8.4.1.4  SIP Normalization 
The device supports SIP normalization, whereby the SBC application can overcome 
interoperability problems between SIP user agents. This is achieved by the following: 
  Manipulation of SIP URI user and host parts 
  Connection to ITSP SIP trunks on behalf of an IP-PBX - the device can register and 
utilize user and password to authenticate for the IP-PBX 
 
8.4.1.5  Survivability 
The device's SBC application provides two survivability features: 
  Routing calls to alternative routes such as the PSTN 
  Routing calls between user agents in the local network using a dynamic database 
(built according to registrations of SIP user agents) 
For an example of configuring SBC survivability, see ''Survivability and Alternative Routing'' 
on page 556. 
 
8.4.2  SIP Network Definitions 
The device's SBC application can implement multiple SIP signaling and RTP (media) 
interfaces. For a detailed description, see ''Multiple SIP Signaling/Media Interfaces 
Environment'' on page 405. 
 
8.4.3  SIP Dialog Initiation Process 
The device's SIP dialog initiation process concerns all incoming SIP dialog initiation 
requests. This includes SIP methods such as INVITE, SUBSCRIBE, OPTIONS, REFER, 
INFO, UNSOLICITED NOTIFY, MESSAGE, and REGISTER. 
The SIP dialog initiation process consists of the following stages: 
  Determining Source and Destination URL (see ''Determining Source and Destination 
URL'' on page 483) 
  Cla
ssifying Source IP Group (see ''Source IP Group Classification'' on page 484) 
  IP-to-IP Routi
ng (see ''SBC IP-to-IP Routing'' on page 485) 
  Manipul
ating IP-to-IP Inbound and Outbound SIP dialogs (see ''IP-to-IP Inbound and 
Outbound Manipulation'' on page 486) 
For a 
description of the Registration process, see ''User Registration and Internal 
Database'' on page 490.
