2.1. What is SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) standard for
multimedia conferencing over IP. SIP is an ASCII-based, application-layer control protocol (defined
in RFC 2543& RFC 3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate calls between two
or more end points. Like other VoIP protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling
and session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be
carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the
attributes of an end-to-end call.
SIP provides the following capabilities:
Determine the location of the target end point—Supports address resolution, name mapping, and
call redirection.
Determine the media capabilities of the target end point—By using Session Description Protocol
(SDP), SIP determines the highest level of common services between the end points. Conferences
