Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the communications technology for person-to-person voice 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 expanded to deal with IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming enhancements will enable SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Muskegon.
SIP is usually associated with a means to provide the operation of common telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less flexible protocols used in the old days such as H.323 and MGCP. These older protocols functioned at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides a sophisticated and well-defined way to network the enterprise. For example, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the regular telephone network.
Prior to setting up a SIP plan in your company, you should think about the appropriate settings of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already 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 usually blocked on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses because these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband carrier or Metro fiber carrier is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to evaluate how to appropriately support SIP to overcome these technical problems. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to deal with complicated SIP scenarios for secure and private communications.
