Session Border Controller provisions basic geo-redundancy and DNS load balancing.
Background Information
The Integrated Access Device (IAD) is registered with an Application Server (AS).
The AS is protected by an
Spacevars
0
product
. The IAD discovers the
Spacevars
0
product
via DNS resolution and the
Spacevars
0
product
discovers the AS by pre-configured routing or external DB dip (e.g. ENUM).
Once registered, the IAD communicates with a specific
Spacevars
0
product
, and the
Spacevars
0
product
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
Spacevars
0
product
from DNS.

Image Modified
The IAD is configured with a FQDN identifying a set of
Spacevars
0
product
s.
The DNS supplies multiple
Spacevars
0
product
IP addresses (local, remote or a combination of both).
Basic geo-redundancy and load balancing between the
Spacevars
0
product
s are enabled. With geo-redundancy, if an
Spacevars
0
product
fails, the IAD re-registers through a different path.
