With Session Policies, you can define RTP media packet parameters such as codec types (both audio and video) and codec matching priority. These media-related parameters define a strict profile that is associated with other SIP-specific policies. These parameters determine how the Avaya SBC security product handles media packets matching these criteria.

Avaya SBC uses session policies for:

• Media anchoring

• Media forking

• Converged conferencing (not available in this release)

• SIPREC recording servers and profiles

• Media servers and routing profiles

You must use the session policy to configure these features and then configure the session policy in the session flows. Session flow selection depends on the packet parameters such as From and To URI, and source and destination subnets.
