Abstract:

 

Thanks to Microsoft, IBM and MCI, among others, SIP (the Session Initiation Protocol) has become a telecom term with widespread recognition. Recently Avaya, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, NEC and others have announced significant SIP products.

 

SIP is now central to all the latest solutions for telephony, ranging from hosted services to vendor-proprietary platforms, from handsets and softphones to open source software. This article highlights these and other recent SIP-related advances.

 

About the author:
