1.2SIP Overview

SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol used on the Mediant 2000 for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions can include Internet telephone calls, media announcements and conferences.

SIP invitations are used to create sessions and carry session descriptions that enable participants to agree on a set of compatible media types. SIP uses 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 enables users to upload their current locations for use by proxy servers. SIP, on the Mediant 2000, complies with the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) RFC 3261 (refer to http://www.ietf.org).
