Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transport technology for person-to-person real time 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 expanded to deal with IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Future improvements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Waldron.
SIP is usually thought of as a way to implement the functionality of ordinary telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less versatile protocols used in the past 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 well-defined way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address instead of a telephone number over the regular phone network.
Before installing a SIP solution in your company, you should think about the appropriate settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the common firewalls currently installed in business offices are not developed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are usually closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be reached using IP addresses since these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line carrier or Metro fiber service is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to appropriately support SIP to get around these technical challenges. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to deal with complicated SIP scenarios for secure and confidential communications.
