Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the communications technology 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 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 deal with IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming enhancements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Ashland.
SIP is usually associated with a method to implement the operation of standard telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less adaptable protocols used in the past such as H.323 and MGCP. These older protocols performed at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone network. SIP, on the other hand, provides an elegant and well-defined way to network the enterprise. For instance, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address instead of a telephone number over the regular telephone network.
Before setting up a SIP solution in your company, you should consider the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the common firewalls currently installed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are usually closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be reached using IP addresses because 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 correctly support SIP to overcome these technical challenges. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to handle complicated SIP scenarios for secure and private communications.
