Network Architecture • SIP with additions = Softswitch to Softswitch • Open Standards (SIP BCP-T) • Isolate legacy signaling and Maintain backward compatibility • Enable scalable deployment of Softswitch network Vemuri, Zimmerer,
SIP BCP-T • SIP: Session Initiation Protocol RFC 2543 • INFO Method • ISUP MIME Type • ISUP – SIP Mapping • NAP Architecture Vemuri, Zimmerer,
SIP Session Initiation Protocol • IETF Standards track: RFC 2543 • Simple: Set up and tear down sessions • Wide acceptance • Stack commercially available Vemuri, Zimmerer,
INFO method • Session initiation and teardown is not enough • Mid-Call events • More complex services enabled Vemuri, Zimmerer,
ISUP MIME Type • Standard method of encapsulating legacy signaling • Simplifies Inter-working: • Local variant • Interconnect variant (LCD) • Specific target: do one thing well Vemuri, Zimmerer,
Why not use ISUP? • Which ISUP? • Build Tomorrow’s network with Yesterday’s protocol? • SIP BCP-T isolates legacy signaling problems • New services develop faster with IP protocols Vemuri, Zimmerer,
ISUP SIP mapping • Use SIP as a basic function or tool • Build applications that use SIP for call setup • Remember: SIP is not ISUP Vemuri, Zimmerer,
NAP architecture • Interconnect Packet Networks • Circuit to packet origination • Packet to packet NAP • Packet to circuit termination • Security! Vemuri, Zimmerer,
