Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transport protocol for person-to-person real time traffic over the Internet. 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 expanded to deal with IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Future improvements will enable SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Jackson.
SIP is in most cases associated with a technique to emulate the operation of common telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less adaptable protocols used in the old days such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols worked at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides an elegant and straightforward way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the standard phone network.
Before setting up a SIP plan in your company, you should think about the proper settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently deployed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are typically closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be reached 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 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 problems. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP scenarios for reliable and confidential communications.
