Term Definition

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol

IETF protocol for controllin g multimedia communicati on. Defined by RFC 3261 [20]

SNMP

Simple Network Managemen t Protocol

A protocol used to monitor netwo rk devices.

Source Alias The alias present in the “source” fiel d of a message.

SRV record

Service record

A type of DNS record.

STUN

Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs

Firewall NAT traversal for SIP. Defined by RF C 3489 [21].

Subzone A segment of a VCS zone.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol

A reliable communication prot ocol defined by RFC 791 [18].

Telnet A network protocol used on the i nternet or Local Area Netw orks (LANs).

TLS

Transport Layer Securit y

A protocol that provides secu re communications over the int ernet.

Transform In relation to the VCS, the proces s of changing the alias being sear ched for.

Traversal call Any call where both signaling and m edia are routed through th e VCS.

Traversal Client A traversal entity on the pri vate side of a firewall. Exampl es are a TANDBERG Gatekeeper or TANDBE RG VCS.

Traversal Server A traversal entity on the public side of a firewall. Exampl es are the TANDBERG Border Contr oller and the TANDBERG VCS with the B order Controller option en abled.

Traversal-enabled endp oint Any endpoint that support s the Assent and/or ITU H.460.18 and H.460.19 st andards for firewall traver sal. This includes all TANDBERG MX P endpoints.

UDP

User Datagram Protocol

URI

Uniform Resource Identif ier

A formatted string used to ide ntify a resource, typic ally on the internet.

User Policy The set of rules that determine th e action(s) to be applied to calls for a par ticular user or group.

VCS Border Controller A VCS with the Border Controlle r option added. This allows the VCS t o act as a firewall traversal ser ver.

Zone A collection of endpoints.
