The 

Spacevars
0series3
supports local call forking for up to eight separate destinations. Additionally, the 
Spacevars
0series3
supports up to 20 early dialog responses and 20 calls forked downstream.

SIP Session Licensing

...


A SIP session for licensing purposes ("SIP session license") is a call (audio/audio+video) under SBC direction. Details are as follows:

  • A SIP session license is a SIP transaction that establishes a bi-directional audio/video media exchange (RTP media stream) between two ports on the SBC.
  • To set up the call, the SBC grabs a license token from the purchased SIP session license pool, sets up the call for the bi-directional RTP media stream, and then releases the license token after the call is taken down.
  • The media does not have to actually flow through the SBC; the license token is still grabbed to set up the media flow, whether or not the media physically transits the SBC.
  • It is possible to consume more than one SIP session license during a single call between two SIP clients. For example, a call that "hairpins" (i.e. one pair of ports supports one RTP media stream through the SBC, and another pair supports a second media stream through the SBC) will consume two SIP session licenses.

SIP transactions that are not directly related to a call setup/tear down are not licensed through the SIP session licenses. Generally, these transactions are free (e.g. SUBSCRIBE, etc.) except when they fall under a chargeable feature. For example, the SBC supports SUBSCRIBE method pass through related transactions (For example, one SIP client to inform another that a message is waiting, etc.) in a way that is limited by available CPU resources, and not by licenses.

Exceptions

A SIP session license is not consumed from the pool of licensed SIP sessions when a SIP↔SIP call has, on all legs (ingress and egress), any one of the following devices identified as the subtended peer:

  • SBC Edge (SBC 1000, SBC 2000, and SBC SWe Lite)
  • VX
  • Tenor

As a result, you do not need to purchase and apply a SIP session license for these calls.

For clarity, please note a SIP session license is consumed when a single leg (ingress or egress, not both) of a SIP↔SIP call has an SBC Edge, VX or Tenor product identified as the subtended peer.Any SIP ↔ SIP call consumes a single SIP session, for the life of the call, within the pool of SIP sessions that have been activated through a license submission.. 

Burst Behavior

If multiple calls arrive simultaneously, the 

Spacevars
0series3
will service the calls until it reaches a CPU usage threshold (~80%).
