Parameter

Length/Range

Description

forceReRouteViaPsxQuery N/A

Enable this flag to allow 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to perform a PSX query for new routes instead of using the IP address received in the Refer-To header.

  • disabled (default) – When this flag is disabled, the 

    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    does one of following:

    • If the IP address in the Refer-To header is zero or matches the 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      signaling IP address, the 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      performs a PSX query for new routes.
    • If IP address in Refer-To header does not match 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      signaling IP address and it is present in 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      Network Selector table, the 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      sends an INVITE message to the IPTG selected from the Network Selector table.
    • If IP address in the Refer-To header does not match 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      signaling IP address and is not present in the 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      Network Selector table, 
      Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
      handles the transfer via the Handle IP Addresses Not Present In Network Selector Table NST field (see below).
  • enabled – Enable flag to cause 

    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    to always perform a PSX query for new routes, regardless of the IP address received in the Refer-To header.

handleIpAddressesNotPresentInNetworkSelectorTableNst

 

N/A

Use this parameter to define how to handle a transferred call when the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not perform a PSX query for new routes and the IP address from the Refer-To header is not present in the Network Selector table. Options are:
  • rejectCall – The 
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    always rejects the call transfer.
  • routeViaDefaultZoneIptg – The 
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    sends the call transfer INVITE out from the Default Zone's IPTG.
  • routeViaDefaultiptg – This option is not applicable at this time.
  • routeViaTransferringIptg (default) – The 
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    sends the call transfer INVITE back out the transferring IPTG (i.e. the IPTG on which the REFER request arrived).

Flags

IP Signaling Profile SIP Common IP Attributes Flags

Parameter

Description

addPChargingFuncAddr

Set (enable) this flag to add the stored value of the PCFA header to a request or response.The PCFA header value is stored based on the flag.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
addPathServiceRouteEnable this flag to allow 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
acting as P-CSCF or IBCF to add two Path headers in REGISTER request towards the Core (createPathHeader must be enabled) OR allow 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
acting as IBCF to add two Service-Route headers in 200 OK response for REGISTER towards the P-CSCF (createServiceRouteHeader must be enabled).
  • disable (default)
  • enable
callHoldInterworkingSet flag to enable Call Hold Interworking service between ISUP and SIP. The service converts an ISUP call hold to an SIP call hold, or vice-versa. Call holds are invoked by ISUP or SIP/H.323 endpoints. When disabled, call hold indications are dropped.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
clearmodeForDataCallsSet flag to enable the clearmode function for data calls.
  • disable – (default) If disabled for the SIP Egress call leg, legacy operation is signaled and payload type is assumed implicit (same on both sides). If disabled for the SIP Ingress call leg, legacy G.711 operation is accepted as well as Clearmode.
  • enable – If enabled for the SIP Egress call leg, Clearmode is sent using dynamic payload type. If enabled for SIP Ingress call leg, only Clearmode data calls are accepted.
contactTransparencyForIsFocusMediaTag

Enable flag to transparently pass Contact header for all requests and responses in outgoing message when "isFocus" parameter is received in Contact header.

  • disable (default)
  • enable

This flag is configurable from ePSX or external PSX.


createPChargingVectorEnable flag to create a new PCharging-Vector header in outgoing message for INVITE and REGISTER messages. The PCharging-Vector header is also supported in SUBSCRIBE, OPTIONS, NOTIFY, MESSAGE, PUBLISH and REFER messages when received from same direction as REGISTER message. The P-Charging-Vector header contains the ICID value, ICID Generated at value and orig-ioi value. The string for orig-ioi value can be configured at egress trunk group.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
createPVisitedNetworkIdEnable flag to allow 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
acting as P-CSCF to insert a P-Visited-Network-ID Header in the egress REGISTER request with the P-Visited-Network-ID configured string.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
createPathHeaderEnable flag to create a new Path header in the outgoing REGISTER request.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
createServiceRouteHeaderEnable flag to create a new Service-Route header in the outgoing 200 OK response for REGISTER.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
customizedSessionTimerBehaviorWhen enabled, the remote peer expects customer-specific session timer behavior. When disabled, the remote peer expects the standard session timer behavior.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
disableAlsoHeaderEnable this flag to allow 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to ignore the Also header if received from the remote peer and 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not send the Also header to the remote peer. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
uses the Also header for call forwarding as usual.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
disableHostTranslationUse this flag to enable/disable host name translation. This applies to all URL style headers that require transparency and defines the processing that SBC is to apply to the host name portion of these headers before forwarding.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
disableMediaLockDown

