The beroNet Gateways and SBCs support SIP to SIP Calls which involve two Parties A and B. Such a Call is called “Session”. There are 2 types of Sessions:

where X stands for the amount of sessions in which the media traverses the hardware DSPBNSBC-SESSION-TP-Y
where Y stands for the amount of Sessions where the media is forwarded transparently
NOTE: available starting with beroNet OS 21.00
The beroNet Devices have different amount of DSP resources depending on their type, but they all allow 128 transparent sessions, please see the following table:
SBC Type | Sessions with transcoding capabilities | Sessions with transparent Media |
|---|---|---|
BNSBC-M, eSBC, SBCSB… | up to 8 | up to 128 |
BNSBC-L | up to 32 | up to 128 |
BNSBC-XL | up to 64 | up to 128 |
