SIP Registrar | SBC can act as a SIP Registrar or a Registrant |
Any-to-Any routing | Full interoperability between SIP, and TDM based protocols |
Registrant Table entries | SBC Supports up to 1000 Registrant table entries |
Active Directory based call routing | SBC can interrogate any user field in Active Directory and make intelligent routing decisions based on the value of the Active Directory field |

SIP Support Summary
The following tables summarize compliance with the relevant SIP RFCs that the SBC Edge Portfolio products need to interoperate with any SIP based peer.
The tables below use the following definitions:
Type of support:
- Generate – it refers to the ability of the SBC to generate the applicable SIP element (method, header, function) when appropriate
- Receive – it refers to the ability of the SBC to receive and process the applicable SIP element (method, header, function) when appropriate
