What Is SIP?
Session Initiation Protocol or SIP is a communication control protocol used in communication with IP related applications. This protocol is defined by IETF, the Internet Engineering task Force, an organization dedicated to developing and promoting internet standards. SIP is used for audio and visual communication over the internet.
This protocol is used to create sessions for a variety of different applications. Some of the applications using SIP include video conferencing, online games, instant messaging, and streamed multimedia presentations. It can even be used in file transfer applications. The versatility of this protocol is in its ability to handle sessions including single and multiple users and to handle data in both a sending and receiving capacity.
SIP is part of the 3G network for streaming multimedia applications within cellular networks. Its ability to work well with other protocols also makes it a popular choice for VOIP network infrastructures. Having a stable and versatile communications protocol has become important for business networks.
Computer systems and networks have become the way to handle large-scale applications such as phone networks efficiently and effectively. An increasing number of businesses of all sizes have switched to VOIP networks because of their versatility, which is due in part to protocols such as the session initiation protocol responsible for creating and ending internet sessions.
Session Initiation Protocol is a versatile, well accepted and widely applied application designed to work well with and in addition to other protocols and has become a standard in VOIP applications.
[…] The session initiation protocol works well with already established essential protocols to offer a well rounded and stable protocol for just about any network […]
