VoIP SIP Phone
sponsored by VOCAL Technologies, Ltd.
Product Description
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences. SIP is text-encoded and highly extensible and may be extended to accommodate features and services such as call control services, mobility, interoperability with existing telephony systems.

SIP phone invitations are used to create sessions carry session descriptions that allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types. SIP makes use of elements called proxy servers to help route requests to the user's current location, authenticate and authorize users for services, implement provider call-routing policies, and provide features to users. SIP also provides a registration function that allows users to upload their current locations for use by proxy servers.
