Product Description

Product Description

This book helps readers to see SIP in a broad communications context, assess what SIP can do and deliver, evaluate SIP's fit with other standards and systems, and plan new SIP-enabled services. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the signalling protocol that will deliver IP multimedia services for the third generation of mobile systems. It will merge together the cellular and Internet worlds. It will provide ubiquitous access to the services it enables, and make us a truly mobile population for the first time. These are not small claims, which might explain why some people have started looking to SIP as an all-purpose solution to building the telecom future. In fact, SIP is a powerful but limited protocol, with a well-defined scope.This book describes it in the context its framers intended, and meticulously explains how to use it as a transformative tool for telecom services. Written by one of the earliest contributors to SIP development in the IETF, "SIP Demystified" takes a long look at the "what's" and "why's" of today's most talked-about protocol, helping readers to move past the buzz, get poised for 3G, and start developing tomorrow's applications. You must read this book if: you're a telecom engineer, manager, or developer who wants to survive professionally in a converged world; you want a smooth transition from switched circuits to the connectionless paradigm; you want to be first to market with SIP services; you want to know how SIP interacts with other protocols; you need to find out what architectures support SIP; you have questions about QoS, security, and authentication; you want to evaluate SIP products, such as gateways, proxy servers, application servers, SIP phones, instant messaging, and presence applications; you're an industry analyst predicting and rating coming hot products and services; and, you're a curious noncombatant who can't get enough insider details on how the newest technologies work. "SIP Demystified" gives you jargon-free explanations of the concepts that set SIP apart from other protocols and the reasons the standard was drafted - so you can decide what to do with it.

From the Back Cover

SEE SIP IN A BROAD COMMUNICATIONS CONTEXT


ASSESS WHAT SIP CAN DO AND DELIVER


EVALUATE SIP's FIT WITH OTHER STANDARDS AND SYSTEMS


PLAN NEW SIP-ENABLED SERVICES



The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the signalling protocol that will deliver IP multimedia services for the third generation of mobile systems. It will merge together the cellular and Internet worlds. It will provide ubiquitous access to the services it enables, and make us a truly mobile population for the first time. These are not small claims, which might explain why some people have started looking to SIP as an all-purpose solution to building the telecom future.


In fact, SIP is a powerful but limited protocol, with a well-defined scope. This book describes it in the context its framers intended, and meticulously explains how to use it as a transformative tool for telecom services. Written by one of the earliest contributors to SIP development in the IETF, SIP DEMYSTIFIED takes a long look at the "what's" and "why's" of today's most talked-about protocol, helping readers to move past the buzz, get poised for 3G, and start developing tomorrow's applications.

- You want to be first to market with SIP services

- You want to know how SIP interacts with other protocols

- You need to find out what architectures support SIP

Format:Paperback
Perhaps Johan Silvander bought the wrong book. The Foreword (by Dr Jonathan Rosenberg, no less) states that this is not a book for developers or engineers. But for the broader audience for whom this book is intended it provides a thorough and refreshingly clear description of how SIP works and its place in the world of IP telephony. The introductory section on Circuit-Switched Networks provides an excellent contextual reference to the Packet Switching sections which follow. In fact the whole book follows a logical progression so that everything is set in context. It is copiously illustrated.

This book explains SIP in a simple way but maybe to simlpe. The lack of real world examples and some times over simplified theoretical examples is the difference between 4 and 3 stars

Skip the first half 14 July 2002
By John Orton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book covered too many points on the spectrum. The first half goes over everything BUT SIP. Most people who want to learn the generic SIP structure already know how a simple telephone and data network operates.

This takes a little too long to get the the "meat" but from there on gives a pretty good detail of the SIP format for anyone looking at understanding the basic SIP code format.

As a fundamentals book for anyone wanting to start learning SIP programming it would be a good reference to have on the shelf. Skip the first half though.

Buy, but double check first that this is what you are looking for 22 Dec 2007
By Pablo Alsina - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good book on SIP. Bought it to expand our knowledge of SIP in an Asterisk enviroment.

The initial introduction is a bit too-long. I think that when you buy a book on SIP, you already know IP telephony and alikes works.

Before buying, keep in mind that the book is on SIP, generally speaking, and SIP is used on lots of places, not only on Internet/IP telephony.

Well written for absolute beginners 6 April 2007
By Rao Nasir Khan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a great book for absolute beginners. If you have already read the SIP RFC(s) then this book is clearly not for you, on the other hand if you are an engineer beginning to learn SIP then this could provide a great introduction.

The first few chapters are not about SIP but about telecom, VoIP in general and IETF process. I found that quite useful too.

After having read this book you will be able to understand RFC 3261 much better. This is a fast read, I finished this book in a day when I read it several years ago. This could also be a whirlwind refresher for someone who had once worked on SIP but now wants to brush up for a sales meeting tommorow.
