Dialogic® BorderNet™ 4000 SBC Product Description Document
47
The BorderNet 4000 SBC automatically generates the following reports:
• Ethernet link statistics
• Traffic statistics, including incoming and outgoing data on:
o Answer to Seizure Ratio (ASR)
o SIP and H.323 peers
o SIP and H.323 interfaces
• Security statistics on packets, including the number of packets dropped because of
overload, black-list, unaccepted ACL, no flow, or malformed packets
Tracing
The BorderNet 4000 SBC includes a customized plug-in that works with the Wireshark®
trace tool. This customized tool captures, stores, and analyzes all SIP messages and IP
traffic and provides tracing output in a *.pcap file. The BorderNet 4000 SBC supports two
types of tracing: IP level tracing and session level tracing.
IP Level Tracing
IP level tracing captures IP traffic on Ethernet links. It supports multiple IP layer filters on
parameters such as source/destination IP, protocol, and source/destination port.
Recording Profiles
Interface level tracing has four recording profiles:
1. Signaling with media
2. Signaling without media (except UDP ports greater than 5100)
3. Media drops (RTP packets dropped because of excessive rate, over-utilizing
bandwidth, and so forth)
4. Flow drops (advanced rate limit packet drops)
Session Level Tracing
SIP session level tracing captures SIP messages at various stages of call processing. It
supports multiple SIP layer filters on header parameters such as From, Contact, To, and Via.