Enable this flag to allow 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to disable media lock-down by not sending SIP Re-INVITE/UPDATE messages in the following scenarios:

  • Multiple codecs are sent in the offer and multiple codecs (or their subsets) are received in the answer, and the call becomes transcoded.
  • Multiple codecs are sent in the offer and a single codec is received in the response.
  • Multiple codecs are sent in the offer and a single codec with codec attributes is received in the response.

 If the result is a pass-through codec, and the most preferred codec in the answer (first codec in the list) is same as the selected codec, the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
disables media lock-down by not informing the egress peer using a re-INVITE.

If the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
offers both pass-through and transcoding codecs, the minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll flag effectively suppresses the re-INVITEs to peers when the peer answers with a single codec. However, if the peer has multiple codecs, the minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll flag in certain situations cannot suppress the re-INVITEs as a change in one of the common codecs is detected. In these situations, if the
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
’s most preferred codec matches the peer's most preferred codec, enable the disableMediaLockDown flag to suppress this Modify Offer initiated by the
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to lock down the codec.

If this flag is disabled, the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
sends a modify offer to lock down the codec.

  • disable  (default)
  • enable
disableReferToUriParametersBy default, this flag is disabled thereby allowing parameters in the SIP URI Refer-To header to pass through to the outgoing INVITE URI. Enable this flag to prevent the parameters from passing through.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
discardReceivedReasonHeader Enable flag to ignore cause code in received Reason header. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
uses the cause code in the received Reason header.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
doNotIncludeSsAttributeInReInviteEnable flag to prevent 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
from sending silence suppression (no a=silenceSupp is sent) in the SDP to the remote peer. When disabled, and when silence suppression is off, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
sends a=silenceSupp:offin the SDP to the remote peer.
  • disable (default)
  • enable

a=silenceSupp:on is never sent to remote peer in current implementation when silence suppression is on.

enableDefaultPUIProceduresEnable this flag to allow default PUI procedures on egress trunk group. Note that the Privacy 'Transparency' flag must be disabled to allow this feature.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
enableDialStringHandling This flag is primarily used to enable/disable transparency of dial string (i.e username) received in request URI of INVITE message. Transparency does not occur, however, if PSX/ERE returns globalized or non-private called address. SBC performs dial string identification based on RFC 4967.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
endToEndBye For SIP-to-SIP calls, enable flag to prevent 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
from issuing the 200 BYE on the side initiating the disconnect until the 200 BYE is received from the other leg. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
issues the 200 BYE on the side initiating the disconnect regardless of whether a 200 BYE is received from the other leg.
  • disable (default)
  • enable

fromHeaderAnonymisation

Enable this flag to prevent the FROM header of INVITE message from being anonymized. The SBC always relays the FROM header of INVITE.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
includeIpPortsInFromAndToHeaders When enabled, port numbers are included with IP addresses in the From and To headers of SIP messages. When disabled, port numbers are not included with IP addresses.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
includeReasonHeader When enabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
includes the Reason header in 18x, 4xx, 5xx, Cancel, and Bye messages in the forward direction. It is provisioned on the egress trunk group.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
includeSsAttributeInInitialInvite Enable this flag to send the 'a=silenceSupp:off' in the Initial Invite SDP to the remote peer when Silence Suppression is OFF. When disabled, 'a=silenceSupp' is not sent in the Initial Invite SDP to the remote peer. Note that 'a=silenceSupp:on' is never sent to the remote peer in the Sonus implementation when Silence Suppression is ON.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
includeTransportTypeInContactHeaderEnable flag to allow the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to include the Transport Type parameter in the Contact headers of 3XX responses. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not include the Transport Type parameter.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
insertPeerAddressAsTopRouteHeaderWhen enabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
SIPE inserts the IP address of the next hop in the top route header of the egress INVITE. This is required when the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
acts as a IMS BGCF proxy, and also supports SIPconnect compliance for direct inward dialing.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
lockDownPreferredCodec

