Figure 2: SIP Architecture

SIP Clients

SIP clients include:

• Gateways—Provide call control. Gateways provide many services, the most common being a translation

function between SIP conferencing endpoints and other terminal types. This function includes translation

between transmission formats and between communications procedures. In addition, the gateway also

translates between audio and video codecs and performs call setup and clearing on both the LAN side

and the switched-circuit network side.

• Phones—Can act as either a UAS or UAC. The ATA 191 can initiate SIP requests and respond to requests.

SIP Servers

SIP servers include:

• Proxy server—The proxy server is an intermediate device that receives SIP requests from a client and

then forwards the requests on the client’s behalf. Proxy servers receive SIP messages and forward them

to the next SIP server in the network. Proxy servers can provide functions such as authentication,

authorization, network access control, routing, reliable request retransmission, and security.

• Redirect server—Receives SIP requests, strips out the address in the request, checks its address tables

for any other addresses that may be mapped to the address in the request, and then returns the results of

the address mapping to the client. Redirect servers provide the client with information about the next

hop or hops that a message should take, then the client contacts the next hop server or UAS directly.

• Registrar server—Processes requests from UACs for registration of their current location. Registrar

servers are often colocated with a redirect or proxy server.
