What is SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) ?
(Overview)
Session Initiation Protocol
SIP server

•
SIP
signaling
An Internet signaling protocol for setting up multimedia sessions

SIP server
SIP server
Mobility support – call control in 3G networks
o
Terminal / service mobility
RTP/UDP
voice packets
V
•
Uses (overlay) control network of SIP servers

•

independent of media type (voice, video)
Media Path (RTP/UDP) decoupled from signaling
Dynamic negotiation of device capabilities, media type
Message routing is application specific
o DNS-based
name@domain addressing

•
V
Dynamic resolution of SIP URIs to device(s)
o Location-based
DNS enhancements for SIP service records & ENUM
VOIP
Telephony & Voice Mail
Unified Messaging
FindFind-MeMe-FollowFollow-Me
Call Center
Message syntax similar to HTTP
SIMPLE : SIP extensions to support Presence and IM
•
Pub/Sub mechanism
•
IM carried as signaling message payload

Enterprise communication now runs on a common infrastructure of servers and data network
SIP servers adjunct to web servers / directories
Integrate web & SIP applications on (a) client desktops and (b) servers
►Web browsers can be expected to recognise SIP URIs
Communication applications are desktop based : voice/video, presence, instant messaging

► Control (session, call) implemented as server application software

Role of SIP in 3rd Generation mobile networks : IMS
IP Multimedia subsystem (IMS) in 3GPP is based on SIP

– Efficiency of IP headers
– Flexibility of Application-layer

Move an ongoing call from a PSTN phone to cell phone
Receive IMs with yes/no responses

Joint work with Wearable Computing Group (Stefan Berger, Chandra Narayanaswami)
Conclusions
Adoption of SIP across enterprise, service provider and mobile providers
effectively creating an Internet-wide overlay control network
Servers and software have a transformational role to play
► Shift from router-based networking to server-based “networking”
Is this the next step in the architectural evolution of the Internet ?
