Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the communications protocol for person-to-person real time traffic over the Web. Its technical specifications come from the SIP working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. SIP gives access to the public switched telephone network for voice data at 3 kHz bandwidth and common number dialing using Voice over IP (VoIP). It can also be extended to deal with IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming improvements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Sedgwick.
SIP is commonly associated with a way to implement the operation of ordinary telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less adaptable protocols used in the past such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols functioned at a very low level to connect IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides a sophisticated and well-defined way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the regular phone network.
Prior to implementing a SIP solution in your business, you should consider the appropriate configuration of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already installed in business offices are not designed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are usually closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses since these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband provider or Metro fiber carrier is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to properly support SIP to get around these technical issues. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to deal with complex SIP situations for secure and confidential communications.
