Feature Name	Releases	Feature Information
SIP-to-SIP Basic Functionality for Session Border Controller	12.4(4)T	The SIP-to-SIP Basic Functionality for Session Border Controller (SBC) for Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) feature provides termination and re-origination of both signaling and media between VoIP and video networks using SIP signaling in conformance with RFC 3261. This feature uses no new or modified commands.
SIP-to-SIP Extended Feature Functionality for Session Border Controllers	12.4(6)T	The SIP-to-SIP Extended Feature Functionality for Session Border Controllers (SBCs) enables the SIP-to-SIP functionality to conform with RFC 3261 to interoperate with SIP User Agents (UAs). This feature uses no new or modified commands.
SIP-to-SIP Supplementary Services for Session Border Controller	12.4(9)T,	The SIP-to-SIP Supplementary Services for Session Border Controller feature enhances terminating and re-originating signaling and media between VoIP and Video networks This feature uses no new or modified commands.
Transparent Tunneling of QSIG and Q.931 over SIP TDM Gateway and SIP-SIP Cisco Unified Border Element	12.4(15)XZ 12.4(20)T	This feature adds support for transparent tunneling of all Q.931 messages over SIP and for the Transparent Tunneling of QSIG and Q.931 over a SIP-SIP Cisco Unified Border Element. Transparent tunneling is accomplished by encapsulating QSIG or Q.931 messages within SIP message bodies. These messages are encapsulated using "application/qsig" or "application/x-q931" Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) to tunnel between SIP endpoints. Using MIME to tunnel through Cisco SIP messaging does not include any additional QSIG/Q.931 services to SIP interworking. This feature uses no new or modified commands.
SIP Parameter Modification	12.4(15)XZ 12.4(20)T	Allows users to change the standard SIP messages sent from the Cisco SIP stack for better interworking with different SIP entities. This feature introduces or modifies the following commands: voice class sip-profiles, voice-class sip profiles

This feature also provides choice of transparent pass through or application of address hiding to the SIP Diversion Header on Cisco UBE platforms. This feature modifies the following commands: host-registrar, and registrar
Cisco Unified Border Element Support for Configurable Pass-through of SIP INVITE Parameters	15.0(1)M	This feature enables the Cisco Unified Border Element platform to pass through end-to-end headers at a global or dial-peer level, that are not processed or understood in a SIP trunk to SIP trunk scenario. The pass through functionality includes all or only a configured list of unsupported or non-mandatory SIP headers, and all unsupported content/MIME types. This feature introduces the following commands: pass-thru and voice-class sip pass-thru.
SIP—Ability to Send a SIP Registration Message on a Border Element	12.4(24)T	Provides the ability to send a SIP Registration Message from Cisco Unified Border Element. The following command was modified: credentials (SIP UA)
SIP—INFO Method for DTMF Tone Generation	12.2(11)T 12.3(2)T 12.2(8)YN 12.2(11)YV 12.2(11)T 12.2(15)T	The SIP—INFO Method for DTMF Tone Generation feature uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INFO method to generate dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones on the telephony call leg. SIP methods, or request message types, request a specific action be taken by another user agent (UA) or proxy server. The SIP INFO message is sent along the signaling path of the call. The following command was introduced: show sip-ua.
Support for PAID, PPID, Privacy, PCPID, and PAURI Headers on the Cisco UBE	12.4(22)YB 15.0(1)M	This feature enables Cisco UBE platforms to support: •P-Preferred Identity (PPID), P-Asserted Identity (PAID), Privacy, P-Called Party Identity (PCPID), in INVITE messages •Translation of PAID headers to PPID headers and vice versa •Translation of From: or RPID headers to PAID or PPID headers and vice versa •Configuration and/or pass through of privacy header values •PCPID header to route INVITE messages •Multiple PAURI headers in the response messages (200 OK) it receives to REGISTER messages •P-Preferred Identity and P-Asserted Identity Headers The following commands were introduced: call-route p-called-party-id, privacy-policy, random-contact, random-request-uri validate, voice-class sip call-route p-called-party-id, voice-class sip privacy-policy, voice-class sip random-contact, and voice-class sip random-request-uri validate.
Configuring Selective Filtering of Outgoing Provisional Response on the Cisco UBE	12.4(22)YB 15.0(1)M	This feature adds support on Cisco UBE for selective filtering of outgoing provisional responses, including "180-Alerting" and "183-Session In Progress" responses. Selective filtering can be further based on the availability of media information in the received provisional response. The following commands were introduced or modified: block and voice-class sip block.
