Dialogic® BorderNet™ 4000 SBC Product Description Document

Policy Based Media Routing

Available policies on the BorderNet 4000 SBC can be utilized for control if the media is

routed via the BorderNet 4000 SBC or directly between the endpoints. This capability is

useful in different instances (such as preserving bandwidth over a skinny WAN link) where it

may be preferable to keep the media localized.

Quality of Service (QOS)

The BorderNet 4000 SBC supports Quality of Service (QOS) settings based on the

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model for media streams. QOS settings are configurable

per signaling/media interface by entering a Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP) during

SIP interface configuration.

The DSCP is a 6-bit pattern (shown below); the pattern is "xyzab0", where:

• "xyz" is the class: 001-class1; 010-class2; 011-class3; 100-class4

• "ab0" is the drop precedence: 01-low; 10-medium; 11-high

Differentiated Services Code Point

The BorderNet 4000 SBC marks the packet based on the operator's needs. The router

receiving the packet handles the packet based on the DiffServ value applied by the

BorderNet 4000 SBC.

Media Statistics

The BorderNet 4000 SBC collects and reports the following statistics for media on a peer

basis:

• Bytes received

• Bytes sent

• Received bit rate

• Sent bit rate

• Dropped packet count

• Bandwidth consumed by dropped packets

Supported Codecs and Methods

The BorderNet 4000 SBC supports identifying various media types registered with the IANA

(Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). The BorderNet 4000 SBC has a comprehensive

codec profile scheme and is able to recognize, filter, and sort codecs. The BorderNet 4000

SBC monitors media bandwidth and enforces bandwidth based on the profile settings; it also

monitors and restricts the media packet rates accordingly. The BorderNet 4000 SBC is
