CHAPTER19 Coders and Profiles
Mediant 800 Gateway & E-SBC | User's Manual
Parameter Description
'Keep Incoming Via Headers'
sbc-keep-via-headers
[IpProfile_
SBCKeepVIAHeaders]
Enables interworking SIP Via headers between SIP
entities. The parameter defines the device's handling of Via
headers for messages sent to the SIP entity associated
with the IP Profile.
■ [-1] According to Operation Mode = Depends on the
setting of the 'Operation Mode' parameter in the IP
Groups table or SRDs table:
✔ B2BUA: Device operates as if the parameter is set
to Disable [0].
✔ Call State-full Proxy: Device operates as if the
parameter is set to Enable [1].
■ [0] Disable = Device removes all Via headers received
in the incoming SIP request from the other leg and adds
a Via header identifying only itself, in the outgoing
message sent to the SIP entity.
■ [1] Enable = Device retains the Via headers received in
the incoming SIP request and adds itself as the top-
most listed Via header in the outgoing message sent to
the SIP entity.
'Keep Incoming Routing
Headers'
sbc-keep-routing-
headers
[IpProfile_
SBCKeepRoutingHeaders]
Enables interworking SIP Record-Route headers between
SIP entities. The parameter defines the device's handling
of Record-Route headers for request/response messages
sent to the the SIP entity associated with the IP Profile.
■ [-1] According to Operation Mode = (Default)
Depends on the setting of the 'Operation Mode' in the
IP Group or SRDs table:
✔ B2BUA: Device operates as if the parameter is set
to Disable [0].
✔ Call State-full Proxy: Device operates as if the
parameter is set to Enable [1].
■ [0] Disable = Device removes the Record-Route
headers received in requests and responses from the
other side, in the outgoing SIP message sent to the SIP
entity. The device creates a route set for that side of the
dialog based on these headers, but doesn't send them
to the SIP entity.
■ [1] Enable = Device retains the incoming Record-
Route headers received in requests and non-failure
responses from the other side, in the following
scenarios:
✔ The message is part of a SIP dialog-setup
transaction.
✔ The messages in the setup and previous
transaction didn't include the Record-Route
header, and therefore hadn't set the route set.
Note: Record-Routes are kept only for SIP INVITE,
UPDATE, SUBSCRIBE and REFER messages.
