Proxy,

 

 

 

In SIP, an intermediary entity that acts as both a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. A proxy server primarily plays the

Proxy Server

 

 

 

role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a request is sent to another entity “closer” to the targeted user. Proxies are also useful for enforcing policy

 

 

 

 

(for example, making sure a user is allowed to make a call). A proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites specific parts of a request message before forwarding it.

 

 

 

 

While a proxy can set up calls between SIP endpoints, it does not participate in the call once it is set up.
