Consider SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transmission protocol 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. Future enhancements will enable SIP applications such as video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for companies in Washington Island.
Manufacturers of SIP hardware are quickly creating new hardware and software to take advantage of 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.
Prior to installing a SIP plan in your company, you should take into account the appropriate configuration of your corporate firewall to accept SIP. Many of the typical firewalls already installed in business offices are not developed to allow the SIP protocol. First, SIP media streams are transmitted over dynamically assigned UDP ports that are often blocked 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 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 adding a SIP proxy and registrar for controlling the firewall, it is possible to handle complex SIP situations for reliable and private communications.
