A Scalable Distributed VoIP Conferencing Using SIP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Session Initiation Protocol seems to be the preferred standard for Voice over IP. In this paper, we consider the limitations of existing SIP conferencing methods and propose a distributed architecture using Controllers (SIP Proxy Servers) and Conference Servers which facilitates the control and media handling of a VoIP conference. The Conference Servers are designed on the basis of H.323’s Multipoint Processors and handle the audio part of the conference. We provide conferencing messages on SIP that bring these Controllers and Conference Servers together along with the Clients for scalable conference on the Internet. The schematic of the Proxy Server and Conference Server is presented to aid in implementation. We also explain the mechanism we use to improve the quality of mixed output speech by selecting the streams at the Clients.

A Proposal for Distributed Conferencing on SIP Using Conference Servers
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the de facto standard for Voice over IP implementations. Although this standard does not define conferencing directly, many drafts and papers suggest extensions and solutions to this essential service. In this paper, we first define the issues that are to be considered when building a conference service, and then we motivate our work on some of the limitatio...
متن کاملService oriented architecture for VoIP conferencing
Voice/Video over IP (VoIP) systems to date have been either highly centralized or dependent on the IP multicast in nature. Global Multimedia Collaboration System is a scalable, integrated and service-oriented VoIP conferencing system, based on the XGSP collaboration framework and NaradaBrokering messaging middleware. This system can provide media and session services to heterogeneous endpoints ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Modeling of VoIP Servers: A Linear Programming Approach
The SIP protocol was standardized by the IETF at the application layer for initiating, managing, and terminating multimedia sessions and has been widely used as the main signaling protocol on both the Internet and VoIP networks. Most challenges in this protocol are overload and lack of proper state distribution. These challenges cause a wide range of next-generation network users to face a shar...

In this paper we present work in progress on extending multimedia conferencing standards to scalable, mobile multimedia group support based on SIP initiated Source Specific IP Multicast. We propose extensions of SIP for negotiating SSM sessions. SIP protocol specifications and semantics are compatibly extended without adding new SIPmethods. We will introduce a multimedia communication software ...
متن کاملScalable distributed conference control in heterogeneous peer-to-peer scenarios with SIP
An increasing number of popular conferencing applications operate in a lightweight, infrastructure-independent ad hoc fashion and extend into the mobile realm. These P2P-type systems raise the demand for scalable, adaptive self organization of conferencing in a standard-compliant way. This paper addresses the challenge of distributed conference management with SIP and makes the following two co...
