Transcript 05-NEW-SIP-2004-InteropEvent

Public SIP Interoperability Event
»International SIP 2004«
Goals
Combination of private hotstaging and public
interoperability demonstration
 The private event improves
SIP interoperability capabilities
of the evaluated devices.
 The public event showcases
the solution to conference visitors
and confirms that participant is
efficiently addressing SIP
interoperability issues.
MSF Collaboration
“A number of service providers
have recently announced SIPbased voice over IP services,
and many more are about to
follow. This showcase
highlights the forum’s goal to
advance the SIP technology
as part of an open
multiservice architecture.”
Roger Ward, President
SIP Forum Collaboration
“This public multi-vendor
showcase complements the
private SIP Forum test events
and is very important for us to
demonstrate the advancement
of the SIP technology to
network operators in Europe”.
Jay Batson, Chairman
Testplan Design
Participants and EANTC created an individual test
plan for the hotstaging, based on:
 MSF Implementation Agreements
 SIP Forum test suites
 EANTC service provider test experience.

Testplan Contents
Infrastructure and Scalability Tests

 Calls via a Firewall with NAT and STUN
 SIP-to-PSTN Calls
Services and Applications Tests
 Unattended Call Transfer and Unconditional Call
Forwarding
 Codec Negotiation
Security and Robustness Tests
 Digest Proxy Authentication
 Robustness Tests
Private Hotstaging
 Prior to the public show case in January 2004
 Took place at EANTC in Berlin, Germany
 Four days of in-depth,
any-to-any testing
 Result: Internal test report
under NDA
compiled by EANTC
 Public documentation:
White paper

Public Show Case
 Here at the
conference, just
opposite this room
Conclusion I
 advance public SIP multi-vendor interoperability
demonstrations to the next level
 proved that SIP is a mature technology in many areas
and is ready for deployment in a larger scale
 industry forums involved have proactively created
necessary documents and tools to improve multi-vendor
interoperability
 wealth options in SIP standards, ongoing standardization
work and vaguely defined operator requirements may
lead to interoperability issues
 continue interoperability and security verification regularly
Conclusion II
 Future interoperability events focusing carrier
infrastructure will need to evaluate scalability issues,
specifically for media gateways
 While most of the deployed SIP networks are
homogeneous right now — and thus not affected by
interoperability issues — the power of SIP technology in
service provider environments will increase with the
number of vendors committed to interoperability of
common feature sets
