Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the communications 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 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 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 businesses in Battle Lake.
Manufacturers of SIP components are quickly developing innovative hardware and software to get the upper hand in this new Internet communications scheme. SIP telephones, PC client programs, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now on the market from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Before implementing a SIP solution in your organization, you should consider the appropriate settings of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already deployed in business offices are not designed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are usually shut on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within 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 provider or Metro fiber service is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to ascertain how to properly support SIP to get around these technical difficulties. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to deal with complicated SIP situations for secure and confidential communications.
