Note:
- All terminating calls pass via the IBCF so even if call is forwarded by UE-B based on late call
forwarding settings such as user busy to UE-C in another circle, the media interception point
in the home circle of UE-B is still available in the form of Transit Gateway which is in the
media path by virtue of IBCF being in the signalling path.

Note:
- If B-Party has forwarded the call to an off-net or on-net C-Party, the signalling path &
media path of the call will be re-routed via the I-SBC(IBCF) of B-Party’s Circle. This re-
routing is needed to ensure that even for forwarded calls, there is a media interception
point in the home circle of the subscriber.
