Acme Packet Net-Net SBCs Assure SLAs with Policy Servers from CableMatrix, Camiant, Juniper Networks and Operax
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acme Packet® (NASDAQ: APKT), the leader in session border control solutions, today announced that its Net-Net® session border controllers (SBCs) now support the DIAMETER protocol towards Resource and Admission Control Functions (i.e., policy servers) and Connectivity session Location repository Functions (CLFs), which form an integral part of next generation IMS networks. DIAMETER is an AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) protocol and is used for several IMS functions, including the interface between SBCs and policy servers for resource reservation for VoIP and other interactive IP communication sessions. Building upon its industry-leading policy server integration efforts launched in June 2005, Acme Packet has expanded its partner list to include CableMatrix and Juniper Networks and is testing DIAMETER interoperability between its Net-Net SBC and policy servers from CableMatrix, Camiant, Juniper and Operax. |
