Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transport technology for person-to-person voice traffic over the Internet. Its defining 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 in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Future enhancements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Jacksonville.
SIP is in most cases thought of as a way to implement 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, 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 in place of a telephone number over the standard telephone network.
Before implementing a SIP plan in your business, you should consider the proper settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently deployed in business offices are not developed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are usually shut 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 carrier or Metro fiber provider 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 overcome these technical problems. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP situations for secure and private communications.
