Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission technology for person-to-person real time 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 extended to deal with IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Future improvements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Forrest.
SIP is usually associated with a way to emulate the operation of standard telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less flexible protocols used in the past such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols functioned at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides a sophisticated and straightforward way to network the enterprise. For instance, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address instead of a telephone number over the standard phone network.
Prior to implementing a SIP solution in your business, you should take into account the appropriate configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the common firewalls already installed in business offices are not developed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are normally closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be accessed using IP addresses because these addresses are local and private to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line broadband provider or Metro fiber provider is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to appropriately support SIP to get around these technical challenges. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to deal with complicated SIP scenarios for secure and confidential communications.
