Oracle Session Monitoring Installation – Probe Mediation Engine Connection (Version 4.1.0.3.0)

Oracle Session Monitoring Installation
– Probe to Mediation Engine Connection (Version 4.1.0.3.0)

The Operations Monitor Probe can connect to one or more Mediation Engines, using TLS encryption, 
or with some configurations, also cleartext. Likewise, a Mediation Engine can connect to more than one Operations Monitor Probe (as well as Session Border Controller Probes).
The probes send meta-data for each of the signaling messages to the Mediation Engine layer and analyze
 the RTP streams locally, sending the results of this analysis to the Mediation Engine layer.
