Open source SBC Solutions?

Jonathon, I am not sure your exact needs re capacity, but we do have a very low cost SBC software only SBC. When we acquired Covergence we picked up a full feature SBC which will do all of your needs out of the box (or off the shelf - so to speak). This is a software only feature and is called the NNOSE. Acme packet does not sell this software directly and it can only be purchased through our channels of distribution. It starts at about $3K for a minimum configuration for about 25 sessions. Its maximum capacity is 500 sessions and you can upgrade in blocks of 10 (maybe it's 25)? Anyhow, it is a known product which requires little to no work to make work. >From your list of needs below, it would appear that the opensource stuff won't fit your bill. Anyhow, I am happy to assist if I can. Good luck.

It doesn't perform exactly the same role as an SBC, but often can provide a base set for functionality like transcoding, CDR centralization, or topology disguise.

Fwd: Open source SBC Solutions?

Take a look at FreeSwitch, it can provide a bunch of what you need, and others are using it as an SBC also. Here is what need: > - Voice and video support > - Proxy > - B2BUA > - NAT Traversal > - SIP > - CDR > Does ALL of these.... > These things would be nice: > - H.323 support > yup, mod_opal > - Transcoding > yup, you may need to purchase some codecs ( from 3rd parties ) > - Simplified Management > guess this is subjective.. but little in the way of GUI's for it. config files are easy though What is not needed: > - Auto Attendant - Conferencing > Has VERY Good conferencing for what its worth > - Stateful fail-over > yea it dosnt have this, which id love personally. Id seriously suggest you look at FreeSwitch its got a great community, and its very well designed. out of the box the default config is more PBX like, but Freeswitch is a platform for you to build upon. you just need to learn to configure it how you want. Feel free to email me any QN's -- Sincerely Jay

Does anyone have a recommendation for a SBC solution based on open source software? I am looking to implement a small SBC, and there isn't much of a budget. If anyone has any specific experience one way or the other with the available solutions I would like to get your feedback. Thanks! -Jonathan

Anyone can comment how Microsoft OCS handles nomadic emergency calling and in two situations: - when a enterpise user moves to a different office say in a different city still on-net and - when travelling on the road in a hotel calling from a laptop softclient. Thanks, -guy

Acme STUN
by TParkin＠nuvox.com Sept. 29, 2009

Sept. 29, 2009

Has anybody used the STUN functionality of the Acme SD? I posed the following questions to our SE and engineer, but if anybody has actual experience with it I'd be curious to know how it works. -Does it work? J -Re: performance, is STUN less costly than a very short registration refresh rate (<30 seconds)? Some impact on performance of a fully loaded SD 4000 would be appreciated. -Is it a better solution than their hosted NAT traversal?

Offtopic (SBC recommendations)
by sil＠infiltrated.net Sept. 23, 2009

Hey all, (I'm sure for those who I criss-cross lists with - you've seen it before)... We're definitely looking to replace our outgoing Nutrakes (pre-audiocodes assimilation) and we've been looking at a few. While I will say I'm impressed with Acme and Covergence (which is now Acme anyway), anyone care to either off or on list comment about others you've had success with. Any particular one with perhaps a pre-paid system/spinoff/module/compartment/* (don't ask) is a plus. Keep in mind, the less interops (big 4, VZ, GLBX, L3, AT&T) we can do, the better! (hooray for less work on the plates). So far, as stated, I personally liked Covergence's offering as have I Acme, haven't looked at Sonus yet, but was wondering what else are we (myself and colleagues) missing. Newport Networks is pretty much gone the puppets.com, socks.com, VirtualAvenue, Xoom route of the dinosaur. So without further a rambling...

Cisco Gateways, REFER and TBCT/ECT
by jnesheim＠cytek.biz Sept. 19, 2009

Sept. 19, 2009

Cisco gateways do support TBCT in when the ISDN PRI is configured in user mode. This requires TBCT support on the network switch you're connecting it to. You'll also need to enable the TBCT supplementary service feature on the Serial interface in the router. For example: lab-cisco1(config)#int ser0/0/1:23 lab-cisco1(config-if)#isdn supp-service tbct ? notify-on-clear subscribed to get notification on transfered call clear tbct-with-crflg tbct req with cr flg <cr> When the router receives a REFER on the SIP side for an existing call it will initiate a TBCT remote operation on the PRI to the switch. If the switch supports it, the call will be transferred. -- Jason Nesheim ----- Original Message ----- From: "RJ Auburn" <rj at voxeo.com> To: voiceops at voiceops.org Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 5:46:25 PM Subject: [VoiceOps] Cisco Gateways, REFER and TBCT/ECT Folks, Has anyone had any luck getting the Cisco VoIP gateways to do a TBCT or ECT when they receive a REFER message for a SIP call? In theory there is a way to do this in TCL script but I have never been able to get anyone at Cisco who knew how to actually configure it or make it work. For what it's worth AudioCodes supports this out the box in an extremely painless manner. As close to plug and play as you can get in TDM land. Hopefully someone out here on this list has gotten it working on a Cisco and can lend a hand.
