PortFix SBX-67707: Swagger interface exposed. Platform/Feature: SBC: EMA, Platform, Security | Swagger API documentation has been removed.
|
SBX-76857 / SBX-76611 | 3 | PortFix SBX-76611: Standby Subscribe with a registration access invalid address caused a core dump. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | The code was modified to validate the address before accessing it.
|

Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified so that the SBC does not drop 180. |
SBX-85223 | 2 | The SBC was unable to reach the benchmarking count of 150000 on bluefin setup. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Performance | The XRES hash table size was fixed, as it was unintentionally sized too small. |
SBX-71308 / SBX-71309 | 2 | Fax tone treatment setting not working in a fax call with multiple m lines. Platform/Feature: SBC 7000 Series: Media (FAX), SIP | The code was modified so that the call flow works. |
SBX-72663 / SBX-85781 | 2 | LSWU failure. Synchronization Failed For DNSC. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: Install/Upgrade (Platform) | The serialization code was corrected. |
SBX-76587 | 1 | When a TCP connection is idle for more than 60 minutes, due to the Aging timer expiry, the connections are treated as inactive and will be disconnected by the S-SBC.
Platform/Feature: SBC: SIP-Peering | A New configuration flag, sipTcpConnectionAgingState, is introduced to control the Aging timer. If sipTcpConnectionAgingState is disabled, then TCP connections are maintained even if they are Idle for more than an hour.
If sipTcpConnectionAgingState is enabled, then TCP connections are guarded by the Aging Timer and connections are removed if they are found Idle for more than an hour. |
SBX-85035 / SBX-76978 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76978: When the SBC has /var/log mounted on the external cinder volume, /home/sftproot/evlog is missing. This causes EMS statistics collection to fail. Platform/Feature: SBC: Install/Upgrade(Platform) | The code was modified to replicate evlog dir on /home/sftproot/evlog, since /home/sftproot is the chroot directory for SFTP access. |
SBX-76862 / SBX-76861 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76861: AIDE service is disabled initially, but can be enabled by user. False positives are reported by AIDE. Platform/Feature: SBC: Common Sonus Platform Services | Temporarily disable AIDE to avoid false positives. Full implementation to provide user controls will undo this change. AIDE can be enable by following these steps: 1. Copy /opt/sonus/sbx/scripts/aide.sh to /etc/cron.daily/aide Command: cp /opt/sonus/sbx/scripts/aide.sh /etc/cron.daily/aide 2. Run the aideinit to create baseline Command: /usr/sbin/aideinit -c /etc/aide/aide.conf -f -y > /var/log/sonus/hids/aide_init.log |
SBX-86276 | 2 | Max-Forwards value is not getting decremented when the rfc7332ValidateMaxForwards flag is enabled for end to end ACK scenario. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | When endToEndAck and rfc7332ValidateMaxForwards flags are enabled, the SBC now decrements the value of the max-forwards value received from ingress by 1 and sends it to egress endpoint. |
SBX-86289 / SBX-86003 | 1 | PortFix SBX-86003: The SBC includes SDP in subsequent 18x while Update offer is pending. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | Do not include SDP in 18x if the flag "include SDP in subsequent 18x" is disabled. |
SBX-86340 / SBX-86094 | 2 | PortFix SBX-86094: Late answer Onhold caused mismatch codecs. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | Ignore the response from Onhold while there is a pending Offhold about to send out.
|
SBX-85859 | 2 | In the case of a DNS crankback, TCB is getting replaced in pstCall and we do not have access to it. In the case of an MRF call application, CCB can be deleted because of an error event.

SBX-85187 / SBX-76066
| 2 | PortFix SBX-76066: When the RTP monitoring profile is configured for a non-zero monitoring period, NP does not send any notification to the application for IPV6 RTP packets. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | The code was updated to match the IPv6 SRC IP address in the RTP packets so that a notification can be sent after the configured number of RTP packets have been received. |
SBX-76501
| 2 | The SIP Contact does not contain RegInfo with embeddedRegInfoinUserPart enabled. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Access | With the embeddedRegInfoInUserPart flag enabled, the SBC now sends the same Contact's userpart in the request/responses towards the application server which was sent earlier in the REGISTER message. |
SBX-85190 | 1 | The UserPart received in Request URI of INVITE was truncated in the SBC, leading to call failures. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | The code was modified to avoid the operation that caused the UserPart to be truncated. |
SBX-85299 | 2 | Verstat parameter is sent in the egress INVITE in the PAI header when privacy transparency is enabled in PSX and 'Do not Sent Received value' for verstat param is enabled in the STI Profile. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: SIP | The code was modified to give precedence to the STI profile control and allow modification to the PAI header according to that profile setting. This change in precedence allows the "verstat" parameter to be removed from the PAI header if configured within the STI profile.
|
SBX-85291 | 1 | NWDL License activation failed and core dumped was observed on standby node. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: EMS | The buffer overrun was corrected. |
SBX-77057 | 2 | The SIPREC leg media changes to SRTP after the ingress leg of the CS call sends a re-INVITE. Platform/Feature: SBC: Call Control | The code was modified to handle RE-INVITE cases when SRTP towards SIPREC is disabled. This takes care of both the INVITE and REINVITE cases whenever SRTP is supposed to be disabled towards SRS. |
SBX-85555 | 2 | When a 503 Error Response is received from MRF, MRFRM is not clearing its context. Calls are hanging towards the MRF Leg when FQDN is being used in the MRF Profile.
Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Media | The MRF context is cleared when 503 is received from MRF using FQDN. |

