- UserA (sipuri:usera@deHOSTED.com) is looking for UserB (sipuri:userb@customer.de)
 - First of all it will check the access edge configuration for federated domain.
 - As UserA request for sipuri: userb@customer.de and in my case both domain is configured for open federation, the request will go to Access Edge Server and Access Edge Server will do lookup for domain name customer.de.
 - If customer.de domain exists then it will look for the SRV record _sipfederationtls._tcp.customer.de.
 - Once it will get the destination address of customer.de access edge server then it will try to establish the SIP/MTLS:5061 connection.
 - Once customer.de will receive the request from deHOSTED.com, customer.de will check the access edge configuration to verify allow/block federated domains.
 - Once the connection will be establish between both Skype for Business Front End Pools / Skype for Business Standard Edition Servers via Access Edge Server, UserA and UserB will talk to each other.
 
- All the required ports should be open in both ends.
 - SRV record entry should exist in External Certificate.
 - Federated domain should be allowed in both ends.
 - XMPP doesn’t use SIP/MTLS:5061. It use XMPP/TCP:5269 to connect access edge server from public network and XMPP/MTLS:23456 to connect Front End Pool.
