Frequently Asked Questions
What is a session border controller and why do enterprises need one?
A session border controller (SBC) is a network security and management device that sits at the edge of your network to control and manage multimedia communications traffic. Enterprises need an SBC like the Ribbon 7000 to protect against threats, manage SIP traffic efficiently, ensure quality of service, and enable secure communication between internal networks and external service providers.
How does the Ribbon SBC 7000 handle high-capacity multimedia SIP traffic?
The SBC 7000 is purpose-built for high-capacity environments with industry-leading performance architecture. It processes large volumes of multimedia SIP traffic through sophisticated routing algorithms, advanced policy engines, and overload controls that maintain network stability even during peak usage periods.
Does the SBC 7000 support both IPv4 and IPv6?
Yes, the Ribbon SBC 7000 includes native IPv4-IPv6 interworking capabilities, allowing seamless communication between legacy IPv4 networks and modern IPv6 infrastructure. This enables organizations to transition protocols gradually without disrupting existing communications.
What makes the modular chassis design beneficial for growing networks?
The fully modular chassis design allows rapid scaling as your organization grows. You can add capacity incrementally without replacing the entire system, reducing capital expenditure and enabling future-ready network architecture that adapts to evolving multimedia communications demands.
