Features: SIP is a signaling protocol that enables the transmission of IP multimedia services in 3G systems. This book provides a detailed introduction to SIP in the context set by its founder, while explaining how it can be used as an innovative tool for telecommunications. Written by one of the earliest SIP pioneers from the IETF, it delves into the most discussed aspects of the SIP protocol—what it is and why the standards for it were drafted. It evaluates what SIP can actually do and what it transmits, assesses its compatibility with other standards and systems, and designs new services that support SIP. The primary readership includes telecommunications engineers, system developers, and SIP service providers.
