Scenario
The
Session Border Controller provisions basic geo-redundancy and DNS load balancing.
- The Integrated Access Device (IAD) is registered with an Application Server (AS).
- The AS is protected by an . The IAD discovers the via DNS resolution and the discovers the AS by pre-configured routing or external DB dip (e.g. ENUM).
- Once registered, the IAD communicates with a specific , and the forwards requests to the specific AS (address was stored during registration).
- For calls terminating to the IAD, the IADs register their AORs.
- IAD has been registered by two paths and can afford for one path to fail and still receive service on the other, when it supports outbound. In a normal scenario where the IAD registers through one path and is unable to refresh the register, it moves on to an alternate from DNS.

- The IAD is configured with a FQDN identifying a set of s.
- The DNS supplies multiple IP addresses (local, remote or a combination of both).
- Basic geo-redundancy and load balancing between the s are enabled. With geo-redundancy, if an fails, the IAD re-registers through a different path.
