Microsoft describes the Direct Routing OPTIONS exchange in this order: the SBC opens TLS to the SIP proxy FQDN, the SBC sends OPTIONS, the proxy identifies the SBC FQDN and answers 200 OK on the same TLS connection, the proxy sends OPTIONS to the Contact FQDN, the SBC answers 200 OK, and the SBC is marked Active in the Teams admin center.
