This is mostly a semantic issue.

OpenSIPS is not an SBC in the way that commercial SBCs are SBCs, and 
lacks a number of key aspects, including ASIC-assisted processing in the 
higher-end ones.

But it can be used for subscriber or carrier-facing edge duty in the 
same way SBCs are often used (unnecessarily so).
