Features for Cisco MediaSense Release 11.5(1)
The following new features have been introduced in Cisco MediaSense Release 11.5(1).
IPv6
Cisco MediaSense 11.5(1) supports recording of media streams over IPv6. For Unified Communications
Manager built-in-bridge calls, the recordings are done over IPv6 addresses in addition to IPV4 addresses.
This is a significant change as Cisco MediaSense can now record calls from endpoints that support only IPv6
addresses. Earlier, MediaSense supported recordings over IPv4-only-stack and dual-stack endpoints. The
feature is an add-on support where an administrator can assign an IPv6 address to the MediaSense server, in
addition to IPv4 address. The recordings thus made, can be played back or downloaded over IPv4 interfaces.

SIP signaling still traverses through IPv4 addresses, thus local IPv4 address is required at MediaSense
end.

During a call recording, if an IPv6 address is configured at MediaSense and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
are supported by endpoint, preference is given to the IPv6 addresses for media streams.

Note
Secured Communication
Cisco MediaSense 11.5(1) supports secured recording through secured SIP and SRTP (Secure Real-time
Transport Protocol). At the MediaSense end, secured SIP ensures that the signaling used to set up recording
sessions is encrypted. Secured SIP signaling is achieved over TLS transport layer for SIP messages. Next,
MediaSense negotiates SRTP streams over signaling channels, and receives and decrypts the encrypted RTP
messages. The received media streams are stored in the MediaSense server in a decrypted form and are
accessible through all available channels.

When you install or upgrade to Cisco MediaSense Release 11.5(1), secured SIP and SRTP are enabled
automatically. However, the existing non-secured call recording functionality continues to work in the same
manner as in the previous version of MediaSense.