Enable this flag to maintain the most preferred codec of the leg on which it is enabled even if it requires transcoding. This feature also suppresses the re-INVITE triggered on the leg (on which it is enabled from the SBC) due to a MODIFY offer received from the other leg as part of mid-call codec modification.

  • disable (default)
  • enable

This flag must be enabled in conjunction with minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll flag.

When this flag is enabled, the flag “relayDataPathModeChangeFromOtherCallLeg” must also be enabled to propagate HOLD Modify Offers (any modify offer that changes the data-path-mode).

mapCauseLocationEnable this flag to add the cause location is added to or retrieved from the SIP Reason header when mapping ISUP-to-SIP or SIP-to-ISUP signaling (you must also enable the Include Reason Header function). ISUP (and other protocols) indicate where in the network a call release was initiated from; this option enables the SIP Reason header to carry the cause location as well as the cause value. When flag is disabled, cause location mapping is off.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
mapSuspendResumeEventInPSvcInfoHeaderEnable this flag to map the suspend/resume event in the P-Svc-Info header. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not map the suspend/resume event in the P-Svc-Info header.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
mapUuiInPSigInfoHeaderEnable this flag to map the UUI parameter into the SIP P-Sig-Info header. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not map or include the UUI parameter.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
mimeCausePrecedeReasonHeaderCauseWhen enabled, the cause value is mapped from the MIME body of the incoming message based on the Q.1912 standard. When disabled, the cause value is mapped from the Reason header based on the RFC3398 standard 
  • disable (default)
  • enable
minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll

The advertised Sonus SIP SDP is described as a set of capabilities that the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
can receive. The
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
by default issues a Modify Offer ( re-INVITE, UPDATE) whenever it detects a change in receive capabilities. In certain scenarios, the Modify Offer can be perceived as redundant. Enabling this flag suppresses redundant Modify offers being sent from the
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
.

When enabled, the SBC suppresses modify offers that have no changes to the “common codecs” that impact the end-user experience. “Common codecs” are codecs that exist both in the initial offer and answer (G711U in commonIpAttributes - SIP - CLI). Changes to common codecs imply changes to DTMF, packetization time, codec specific FMTP attributes and data-path-mode.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
noContentDispositionThe Content Disposition header format in SIP messages expected by the remote peer. When enabled, the remote peer expects no Content Disposition header. When disabled, remote peer expects the standard SIP message format which includes Content Disposition header.
  • disable  (default)
  • enable
noPortNumber5060Use this parameter to control whether port number 5060 is sent to the remote peer in the Request-URI of PRACK, ACK, and BYE messages. 
When enabled, the outgoing SIP URI does not include port number 5060 (sip:user@host). In addition, 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
only sends out the Record-Route and Route headers of SIP request and response messages with the port number it receives, such that if the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not receive a port number in Record-Route headers, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not send out a port number in the Record-Route and Route headers.

When disabled, the outgoing SIP URI includes port number 5060 (sip:user@host:5060). In addition, if SBC does not receive a port number in Record-Route headers of SIP request and response messages, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
inserts port number 5060 into the outgoing Record-Route and Route headers.
  • disable (default)
  • enable 

Enable this flag to allow DNS NAPTR/SRV lookups.

noUserinfoInContactHeaderWhen this flag is enabled, the remote peer expects no userinfo component in the Contact header URI. When disabled, the remote peer expects the standard format of the Contact header, which includes the userinfo component.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
onlySelectedCodecInSessionRefreshWhen this flag is enabled, the SDP in a session keep-alive re-INVITE message will only include the currently-selected codec for the call. When disabled, the SDP in a session keep-alive re-INVITE message will be identical to that in the last offer. See example below.
  • disable (default)
  • enable

Example:

--> The SBC sends an INVITE including Codec-A and Codec-B

<-- An 18x message is received identifying Codec-B.

