Introduction
• The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an
application-layer control (signaling)
protocol for creating, modifying and
terminating sessions with one or more
participants.
• Include Internet multimedia conferences,
Internet telephone calls and multimedia
distribution.
Introduction (con’d)
• Interoperability
– Between Multiple Equipment Vendors
• Client-Server Model
• Extensibility
– Text-based Encoding
• Transport Independence
– UDP or TCP
SIP Components
• User Agents
– Being end systems that act on behalf of a user
• Clients(UAC) to initiate a SIP request and
servers(UAS) to receive the request and return
responses
• Servers
– Proxy
– Redirect
– Registrar: tracking user locations

Addressing and Naming
• The entities addressed by SIP are users at
hosts (SIP URL)
– email-like identifier of the form user@host
• Examples
– sip:kehung@vc.cs.nthu.edu.tw
– sip:operator@cs.columbia.edu
Locating
• Server
– IP address
– name@domain-> DNS
• User
– Proxy server
• It can send the request in sequence or in parallel to the
locations listed.
– Redirect server
• It can return a response with the list placed in contact headers.
• Then the client can send directly to the uses location.
SIP Messages
• Two kinds of SIP messages
– Request and Response
• The generic-message format
– Start-line
• Method, SIP Version,...
– Headers
– An Empty Line
• Indicating the end of the header fields
– Message Body
• Session Description Protocol (SDP) : Optional
Header Fields
• General
– Apply to both request and response messages
• Entity
– Define information about the message body
• Request
– Allow the client to pass additional information about
the request
• Response
– Allow the server to pass additional information about
the response

Request Method
• INVITE
– The user is being invited to participate in a session.
• ACK
– The client has received a final response to an INVITE.
• BYE
– The client wishes to release the call.
• CANCEL
– It cancels a pending request (not completed request).
• REGISTER
– It conveys the user’s location information to a SIP server.
Request Example

SIP Services
• Similar to the Intelligent Network (IN)
services
– Call Transfer, Call Forwarding, Conference
Calling, User Mobility…
SDP
• Session Description Protocol
• It includes:
–
–
–
–
Session Name and purpose
Time (the session is active)
The media comprising the session
How to receive those media (e.g. addresses, ports,
formats and so on).
• Additional information can be
– The bandwidth to be used by the conference
