Consider SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the communications technology for person-to-person voice traffic over the Web. Its defining 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 combined with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming improvements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Waterloo.
Producers of SIP equipment are quickly developing innovative products and software to take advantage of this new Internet communications method. SIP telephones, PC client programs, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now available from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to installing a SIP plan in your business, you should think about the appropriate settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already installed in business offices are not designed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are usually shut on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses because these addresses are local and private to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband carrier 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 evaluate how to properly support SIP to get around these technical challenges. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP situations for secure and confidential communications.
