[cisco-voip] 7200VXR as Session Border Controller/CUBE

[Peter Slow]

I will never argue that cisco.com is filled with marketing fluff.
IP-IP gateway definitely requires an IOS  featureset greater than that
of the base featureset. At cisco, CUBE combined with other IOS
features is used to provide the functionality of an SBC in IOS. IP IP
GW/CUBE can terminate RTP streams and signaling and completely (to an
extent based on callflow and timing of mesages) shield something on
one side of the CUBE from the adressing and messaging on the other.
