SIP in the Enterprise Presented by François AUDET Nortel Networks
Drivers for SIP in the Enterprise • There are 2 main drivers for SIP in the Enterprise • Communications Network Infrastructure • Multimedia Applications IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Communications Network Infrastructure • Enterprises have in the past been struggling with integrating SIP applications and devices in their corporate communications infrastructure • Enterprises are starting to upgrade their corporate communications network infrastructure to VoIP both H.323 and SIP • Enterprises have significant numbers of traditional PBXs and other telecommunication equipment in their corporate infrastructure • This infrastructure needs to be upgraded gradually to VoIP without interruption • The upgrading has to bring significant improvement in operational improvements • IP Virtual Private Networks are commonplace • VoIP access to the PSTN is becoming a reality IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Traditional Enterprise Telephony Network • Complex set of TDM/Analog trunk routes configured statically between PBXs • Numbering/dialing plans used to route calls • Numbering plan/dialing plan configured locally, and coordinated • Dual wiring IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
VoIP Enterprise Network • No mesh of trunk routes anymore • Centralized numbering plan • Signaling established directly between the Call Servers, or other VoIP devices • Routing entity • H.323 Gatekeeper • SIP Proxy/Redirect server IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
How do we get there? • Enterprise network telephony infrastructure can not change overnight • Can’t forklift everything • Has to be cost-effective • Zero downtime • Need to support a wide range of communication interfaces • For most enterprises, the “parallel VoIP network” approach is not an option • Too much existing functionality in network today is necessary • Billing system, IVRs, Management • Custom-built applications • Can’t change phone numbers of existing users • Solution is to transform the existing infrastructure to modern VoIP infrastructure, at pace suitable for each Enterprise IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Nortel Meridian 1 to Nortel Communication Server 1000 Call Server (real IP PBX, direct media across network, H.323 networking) Stand-alone IP PBX (IP phone only, direct media, rack-mounted) CS 1000 software now supported on Meridian Hardware (single stream) H.323 networking IP-enabled PBXLine emulation and Trunk emulation (H.323) CS 1000 Release 1.0 CS 1000 Release 2.0 New high capacity server, redundancy, H.323 & SIP networking, SIP phones, Converged client ITG (line) MediaCard Meridian 1 PBX CS 1000(M) Release 3.0 CS 1000(M) Release 4.0 ITG (line)ITG (trunk) MediaCard MediaCard ITG media card evolved from Line and H.323 GW to slave Media Gateway Red lines are essentially software upgrade IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
SIP for the Masses • Succession Release 3.0 brings H.323 to the masses • Succession Release 4.0 brings SIP to the masses • H.323 Gatekeeper configuration data is automatically supported in SIP Redirect Server • 100% of Enterprise telephony services are preserved • Including all the “400” PBX features • H.323 to SIP networking is handled by CS 1000 • Not a protocol “translator” • Call server itself handles it • Call control in Call Server doesn’t really care if it is SIP or H.323 • Direct media connectivity across the Enterprise • Simplified network topology • No physical location restrictions • Interoperability with VoIP service providers (H.323 and SIP) IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Why should you care? • Unless the Enterprise infrastructure supports SIP, how can you significantly deploy new SIP applications? • With a SIP infrastructure, SIP applications move from the margins to the core enterprise • ...but what are those SIP applications?

Allows ALL users to have access to both the FULL range of: Business Telephony Services (CS 1000) Multimedia Services (MCS 5100) Includes IP phone users & TDM/Analog phones CS 1000 Rls 4.0, MCS 5100 Rls 3.0 Converged Multimedia Desktop • Converged Desktop • Coordinated telephony/multimedia • Existing telephony & full multimedia features IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
How does it work? • A physical phone (TDM, Analog or IP) is controlled by CS 1000 • UI on phone controlled by the CS 1000 • A SIP PC client on the desktop may be used for SIP Multimedia Services (Presence, etc.) • One SIP session from the CS 1000, and another from the SIP PC Client are processed by the MCS 5100 B2BUA • MCS 5100 and CS 1000 synchronize their state information through SIP event packages • EVERY user on the network can get a SIP Presence, regardless of its terminal • From the outside, everybody is a SIP client, including presence, instant messaging and multimedia services, etc. • Requires SIP for full version (TDM/H.323 for more limited set) • Requires CS 1000 Release 4.0 (new, or Meridian update to CS 1000 software) IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California

SIP Requirements • SIP is a perfect solution because of subscription to dialog and event packages which allows calls servers to synchronize their call state • Use of latest SIP standard crucial (RFC 3261, etc.) • 180/183/PRACK essential for Business Telephony Services • re-INVITE/UPDATE with new SDP is essential for Business Telephony Services • for supporting hundreds of features, without rewriting them one by one • REFER doesn’t always cut it • In a real Enterprise network, Telephone numbers need to be described using a formal rfc2806-bis format expressed as a sip URI • sip:5555@example.com is NOT good enough in a global network • sip:5555;phone-context=santaclara.example.com@example.com;user=phone IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
Conclusions • Support for SIP in the Communication network infrastructure allows for SIP for the masses in the Enterprise • Preserving existing Business Telephony services, while introducing new SIP multimedia applications is crucial • Converged client makes new SIP multimedia applications available to all users in the Enterprise, regardless of physical terminal IMTC Forum – May 2004 – San Jose, California
