SIP Market Overview: An Analysis of SIP Technology and the State of the SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is continuing to develop rapidly and it is difficult to keep up with all of its innovations and uses. This white paper is aimed at people who want to understand the concepts and drivers behind SIP adoption, and how it is evolving to face new challenges.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is continuing to develop rapidly and it is difficult to keep up with all of its innovations and uses. This white paper is aimed at people who want to understand the concepts and drivers behind SIP adoption, and how it is evolving to face new challenges.
This paper summarizes where SIP has come from, how it works, and what makes it such a useful protocol. It then describes how SIP is used in applications including telephony, conferencing and messaging, and how it is being extended to provide innovative services and accommodate the requirements of real-world deployment, where NATs, service level agreements and regulators exist.
In covering this broad range of SIP-related topics, it provides a summary of the state of this increasingly important protocol.
