Summary & Outlook
SIP in general
› Developed by the IETF
› Released 1999 (RFC 2543)
› 2002 released RFC 3261 (improvement based on RFC

2543)
› Establish/Handles connections/sessions between users
› Uses the IP Network
Functionality
› Five main functions
1. User location
2. User availability
3. User capabilities
4. Session setup
5. Session management
Network
› User agents
› Proxy server
› Redirect server
› Registrar server
› URI
User agents
› Endpoints of SIP network
› User products or gateways (between IP and Core network)
› UA consists of UAC (UA client) and UAS (UA server)
› Client sends messages
› Server receives messages and handles them
Proxy servers
› Forwards incoming requests
› Forwards request to the receiver or to another proxy server
› Proxy server cannot modify the main(important) part of the

message
Proxy Server
Redirect server
› Counterpart of proxy server
› Also handles incoming request
› But redirect server cannot forward, it can answer!
› Sends an answer to the UA with the requested contact

information
Redirect Server
Registrar server
› Redirect and proxy server need to know the location of any

UA
› Registrar server handles incoming request

1. Add/Delete an user on the location service (database)
2. Send contact information
URI
› Uniform Resource Indicator
› SIP addresses are URI’s
› Example:
1. sip:heinz@random.com
2. sips:00148492395@random.com
SIP – Request Messages
› INVITE – starts SIP session; establishes connection

› REGISTER – register on location server; get registrations
› BYE – cancels current session; (hang up)
› ACK – Acknowledge response message after INVITE
› CANCEL – cancels INVITE until response message arrived
› OPTIONS – checks availability and ability
SIP – Response Messages
› 50 types in 6 classes
› 1xx – provisional response; less important

› 2xx – successful message
› 3xx – redirection message; call not successful; alternative
› 4xx – request failure; error in SIP message
› 5xx – server error; service not available; version not
supported; message too long for server
› 6xx – global error; communication partner is busy

› Based on xml scenarios
› Adjustable call rates
› shows statistics and errors

› Host applications
› Application server can act as:

– Proxy server
– UA (mailbox, …)