SBX-76449 / SBX-76448 | 1 | PortFix SBX-76448: The SBC core dumped if P-Com.Session-info with SIP URI of the format sip:host is received. The SBC does not handle sip:host URI in P-Com.Session-info. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: SIP | The code was modified to handle P-Com.Session-info with SIP-URI of the format sip:host. |
SBX-76742 / SBX-76497 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76497: M-SBC #3 in cluster 1 does not report in sync in the rgStatus . It is stuck in a sync state until rebooted. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Redundancy | Changes were made to clear node parameters for the node on which a member-failed event is received. Changes were also made to update the current role and service ID for the standby node in case member-failed is received for any other node, in order to avoid the race condition where member-failed and custom event may be received in quick succession due to a very short duration network glitch (< 1second). |
SBX-76732 | 3 | After setting the new CLI aggregate policer to unlimited, the bucket size and fill rate are set to 0pkt/s and block all packets. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Security | Code was added for an unlimited callrate or bucket size scenario. |
SBX-76829 / SBX-76500 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76500: Dead air occurs on the node after network maintenance because the same IP address is assigned to different SBCs. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Redundancy | Code changes were made to generate an AMF_NODE_ARRIVE event in case of distributed (N:1) mode, so that NRS can process it and generate GARPs when the node is coming up in a standby role in the redundancy group. CHM handling of this event was also updated so that the northbound interface for the Cloud N:1 distributed mode is not disabled. |
SBX-76862 / SBX-76861 | 2 | PortFix SBX-76861: AIDE service is temporarily disabled as false alarms are generated. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Common Sonus Platform Services | AIDE is temporarily disabled to avoid false positives. Full implementation to provide user controls will undo this change. |
SBX-76902 / SBX-74244 | 3 | PortFix SBX-74244: ScmP core dumped due to a NULL pointer accessing a service group table entry. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: SIP | A NULL check was added before accessing the service group table entry. |
SBX-76852 / SBX-62682 | 2 | PortFix SBX-62682: Deleting the IP interface while in dryUp action causes an error. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: CLI, EMA, Platform IP/Media Services | The CLI warning was updated to inform the user about possible issues when deleting ipInterface in dryUp mode while active calls are taking place.
|
SBX-76919 / SBX-62917 | 2 | PortFix SBX-62917: Configuration restore brings mgmtIntf4 interface to mgmtGroup . Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: confd | The Active CHM process was enhanced so that is does not merge XML files received from the standby process in a CLI loadConfig scenario. |
SBX-77036 | 2 | Ingress trunkgroup stiProfile setting was assumed to be enabled and did not take into account that this setting might not be enabled. Therefore, the “null pointer" check was not in place, causing a coredump. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application, SIP | The code was modified so that the setting was enabled and the core dump does not occur. |
SBX-76495
| 1 | The IKE process core dumped. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | The IKE timeout schedule callback function was updated to properly terminate and free the schedule structure, which prevents memory corruption from occurring. |
SBX-76978
| 2 | When the SBC has /var/log mounted on the external cinder volume, /home/sftproot/evlog is missing due to EMS stats collection failing. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Install/Upgrade (Platform) | The code was modified to replicate evlog dir on /home/sftproot/evlog, since /home/sftproot is the chroot directory for sftp access. |
SBX-76587 | 1 | The S-SBC disconnects TCP connection after 60 minutes. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP-Peering | Based on the new configuration flag (sipTcpConnectionAgingState) if the flag is disabled, then every TCP connection in the SBC will be added in to the NON-AGING list. |
Resolved Issues in Release
The following issues are resolved in this release:

| 2 | The SBC does not support Interception for target update in Re-INVITE when E-E Re-INVITE is enabled. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | A light weight policy dip for RE-INVITE with P-Com.Session-info header to be relayed was triggered (when End to END Re-Invite flag was enabled). The LI is triggered when policy response is received. |
SBX-67029 | 3 | The SBC handles a SIP REFER blind transfer differently depending on the call leg (Ingress vs. Egress) where the REFER is received. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | If the Refer TG is different than the original Egress TG then a PSX DIP is performed if skipRerouteQuerytoPsx is disabled. If Refer TG is different than the original Egress TG then a PSX DIP is not performed if skipRerouteQuerytoPsx is enabled. skipRerouteQuerytoPsx can be enabled only on Egress TG.

