Chapter 38 Configuring Inspection for Voice and Video Protocols
SIP Inspection
SIP is a widely used protocol for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification, and
instant messaging. Partially because of its text-based nature and partially because of its flexibility, SIP
networks are subject to a large number of security threats.
SIP application inspection provides address translation in message header and body, dynamic opening
of ports and basic sanity checks. It also supports application security and protocol conformance, which
enforce the sanity of the SIP messages, as well as detect SIP-based attacks.
