5. www.nmscommunications.com Slide 5 SIP Infrastructure Components User Agent Consists of User Agent Client (to make requests) and User Agent Server (to handle requests) SIP phone, PDA, PSTN gateway, media server Proxy servers Aggregate and route — resolve addresses with DNS Location servers Updated by User Agent registration; queried by proxies in routing

6. www.nmscommunications.com Slide 6 SIP Messages Message types Requests Responses Every request has one or more responses Transaction = request + responses Dialog (or “call leg”) analogous to PSTN call

7. www.nmscommunications.com Slide 7 Messages — Requests INVITE— initiate a session ACK— acknowledge a session PRACK— provisional acknowledge CANCEL— cancel INVITE request BYE— terminate a session REGISTER— register user OPTIONS— query capabilities SUBSCRIBE — subscribe to a service NOTIFY— service notification INFO— miscellaneous info REFER— refer one user to another (transfer)
