Overview

The 

Spacevars
0 series4

supports ICE and DTLS with direct media and antitrombone scenarios. Any call, which is setup as Direct Media call can become a non-Direct Media call due to call transfer or Re-INVITE. The 

Spacevars
0 product

supports conversion of a Direct Media call to Non Direct media and vice versa and handles the ICE/DTLS interactions as per the following:

• Direct media call between two devices that support ICE procedures and may use DTLS for media. The ICE procedures, connectivity checks, and DTLS procedures occur directly between the endpoints. The direct media works with early dialog (answer in 18x reliable) and/or 200 Ok. The 

  Spacevars

  sends the following ICE and DTLS parameters are copied from Ingress SDP and sent in Egress SDP for direct media:
  • ICE parameters
    • ice-ufrag
    • ice-pwd
    • ice-lite
    • ice-mismatch
    • candidate

    • remote-candidates
    • ice-options

    • end-of-candidates
  • DTLS parameters
    • setup (active/passive)
    • fingerprint

• ICE-Lite procedure for a call when it is reconfigured as non-direct media after setting up as a direct media call initially.

• Reconfiguring a call to direct media with end to end ICE procedures after it is setup as non-direct media call using ICE-Lite procedures.

• Transferring a non-direct media call that used ICE-Lite to a direct media call to another party by Refer mechanism.

The  Spacevars 0 product  does not play any role in the ICE procedures for the transfer of a direct media call (that is connected through an AS) to a direct media call to another party except relaying the SDP parameters.

Note
If both DTLS relay and Direct Media are configured on Spacevars 0 product , Direct Media takes precedence over DTLS relay. A late media with pass-through call can be established as a Direct Media call if Direct Media configuration is enabled. A late media with convert call can be established as a Direct Media call if Direct Media configuration is enabled. However, in this case the first INVITE sent by the  Spacevars 0 product , the Egress side must have locally generated parameters (including local ICE candidates) in the SDP.

Antitrombone Direct Media

Antitrombone direct media uses normal direct media on the

facing the endpoints and antitrombone configuration on the

side facing the SIP AS. This feature is useful when x-dmi cannot be passed through the SIP AS. For more information, refer to Media Antitrombone.

ICE Ingress and Egress Compatibility

• DTLS must be enabled on Ingress and Egress Trunk Groups if required for Direct Media.
• ICE must be enabled and compatible between Ingress and Egress Trunk Groups for Direct Media ICE calls.

title Note
When a call is established as an ICE direct media call, the Spacevars 0 product does not support media handling. Therefore, the existing CDR fields are populated for Ingress and Egress local Ip address/ports as 255.255.255.255/65535 and Ingress and Egress remote IP address/ports as 127.0.0.0/5004 for each of the media streams on the call. For more information, refer to the section CDR Field Descriptions.
