Headers affected by Topology Hiding

Last Updated : Aug 05, 2015 |

When creating or editing Topology Hiding Profiles, eight types of headers are available for selection:

  • Request-Line

  • From

  • To

  • Record-Route

  • Via

  • SDP

  • Refer-To

  • Referred-By

Note:

Some other headers are also affected when you select the To or From headers.

Topology Hiding Headers lists these headers along with the other affected headers under the Source Headers, Destination Headers, and SDP Headers categories.

In the table, where applicable, additional affected headers are noted. In Topology Hiding Settings Examples, descriptions are provided for all possible combinations of selections in the Header, Criteria, and Replace Action fields.

Avaya SBC ignores the Topology Hiding setting for the Refer-To header if:

  • The Refer-To has an embedded Replaces header.

  • Avaya SBC has an existing SIP INVITE dialog for the Replaces header.

In this scenario, Avaya SBC uses the contact of the replacing dialog to rewrite the Refer-To URI.
