SPAM, defined as sending unsolicited messages to someone in bulk, might be a problem on SIP open-wide deployed networks. The responsibility for filtering or blocking calls can belong to different elements in the call flow and may depend on various factors. This document defines an authorization based policy language that allows end users to upload anti-SPIT policies to intermediaries, such as S...

In this work, Session Initiation Protocol model is established by using Timed Colored Petri Nets (TCPN). SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a protocol developed to assist in providing advanced telephony services across the Internet. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the quasi-standard for VoiceoverInternet Protocol (VoIP) communications. SIP is based on a client-server infrastr...

For Internet-centric usage, the number of SIP-required standards for presence and IM and audio/video communications can be drastically smaller than what has been published by using only the rendezvous and session-initiation capabilities of SIP. The simplification is achieved by avoiding the emulation of telephony and its model of the intelligent network. ’Simple SIP’ relies on powerful computin...

SIP is a call control and signalling protocol that was adopted by the 3GPP to deliver IP multimedia services to the mobile network. Cross platform IP-telephony service creation is a challenging task. Although, the emergence of JAIN-SIP has reinforced the development and implementation of platform-independent IP-telephony services, the development of advanced cross-platform SIP (Session Initiati...

This paper deals with a testing method suitable for SIP infrastructure. The performance testing is an issue of research and no standardized methodology has been adopted yet. We present the main ideas of the methodology that allows for testing the keystone of SIP based infrastructure – the SIP Server – in both SIP Proxy and B2BUA (Back to Back User Agent) configurations. Our methodology has its ...

Developers of SIP mostly concentrated on making SIP to do what no other protocol can do. In a way they failed to consider the weaknesses and dangers. From this realization we did a study on the weaknesses of SIP and SIP signaling in Wireless Networks and Services. From our study we identified Delay and Security as the most severe problems, which we discuss in this paper.

This specification defines a load-control event package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It allows SIP entities to distribute load-filtering policies to other SIP entities in the network. The load-filtering policies contain rules to throttle calls from a specific user or based on their source or destination domain, telephone number prefix. The mechanism helps to prevent signaling over...

The next generation communication system will provide high quality multimedia service in a more flexible and intelligent manner. In this paper, we propose a new SIP over MPLS network architecture to achieve this goal. To integrate SIP protocol with the traffic engineering function of MPLS network seamlessly and facilitate SIP call setup, the SIP-MPLS traffic aggregation server (TA server) is hi...

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a text-based protocol for initiating and managing communication sessions. The protocol is extended by the SIP-events notification framework to provide subscriptions and notifications of SIP events. One example of such event notification mechanism is presence, which is expressed in XML documents called presence documents. SIP can be compressed by using Si...
