Thank you Gang for your input here. According to the Wikipedia page on B2BUA:
The Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) acts as a user agent to both ends of a
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call. The B2BUA is responsible for handling
all SIP signalling between both ends of the call, from call establishment to
termination. Each call is tracked from beginning to end, allowing the operators
of the B2BUA to offer value-added features to the call.
and,
A Signaling gateway, part of a Session Border Controller, or Asterisk PBX are
good examples of a B2BUA.
The last statement particularly puts me off, as the SBC page on Wikipedia also
suggests that "Signalling Mode" GnuGKs also function as a partial SBC. Is this
correct? Or am I missing something?
Regards
HASSAN

BorderController
I don't think gnugk is a SBC. For example, can one peer in normal start mode
and the other call leg in fast start? mostly, SBC is a B2BUA.

Hi,
I have a theoretical question about the difference between a Session Border
Controller and a Soft Switch. Going through some googled documents, it
appears there is very little difference between the two. It appear GnuGK
can work as an SBC for H323 endpoints. Am I being wrong in making this
assumption? Can someone shed some light on this issue?
