5、. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Rev

6、iew, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their re

7、solution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The

8、 American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American Natio

9、nal Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards In

10、stitute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.

22、ity of Provisional Responses in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). 4 DEFINITIONS Border B2BUA: A border back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) is a SIP B2BUA that performs IP network border functions in its reformulation of SIP messages. These functions include NAT/NAPT editing of IP address, port numb

23、er of the call/session, and application content of SIP messages. They may also include media relay resource assignments with corresponding execution of control functions that establish NAPT building in the media relay. CAC (Connection/Call Admission Control): CAC is the set of actions taken by a net

24、work during the call/session set-up phase in order to determine whether a connection request should be accepted or rejected. DoS (Denial of Service): DoS is the prevention of authorized access to resources or the delaying of time-critical operations, or the result of any action or series of actions

25、that prevents any part of an information system (IS) from functioning. Firewall: A system designed to protect a network from unauthorized access. NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of converting one IP address space to another IP address space. It is primarily used to interface the i

26、nternal (private) IP address space of a network with the global (public) address space of the Internet. NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) is a method of converting one IP address space and port number to another IP address space and port number. It is primarily used to interface the

27、internal (private) IP address space/port number of a network with the global (public) address space/port number of the internet. NNI (Network to Network Interface): NNI is the border interconnection between two carriers. UNI (User to Network Interface): UNI isthe border interconnection between the c

28、arrier and its customers. Session Border Controller (SBC) Functions: SBC functions is a set of functions that enables interactive communication across the borders or boundaries of disparate IP networks. It provides calls/sessions of real-time IP voice, video and other data across borders between IP

29、networks and provides control over security, quality of service, service level agreements and other functions using IP signaling protocols. SIP B2BUA: A SIP back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) is a concatenation of a SIP User Agent Client (UAC) and User Agent Server (UAS). The IETF defines the B2BUA in

30、RFC 3261 as “a logical entity that receives a request and processes it as a user agent server (UAS). In order to determine how the request should be answered, it acts as a user client (UAC) and generates requests. Unlike a proxy server, it maintains dialog state and must participate in all requests

31、sent on the dialogs it has established. Since it is a concatenation of a UAC and UAS, no explicit definitions are needed for its behavior”. (UAC and UAS behavior is defined in RFC 3261.) A B2BUA reformulates messages before sending them as new requests. ATIS-1000026.2008 5 Transcoding: Transcoding r

32、efers to the conversion of a data stream from one format to another. Examples include conversion from one codec standard (e.g., G.711, G.729) to another, or from one video compression standard (e.g., MPEG-1, H.264) to another. 5 ABBREVIATIONS This document uses the following abbreviations: AAA Authe

39、SIP/SDP). These CDRs can be used to manage the network and for SLA auditing. IPv4/IPv6 Interworking: The SBC shall perform IPv4/IPv6 IP address translation. The IPv6 network is responsible for performing the address translation. Transcoding: The SBC shall support transcoding. Encryption: The SBC sha

40、ll support encryption. Security Control: The SBC shall enforce security policy for call/session control signaling across UNIs and NNIs. 8.1 Requirements related to the Media Path Access Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: The SBC shall support access admission control and resource pol

41、icy enforcement for directly connected links, and optionally for networks that are not directly connected. ATIS-1000026.2008 14 Access Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: The SBC shall support bandwidth allocation based on access admission control and resource policy enforcement. Acce

42、ss Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: The SBC shall support Call Admission Control (CAC) functions and Session Admission Control (SAC) functions based on either bandwidth restriction and/or on maximum number of simultaneous calls/sessions restrictions and on either an interface or lo

43、gical group basis. o The SBC shall monitor the total rate of all incoming requests, from and to any endpoint. o Each SBC shall be configured with a maximum permissible rate and it shall reject additional requests that would cause it to exceed the rate limit, thereby preventing network congestion and

44、 DoS and DDoS attacks. o The SBC shall support configuration of rate limit of VoIP signaling messages (e.g., Notify messages), either per call/session/port/subscriber/group of subscriber/network/customer VPN or a global limit. o The SBC shall support configuration of rate limit per message type, eit

45、her per call/session/port/subscriber/group of subscriber/network/customer VPN or a global limit. o The SBC shall support configuration with maximum concurrent call/session limit to prevent total network resource use from exceeding the maximum capacity, and to prevent subscribers from exceeding their

46、 SLAs. The limit can be based on per call/session/port/subscriber/group of subscriber/network/customer VPN or a global limit. Access Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: The SBC shall monitor bandwidth usage and availability and inform the Call/Session Admission Control (C/SAC) functio

47、n. Access Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: At minimum, the SBC shall support access control based on IP address of the incoming packet. In addition, resource policy enforcement may be applied. Access Admission Control and Resource Policy Enforcement: The SBC shall always permit eme

48、rgency service calls/sessions to terminate. Topology Hiding: The SBC shall support topology hiding, performing NAT/NAPT function by rewriting the source/destination IP addresses in the case of NAT and as well as source/destination port numbers in the case of NAPT. Firewall: The SBC shall support the

49、 opening and closing of pinholes for media streams based on instructions from call/session control firewall function. Firewall: The SBC will support identification and call admission control of a target IP flow. The IP flow is identified by “5-tuples”, e.g., source/destination IP addresses, source/destination port number and protocol identifier. The corresponding pinhole is then opened to allow the pass through of the IP flow. ATIS-1000026.2008 15 Protection Against DoS
