P2PSIP - with a bit less (Sk|h)ype Henning Schulzrinne Dept. of Computer Science Columbia University SIP 2008
Good reasons for P2PSIP • rapid deployment in environments without sys admins and infrastructure • advanced media services (computational, storage) • chance to get user agents right public P2P P2Page McD’s Internet2 enterprise LAN hot spot home mDNS (Bonjour) SIP 2008
The wrong reasons • Skype envy • P2P incidental to success • ease of use - out-of-the-box experience • NAT traversal • good audio component (adaptive playout, error concealment, codecs) • can support 100k users on single $100/month SIP server • TURN and conferencing more interesting • still need authentication infrastructure • Service creation • same end-system services as in CS SIP • web-based services rely on hosting providers • good APIs more important than P2P vs. CS SIP 2008
Risks • Standardization • Merger in progress: ASP + RELOAD + P2PP = ? • Science project (HIP) + IPR digging vs. engineering • Technology • Security risk of open protocols: rogue nodes • Operational reliability (see Skype outage) • Service creation: Grandcentral-like services? • Extension to mobile nodes? • power, computing, reliability • Business model • Who is going to run the network? • 2007 revenues: $250M ($1.60/user account/year); Vonage: $800M • hard to do Skype-bis: value proposition? • more likely: vertical markets, games SIP 2008