--> The SBC sends a keep-alive reINVITE depending upon the flag setting:

    • disable: SBC sends keep-alive reINVITE with both Codec-A and Codec-B included
    • enable: SBC sends keep-alive reINVITE including Codec-B

The o-line of the SDP will be identical to that in the last offer.

pCalledPartyIDSupportEnable flag to allow 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
acting as P-CSCF to store pCalledPartyID header when a call destined to UE is received from IMS core network.
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
 inserts P-Asserted-Identity header in the 18x/2xx responses received from UE towards core and places the stored P-Called-Party-ID information in the PAI header.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
pChgMsgInfoWhen enabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
adds a P-ChgMsg header to a SIP INFO or a 183 Session Progress (which it selects depends on the call state). The P-ChgMsg header contains the interworked ISUP CHG with TLEC information. When disabled, this function is disabled.
  • disable (default)
  • enable

publishIPInHoldSDP

Enable flag to include the SBC's IP address in the SDP  for hold.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
reQueryPsxOnRegisterRefreshWhen enabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
will re-query the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
when it receives a register refresh message, which may result in a new or updated result for the register relay. When disabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
does not re-query the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
on a register refresh. This setting must be made on the ingress trunk group profile facing the registered endpoint.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
rejectReferWhen enabled, the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
rejects SIP REFER messages from the peer and responds with a 405 Method Not Allowed message.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
replaceHostOnViaHeaderUse flag to replace IP address of the top-most via header on the outgoing request with IP address or hostname present in the top-most via header received.
  • disable (default) – SBC defaults to B2BUA behavior where the VIA header contains local SIP signaling address.
  • enable Replaces the IP address of via header on the initial outbound INVITE or REGISTER with the address received in the via header of the incoming request.
relayDataPathModeChangeFromOtherCallLeg
The relayDataPathModeChangeFromOtherCallLeg flag is only available when minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll is enabled.

When this flag is enabled in conjunction with minimizeRelayingOfMediaChangesFromOtherCallLegAll flag,the HOLD modify offers (more specifically, any modify offer that changes the data-path-mode) are propagated.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
restrictHistoryInfoHeaderEnable this flag to restrict History InfoHeader Flag depending upon the Privacy header or Privacy URI.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
routeUsingRecvdFqdnEnable flag to use the FQDN received in contact header of Refer-To/3xx for routing.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
sdpOlineOnlyComparesWhen enabled, the SBC checks only the o-line when comparing SDPs. When disabled, the SBC checks the entire SDP body when comparing SDPs.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
sendAllAllowedCodecsForLateMediaInviteOrReInvite

The sendAllAllowedCodecsForLateMediaInviteOrReInvite flag controls the handling of audio codecs that the SBC offers in response to a late media INVITE or Re-INVITE without SDP for transcoded calls.

  • When  this flag is disabled for transcoded calls (default behavior), the SBC offers the codec used for transcoding on the leg.
  • When the flag is enabled for transcoded calls, the SBC offers multiple codecs which include:
    • The subset of the codecs that the associated peer supports.
    • The transcoded codecs that the associated DSP channel supports. This includes the codec currently being used for transcoding.

For pass-through calls, the SBC always offers a subset of the codecs advertised by the associated peer. The SBC Offer codec list is classified as a subset because the list can be subjected to codec policy filters.

See SDP Support for examples of the above behavior.

Configuration options:

  • disable (default)
  • enable
sendDirectMediaInfoInSdpAttributeEnable flag to send direct media information in the SDP attribute X-DMI.
  • disable (default)

  • enable

The 'directMediaAllowed' flag must be disabled on the associated trunk group.

sendOnlyPreferredCodec  

Enable this flag on Answer side to send a single preferred codec in an Answer for an Initial Offer or Re-Invite. Enable flag on Offer side to send the most preferred codec in a re-INVITE offer. When disabled, the SBC sends all possible pass-through codecs in the route Packet Service Profile when the call is answered.

