VI. More Information
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIP Router (sip-router) is an industrial-strength, free VoIP server based
|
|
on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP RFC3261).
|
|
It is engineered to power IP telephony and presence infrastructures up to large
|
|
scale. The server keeps track of users, sets up VoIP sessions, relays instant
|
|
messages and creates space for new plug-in applications. Its proven interoperability
|
|
guarantees seamless integration with components from other vendors, eliminating the
|
|
risk of a single-vendor trap. It has successfully participated in various
|
|
interoperability tests in which it worked with the products
|
|
of other leading SIP vendors.
|
|
|
|
The SIP Router enables a flexible plug-in model for new applications: Third parties
|
|
can easily link their plug-ins with the server code and provide thereby advanced and
|
|
customized services.
|
|
|
|
Its performance and robustness allows it to serve millions of users and accommodate needs
|
|
of very large operators. With a $3000 dual-CPU, the SIP Express Router is able to power
|
|
IP telephony services in an area as large as the Bay Area during peak hours.
|
|
|
|
The SIP Router is extremely configurable to allow the creation of various routing and
|
|
admission policies as well as setting up new and customized services. Its configurability
|
|
allows it to serve many roles: network security barrier, presence server, application server,
|
|
or PSTN gateway guard (Session Border Controller) for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Feature List
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
See http://www.sip-router.org/ for an updated feature list.
|
|
Note that as features easily are added as modules, changes can occur quickly.
|
|
|
|
Most of SIP-router's features are implemented as plug-in modules. See
|
|
our web site for a current list.
|
|
|
|
III. Getting started
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL document will guide you through the installation of sip-router.
|
|
SIP-router is composed of a core and additional modules. For each module
|
|
there is a README with documentation on how to configure and use the
|
|
module. These are available in each modules source code directory as well
|
|
as on the sip-router.org web site.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you continue with reading README-MODULES and then the
|
|
document named INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
IV. About sip-router.org
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The SIP Router project was started during the fall of 2008 by developers from
|
|
the OpenSER project, recently renamed to Kamailio.org and SIP Express Router (SER)
|
|
from iptel.org. SIP Router is the result of a merge of the code base and years
|
|
of experience from both developer teams.
|
|
|
|
See http://www.sip-router.org/ for the story of SER, OpenSER/Kamailio and sip-router.org.
