Problem Enterprise FW/NATS pervasive Residential NATS more common SIP provider has proxies outside User is inside SIP fails completely Long Term Solution SIP ALGs as described elsewhere But ALGs will take a while to come Existing NAT/FW won’t change when they do Can’t deploy SIP for years, as a result Draft-rosenber-sip-entfw-00.txt
Chicken and Egg Problem Enterprise IT admins won’t deploy SIP ALGs until users ask Users won’t ask unless they’re using it Users can’t use it unless it passes firewall/NAT Won’t pass firewall/NAT without ALG Enterprise IT admins won’t deploy SIP ALGs until users ask…. Strategy Define a solution, no matter how ugly, that lets SIP work now Usage increases ALGs get deployed Abandon short term solution More Bad News
Yes its horrible Send Technical comments on whether you think it will work Let me know if you are interested in supporting this in your products No action requested from SIP WG at this time From here
Problem: How to build complex applications in a distributed way Why is it hard? IVR systems Conferencing TTS/STT messaging Want to split components into separate boxes Allow separate providers to run each box Simplify app creation Don’t need to know details of sub-components Draft-rosenberg-sip-app-components-00.txt
Solution Proposed SIP is a mechanism for invoking session level services URI is service identifier Not an extension Next steps Is there interest? Comments welcome Informational RFC? Solution + Next Steps
Problem Lots of confusion on multiparty conferencing in SIP Many ways to do it, not well documented Solution Draft outlines different models Overviews differences and applicability scenarios Next steps Technical comments Suggestions for more models SIP WG consider as an informational RFC draft-rosenberg-sip-conferencing-models-00.txt