SBX-70324 | 2 | Certain SIP Access call flows fail due to an ARP lookup failure after an upgrade to 6.2.1R1. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Access | ICMP Echo Request was used to resolve the ARP failure. |
SBX-71637 | 2 | The SBC adds port 5060 instead of 5061 in the outgoing Route header in PRACK when Record-Route in incoming 18x contains transport=tls AND urihostport is missing. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to set the port as 5061 in the Route Header. |
SBX-71761 / SBX-68300 | 2 | PortFixSBX-68300: IP fragmented signaling packets received on a signaling port within the media port range are dropped as rogueMedia . Calls utilizing signaling packets that are large enough to be fragmented fail. Platform/Feature: SBC Core SIP | The code was modified to allow IP fragment reassembly of fragmented IP/UDP packets that are received on a SIP signaling port within the media port range. (With the exception of the default SIP signaling port of 5060). |
SBX-71964 / GSX-57791 | 2 | PortFix SBX-57791: Nature of Address (115) support is missing from ITU SIPROU variant for SIP-I calls. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Call Control, SIP | Code changes were made to allow Nature of Address (115) for ITU variant. |
SBX-72161 | 3 | T-shark "Stop & Save Trace" from EMA does not stop the capture, the file still grows as _ECHO constant was added at the end of the file. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: EMA | __ECHO was added in alphabetical order. |
SBX-72262 | 3 | DSCP marking for T.140 Text media - new flag t140Dscp needs to be documented. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | Flag t140Dscp was added and documented. |

SBX-72744 | 3 | AMR andAMRWBchanges for improving SWE channel density. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe, CE: DSP | The AMR and AMRWB improved the capacity code. Code was added, but channel density was not increased.
|
SBX-72929 | 2 | The feature control flag is at IP peer level. Because of this, SIPFE goes for hash lookup to access Advance peer details for every call and the flag sits inside the peer. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP Applications | The advancePeerControl flag was moved to Zone level from IP peer level.
|
SBX-72970 / SBX-62083 | 3 | PortFix SBX-62083: If an incoming call has contact in the FQDN, then ipPeer is missing in the trace for the incoming Invite. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | Code was added to get the peer IP from the activePeerIP field. |
SBX-73020 | 2 | The Cloud I-SBC does not come up with Multiqueue enabled on RHEL 7.5 when multi-queue is enabled on RHEL 7.5. As soon as the instance was spawned with multi-queue in RHEL 7.5, the instance will disconnect automatically. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | The code was modified so that the instance does not disconnect automatically. |
SBX-73082 /SBX-73025 | 3 | PortFix SBX-73025: The sonusEma stop/start script does not return to prompt as an exit command is missing if the user stops EMA. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: ConnexIP OS | An exit command was added if the user chooses to stop EMA. |
SBX-73087 / SBX-67954 | 3 | PortFix SBX-67954: While evaluating a displayWhen condition that involves an instance attribute, if the instance attribute is not set in CDB then the displayWhen condition evaluates as false. As a result, the EMA does not show the Exclude methods value. Platform/Feature: SBC 7000 Series: EMA | The displayWhen handling code was modified so that the Exclude methods value is shown. |
SBX-73089 / SBX-69614 | 2 | PortFix SBX-69614: In the SIP Adaptor (SMM) Profile, the View CLI script outputs rules in the reverse order. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Platform | A Rule sorter and action/criterion sorter were added to sort the rules based on index. |
SBX-73128 | 2 | Call trace cannot be disabled from EMA as the values entered for the attribute state were not saved properly. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: EMA | The code was modified to ensure that the values entered for the attribute state are saved properly. |

SBX-73200 / SBX-73149 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73149: SIP-SIP call flow works, but the SBC is still sending PEM to Ingress once it sends INVITE to Egress instead of waiting until Egress media cutthrough is done. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The Preconditions supported configuration issue where extra 18x is sent was fixed. |
SBX-73360
| 3 | CDR version for 7.2 needs to be captured in the relevant documents. CAM header fields need to be updated. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: CDR | The documentation was updated. |
SBX-73434 / SBX-73040 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73040: For a SIP-GW-GW-SIP call flow, when the PSX sends a translated number to Ingress SBC1, the Egress SBC2 sends a translated number to Egress SIP endpoint. This behavior was altered starting with SBC 6.0. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Gw-Gw, SIP | The code was modified to ensure that the Egress SBC sends the original called number to the Egress SIP endpoint in the outgoing INVITE.
|
SBX-73475 / SBX-73417 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73417: A queued reINVITE, race 491 conditions, and ACK with a different branch parameter value causes call failure. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The UA layer was modified to prevent sending reject SDP to appl. |

