SIP

The  European  Broadcast  Union  (EBU)  is  promoting  the  interoperability  of  audio
codecs  for  any  manufacturer.  For  this  purpose  the  use  and  the  application  of  a
subset  of  the  Internet  Protocols  has  been  proposed.  This  effort  will  allow  to
setup  in  a  friendly  way  audio  streaming  communications  between  several
vendors of equipment.

The deployment of SIP Protocol Servers among the network  will support  calling
remote  parties  just  by  invoking  their  network  name  regardless  of  the  actual
