Session Initiation Protocol Overview
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard for
Like other Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an

SIP Capabilities
SIP provides these capabilities:
•Determines the availability of the target endpoint. If a call cannot be completed because the target endpoint is unavailable, SIP determines whether the called party is already on the phone or did not answer in the allotted number of rings. SIP then returns a message indicating why the target endpoint was unavailable.
•Determines the location of the target endpoint. SIP supports address resolution, name mapping, and call redirection.
