Session Border Controller (SBC) has gradually become a standard configuration product for NGN and IMS networks (such as Lanswitch and routers). Also widely known as BAC (Border Access Controller), located in the ABG (access border gateway) of IMS networks, it solves problems encountered in NGN business deployment such as NAT/FW traversal, security, interoperability, QoS (Quality of Service), and so on. Session Edge Controller (SBC, or Session Controller) is a VoIP call control product used in environments where calls are entirely transmitted via VoIP without the need for a gateway. It uses all three VoIP protocols - H.2623 Gatekeeper, SIP Proxy, and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP). It will play an important role in the future provision of VoIP services, allowing for crossing multiple IP networks and providing quality assured VoIP services even if there are firewalls to traverse.
