Media Quality Scoring

Quality for media received by Ingate is measured and reported in the CDR ticket over RADIUS.

Internet

Reported in CDR via RADIUS

Two-way media

7

Media Quality Scoring

The following information are computed (separate for each direction)

packets sent bytes sent jitter number of missing packets maximum number of consecutive missing packets. (estimated MOS value will be available in June -09)

Key benefit: Real time reporting and monitoring of voice quality Enables preemptive actions to increase voice

quality Creates a record of all calls with quality information Makes it easier to determine where quality issues

occur

8

WAN SIParator in front of existing firewall

Key Benefits

The SIParator can enforce Traffic shaping on the WAN link to prioritize VoIP traffic over Data for optimal voice quality

Connected directly to the LAN or via the firewall DMZ.

No configuration changes to the existing firewall

All data traffic are routed untouched to the existing firewall

Same SIP functionality as for all other SIParator configurations

WAN SIParator QoS Features(requires the Ingate QoS module)

• Call Admission Control Reject new calls when all available bandwidth is used

• Modification of TOS (Type of Service) bits

• Traffic prioritization Reserve bandwidth available for VoIP Prioritization of data traffic based on Service and TOS value Works for both inbound and outbound traffic

SIP and Media

Available for Data

Emergency calls

Configurable for each interface and direction

Dynamic, free bandwidth configured for SIP are used for Data when available

Separate category for emergency calls

11

Multiple Internet connections

Key Benefits

Allows usage of a dedicated IP connection for VoIP only

The dedicated VoIP connection can handle all or a subset of the SIP traffic.

Remote users can use the ordinary Data connection to access the IP-PBX system

Multiple Internet Connectionsexample: different VLANs

Converged network

VoIP/IMSData

Service Provider

Quality separated pipes from the same provider (e.g delivered on different VLAN)

IP-PBX

Both pipes can be uses for SIP allowing remote users to connect to the enterprise VoIP system via the Internet

Key Benefits

Enforce Ingate Remote SIP Connectivity for all remote phones regardless of the NAT they are behind

Solves issues with many “SIP capable” home and hotel routers with rudimentary SIP support

15

Multiple IP addresses for SIP signaling

LAN

IP PBX

Remote User VoIP Service Provider

Key Benefits

Ingate can use different IP addresses internally when communicating with the IP PBX.

Solves issues for some IP PBXes not accepting SIP Trunks and Remote Users from the same source IP (e.g. Asterisk, Nortel SCS and 3Com VCX)

One or two IP addresses are used on the external side of the Ingate

16

Configurable Display Name and P-Asserted-Identity on Accounts

Key Benefits

Allows configurable Display Name and P-Asserted-Identity per SIP Account used for SIP Trunking

Increase interoperability

17

Handling of INVITE without offer

Key Benefits

Allows combinations of IP-PBXes and ITSP to interact that otherwise wouldn’t.

IP-PBX Ingate ITSP1: | |<---INV:A,B---|2: |<----INV:B-----| |3: |-----200:B---->| |4: | |----200:B---->|5: |-----re-I:---->| |6: | |----re-I:B--->|7: | |<---200:B-----|8: |<----200:B-----| |9: |-----ACK:B---->| |10: | |----ACK------>|

The Ingate B2BUA handles INVITEs and re-INVITEs without SDP and adds SDP where SDP-less INVITEs are unsupported.

18

User Database and SIP Trunk accounts separated

Key Benefits

Enables usage for user authentication via RADIUS and SIP Trunking accounts concurrently.

More intuitive and user friendly.

19

Other improvements

• Proxy ARP (applicable for the Firewall only)

• Reduced number of port changes for media

• User Routing for those authenticated via RADIUS

• Additional configuration parameters for IPSec VPN