SBX-73477 / SBX-73327 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73327: A small window of race condition for a rare case of digit insertion causes NP to crash. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Platform | The NP design code was modified to prevent the crash. |
SBX-73602 / SBX-73573 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73573: A dummy sessionDescriptionPtr was created in SIPSG and then passed to NRMA. NRMA uses the dummy sessionDescriptionPtr passed from SIPSG where sRTPAdminState is disabled, causing the SRTP late media call to fail. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: Media | The code was modified so that if NRMA receives a dummy sessionDescriptionPtr , it checks for the notFullyQualified flag. If notFullyQualified is set to TRUE, sessionDescriptionPtr is ignored. |
SBX-73717 / SBX-68591 | 2 | PortFix SBX-68591: The SBC reports "Policy Data syncInProgress". Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Install/Upgrade (Platform) | The change done by SBX-59731 was reverted as policyDBSyncStatus can have 600 permissions when generated by Oracle.
|

SBX-74059 / SBX-73955 | 3 | PortFix SBX-73955: SipFe is not able to find registration, when the From header is missing the userpart, resulting in SipFe being unable to find the correct slot for routing the call. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to allow SipFe to continue looking for registration based on src Ip/port. |
SBX-74153 / SBX-73162 | 3 | PortFix SBX-73162: Privacy is handled incorrectly in the outbound INVITE as the SBC sends a restricted userpart in the From header. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified so that the SBC sends out Anonymous@Anonymous.invalid in the From header. |
SBX-74319 / SBX-74073 | 2 | PortFixSBX-74073: The SBC gives a response error when itrecievesa generic parameter with IPv6reference value. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | Code was added to support IPv6reference. |
SBX-74329 / SBX-74234 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74234: During split brain recovery, the becoming-standby SBC may send packets out of pkt interfaces after GARPs are sent by the active SBC. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: HA | The code was modified to disable the packets NIFs to prevent ARP/GARPs from being sent from the becoming-standby before it restarts to become standby and after the active has sent GARPs |
SBX-74332 / SBX-73913 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73913: Split brain recovery may lead to blacklisted IP peers. In a split-brain scenario when the SBC application is brought down, the cleanup script invoked toggles the pkt ports. When the pkt port goes up, ICMPV6 packets are sent out to the pkt ports. The switch may map the wrong port with the active MAC address and start sending packets to the standby SBC. The packets should not be sent. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application, Platform | When the SBC is brought down, the clean up script will leave the pkt ports at the "down" state at Linux level and also disable the pkt NIFs at the NP level. |
SBX-74338 / SBX-69137 | 2 | PortFix SBX-69137: During IMS-AKA registration, IPSec policy and SA are configured in kernel and during de-registration, they are removed from kernel. An issue in kernel IPSec code causes memory allocated for IPSec policy to not be freed even though IPSec policy was removed from kernel by application. This causes a memory leak in kernel module for each registration and the memory leak gradually increases as the number of registrations increases. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: IPSec, SIP | The Kernel code was fixed so that memory allocated for IPSec Policy gets freed when the policy is removed from kernel by the application code. |
SBX-74342 / SBX-74127 | 3 | PortFix SBX-74127: MemUsage logs are not displayed in EMA. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: EMA | The code was modified to add support for Memory Logs.
|
SBX-74476 / SBX-72774 | 2 | PortFix SBX-72774: SBC was not able to convert when a state where ICE learning was completed to a state where ICE was not required on the call flow due to call forking. This lead to no audio after the call was set up. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified so that there is audio after the call is set up. |
SBX-74589 / SBX-74387 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74387: E2E reINVITE caused the application offer to timeout. If a new offer is the same as a previous SDP, SIPS fails to send out a reINVITE. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to force SIPS to send the reINVITE. |
SBX-74813 / SBX-73433 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73433: Call failures occur due to Lif with no available ports. Platform/Feature: SBC 7000 Series: Platform IP/Media Services | The NRMA call allocation function to initialize media port range values in the call leg structure was updated. |
SBX-74857 / SBX-74375 | 2 | SBX-74375: SCM cored as a result of an attempt to copy from unmapped memory. This problem is not predictable - but will only happen if sipSigSrvcGrpRewriteIdentities is configured.
Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | The code was modified to prevent copying from unmapped memory. |
SBX-74863 / SBX-73636 | 1 | PortFix SBX-73636: The SBC did not auto-recover after double failure. In a case where both active and standby SBC processes go down in succession, it can lead to a state where active SBC node may continue to run as standby even if there is no node running in active mode in the redundancy group. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Platform | The code was modified to ensure service continuity in case of SBC double fault. |
SBX-75021 / SBX- 73391 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73391: SCM process may coredump during multi-party redirection call flows. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | The code was modified to correctly define the size of the buffer used to transfer the peer active leg information, and copy the correct amount of data (from source to destination ICM messages). |
SBX-75075 / SBX-74514 | 2 | PortFix SBX-74514: The SBC (which later becomes standby) sends GARPs after GARPs are sent by the SBC (which stays active) after split brain recovery. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: HA | The code was modified to issue GARPs from the active node when a standby node joins the cluster. |
SBX-74905 | 2 | The application shuts down and restarts due to disk space usage. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Platform | The code was modified so that the service shuts down instead of restarting. |
SBX-74993 / SBX-65396 | 3 | PortFix SBX-65396: EMS (SBC-Manager) and EMA are out of sync due to missing code for handling and accessing custom perspectives in the SBC. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: EMA/EMS | Rest Services were implemented to ensure that custom perspectives are handled appropriately in the SBC. |
SBX-75177 | 2 | T38 stack v3.35 from Commetrex has broken v0 fax calls and should be reverted to the previous version. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: DSP | The code was reverted to the previous version. |
SBX-73465 / SBX-73374 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73374: PRS cored when SBX received a STUN message with a bad UDP header (UDP length field contained an invalid value).

