A Comparison of SIP and H.323 for Internet Telephony
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two standards have recently emerged for signaling and control for Internet Telephony. One is ITU Recommendation H.323, and the other is the IETF Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). These two protocols represent very different approaches to the same problem: H.323 embraces the more traditional circuit-switched approach to signaling based on the ISDN Q.931 protocol and earlier H-series recommendations, and SIP favors the more lightweight Internet approach based on HTTP. In this paper, we compare SIP and H.323 on complexity, extensibility, scalability, and features.

Comparison of H.323 and SIP for IP Telephony Signaling
ABSTRACT Two standards currently compete for the dominance of IP telephony signaling: the H.323 protocol suite by ITU-T, and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) by IETF. Both of these signaling protocols provide mechanisms for call establishment and teardown, call control and supplementary services, and capability exchange. We investigate and compare these two protocols in terms of Functional...
متن کاملInterworking Between SIP/SDP and H.323
There are currently two standards for signaling and control of Internet telephone calls, namely ITU-T Recommendation H.323 and the IETF Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). We describe how a signaling gateway can allow SIP user agents to call H.323 terminals and vice versa. Our solution addresses user registration, call sequence mapping and session description. We also describe and compare variou...
متن کاملPredicting Internet Telephony Call Setup Delay
Internet telephony has been the focus of much recent effort by ITU and IETF standards bodies, with initial, albeit small-scale deployment in progress. While Internet telephony voice quality has been studied, call setup delay has received little attention. This paper outlines a simulation study of Internet Telephony Call Setup delay, based on UDP delay/loss traces. The focus is signaling transpo...
متن کاملA SIP/H.323 Signaling Gateway Implementation for IP Telephony
The Internet has truly become the ubiquitous communication infrastructure, bringing many benefits to the users and making the communication over IP the predominant protocol architecture for data and multimedia transmission (Web). The regular telephone service shall, in a near future, converge to the Internet, giving place to a single integrated voice and data network. IP telephony is growing, f...
متن کاملAn Open Source H.323-SIP Gateway as Basis for Supplementary Service Interworking
IP telephony is currently evolving from a more or less still experimental towards a carrier grade service which has the potential of extensive use both within the Internet as well as in Intranets. Currently we see the two signaling protocol families H.323 and SIP existing and further evolving simultaneously. For both, efforts are done to not only establish basic calls but to enable so called Su...
