Conditional Header Manipulation of SIP Headers

The Conditional Header Manipulation of SIP Headers feature provides the following enhancements to Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE):

  • The ability to pass unsupported parameters present in a mandatory Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) header from one call leg to another of Cisco UBE.
  • The ability to copy contents from one header to another in an outgoing SIP message.

With CSCty41575, the Conditional Header Manipulation of SIP Headers feature provides the following enhancements to Cisco UBE:

  • SIP copy-profile functionality for dial-peer rotary calls.
  • Enhanced SIP profile feature support for forked SIP leg to copy data from the initial INVITE received for a normal SIP-SIP call.