SBX-75221 | 1 | The SBC EMA does not allow uploading token files with the file upload as the token file extension is not supported in the file upload. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: EMA | The code was modified to allow token files to upload successfully and to load the values from the token file into the Configuration script form. |
SBX-75333 / SBX-74051 | 3 | PortFix SBX-74051: Under a heavy load, while using IPSec AKA TCP feature, the SAM process may coredump due to the code not handling an error condition correctly. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: IPSec, SIP | Error handling for IPSec AKA TCP was improved. |
SBX-75335 / SBX-67713 | 2 | PortFix SBX-67713: When sendRouteUriToPsx is enabled, useRouteSet is set as received, and the SBC receives NOTIFY before 200OK for SUBSCRIBE is received, the SBC sends NOTIFY received from the core side back to the core side instead of relaying it to the access side. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified to ensure the SBC relays NOTIFY received before 200OK for SUBSCRIBE to the correct leg. |
SBX-75369 | 2 | The M-SBC cannot establish IPSec connections after reboot/respawn during LSWU initiated switchover due to a pre-shared key getting re-encrypted. Encryption keys are not installed to the upgraded instances, due to which the instances are not able to decrypt the pre-shared key. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | The code was modified to install the keys from an older version of the configuration database. |
SBX-75444 / SBX-72547 | 2 | PortFixSBX-72547: GW-GW call fails when a LM Re-INVITE is received with passthrough configuration as the PAM message is not sent to egress gateway. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | The code was modified so that GW-GW calls do not fail. GW1 now sends MCS PAM to GW2 on receiving a Re-INVITE without SDP. |
SBX-75492 / SBX-75463 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75463: After TG delete, the SBC accesses an invalid TG address, causing SCM to coredump. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Applications | The TG address is validated before access.
|
SBX-75559 / SBX-75052 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75052: After a switchover, SBC will randomly pick a media IP address on sipTrunkGroups that has mediaIpAddress configured. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: SIP | The code was modified to pick the configured mediaIpAddress . |
SBX-74893 / SBX-73484 | 2 | PortFix SBX-73484: The SBC does not send 180 ringing and 200 OK from GSX CPG and ANM, because of Downstream Forking Flag being enabled on Ingress TG. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP
| The code was modified so that the SBC sends the 180 and 200 OK. |
SBX-75507 / SBX-64175 | 2 | PortFix SBX-64175: In SIP call forking, there is dead air after 200 OK. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Media Resource Management, Platform IP/Media Service
| If subsequent 18X responses are received for particular peer with the same SDP, then stop performingcutthroughfor subsequent responses. |
SBX-75486 / SBX-72945 | 2 | PortFixSBX-72945: Short Spikes in CPU Utilization of Management Processes triggers resource DRM Congestion Level 3 Alarms. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: Platform | The code was modified so that the alarms are not triggered. |
SBX-75466 / SBX-75073 | 2 | PortFix SBX-75073: SIP Recording of a call using SRTP to a SIP Recording Server (SRS) does not work. The SBC generates malformed SRTP packets which do not reach the SRS. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe, CE: SIP | The SBC's packet snoop encryption software was fixed to adjust the packet data pointers due to the addition of the 10 byte authentication tag at the end of the packets. |
SBX-75624 / SBX-59422 | 2 | PortFix SBX-59422: PassThrough call converted to DM after HOLD/UNHOLD resulting in packets getting discarded after unhold. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP | The code was modified so that the packets are not discarded afterunhold. |

