Why You Need SIP Protocol for Voice Communications
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission technology for person-to-person voice traffic over the Web. 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 deal with IP telephony combined with video and instant messaging. Forthcoming enhancements will allow SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Superior.
SIP is in most cases associated with a way to provide the operation of standard telephony over an IP network. It is replacing the older, less versatile protocols used in the past such as H.323 and MGCP. These earlier protocols performed at a very low level to link IP phones to the public telephone system. SIP, on the other hand, provides an elegant and straightforward way to network the enterprise. For instance, SIP uses email addresses as the SIP address in place of a telephone number over the standard telephone network.
Before setting up a SIP solution in your business, you should take into account the appropriate settings of your corporate firewall to support SIP. Many of the common firewalls already deployed in business offices are not designed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically allocated UDP ports that are typically blocked on firewalls. Second, SIP clients within 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 broadband carrier or Metro fiber service is able to handle the SIP protocol from your internal network to the outside world. Your IT manager will need to evaluate how to correctly support SIP to get around these technical challenges. By adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to deal with complex SIP situations for secure and private communications.
