Abstract:
In many SIP deployments, SIP entities exist in the SIP signaling path
between the originating UAC and final terminating UAS, which go
beyond the definition of a Proxy, performing functions not defined in
standards-track RFCs. The only term for such devices provided in
[RFC3261] is for a Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA), which is defined
as the logical concatenation of a User Agent Server (UAS) and User
Agent Client (UAC).
There are numerous types of SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs),
performing different roles in different ways. For Example IP-PBXs,
SBCs and Application Servers. This document identifies several
common B2BUA roles, in order to provide taxonomy other documents can
use and reference.