SBX-85825 | 2 | When a headend cluster configuration is pushed, the Standby SBC reboots and hangs without getting the Configuration. When a Standby SBC is rebooted, it transitions to registered online then later unregistered offline. This also happens in #1, Standby reboot after Configuration is pushed. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: EMA | Impact: When a headend cluster configuration is pushed, Standby SBC fails to download the configuration and so fails to come up properly. Workaround: To resolve the above issue, the fill rate and bucket size needs to be increased in lca.py script and the Standby SBC system needs to be rebooted so that it can download the configuration again. |
SBX-86354 | 2 | CallMedia and CallDetailstatus do not show in the EMA during the load run. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: EMA | Impact: Call details Status and Call Media Status are intermittently not visible in the EMA. Workaround: Call details status and Call Media status can be viewed from CLI. |
SBX-85824 | 1 | Egress peer sends back two UPDATES messages during call setup. The second UPDATE is rejected with a 488. During the processing of the second UPDATE a 183 without SDP is also sent and forwarded to the ingress with 100rel. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | Impact 1: 488 because of Nrma Modify Failure when UPDATTE followed by 18x w/o SDP received. This is because of PRACK is pending. Impact 2: 491 is issued when Update is received immediately after 18x without SDP with E2E Prack. This is again because of PRACK pending. Workaround 1: Enable E2E Update so that update will be queued when PRACK is pending. Workaround 2: No workaround available. |
SBX-85228 | 2 | Observed M-SBC reboot and PrsProcess crash during 30000 NP based tones playing.

SBX-85071 | 3 | The SBC did not like the <4K size INVITE PDU since the maxPduSizeValue = 6K. Platform/Feature: SBC | Impact: A PDU of a size less than 6K is rejected with 400 Bad Request, when maxPduSizeValue is set to 6K. Workaround: Increase the maxPduSizeValue to 15k. |
SBX-77054 | 2 | An LSWU Upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 failed. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: Application | Impact: While upgrading from pre-7.1 releases to 7.1 and 7.2 releases, if the SNMP trap targets are setup with <space> in the name field then the upgrade fails. This affects all the platforms (SBC 5xxx/7xxx/SWe). Workaround: Prior to the upgrade, the user must check and delete/replace any trap targets that are setup with <space> in the name. |
SBX-86003 | 1 | While UPDATE is pending and a subsequent 18x is received on Egress, the SBC includes SDP in the subsequent 18x on Ingress. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Application | Impact: The peer may reject the call. Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-85824 | 1 | Issue 1: 488 occurs because of Nrma Modify Failure when UPDATE followed by 18x w/o SDP received. This is because we try to fake when Prack is pending. Issue 2: A 491 issue occurs when UPDATE is received immediately after 18x w/o SDP with E2E Prack. This is again because of prack pending. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | Impact: UPDATES are rejected. Workaround: For issue 1: Enable E2E Update so that update will be queued when Prack is pending. For issue 2: No workaround available. |
SBX-86094 | 2 | Call fail after onhold and offhold. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: SIP Application
| Impact: A call onhold/offhold before being connected by Update may fail. Workaround: Enable E2E Update.

SBX-76066 | 2 | The SBC is discarding media packets when the SBC is monitoring and media packets are received from IPV6 terminated peer. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: The RTP monitoring feature will not work for IPv6 terminated peers, and therefore the following behavior will be observed. - If The SBC is in tone playing state and expecting media cut through after successful monitoring, the SBC will continue the tone play even though the expected RTP packet count is received, which is discarded by the SBC because of this issue.
- If the SBC does not have conditions for delayed tone play, is not in tone playing state and is expecting media cut through after successful monitoring, the SBC will discard media packets because of this issue.
- If the SBC has conditions for delayed tone play, is not in tone playing state, and is expecting media cut through after successful monitoring, the SBC will discard media packets because of this issue and therefore the delayed tone play starts because of the monitoring failure.
Workaround: no workaround for IPv6, but the same feature works for IPv4. |
SBX-85071 | 3 | The SBC did not like the <4K size INVITE PDU since the maxPduSizeValue = 6K. Platform/Feature: SBC | Impact: A PDU of a size less than 6K is rejected with 400 Bad Request, when maxPduSizeValue is set to 6K. Workaround: Increase the maxPduSizeValue to 15k. |

