Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission protocol 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 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. Forthcoming enhancements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Lincoln County.
Producers of SIP components are quickly crafting new products and software to take advantage of this new Internet communications method. SIP telephones, PC client applications, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now on the market from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to setting up a SIP solution in your company, you should think about the appropriate configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already deployed in business offices are not designed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are often blocked on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses since these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line provider or Ethernet fiber provider is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to evaluate how to properly support SIP to overcome these technical challenges. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is feasible to handle complicated SIP situations for reliable and private communications.
