Overview Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, instant messaging, multimedia conferencing, and interactive gaming are just some of the real-time, IP-based applications enjoying rapid growth in today's competitive communications market. Service providers are now finding it efficient and economical to directly interconnect their IP networks to both customer and other service provider IP networks. This trend has created a requirement for Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to help service providers control and manage real-time multimedia communications sessions at the borders between their IP networks. This paper explores the various ways service providers are deploying SBC capabilities in their networks, and discusses the Cisco portfolio of network components with integrated SBC functions.
