Protocol scrubber

Last Updated : Apr 30, 2023 |

Protocol Scrubbing utilizes a statistical mechanism to check incoming SIP signaling messages for protocol-specific events and anomalies.

Protocol scrubbing verifies message attributes against customizable templates obtained from Avaya, such as proper message formatting, message sequence, field length, and content.
  • The protocol scrubber templates dictate the security rules and drop the messages that violate them.

  • The protocol scrubber either rewrites, truncates, rejects, or drops messages that violate syntax rules. The processing rules imposed by the templates determine how the messages are repaired.

Note:

Avaya prepares the Protocol Scrubbing rule templates. Users can make minimal edits to these templates.

With the Protocol Scrubbing feature for SIP, you can do the following:

  • Install a scrubber rules package.

  • Enable or disable the scrubber rules defined in the package.

  • Delete the package from the EMS server.

  • View a list of all installed scrubber rules.