SBX-74179
| 1 | Cannot ping the G/W from the V6 interface alternatively when Alt_IP's are configured in X710 NIC card server. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application, Platform | Impact: IPv6 with X710 NIC cards in SRIOV mode will not work as multicast packets will be dropped by the PF. Workaround: Set the trust mode to "on" for all the VFs on the computes. ip link set dev <PF name> VF <vf id> trust on This needs to be done for all computes and all created VFs (this change is not persistent across reboots). This will allow Multicast promiscous mode to work. Otherwise, add a static neighbor table entry on the remote servers connecting to the SBC using the following command: ip -6 neigh add <IPv6 address> lladdr <link-layer address> dev <device> |
SBX-73218
| 1 | The S-SBC is unable to register 1M endpoints with 1000 RPS and is having a 180 second refresh Register with RHEL 7.5, RHOSP 13 (Queens) setup. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: Virtual ports intermittently stop responding on compute node running on RHOSP 13 (Queens) under certain conditions. Specifically, at 1000 RPS with refresh registration interval at 180 seconds, virtual ports stop responding after reaching 500K registrations. This issue is not seen when the refresh registration interval is configured as 200 seconds and above Workaround: Use SR-IOV ports only when using RHOSP 13 (Queens) release. |
SBX-73943
| 2 | The SBC does not add all codecs when Update is received with updated SDP from egress and sends 200 OK for Update with all supported codecs towards egress, the SBC is playing tone. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | Impact: The call signaling and media work properly, but media clipping can occur if the final cut-thru codec received from UAS is different from the codec that is being used for playing tone. Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-74945 | 4 | Unable to commit pkt and sip-sig config with single commit command. An error message is thrown when the commit command is given. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: CLI | Impact: Commit cannot be issued in for all set commands until the ipInterfacegroup is committed. Workaround: Commit should be issued for ipInterfacegroup first and then commit for the remaining set commands can be executed. |
SBX-73660
| 2 | Unable to view TRAPS under Fault Management in Cloud-ISBC (Openstack Nova Platform) in EMS. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application, EMA/EMS | Impact: EMS will not be able to identify the trap since the source IP address is packet interface. Workaround: Add a static route to EMS from the SBC through management interface. |
SBX-72513 | 2 | Memory congestion was observed when executing around 64K calls in the 32GB SWe system. Platform/Feature: SBC SWe: SIP-Peering | Impact: On a SWe system with 32GB 32vCPU, the SBC is only able to scale up to 60K calls instead of 64K, due to per call memory increase. Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-71303 | 2 | Observing 503 response for more time post port SWO in S-SBC. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: The load is 1000cps/120K calls. After doing port SWO on S-SBC, SBX rejects calls with a 503 response for 86 seconds. Later SBX again responds with 503 responses for approx 36 seconds. After that, it stabilizes. Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-72736 | 2 | The SBC is not able to handle 150 Sa/Sec IPsec load on the Yellowfin Platform. Platform/Feature: SBC 5000/7000 Series: SIP | Impact: If the rate for IPsec SA setup using IKE is increased beyond 60 SA/s, errors are seen. Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-72652
| 2 | The PSBC observing system is in continuous iRTT congestion during the overload test. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: IRTT congestion is observed continuously for the 15 mins duration of 3x overload. There is no congestion during normal 1x load. This is 1000cps/120K in DSBC (PSBC). Workaround: No workaround available. |
SBX-74546 | 2 | The SBC failed to generate Enum lookup after updating the dynamic metaVariable. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: Enum lookup fails to generate if the meta variable related to sipSigPort (used for the Enum lookup) is dynamically updated. Example: Before updating sipSigPort with new dynamic metaVariable: admin@vsbc1% show global servers lwresdProfile lwresdProfile DEFAULT { description DEFAULT; enumDomainNameLabel DEFAULT_ZONE_LABEL; enableLwresdLog disable; type signalingIp; addressContext default; eDnsGlobalBufferSize 4096; eDnsMonitorInterval 120; zone ZONE_ING_V6; sipSigPort 3; ipInterfaceGroupName LIG_ING_V6; } admin@vsbc1% show addressContext default zone ZONE_ING_V6 sipSigPort sipSigPort 3 { ipInterfaceGroupName LIG_ING_V6; portNumber 5060; mode inService; state enabled; transportProtocolsAllowed sip-udp,sip-tcp; ipVarV6 IF2.IPV6; } [root@VSBCSYSTEM-vsbc1 linuxadmin]# lsof -ni:5060 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 110u IPv6 3716854 0t0 UDP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c9]:sip CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 111u IPv6 3716855 0t0 TCP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c9]:sip (LISTEN) CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 112u IPv6 3716856 0t0 UDP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::a9]:sip CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 113u IPv6 3716857 0t0 TCP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::a9]:sip (LISTEN) ENUM query is successful from sipSigport (fd00:10:6b50:5d20::a9) After updating sipSigport to new dynamic metaVariable: admin@vsbc1> show table system metaVariableDynamic CE NAME NAME VALUE ----------------------------------------------------- vsbc1-10.34.195.109 lpl_egg fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c9 vsbc1-10.34.195.109 lpl_ing fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c7 admin@vsbc1% show addressContext default zone ZONE_ING_V6 sipSigPort sipSigPort 3 { ipInterfaceGroupName LIG_ING_V6; portNumber 5060; mode inService; state enabled; transportProtocolsAllowed sip-udp,sip-tcp; ipVarV6 lpl_ing; } [root@VSBCSYSTEM-vsbc1 linuxadmin]# lsof -ni:5060 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 110u IPv6 3716854 0t0 UDP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c9]:sip CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 111u IPv6 3716855 0t0 TCP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c9]:sip (LISTEN) CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 112u IPv6 3716856 0t0 UDP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c7]:sip CE_2N_Com 32059 sonusadmin 113u IPv6 3716857 0t0 TCP [fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c7]:sip (LISTEN) ENUM query is not picking new sipSigport (fd00:10:6b50:5d20::c7) updated with dynamic metaVariable
Workaround: Do not update the metavvariable associated with a sipSigPort if Enum is being used. Example: Don't update the sipSigport to new metaVariable admin@vsbc1% show addressContext default zone ZONE_ING_V6 sipSigPort sipsigPort 3 { ipInterfaceGroupName LIG_ING_V6; portNumber 5060; mode inService; state enabled; transportProtocolsAllowed sip-udp,sip-tcp ipVarV6 IF2.IPV6; } |
SBX-75609 | 2 | The SBC VM is failing to join back the cluster post switchover after healing (Recreate_destroy) N:1 MSBC VM. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Install/Upgrade(Platform) | Impact: The Ribbon VNF Manager provides functionality to manually heal a VM within an orchestrated VNF. There are a number of options for healing provided, including a Recreate_destroy option. There is an issue if the Recreate_destroy is executed on a VM that has DHCP enabled on its interfaces. In this case, the VM is provided new IP addresses, causing that VM to be unable to re-join in the cluster. Workaround: There is no workaround that is not service impacting. Do not execute the Recreate_destroy option on a VM that has DHCP enabled. |
SBX-74269 | 2 | The IPv6/v4 Interface update with a new dynamic meta Variable is not deleting the old IP address. Platform/Feature: SBC CE: Application | Impact: The old IP address is not getting deleted when the ipInterfaceGroup is updated with new dynamic meta variable.

