Frequently Asked Questions
What is a session border controller and why do I need one?
A session border controller (SBC) is a network security and management device that controls the signaling and media streams for voice, video, and data communications. The Ribbon SBC 5400 protects your network by normalizing protocols, enforcing policies, managing overload conditions, and enabling secure interoperability between different network domains and technologies.
How many concurrent calls can the SBC 5400 handle?
This RTU-licensed configuration supports 500 concurrent sessions, making it suitable for mid-to-large enterprise deployments and service provider environments requiring reliable, scalable session management.
Does the Ribbon SBC 5400 support IPv6 networks?
Yes. The SBC 5400 includes native IPv4-IPv6 interworking capabilities, enabling seamless communication between legacy IPv4 networks and modern IPv6 infrastructure without requiring separate gateways.
What makes the dual 10GB configuration beneficial?
The dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide redundancy, load balancing, and high-throughput capacity for mission-critical communications environments, ensuring business continuity and optimal performance under peak traffic conditions.
