Scenario

The 

Spacevars
0product
 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
    0product
    . The IAD discovers the
    Spacevars
    0product
    via DNS resolution and the
    Spacevars
    0product
    discovers the AS by pre-configured routing or external DB dip (e.g. ENUM).
  • Once registered, the IAD communicates with a specific
    Spacevars
    0product
    , and the
    Spacevars
    0product
    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
    0product
    from DNS.

Image Modified

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