Описание: This book ’ s aim is to let readers understand what Internet multimedia
communications are and how they are enabled by using the Session Initiation
Protocol and other related technologies. The approach I have taken in writing
this book has three main characteristics.
First, it is Internet-orientated . That is, it is focused on the Internet technologies,
protocols, and practices for delivering these services. In the last two chapters, it
also touches upon how these Internet technologies can be used in controlled
network scenarios such as those present in telecom operators ’ multimedia
networks. In fact, the bodies involved in the standardization of telecom networks,
such as ETSI or 3GPP, have adopted the ideas coming from the Internet in order
to design the next generation of telecommunication networks.
Second, it follows a fully modern and up-to-date approach where the latest
Internet developments are analyzed and discussed. In addition to providing a
thorough explanation of the basic concepts, it also presents the most recent
proposals for utilization of SIP and related technologies in the remit of multimedia
communications. The book tackles new and innovative technologies and services
such as MSRP, NAT traversal, STUN, ICE, session border controllers, TCP-based media
transport, XCON conferencing framework, media server control, GRUUs, RPID,
latest approaches for RTP security, XCAP, Text over IP, remote call control, fl oor
control, conference control, Fax over IP, enhanced identity management, IMS,
TISPAN next generation networks, voice call continuity, IMS centralized services,
and so forth.
Following a modern approach implies that the book contains not just references
to official standard or informative documents (e.g., Request For Comments), but
also many references to the latest IETF Internet Drafts that represent current
work in progress.
