Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transmission technology for person-to-person real time data over the Web. 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 extended to handle IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming enhancements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Iron River.
Producers of SIP equipment are rapidly creating new products and software to get the upper hand in this new Internet communications technique. SIP telephones, PC client software, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now on the market from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to installing a SIP plan in your company, you should consider the proper settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls currently deployed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are typically blocked on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses since 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 support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to ascertain how to correctly support SIP to overcome these technical challenges. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP situations for secure and private communications.
