What is SIP ? • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) • Generic Call Services Protocol • IETF Proposed Standard (RFC 2543) • Similar to HTTP
SIP Components • User Agents • Clients to initiate calls and servers to accept or reject calls • Servers • Proxy • Redirect • Registration
Value of SIP • Interoperability • User agents for intra-MGC communications • Servers that span carrier networks • Designed for IP Networks • Platform for Enhanced Services • Scalable
SIP Is A Platform • Defined Building Blocks Enable Rapid Innovation • Extensibility Mechanisms • Security • Media and Transport Independent
SIP Is Scalable • Minimal Resource Requirements • Stateless servers • Minimal Bandwidth Overhead • Well suited for endpoint devices • Low Call Setup Times • Text-based Encoding • Designed for IP Networks
SIP Enables Applications • Billing • Directory Services • Internet Call Waiting • Collaboration • eCommerce • Click-N-Call
SIP Interoperability Update • SIP Bake-Off Event • April, 1999 - 15 Companies Test Interoperability on Their Equipment • dynamicsoft, Nortel, Ericsson, 3 Com, HP, Ellemtel, Dialogic, BT, PingTel, Alcatel, Columbia University, MCI, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, MediaTrix • Call setup interoperability demonstrated in 2 day event • Next Bake-off planned for August in New York, USA
SIP and MEGACO - Why Both ? • Complimentary Technologies • MEGACO • IETF draft • Common media control interface • SIP • Call Services • Support the Delineation of Control from Media