This flag is used primarily in pass-through cases where more than one pass-through codec is possible. When generating an answer, the SBC chooses the most preferred codec based on the ordered list created by Send Route Preference (SRP)/Honor Remote Preference (HRP). Note that when this flag is disabled SBC sends all possible pass-through codecs in the answer or the Route Packet Service Profile when generating a re-INVITE offer. For offers generated by the SBC, especially in HOLD/RESUME cases, only the most preferred codec is sent in a re-INVITE offer when this flag is enabled.

  • disable (default)
  • enable
sendPtimeInSdpEnable flag to allow the SBC to send a=ptime in the SDP.
  • disable (default)
  • enable
sendRtcpPortInSdpWhen enabled, 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
adds the attribute,a=rtcp:<rtcpPort> to the audio and video m lines in the outgoing SDP (Rtcp port mentioned will be SBC RTP port + 1).
  • disable (default)
  • enable
sessionTimerRefreshUpdateEnable flag to control session timer refresh method with SIP peers via UPDATE messages. When disabled, the

Call Flow Examples

Call Flow Examples for 'Disable Media Lockdown' Flag

Example1:

In the following call flow, the Modify Offers (in green) are suppressed if the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag is enabled:

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

<-

G711U

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed and the DSP channel de-allocated.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer; to suppress, the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag should be enabled

Example 2:

The messages (in green) can be suppressed if the Disable Media Lock Down field is enabled.

Ingress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

<-

G711U,G729A

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed and the DSP channel de-allocated.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer; the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag cannot suppress this Modify Offer as a common codec in the original offer and answer (G729A) has been removed; To suppress this re-INVITE, enable DML

->

G711U

 

 

 

<-

G711U

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A,G726 as transcode options by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G729A,G726

G711U

<-

Transcode G711-G729A call. Egress codec is locked down to G729A

<-

G729A,G726

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed to G729A due to transcode.
Default behavior is to send Modify Offer to lockdown to G729A; the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag cannot suppress this Modify Offer as a common codec in the original offer and answer (G726) has been removed; To suppress this re-INVITE, enable DML

->

G729A

 

 

 

<-

G729A

Example 3:

Scenario in which Disable Media Lockdown field can not suppress the media lock down messages (in green).

The codecs configured at Egress route PSP are G711U, G726, G729A with HRP disabled.

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G726,G729A as transcode options by reserving a DSP channel

->

G711U,G726,G729A

G711U

<-

Transcode G711-G726 call. Egress codec is locked down to G726

<-

G729A,G726

 

 

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed to G726 ( i.e. HRP is disabled). Since, the codec selected by SBC is different from Peer’s preferred codec (G729), though the flag DML is enabled SBC sends a Modify Offer to lockdown to G726.

Call Flow Examples for 'Minimize relaying of Media Changes From Other Call Leg All' Flag

Example1:

The re-INVITEs (in green) are suppressed if the Minimize Relaying Of Media Changes From Other Call Leg flag is enabled.

Ingress Peer

 

SBC

 

Egress Peer

G711U

->

SBC offers G711U as pass-through codec and G729A as a transcode option by reserving a DSP channel

G711U

<-

SBC releases the DSP channel resulting in a G711U pass-thru call

Receive capabilities of SBC have changed as a codec G729A was removed; send Modify Offer to Peer to advertise the latest set of capabilities

->

G711U

 

 

 

<-

G711U

Example2:

SBC suppresses a Modify Offer from the ingress peer. The offer changes the maxptime from 10 to 20ms. An increase in maxptime can be suppressed – a device that advertises a maxptime of 20ms can also receive 10ms packets.

Example3:

A change of data-path-mode from sendrecv to sendonly ( HOLD request) can also be suppressable. The rational is that SBC can always ignore the media received from the peer and continue to send it media.
