System Requirements for SBC

To deploy SBC server, you need to know the requirements of hardware, ethernet port, operation system, and network bandwidth.

Hardware Requirements

The server used to host the SBC should meet the following minimum requirements.

  • CPU: Intel brand, 4 vCPU (thread), 2.4GHz -2.9GHz
    Note:
    • Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (Intel® SSE4) should be supported on the CPU.
    • For Data center, we suggest that you use Intel Xeron E5 series CPU.
  • Memory: 8GB
  • Storage: 100GB

Ethernet Port Requirements

  • For Data Center: The SBC server needs 2 Ethernet ports.
  • For AWS: The SBC server needs 2 Ethernet ports.
  • For Ali Cloud: The SBC server needs 1 Ethernet ports.

Operation System Requirement

Ubuntu 16.04.2 (or 16.04.3 or 16.04.4) LTS Server Edition - 64 bit

Note: Other Ubuntu versions are not tested and supported.

Network Bandwidth Requirements

The network bandwidth for the server should meet the following minimum requirements.

  • Upstream Bandwidth: 31 Mbps

  • Downstream Bandwidth: 31 Mbps

VOIP Bandwidth consumption naturally depends on the codec used. Set up your network bandwidth according to the requirements of audio codecs.

In the following table, CC stands for Concurrent Calls.
