Consider SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the communications protocol for person-to-person voice 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 expanded to deal with IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming improvements will enable SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Covington.
Makers of SIP hardware are quickly developing new hardware and software to get the upper hand in this new Internet communications scheme. SIP telephones, PC client applications, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now on the market from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
Prior to implementing a SIP solution in your business, you should consider the proper configuration of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the common firewalls currently installed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transferred over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are usually closed on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within 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 carrier or Metro fiber carrier is able to support the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT administrator will need to ascertain how to correctly support SIP to overcome these technical issues. By including a SIP proxy and registrar for managing the firewall, it is feasible to handle complicated SIP situations for reliable and confidential communications.
