Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission technology for person-to-person voice data over the Internet. 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 in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Future improvements will enable SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Hockessin.
Producers of SIP equipment are rapidly creating new products and software to take advantage of this new Internet communications technique. SIP telephones, PC client applications, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now obtainable from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Before setting up a SIP plan in your company, you should consider the proper settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already 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 usually closed 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 Metro fiber service is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to properly support SIP to get around these technical issues. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is feasible to deal with complex SIP scenarios for secure and confidential communications.
