Introduction

• Need for comprehensive multimedia control
  architecture for the internet
• Synchronous voice or multimedia communication
  between two or more parties, requires a means
  for prospective communications partners to find
  each other and to signal the other party their
  desire to communicate IPTelephony Signalling
• Can be employed in Phone calls, multiparty
  conferences, video-on-demand, virtual
  presentations

SIP over H.323

• Complexity
• Scalability
• Extensibility
• SIP is a powerful, flexible, simple and scalable
  protocol that could serve as a real foundation
  for true wide area Internet telephony

5
Protocols

• Session Initiation Protocol for signaling
• Reservation Protocol for reserving network
  resources
• Real-Time protocol Transporting real-time data
  and providing QoS feedback
• Real-Time Streaming protocol for controlling
  delivery of streaming media
• Session Advertising Protocol advertising
  multimedia sessions via multicast
• Session Description Protocol to describe
  multimedia sessions

6
Session Initiation Protocol

• Application layer protocol for creating,
  modifying and terminating multimedia sessions
• Supports unicast, mesh and multicast conferences,
  and combination of these modes
• Similar to HTTP, Client-Server protocol, and
  text-based
• Provides reliability without assuming anything
  about the lower layer transport protocols

7
Components

• User Agents
• User Agent Client
• User Agent Server
• Network Servers
• Registration Servers
• Proxy Servers
• Stateful Proxy Server
• Stateless Proxy Servers
• Redirect Servers

8
Parser

• Sip messages are sent as text (Unicode
  characters)
• The Sip message grammar is given in the augmented
  BNF-form (RFC 2543)
• Syntax tree builder (JTBGJ)
• Parser Generator (Javacc)

Protocol Building blocks
Location Server
Registration Server
Registration Server
User Agent A
User Agent B
Proxy Server
Bs current location

Registration

• SIP Client sends REGISTER message to the
  Registration server.
• Indicates the physical location
• REGISTER messages can be multicast
  (sip.mcast.net 224.0.1.75)
• Serves as a simple locator service.
• REGISTER sipbelltell.com SIP/2.0
• Via SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.belltell.com
• From sipwatson_at_belltell.com
• To sipwatson_at_belltel.com
• CSeq 1 REGISTER
• Call-ID 70710_at_saturn.belltell.com
• Contact sipwatson_at_globe..belltell.com3890
• Expires 7200

11
Name Translation, UserLocation

• SIP Addressing by a Sip URL (user_at_hostport)
• Resolves host name through
• DNS server
• Checks if domain name refers to a host
• Mail exchange host
• User at a specific host derived through zero or
  more translations
• If called party is not at SIP server, can be
  directed or proxied (personal mobility)

12
Session invitation

• Caller sends the request directly to UAS or to
  the nearest proxy server
• Proxy server uses the locator service to
  determine the next hop server
• Proxy forwards the request towards the callee
• Redirect server simply returns the alternate
  addresses
• INVITE sipwatson_at_ieee.org SIP/2.0
• Via SIP/2.0/UDP c.belltell.com
• From sipa.g.bell_at_belltell.com
• To sipwatson_at_ieee.org
• Call-ID 23534_at_c.belltell.com
• Cseq 1 INVITE

13
Session Invitation (cont.)

• If there are more than one locations to be
  contacted, the proxy forks the requests to all
  the locations.
• The callees response is propagated backwards the
  servers ( uses the Via header )
• Stateful Proxy maintains the state according to
  the Call-ID. So forwards responses accordingly
• The caller sends ACK request following the
  response.

14
Feature negotiation

• Allows a group of end systems to agree on the
  media to exchange and their respective parameters
  such as encodings.
• INVITE request has a listing of media types and
  associated encodings that the calling party is
  willing
• Called party responds with a subset of media
  types and encodings that it is willing to use
• Feature changes
• Subsequent INVITE request
• OPTIONS request
