Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission protocol for person-to-person voice data over the Web. Its technical specifications come from the SIP working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. SIP provides 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 handle 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 High Ridge.
Producers of SIP hardware are rapidly crafting new products and software to take advantage of this new Internet communications scheme. SIP telephones, PC client programs, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now available from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to implementing a SIP plan in your business, you should consider the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the common firewalls currently 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 normally shut on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses because these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line provider or Metro fiber service is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to evaluate how to appropriately support SIP to overcome these technical challenges. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is feasible to handle complex SIP situations for secure and private communications.
