Trusted node configuration
External SIP proxies or SIP test tools generate significant messaging traffic and
can potentially exceed SIP DoS mitigation thresholds. To prevent the SIP DoS
mitigation feature from blocking these messages, the administrator can either
disable the feature, or configure a list of trusted IP addresses to be exempt from it.
