Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transport protocol for person-to-person real time traffic over the Internet. 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 expanded to deal with IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming enhancements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Folkston.
Manufacturers of SIP components are quickly developing new hardware and software to get the upper hand in this new Internet communications scheme. SIP telephones, PC client applications, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now obtainable from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to installing a SIP solution in your company, you should think about the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently installed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are often shut on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses since these addresses are local and private to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband carrier or Metro fiber provider is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to correctly support SIP to overcome these technical difficulties. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to handle complicated SIP scenarios for secure and confidential communications.
