CONNECTING THE WORLD WITH APPLICATIONS
Two Key Components - Servers
Proxy Server
Heart of SIP network which contains all service logic
Redirect Server
Returns routing information to the initiating endpoint
Registration
Registration enables subscriber mobility

CONNECTING THE WORLD WITH APPLICATIONS
SIP Is Interoperable
2 Successful Bake-offs
15 companies
Began with basic call set up (2 Vendors)
Elevated testing to more advanced features such as; authenticated
registrations, multi-hop proxy and media transport
Communication Between Endpoints
Two vendor demo - PingTel
Moving Forward with Interop Testing
Bake-off needs to focus on three-way testing between vendors to better
model the needs of a commercial network

CONNECTING THE WORLD WITH APPLICATIONS
SIP is Scalable
SIP Scales to the Internet
HTTP server comparison
Documented SIP Performance Exists
Ability to scale to 500,000 BHCA
Moving Forward with Scalability
Develop performance benchmark
Continued SIP performance from multiple vendors to eliminate any
speculation that SIP is ready for deployment NOW

CONNECTING THE WORLD WITH APPLICATIONS
SIP is Extendable
SIP-T - SIP for Telephony Interworking
SIP for intra-softswitch communications
Allows for the bridging of the PSTN and IP networks
CPL - Call Processing Language
Network edge service creation
Allows for the Proxy Server to handle service requests
DCS - Distributed Call State
SIP for cable telephony
Allows for service intelligence to be decentralized
