Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the transport technology for person-to-person real time data over the Internet. Its defining 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. Forthcoming enhancements will enable SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in East Windsor.
SIP is typically thought of as a technique to emulate the operation of common telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less adaptable protocols used in the old days such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols worked at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, however, provides an elegant and well-defined 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.
Before setting up a SIP plan in your company, you should take into account the proper settings of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already installed in business offices are not designed to support the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are often closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients inside a firewall can not be reached using IP addresses since these addresses are local and unique to the LAN. Third, you need to ensure that either your T1 line carrier or Ethernet fiber service is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to evaluate how to properly support SIP to get around these technical difficulties. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP situations for secure and confidential communications.
