SIP is a protocol for initiating, managing, and terminating multimedia sessions over the Internet. It allows users to establish multimedia sessions including voice, video, and text. SIP components include user agents, proxy servers, redirect servers, and registrars. SIP uses request methods like INVITE, ACK, BYE and response codes to set up and terminate sessions between user agents. SIP addresses users in a globally reachable way and allows real-time communication between parties.

do we need SIP ?

3. Introduction
 SIP
is the core protocol for initiating,
managing and terminating sessions in the
Internet
 These sessions may be text, voice, video or
a combination of these
 SIP sessions involve one or more
participants and can use unicast or multicast
communication.

4. SIP entities
 User
Agent
User Agent Client
User Agent Server
 Proxy

 Redirect server
 Registrar

5. SIP message types
SIP is modeled on HTTP
–
Use same syntax and semantics as HTTP
 Request
– Method (INVITE, ACK, BYE, etc.)
– Header (Accept, Contact, etc.)
 Answer
– Status code (200 OK, 180 Ringing, etc.)
– Header (Content-type, Content-encoding, etc.)

6. SIP Message Types
Requests – sent from client to server

INVITE initiate call
ACK confirm final response
BYE terminate (and transfer) call
CANCEL cancel searches and “ringing”
OPTIONS features support by other side
REGISTER register with location service
INFO mid-call information (ISUP)

SIP Methods
INVITE
SIP Answers
Initiate a call by inviting a user to take part in a session.
ACK
Confirm that the client received a final response
to a request INVITES.
BYE
Indicate the end of the call.
CANCEL
Cancel a request.
REGISTER
OPTIONS
To register the User Agent.
Used to know the capacities of the server.

SIP gives you a globally reachable address.
􀁠 Callees bind to this address using SIP REGISTER method.
􀁠 Callers use this address to establish real-time communication with callees.
􀁠 URLs used as address data format; examples:
􀁠sip:jiri@iptel.org
􀁠sip:voicemail@iptel.org?subject=callme
􀁠sip:sales@hotel.xy; geo.position:=48.54_-123.84_120
􀁠 must include host, may include user name, port number, parameters
(e.g., transport), etc.
􀁠 may be embedded in Webpages, email signatures, printed on your
business card, etc.
􀁠 address space unlimited
􀁠 non-SIP URLs can be used as well (mailto:, http:, ...)

18. CONCLUSION
 Sip
is working behind session in internet
 It makes voip easier
 In future we can expect more in sip
