Techopedia explains Session Border Controller (SBC)
A SBC manages data session communication between two entities and is associated with the following voice call streams:
- One or more management signaling exchanges

Early SBC versions used a peer-to-peer (P2P) system for network border management. This functionality was gradually expanded to manage major service provider and backbone network deployments for residential and enterprise clients.
