What is an SBC? A look at the role of the Session Border ControllerAlan Percy
IP communications systems are becoming an ever-more critical part of business and consumer communications. As a result, they are increasingly becoming the target for fraudsters, trolls and hackers, requiring a comprehensive security solution. These are the reasons behind the birth of the Session Border Controller. But there is much more to SBCs than security.
In this presentation, we get "back to basics" and show the threats and underlying role that an SBC plays in modern IP communications solutions. During this session, you'll learn about B2BUA, NAT, DOS/DDOS attacks, registration floods, topology hiding and more...
This is a depiction on Legacy Telecom technologies and landscape. It describes the outdated approach in Telecom network and their new updates technology versions for IP based Telecom networks .

Over the past 10 years the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has moved from the toy of researchers and academics to the de-facto standard for telephony and multimedia services in mobile and fixed networks.
Probably one of the most emotionally fraught discussions in the context of SIP was whether Session Border Controllers (SBC) are good or evil.
SIP was designed with the vision of revolutionizing the way communication services are developed, deployed and operated. Following the end-to-end spirit of the Internet SIP was supposed to turn down the walled gardens of PSTN networks and free communication services from the grip of large telecom operators. By moving the intelligence to the end systems, developers were supposed to be able to develop new communication services that will innovate the way we communicate with each other.
This was to be achieved without having to wait for the approval of the various telecommunication standardization groups such as ETSI or the support of incumbent telecoms.
Session border controllers are usually implemented as SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUA) that are placed between a SIP user agent and a SIP proxy. The SBC then acts as the contact point for both the user agents and the proxy. Thereby the SBC actually breaks the end-to-end behavior of SIP, which has led various people to deem the SBC as an evil incarnation of the old telecom way of thinking. Regardless of this opposition, SBCs have become a central part of any SIP deployment.
In this paper we will first give a brief overview of how SIP works and continue with a description of what SBCs do and the different use cases for deploying SBCs.

Robocall Mitigation with YouMail and ProSBCAlan Percy
In January of 2021, over 4 billion robocalls were placed, many were part of an international scam and designed to ensnare unwitting victims. Illegal robocalling continues to be the #1 consumer complaint to the FCC. To address this, the FCC has issued numerous orders, designed to stamp out illegal robocalling and protect US consumers from fraud and other various scams. One of these orders requires development of a robocall mitigation program at the originating service provider.
In this session, we are joined by Mike Rudolph, the CTO of YouMail, to learn about their AI-powered robocall sensor network, and show how service providers and enterprises can use YouMail along with ProSBC to quickly implement a highly-effective robocall mitigation program.

Service-Level Objective for Serverless Applicationsalekn
Deploying commercial applications that meet their expected business needs is challenging due to the differences between how business goals are specified and how the system is evaluated. Furthermore, business goals are dynamic, requiring deployment to change constantly over time. Such difficulties make it costly to maintain application quality as the underlying infrastructure is not always fast enough to keep up with business changes. Nowadays, serverless opens a new approach to build application. By abstracting out the deployment details, serverless application can be implemented with minimum deployment efforts. Serverless also reduces maintenance cost with auto-scaling and pay-as-you-go. Such abilities make us believe that by adopting serverless, we can build application that can meet and quickly adapt to business goals.
However, simply writing applications with serverless is not sufficient. Due to best-effort invocation mechanisms and the lack of application structure awareness, serverless performance is highly variable and often fails to support applications with rigorous quality of service requirements. In this study, we aim to mitigate such limitations by coupling serverless deployment with business needs. In particular, we define an Serverless Service-Level Objective (SLO) interface that allows developers to describe their application structure and business goals in terms of software-level objectives. We implement an SLO enforcer, which uses this information in combination with the system performance metrics to decide a proper serverless deployment and resource allocation for meeting business goals. The Serverless SLO leverages blueprint model, which allow developers to describe applications' architecture and runtime characteristics needs, to map application description to serverless function deployment on the top of Knative. We deploy our proposed system on KinD, a tool to run Kubernetes cluster over our local Docker container, and evaluate it with different system configurations. Evaluation results showed that SLO definition and enforcement helps serverless application use resources in accordance with business goals.

5. VOIP Access / Service Enablement – The ADC Need
• The peering, trunking, and consumer access points are
governed by SBC-s, P/I-CSCF-s, Soft Switches and media
gateways, all of which have limited scaling
– New calls per second < 100
– Concurrent sessions < 10,000
• Main Scaling Challenges
– Application state synchronization for billing and policing
– Failures and performance bottlenecks
– Provisioning OPEX and ineffective over subscription
Slide 5
6. Deployment Scenarios – Application/Service Tier
• SIP applications include
– Traditional VoIP
– Conferencing / Video Conferencing
– Voicemail / IVR
– Presence
– Messaging
– Call Centers
– Interactive E-learning
– And many more…
• Additional Scaling Challenges:
– Concurrent streaming sessions
– Bandwidth and processing requirements for new Codecs and Video
standards
– Sophisticated application logic and call flows

7. Application / Service Tier – The ADC Need
The overall scale challenge:
• Scale-as-you-Grow
• protecting previous investment and guaranteeing service
quality
Slide 7
9. TDM-like scaling
• “TDM over IP” Architecture
– Scaling in the traditional TDM architecture was normally
achieved by statically configuring sets of clients to a specific
server
– Complex Static Provisioning
– Inefficient Over-Subscription models
• Inefficient and not agile
Slide 9
10. IP Scaling Advantages vs. TDM
• IP Architecture – Dynamic Load Balancing
– The same utilization advantages afforded by the flexibility of IP
packets switching (vs., circuit switching) can be incorporated
into the scaling model
– Servers are all configured identically and clustered into a pool,
abstracted as a service available to all clients
• New servers are added dynamically on-demand
• Scaling is linear and isolated from the provisioning process
– Servers may have different capabilities
• Server selection identifies the required service for each
transaction for optimal server selection
• Huge cost saving – up to 50% over the TDM-like model
Slide 10
11. Load Balancing Concepts – Cluster Management
• Load Distribution
– New client sessions or messages are distributed by the ADC amongst
cluster service through a selection of distribution algorithm:
• Weighted round robin – Short transactions (messaging / presence / DNS)
• Least number of users / calls – Video transactions
• Lowest CPU utilization – Complex application transaction
• Transaction based switching
– The ADC inspects the message content to apply the distribution across
multiple server pools according to:
• Codec type
• Device User-Agent
• Content URI

12. Load Balancing Concepts – Cluster Distribution
• Persistent transactions
– Some applications require that the same server will handle multiple sessions
that form a transaction
• Multiple callers for a Video conferencing service
• User’s registration and incoming/outgoing transactions
• User’s portal access and media transactions
– Persistency Types include
• Call-ID
• Call-ID + Conference-ID
• User ID
• Source IP
• Any L7 Parameter
