Product Description

--Henning Schulzrinne, Professor, Columbia University

Since its birth in 1996, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has grown up. As a richer, much more robust technology, SIP today is fully capable of supporting the communication systems that power our twenty-first century work and life.

This second edition handbook has been revamped to cover the newest standards, services, and products. You'll find the latest on SIP usage beyond VoIP, including Presence, instant messaging (IM), mobility, and emergency services, as well as peer-to-peer SIP applications, quality-of-service, and security issues--everything you need to build and deploy today's SIP services.

This book will help you
* Work with SIP in Presence and event-based communications
* Handle SIP-based application-level mobility issues
* Develop applications to facilitate communications access for users with disabilities
* Set up Internet-based emergency services
* Explore how peer-to-peer SIP systems may change VoIP
* Understand the critical importance of Internet transparency
* Identify relevant standards and specifications
* Handle potential quality-of-service and security problems

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Internet Communications Using SIP (Hardcover) I'll keep it short and sweet. I am one of the authors of SIP and of many of its related technologies that are discussed in this book. As such, I am frequently asked by people how they can quickly understand the benefits of SIP technology, why it is important to them, and what it can enable. The answer is simple - read the Sinnreich/Johnston book. The book helps you understand how SIP, its extensions, and related technologies all fit together, and why SIP is revolutionizing communications. This is a fabulous piece of work, written by two recognized leaders. I highly recommend it.
