A Guide to VoIP: The SIP protocol
In order for the devices (telephones, switchboards etc.) used for making calls over the internet to communicate with each other properly, they must use the same protocol. The reference standard in this field is the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol. This manages the communication between two parties, and its capacity grows in proportion to the number of people that make use of the service. The protocol is widely used in the business world and it also allows the transfer of audio and video files. SIP has therefore overtaken the much slower H323. This protocol can be used with various systems, making it accessible to everyone. ATAs, and personal computers, which are very similar to VoIP telephones, convert electrical signals into IP data.
This type of protocol can be used for client servers, it can be extended, and it does not depend on the transport sector. It can support media identification, call notification, session transference, and invocation of services. Usually it is combined with the IETF protocol for complete multimedia capability. In reality, the scheme reproduces an endpoint, and when it is used as a server it listens to requests and performs them if possible.
