Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the communications protocol for person-to-person voice traffic over the Internet. Its technical 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 enhancements will enable SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Mountville.
SIP is usually associated with a method to provide the operation of ordinary telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less versatile protocols used in the old days such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols functioned at a very low level to connect IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides a sophisticated and well-defined way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the regular telephone network.
Before setting up a SIP plan in your organization, you should think about the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the common firewalls currently installed in business offices are not designed to support 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 accessed using IP addresses because these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband provider 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 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 complicated SIP scenarios for reliable and confidential communications.
