Description: The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).  SIP is a signaling protocol used for controlling multi-media sessions.  It provides a way to establish voice, video and advanced messaging between devices.  Today it is finding new uses in telephony applications, conferencing and instant messaging.  The focus of this course is to understand SIP in depth and how it is used to setup and release calls in a packet network including calls that originate and / or complete in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The student will have a practical understanding of the messaging and the protocol structure, and analysis of the protocol for various services is provided.

 

What You Will Learn: The SIP Protocol course will give the student a basic knowledge of how this signaling protocol is used to setup, modify and tear down multimedia sessions. 

 

Who Will Benefit From This Course: As networks migrate toward packet-based multimedia sessions, this course will be valuable for those individuals responsible for planning, designing, marketing, managing or supporting almost any area of telecommunications.
