 SIP Overview

 SIP- Session Initiation Protocol

 Establishing of multimedia sessions in IP networks
 SIP is a peer-to-peer protocol
 SIP has a client/server architecture
 Transaction based (requests & responses)
 IETF signaling protocol RFC2543,RFC3261
 SIP messages may carry different contents (SDP,ISUP,E-Mail, Picture)
 SIP Functional Blocks
 User Location: It determines the address (IP
address) of the end-point of SIP session User Location
between two SIP terminal / users.
User Availability
 User Availability: Once the end system is User Capability
invited for the session, its willingness of
availability to participate the session must be Session Setup
checked.
SIP
 User Capability: If two or more end systems
are found that will establish the session, the TLS
associated media type and bearer parameters SCT
must be negotiated UDP TCP TCP P
IP IP IP IP
 Session Setup: This includes “ringing” and
establishment of the session between the end
systems.
 SIP ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS
 Proxy Server (Proxy):- act as server & client, represent the original client,
• Its main task is routing of request towards final destination.

 Redirect Server:- sends responses for client’s requests, which inform the client to
• send the request again but to another server entity.

 Registrar:- a permanent /transient data base, user agent can register its current
• address for reachability here.

 User Agent:-combine UAC which sends request and UAS which accepts, rejects,
• requests, typically a user agent is a software for the end user
terminal.

 Back-to-Back User Agent:- consists of two user agents working back-to-back. It

• control the calls going through it.
 SIP BASICS

Application layer control protocol

HTTP like transaction model
User Agent Client request User Agent Server
 Syntax: start-line/header/[body]
 Private header->flexible
 Coded as text string->easy to read
 Independent from the media description protocol
 Reconfiguration of media stream possible-> first audio , then
video
