Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a peer-to-peer, multimedia signaling protocol developed in the IETF
(IETF RFC 3261). Session Initiation Protocol is ASCII-based. It resembles HTTP, and it reuses existing
IP protocols (such as DNS and SDP) to provide media setup and tear down. See
for more information.
For router configuration information under SIP, see the
chapter of
Cisco IOS
SIP Configuration Guide
.
Voice gateways provide voice security through SIP enhancements within the Cisco IOS Firewall. SIP
inspect functionality (SIP packet inspection and detection of pin-hole openings) is provided, as well as
protocol conformance and application security. The user is given more granular control on the policies
and security checks applied to SIP traffic, and capability to filter out unwanted messages. For more
information, see
“Cisco IOS Firewall: SIP Enhancements: ALG and AIC”
