The

Spacevars
0 series4

 allows relay support for MS Lync/Skype for business Desktop sharing application media streams. The application sharing media streams are relayed transparently through the

Spacevars
0 product

 over TCP connections. Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is completed over this TCP connection by the peer endpoint.

When the

Spacevars
0 product

 communicates with an MS Lync/Skype for business client, the

Spacevars
0 product

 expects the TCP connection to be established by the peer endpoint. Hence, the

Spacevars
0 product

 does not initiate the TCP connection on its own. This is an acceptable behavior as the

Spacevars
0 product

 is not situated behind a Network Address Translator (NAT).

The

Spacevars
0 product

 can also be configured to initiate and establish the TCP connection towards the third-party device to support interoperability when the  

Spacevars
0 product

 relays an application sharing media stream. This functionality is supported only when the Lync compatible peer endpoint and the

Spacevars
0 product

 are not situated behind a NAT. 

The

Spacevars
0 product

 includes the following MS Lync/Skype functionality:

• Application sharing media streams in Session Description Protocol (SDP)
• Accept and establish TCP connection with media IP/port of the peer application stream
• Exchange STUN messages over the TCP connection to negotiate ICE
• Relay desktop share data transparently end-to-end once ICE is completed

Info
title Note
If the parameter sourceAddressFiltering is enabled, the Spacevars 0 product filters incoming media packets, which do not match the expected source IP address and UDP port. In the Lync desktop sharing, the Spacevars 0 product accepts incoming TCP connection that matches any of the source addresses in the candidate lines of the ICE SDP received from the peer. When the Spacevars 0 product has not received an SDP from the peer, before the peer attempts to establish the TCP connection, the Spacevars 0 product ignores source address filtering and allows the TCP connection to be established on the application sharing stream.

Info
title Note
The existing fields Media Stream Data (230 of STOP record) and Media Stream Stats (231 of STOP record) are updated to log TCP/LYNC/APPSHARE when the SBC accepts a media stream of media type of desktop sharing on protocol TCP/RTP/AVP or TCP/RTP/SAVP. For more information, refer to the section CDR Field Descriptions.