Workaround: To change an addressContext ipInterfaceGroup to use a different ipVarV6 you must delete the ipInterfaceGroup and recreate it. Example: Delete the interface group: delete addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup LIG_ING_V6 Create interface group with new dynamic metaVariable: admin@vsbc1% show addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup LIG_ING_V6 ipInterface PKT_ING_V6 { ceName SSBCACTIVE; portName pkt0; mode inService; state enabled; ipVarV6 lpl; prefixVarV6 IF2.PrefixV6; vlanTagVar IF2.VlanId; } pkt0.609 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr fa:16:3e:ee:70:92 inet6 addr: fd00:10:6b50:5d20::cf/60 Scope:Global inet6 addr: fe80::f816:3eff:feee:7092/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9093 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9209 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:792396 (773.8 KiB) TX bytes:917382 (895.8 KiB) Note: Similar procedure for IPV4. |
SBX-75847 | 3 | The RTCP port is not transparently passed in Direct Media. Platform/Feature: SBC Core: Application | Impact: In case of a Direct Media call, the SBC will add an RTCP port in the outgoing INVITE SDP, when RTCP is enabled on Egress PSP and the RTCP port was not received in the incoming INVITE SDP. Workaround: Disable RTCP flag on Egress PSP. set profiles media packetServiceProfile PSP_DM_DTLS rtcpOptions rtcp disabled

Known Limitations
The following limitations exist in this release:
The VLAN tagged SRIOV packet interfaces are unable to ping endpoint Gateway IPs in the VMware platform because of an issue with VMWare.
When upgrading SBC SWe cloud instances to release 7.2, you must update your Heat template userdata section to include mandatory SSH key information. An issue in OpenStack requires that you use the stack-update process rather than re-launch after updating the template, which leads to a new UUID for the instance. As a result, you must regenerate and apply new license bundles to the upgraded instances during the upgrade.
Refer to Upgrading M-SBCs in an N:1 Redundancy Group for the relevant procedure.
Restricted Functionality with SBC
The following functionalities are not supported with SBC Microservices:
- SRTP
- Far end NAT traversal
- DTMF inter-working
- RTCP termination for pass-through calls
- Direct Media and Antitrombone
- NICE, SIP-REC
- Rx, Rf interfaces
- Multimedia - MSRP, BFCP
- Fax detection
- ICE/STUN
- SIP REFER
- SIP REPLACE
Two stage calls
- H323 support
- GW signaling support
Network Licensing Limitations
After switchover during grace period, when the new standby SBC comes up and establishes itself as standby, there is a short period (a few minutes) when the standby is synchronized for normal operation, but the new standby has not yet completed establishing its licensing state using the grace license information. If there is a second SBC switchover during that window, the new active SBC (which became active before completing license state synchronization) will lose calls until it re-acquires the grace licenses.
