Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transmission technology for person-to-person real time traffic 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 extended to handle IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming improvements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Boone.
Manufacturers of SIP components are rapidly crafting new hardware and software to get the upper hand in this new Internet communications scheme. SIP telephones, PC client applications, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now obtainable from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to installing a SIP plan in your business, you should consider the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently installed in business offices are not developed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are usually shut on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be reached using IP addresses because these addresses are local and private to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line provider or Metro fiber carrier is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to evaluate how to appropriately support SIP to overcome these technical difficulties. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to deal with complicated SIP situations for reliable and private communications.
