基于SIP的VoIP相关协议、协议栈及应用

相关协议

SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)协议是IETF多媒体数据和控制体系结构的一个组成部分，是一个基于文本的协议。

SIP协议的出发点是想借鉴Web业务成功的经验，以现有的Internet为基础来构架IP电话业务网，因此SIP有着与H．323完全不同的设计思想。它是一个分散式的协议，它将网络设备的复杂性向网络边缘推，使核心网络仍是一个“Best Effort″的传送通道,这就是SIP系统中核心网络服务器可以不保留状态（stateless）的原因（SIP消息本身含有一个呼叫的所有信息）。因为核心网络服务器需要处理大量的呼叫，不保留每一呼叫的状态，将大大提高系统的处理能力，为组建大规模的IP电话业务网奠定了基础，而边缘网络服务器可以是有状态的（stateful）。这种stateless和stateful结合的模式既可以充分发挥ＳＩＰ的特点（如用户定位和查找）又保留了Internet无法连接数据传送的设计思路。相对于H.323而言，SIP协议更简单，易于实现，易于扩展以支持智能用户设备和实现一些高级功能，并支持终端的移动性，3GPP已经要求3G的终端设备需要支持SIP协议，因此尽管现在市场上还是H.323的设备占据相当大的份额，但SIP设备前景看好。

SIP主要相关协议有：

RFC3261(2000年发布版本): SIP: Session Initiation Protocol

RFC2543(99年发布版本): SIP: Session Initiation Protocol

SDP: SDP: Session Description Protocol

用于描述呼叫双方媒体信息的协议。

在SIP应用中的Invite方法及其200ok回应以及Options方法中用来描述

RTP负载类型、地址及端口信息

　

相关协议有：

RTP/RTCP协议：

RFC3550(2003年发布，现为标准草案)

RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications
RFC1889(1996年发布)

RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications

RFC1890:

etc.

　

RTSP协议： Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)

• SJPhone: SIP and H.323 Softphone for Windows, Linux and PocketPC from: http://www.sjlabs.com/products.html.

The configuration for SIP is a little bit tweaky. And there must not be another SIP client running on port 5060 or the SJPhone won't work.

• instant xpressa: The software version of the xpressa SIP phone from pingtel: http://www.pingtel.com/appdev.jsp;

A really impressive SIP phone with a lot of features. Can be extended with Java programs, but no free version available.

• xphone: A SIP client for Windows and Windows CE, http://xphone.xten.net/.

The beta version is free.

• SIPPS: SIP softphone with answering machine and a lot of features, but, IMHO, a not very intuitive user interface, which should be better in the next version (try it yourself).http://www.sippstar.com/en/index.html.
