Yeah, I'm familiar with 3261. However the SIP proxy that 3261 talks about has a completely different function than what an ALG/SBC does. Maybe I shouldn't have used the term "SIP proxy" in my previous e-mails. My bad.
I don't know if it'll make things any clearer (I doubt it), but you could compare the SIP proxy in RFC 3261 as a combination HSS/CSCF in 3GPP IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) parlance whereas the ALG/SBC performs the function of an I-BCF/I-BGF (man, who thinks up all of these acronyms). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Multimedia_Subsystem http://www.dataconnection.com/sbc/imsarch.htm -Martin -- "Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them." --Bill Vaughan
