SBX-26140: Video Bandwidth SDP Handling Improvements and Enhanced Statistics

The following CLI changes made to implement this feature:

The description of Packet Service Profile's maxVideoBandwith and videoBandwidthReductionFactor are modified to:

• maxVideoBandwith: Specifies the maximum session bandwidth that can be used for a call with video streams. It Includes the bandwidth for all streams in the call (audio, video, BFCP, and so on). If "0" is the value, video calls are not allowed and only audio calls can be set up which follows the normal allocation process. The value ranges from 0 to 50000 kbps and the default value is 10 kbps.
• videoBandwidthReductionFactor: Specifies the amount to reduce the session bandwidth allocation for the calls that include video streams. This does not affect the signaling, but affects only the internal allocation of bandwidth used for the calls. The value of this flag is on percentage reduction factor. For example: If the value of this flag is 20, the allocation of bandwidth for the calls is reduced by 20%. So, if the normal bandwidth allocation for calls is 1000 kbps, it gets reduced to 800 kbps.

Two new statistics, ingressSessionBandwidthkbps and egressSessionBandwidthkbps, are added to callDetailStatus object to display the allocated session bandwidth on each leg.

> show status global callDetailStatus
callDetailStatus 524288 {
    mediaStreams                        audio,video;
    state                               Stable;

    origCalledNum                       "";
    scenarioType                        SIP_TO_SIP;
    callDuration                        7;
    mediaType                           passthru;
    associatedGcid1                     524288;
    associatedGcid2                     524288;

% set profiles services sipParamFilterProfile <profile name>
    action 
        block <all, or comma-separated list of tags/methods to include>

    sipHeader <[allow] | require | supported>
    state <[disabled] | enabled>

SBX-30506: Pseudo Full ICE and MS-Lync ICE Support

               id <integer>

SBX-35114: Extend Registration Search Based on Partial Address of Record

The following statistics are added to addressContext sipActiveRegisterNameStatus table to allow the SBC to search the registration name status based on part of the Address of Record (AOR), plus provides the ability to search the entries which are not in the statistics table but registered in the SBC application using a part of the AOR name or the entire AOR name. :

• externalExpirationTimeLeft

• internalExpirationTimeLeft

• regId
  

• transportProtocolToAS

• transportProtocolToEndpoint

In this example, userPart is used as first parameter to retrieve the entry status that is not in the table but registered in the SBC application.

SBX-35400: SMM Full Dialog Stateful Variable Support

The SBC is enhanced to support Dialog Stateful variables for Out-of-Dialog SUBSCRIBE messages when advancedSMM is enabled, in addition to INVITE and REGISTER.

% set profiles signaling sipAdaptorProfile SMM_Test advancedSMM <[disabled] | enabled>

SBX-35473: Media Type Based CAC Support 

The SBC is enhanced to provide bandwidth Call Admission Control (CAC) per supported media type by limiting video streams to specified bandwidth limits in order to provide a level of protection from video calls consuming call bandwidth otherwise needed for audio calls. This protection is implemented on SBC Core by setting video thresholds (bandwidthVideoThreshold) to specific limits at the zone, trunk group, endpoint and shared CAC levels. The thresholds are a percentage of the total bandwidth limit such that any traffic above this level is reserved for audio-only calls. This video threshold limit behaves the same for emergency as well as non-emergency calls. Any video calls above the video threshold limit are dropped to allow audio calls to use this bandwidth.

NOTE:  Bandwidth CAC is not available for MSRP, data channels, FECC and BFCP streams.

set addressContext <addressContext name> zone <zone name> cac bandwidthVideoThreshold <0-100>
 
set addressContext <addressContext name> zone <zone name> sipTrunkGroup <sip tg name> cac bandwidthVideoThreshold <0-100> 

set global cac sharedCacLimitsPool <pool name> bandwidthVideoThreshold <0-100> 
 
set profiles sipCacProfile <profile name> bandwidthVideoThreshold <0-100> 

The following status and statistics commands are added in support of this feature:

show status addressContext default zone ZONE_AS callFailureCurrentStatistics videoThresholdLimit
show status addressContext default zone ZONE_AS callFailureIntervalStatistics videoThresholdLimit

show status global cac sharedCacFailureCurStats videoThresholdLimit
show status global cac sharedCacFailureIntervalStats videoThresholdLimit

show status addressContext zoneCurrentStatistics videoThresholdLimit 
show status addressContext zoneIntervalStatistics videoThresholdLimit
 
show status addressContext default zone ZONE_IAD sipPeerCacStatus videoThresholdLimit

SBX-35522: Use Same ICID in the Generated P-Charging-Vector

The storeICID flag is added to SIP Trunk Group signaling object to allow the SBC to retain the same ICID value generated during the first egressed INVITE in the P-Charging-Vector header in an egressed INVITE. This flag is configured on the egress trunk group.

% set addressContext <addressContext_Name> zone <zone_Name> sipTrunkGroup <sipTrunkGroup_Name> signaling storeICID <[disabled] | enabled>

SBX-36026: Upgrade Manager Enhancements

A new system status command, softwareUpgradeDetailedStatus, is added to view the detailed upgrade log of the LSWU upgrade process including the number of steps involved, the time taken to complete the upgrade and the results of the upgrade process.

> show table system softwareUpgradeDetailedStatus <SYSTEM_NAME> detailedStatus

SBX-38760: Enable SBC REST M2M Access by Default for all Administrator and Calea Users

The default value of localAuth user m2mAccess flag is changed to "enabled" for Administrator and Calea users (only) to enable SBC REST M2M access by default for these.

% set oam localAuth user <user name> m2mAccess <disabled | [enabled]>

SBX-41133: LSWU enhancment for advertiseAudioOnly flag

The advertiseAudioOnly is added to SIP trunk group object to allow the SBC to send only the main audio/image stream in the SDP offer for the following LSWU scenarios:

SBX-41511: Media Policer Reservation For Worst Case Codec

By default, the SBC reserves the worst case common audio codec bandwidth on trunk groups and IP interfaces for pass-through calls, and polices for the same bandwidth. To facilitate asymmetric pass-through calls scenarios/cases and to police on the heaviest codec in the offer or answer, the PSP flag policeOnHeaviestAudioCodec is added in this release.

% set profiles media packetServiceProfile <packet ServiceProfile name> flags policeOnHeaviestAudioCodec <[disable] | enable>
