Mission
Enable network service providers to deliver premium, interactive communications - voice, video and multimedia sessions - across IP network borders.
Product category
Session border control is a new category of network equipment that provides critical control functions to enable high quality interactive communications – voice, video and multimedia sessions – across IP network borders. A "session" is any real-time, interactive voice, video or multimedia communication using IP session-layer signaling protocols such as SIP, H.323, MGCP or Megaco/H.248. The "border" is any IP-IP network border such as those between service provider and customer/subscriber, or between two service providers. The "control" functions satisfy new requirements in five major areas - security, service reach maximization, SLA assurance, revenue & profit protection and regulatory compliance.

Net-Net OS
Acme Packet Net-Net OS is our session border control software platform. It offers the richest border control functionality in terms of architectural flexibility, signaling protocol breadth, feature depth and carrier-class availability and manageability. It operates on both the Net-Net 4000 and 9000 series session border controllers.
- SBC architectural flexibility – integrated SBC with signaling & media control, distributed SBC with media control only and/or signaling control, access SBC with or without P-CSCF, interconnect SBC
- Multi-protocol – SIP, H.323, MGCP/NCS, H.248; SIP-H.323 & H.323 interworking; SIP & H.323 load balancing & routing; H.248 distributed SBC control
- Security – Net-SAFE framework includes SBC DoS protection, access control, topology hiding & privacy, VPN separation, service infrastructure DoS prevention, fraud prevention
- Service reach maximization - NAT traversal, OLIP/VPN bridging, protocol interworking, transcoding, address & response code translations
- SLA assurance – admission control – session agent constraints, bandwidth, policy server, QoS-based; QoS marking/mapping; QoS reporting
- Revenue & profit protection – bandwidth policing, QoS theft protection, accounting, session timers, routing & load balancing
- Regulatory compliance – Emergency services (E9-1-1) & lawful intercept for call data & content (CALEA)
- High availability – check-pointing of media, signaling & configuration state ensures no loss of active calls, or call state required for NAT traversal, session handling (transfer/hold, etc. ) or accounting
- Management – EMS, CLI, telnet, FTP, XML, RADIUS, SNMP, syslog
