| A Hitchhikers Guide to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) |
draft-ietf-sip-hitchhikers-guide-01
Abstract
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the subject of numerous specifications that have been produced by the IETF. It can be difficult to locate the right document, or even to determine the set of Request for Comments (RFC) about SIP. Don't Panic! This specification serves as a guide to the SIP RFC series. It lists the specifications under the SIP umbrella, briefly summarizes each, and groups them into categories.

SIP Basics – What is SIP and SIP Trunking?
Before jumping into the deep end of the pool, an introduction to SIP and SIP Trunking is important. SIP-Session Initiation Protocol is a "signaling" system for connecting, monitoring and disconnecting connections across the internet. A SIP Trunk is a network interface device that recognizes SIP signals and can process these signals to other SIP devices. SIP Trunking is provided by a Softswitch or SBC-Session Border Controller which provides, among other things, signal processing, protocol conversion, transcoding conversion, call routing, QoS-Quality of Service, AAA-Authorization, Authentication and Accounting functions as well as switching control interface to and from gateways.

| SIP, RTP, AND XMPP IN THE EMERGING REAL-TIME INTERNET |
Complementary Technologies for Next-Generation Solutions
Since large-scale commercialization of the Internet began in the early 1990s, its dominant applications have been the World Wide Web and email. Although they have been augmented by some dynamic additions, the Web and email are essentially static, pull, or asychronous technologies: a user requests a Web page or his or her mail, a Web or mail server provides the relevant file or files, and a browser or email client presents the results to the user. By contrast, the emerging breed of next-generation applications are driven by more dynamic, push, or real-time technologies: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video conferencing, collaborative editing, shared whiteboarding, multiplayer gaming, instant messaging (IM), chat, and just-intime content feeds are good examples.
