The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a protocol specified by the IETF. The base specification provides registration, presence and session capabilities. These capabilities are often combined to provide Voice Over IP (VoIP) functionality, but the are not limited to any particular media type.
There is a growing market for convergent applications built on ESBs. These applications need to seamlessly integrate media capabilities from communications networks. Building such applications is challenging because they must bridge disparate protocols and network types. The
SIP Binding Component (SIP BC) delivers SIP capabilities directly to a JBI container enabling the development of convergent applications.
