IMG 1010 - SIP Profile - 10.5.3

DG_SIP_m-line.pngImage Added

 

Examples:

Below are examples of how IMG would react to SIP offers with different types of Media Descriptors. (Ex: Audio, Video, Fax). See Additional Information below explaining how the IMG selects which Media Descriptor.

Info

The IMG will NOT select the best matching media stream, it will match on the first media stream (m-line) from a valid Offer which has multiple media streams. Matching the first Media Stream assumes the media streams are sorted by preference and the first being the highest preference.

 

Info

In both examples below, the Codec Priority setting will have no effect on the IMG behavior to accept the first matching media stream in the offer. Codec Priority setting will only affect the IMG method used to select media formats for answer after having selected a media stream.

 

Audio:

  • A SIP INVITE comes into IMG with an Offer indicating that there are two audio streams. The IMG parses the message and sends back an answer with both the accepted and rejected audio stream. In this example, the m-line with payload type of 0 is accepted and m-line with the payload type 8 is rejected. Note that the rejected m-line has a port value of 0. The rejected m-line is sent back in a response to the Offer even though it was rejected.

m=audio 0 RTP/AVP 8

  • A SIP INVITE comes into IMG with an Offer indicating that there are three audio streams. The IMG parses the message and rejects the first m-line because of the Codec. It accepts the second m-line even though the second and third m-line are acceptable. The IMG accepts the FIRST ACCEPTABLE m-line.

Additional Information:

  • The IMG by default will accept all offers with multiple valid m-lines.

  • IMG supports a minimum of 1 m-line and a Maximum of 4 m-lines. A 488 Not Acceptable Here will be sent if less than 1 or more than 4 m-lines are sent. The only exception to this is in a PRACK scenario.

  • The answer will contain the same number of m-lines as was in the Offer.

  • The IMG will accept the first matching media stream from an offer with multiple m-lines except when offer has a media stream of fax.

  • IMG supports fax only in RE-INVITE scenarios. If Offer contains m=image, it will be rejected.

  • When IMG rejects a Media stream, it will set the port number to 0 in the answer and will include the media formats.

  • The IMG cannot generate an offer with multiple m-line.

  • IMG will reject the session with a 488 Not Acceptable Here if none of the media streams is accepted.

  • IMG Shall log all codec information and media types across all m-lines in the Radius VSA. Support for m=video is added but not supported as of Software release 10.5.2. The remote m-line parameters will be logged as follows:

    • dialogic-voip-remote-vocoders ="PCMU,PCMA,Video"
