SIP – Session Initiation Protocol

Course description

The Session Initiation Protocol – SIP was developed to create and handle multimedia sessions between different applications. Due to the inherit flexibility, combined with its simplicity and scalability, SIP was chosen by 3GPP as the protocol to be used for IMS.The training Session Initiation Protocol – SIP, is a combines theory with exercises to cover both the fundamental and advanced features and functions of SIP.The History of SIP, the protocol structure, the states and the more advanced functions and features such as messaging, SDP and security are explained.Other topics covered are TCP/IP with related DNS, NAPTER, message forwarding and SIP session management.Furthermore, SIP state handling, SIP extensions, SIP Security, the SIP services, and the use of SIP in the classic telephony and IMS are described.

Target audience

The target group for this course are software developers, software testing engineers, multimedia operators, developers and other personnel working with either fixed or mobile networks and who need in-depth technical knowledge about SIP.
