Source notes citing this source

• For security, AudioCodes recommends classifying SIP dialogs by Proxy Set only when the IP Group's address is unknown, meaning its Proxy Set is configured with an FQDN. in context
• On a Mediant SBC, an IP Group represents a SIP entity the device communicates with, either a server such as an IP PBX or ITSP, or a group of users such as LAN IP phones. in context
• Each IP Group can be assigned an Inbound Message Manipulation Set and an Outbound Message Manipulation Set, applied to SIP messages on the respective call leg. in context
• Mediant Software SBC supports up to 5,000 IP Groups on Mediant SE and on VE/CE with 32 to 64 GB RAM, and up to 1,500 IP Groups on lower-RAM VE/CE instances. in context
• The Media Realm assigned to an IP Group determines the UDP port range and maximum number of media sessions on a specific IP interface for that IP Group's media. in context
• For a Server-type IP Group, INVITE messages destined to the IP Group are sent to the address configured in the Proxy Set associated with that IP Group. in context
• Mediant IP Groups have three types: Server (address known, usually through a Proxy Set), User (location learned from REGISTER), and Gateway (SBC only; address taken from the Contact header of the gateway's REGISTER). in context
• When the IP Group's 'Proxy Keep-Alive using IP Group settings' option is enabled, the IP Group's Outbound Manipulation Set is also applied to the proxy keep-alive SIP OPTIONS messages. in context
• The IP Group 'SIP Group Name' parameter provides topology hiding by overwriting the host part of the URI in certain SIP headers for both source and destination IP Groups. in context
• AudioCodes documents Mediant VE (Virtual Edition), Mediant CE (Cloud Edition) and Mediant SE (Server Edition) together in one 'Mediant Software SBC' User's Manual, version 7.6. in context
