ICE-Lite Overview
The ICE-Lite (Interactive Connection Establishment) feature interfaces to the Microsoft TEAMS Direct Routing interface. The SBC integrates Microsoft Teams clients by acting as an ICE Lite agent endpoint for SIP calls involving Network Address Translators (NATs). This feature enables direct routing between an existing enterprise voice infrastructure (that is, the PSTN carrier and SIP trunks used for trunking services) and the Microsoft Phone System in Office 365. The SBC acts as a PSTN gateway; sessions for Microsoft Teams users can be routed directly to the PSTN through the SBC.
How does the SBC interoperate with Microsoft TEAMS?
As communications sessions are set up and negotiated, Session Description Protocol (SDP) is used to carry the IP addresses and ports of all participants that receive RTP streams. Because Network Address Translators (NATs) alter IP addresses and ports, the exchange of local IP addresses and ports may not be sufficient for establishing connectivity. Acting as an ICE-Lite agent, the
responds to connectivity checks as required to establish and verify connectivity.Spacevars 0 product
A Teams client initiates the media flow and becomes the controlling ICE agent for the SBC. During the establishment of a media session that uses ICE-Lite, the
goes through candidate gathering and connectivity check phases that occur before the controlling agent (optionally) sends a final SDP offer that includes the best local and remote candidates selected for a media flow. The Spacevars 0 product
, acting as ICE-Lite agent, acknowledges the final offer with an answer, and both endpoints use the selected candidate pair for the media flow.Spacevars 0 product
