SIP Trunk – Northwest Branch Training • What we should all know about SIP Trunk • What is SIP & brief history • Primary advantages & benefits of SIP • Sweet spot for SIP opportunities – What to look for • Configuration Elements
SIP Trunk – Northwest Branch Training • What we should all know about SIP Trunk • What is SIP & Brief History • SIP stands for “Session Initiation Protocol” • It’s an IETF standard RFC3261 first published in 2002 • Based on many of the features in HTTP and SMTP protocols • SIP is the signaling protocol to setup and process VoIP calls • RTP is SIP’s companion protocol that’s used to carry the audio
SIP Trunk – Northwest Branch Training • What we should all know about SIP Trunk • Primary Advantages & Benefits of SIP • Fault-Tolerance: Ability to build in different levels of diversity • Cost-Effectiveness: Barrier to entry is low, as is marginal expense • Scalability: Easy to add more capacity with SIP • Flexibility: Lots of options to adjust call bandwidth, call flow, etc. • Manageability: QControl gives users lots of control over SIP service • Centralizability: • One vendor to deal with for PSTN • Consolidation of PSTN access lines • Centralized TN management
SIP Trunk – Northwest Branch Training • What we should all know about SIP Trunk • Sweet spot for SIP opportunities: Customer... • Has QoS-enabled IP WAN now • Already has a VoIP solution in place • Has multiple remote/branch locations with traditional PSTN access • Views telephony as business-critical to enterprise (e.g., call center) • Has seasonal fluctuations or other unanticipated call-flow variations
