We have a “new” network
Internet
PIM

IP Phone
Operator Network
SOHO LAN

Everyone has a connection…
But do we use it for person to person communication?
VoIP as we have seen it…

But no connectivity

Wouldn’t that be fine?

We have SIP – Session Initiation Protocol
An Internet Standard
IETF RFC 2543, replaced by new RFC 3261
Used for real time person to person IP Communication
VoIP, IP Telephony
Audio, Video, Data Collaboration
Presence, Instant Messaging
Lots of activity, ongoing work and development

Is black telephony all we want?
“We need QoS of PSTN…”
3 kHz bandwith?
Video?
Presence?
draft-ietf-simple-presence-07.txt
Instant Messaging?
RFC3428, December 2002
And more…

Microsoft is pushing – New RTC is SIP-based
Windows Messenger 4.6
and later has SIP-mode
 Presence & IM
 Voice & Video (XP)
 Dial to phone
 Rich SIP APIs
Greenwich includes SIP
server with API (3Q3)
 Applications will arise
10:s of millions of RTC
(SIP) users within a year

The Next Big Usage of the Internet!
SMTP created Email
HTTP created the Web
SIP will create IP Communication
person to person!

So, why don’t we just connect?
SIP
Server
Internet
Status until recently:
SIP is the Protocol for IP Communication
Person to Person,
SIP/PSTN
Gateway
PIM
BUT IT DOES DSL
NOT REACH THE EDGE!

What is the difference?
Typical Internet protocol (SMTP, HTTP…)
SERVER
HOST
Internet
SIP (and H.323…) connects person to person
PERSON
PERSON
Internet
Locate the person - Set up a session - Open real time media streams

SIP Firewall Problems
Firewall Problems:
Sessions initiated from outside
the firewall
- OK, open port 5060, but…
Media streams on dynamically
allocated port numbers
- Ooops…  !
Even with public
IP addresses inside

SIP NAT/PAT Problems
NAT & PAT Problems:
Where is the device?
- Registration/location function
Private IP addresses and ports
in SIP messages
- Rewrite with globally routable
addresses
IP address and port of media
stream has to be modified
- NAT engine has to be
dynamically controlled

Worse with private
IP addresses inside
12
Suggested Solutions
Dynamically controlled Firewall/NATs
Midcom: By Firewall Control Proxy (IETF work)
uPnP: By the client (Windows)
SIP aware Firewall/NATs (SIP Proxy + Registrar)
General, handles complex scenarios
[Intertex (SOHO), Ingate (enterprise), …]
SIP aware Firewall/NATs (SIP ALG – non Proxy)
TLS not possible
STUN - Can cope with certain types of existing NATs
SIP clients need to get STUN into their SIP stacks
Requires STUN servers on the net, RTCP is lost
Tunnelling - Connects SIP clients to an operator or a corporate LAN
Requires ALG for each client with NATed address
Tunnels by IPSec or proprietary
