Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the communications technology 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 expanded to handle IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Future improvements will enable SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Richland.
SIP is typically associated with a means to implement the functionality of common 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 a sophisticated and straightforward way to network the enterprise. For instance, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address instead of a telephone number over the regular phone network.
Prior to installing a SIP plan in your company, you should take into account the appropriate configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently installed in business offices are not designed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are often shut 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 broadband provider or Ethernet fiber provider is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager 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 handle complex SIP scenarios for reliable and private communications.
