  3. Walled Gardens • The closed-network model for VoIP will inevitably end • No one ever needs to ask today whether their messaging system can send an email to Yahoo or a Company’s server • DNS and the “Internet Address” magically glue us together • Today for some IM and VoIP offerings we see not a real Internet model – the are based more on the toll and location based models of the PSTN world

  4. SIP & Open Standards • Session Initiation Protocol (RFC 3261): SIP provides for open and standards-based signaling • SIP provides registration, authentication, and discovery - allows two or more clients to locate each other, select a media type & define media sockets using SDP • RTP used for audio/video payload, and often times directly between end devices • Challenges • SIP protocol still in rolling development • Each SIP end-user device may state its own presence • Security challenges (data capture, MITM, DDoS, virus, encryption not commonly used) • Conclusion • SIP records can be added to DNS records • SIP is just a protocol (VoIP is an application)

  5. Embracing Open Standards • Open, RFC-compliant standards ensure all users of various vendor technologies can communicate • The distributed Internet model has been proven with email, and is inevitable with voice • Businesses are empowered with the ability to define their security and privacy policies • Most Messaging platforms (Exchange, iPlanet etc) can be configured with gateways and directory services to enable SIP, XMPP, or other services

  6. Internet Address Space • What we typically call an “Email Address” is really an “Internet Address” • Routes via DNS • Email uses “MX” (Mail Exchanger) records • Protocol specific applications can use DNS to determine ports and servers • SIP and XMPP use “SRV” (Service) records in DNS • SRV Records (Required Only for Non-Primary Host servers) • For example, if a DNS query for somedomain.com resolves host1.somedomain.com, and your services are running on host1, SRV would not be required. • Benefits of a single address • Allows multiple media type clients to use common AuthID • Simplification of provisioning • Much more easy to use for rules • Allows external people (customers) to have common address

  14. Summary SIP-ifying the E-mail base will • Drive interoperability between different networks • Upgrade and Enable today’s Messaging platforms to route and manage other Media types. • Allow inbound Internet calls to hit legacy Telephony platforms through intelligent gateways. • Enable media types (Unified Communications) to use a single address space, and promote inter-operability though standards based inner-connects and APIs. • Drive Mash-up applications or widgets that leverage Unified Communications technology (communications, presence, routing)
