¹The SBC Core SWe/Cloud on AWS and GCP does not support IPv6. However, AWS infrastructure supports IPv6, but GCP infrastructure does not.

²ERE functionality is not supported as part of the SBC CNe. For the SBC CNe, the PSX CNe is mandatory. Ribbon recommends that customers who have typically used ERE for routing to work with Ribbon Professional Services to migrate their configuration to the PSX CNe.

³GW-GW (Ribbon proprietary protocol for communication between the SBC-GSX and SBC-SBC) functionality is not supported as part of the SBC CNe. Instead of GW-GW protocol, SIP-T protocol is recommended for the SBC CNe.
