  1. Voice over IP (VoIP) Brian Gracely Technical Marketing Engineer

  2. Agenda • Why VoIP? • Comparing & Understanding the VoIP Protocols - H.323 - Skinny - MGCP - SIP • SIP Tutorial • Sample VoIP Applications • Cisco VoIP products

  3. Why VoIP? The Interesting Stuff • Telecommunications Act of 1996 - Deregulation of the Bell networks - Open the competitive markets for Service Providers • Converged Networks - Voice, Video & Data over an IP network - Reduced the costs of managing parallel networks - Allows voice to be an IP “application” • Centralized or distributed architectures - Add features where they are needed

  4. Why VoIP? The Challenging Stuff • Do we need to replicate all the existing PSTN / PBX features? • What’s the right architecture? - Centralized - Distributed - Mix of both • How do we? - Provide better than PSTN QoS - Provide Admission Control - Secure the signaling & media - Meet all the regulatory requirements

  5. Switching Network Open Packet Telephony Open Service Application Layer (JAIN, AIN, TAPI,JTAPI, XML etc.) TDM/Circuit Switch Open/Standard Interface Line Concentration Call Control Connection Control Features Open Call Control Layer (SIP, H.323, MGCP, etc.) Digital Trunk Subsystem Common Channel Signaling Complex Administration Maintenance Billing Open/Standard Interface Standards-Based Packet Infrastructure Layer (IP, ATM)

  8. VoIP Signaling Protocols • H.323 - ITU standard, ISDN-based, distributed topology - 90%+ of all Service Provider VoIP networks - The current interconnect for CallManager to Service Providers - Useful for video applications • Skinny - Centralized Call-Control architecture. - CallManager controls all features. - over 700,000 IP Phones deployed • MGCP - IETF RFC2705 - Centralized Call-Control Architecture - Call-Agents (MGC) & Gateways (MG) • SIP - IETF RFC2543 - Distributed Call-Control - Used for more than VoIP…SIMPLE: Instant Messaging / Presence

  12. Agenda • Why VoIP? How does it work & why is it interesting? • Comparing & Understanding the VoIP Protocols- H.323 - Skinny - MGCP - SIP • SIP Tutorial • Sample VoIP Applications • Cisco VoIP products

  13. Why are we talking about SIP? • Cisco has never met a protocol it didn’t like…. - Customers haven’t chosen 1 protocol to define VoIP • SIP is a very Internet friendly protocol, and Cisco likes Internet friendly stuff…. - SIP reuses a lot of Internet protocols & formatting • Customers still weary about proprietary protocols…. - Skinny works well, but it is proprietary • It’s about the Applications!! - The next “Killer App” is the integration of voice, data, video, IM & Presence… SIP can do this. • Microsoft!! 250 millions desktops might speak SIP soon…. - SIP client will be added to WindowsXP in October

  14. The history of SIP • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is defined via RFC2543 on March 17, 1999. • Additional “feature” drafts have been written to address issues which concern SS7/ISUP handling, QoS, Alerting, DHCP, 3PCC, Firewalls & NAT, etc… • IETF SIP-WG created in September, 1999 • RFC2543bis (additions) created in April 2000. • Vendor interoperability testing done at the semi-annual SIP Bakeoff (8th in August in UK)

  15. The various flavors of SIP • RFC2543 - “vanilla” SIP - the most commonly deployed & developed by commercial vendors • SIP-T - inter Call Agent (MGC) protocol for carrying SS7 / ISUP messaging - basically maps ISUP messaging to a MIME attachment • SIP extension from PacketCable - additions to Security, QoS & Privacy areas

  16. SIP Basics - Architecture I NTELL I GENT SERV I CES Application Services 3pcc CPL eMail CPL LDAP XML Oracle SIP Proxy, Registrar & Redirect Servers SIP SIP SIP PSTN SIP User Agents (UA) CAS or PRI RTP (Media) Legacy PBX

  17. SIP Basics - Architectural Elements • Clients: SIP Phones, Softphones, Gateways, Media Gateway Controllers, PDAs, Robots - User Agent Client (UAC) / User Agent Server (UAS) - Originate & Terminate SIP requests • Typically an endpoint will have both UAC & UAS, UAC for originating requests, and UAS for terminating requests • Servers: - Proxy Server - Redirect Server - Registrar Server

  18. SIP Servers/Services (cont) SIP Servers/ Services LocationDatabase Redirect Registrar “Where is this name/phone#?” 3xx Redirection “They moved, try this address” REGISTER “Here I am” SIP Proxy Proxied INVITE “I’ll handle it for you” INVITE “I want to talk to another UA SIP User Agents SIP User Agents SIP-GW

  19. SIP Methods • Consists of Requests and Responses • Requests (unless mentioned, each has a response) • REGISTER: UA registers with Registrar Server • INVITE: request from a UAC to initiate a session • ACK: confirms receipt of a final response to INVITE • BYE: sent by either side to end a call • CANCEL: sent to end a call not yet connected • OPTIONS: sent to query capabilities outside of SDP • Newly Adopted Methods: • SUBSCRIBE & NOTIFY: used to identify device status / presence. The foundation of SIP IM / Presence (IMPP). • INFO: a means of carrying “data” in a message body• REFER: the mechanism to initiate a Transfer• MESSAGE: the means of carrying “data” for SIP IMPP • Messages contain SIP Headers and Body. Body might be SDP or an attachment or some other application

  20. SIP Addressing • Modeled after mailto URLs. May be a combination of FQDNs or E.164 numbers or both. • Support for Fully-Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) using sip: URLs - sip: “John Doe” <jdoe@cisco.com> • Support for E.164 addresses - sip:14085551234@gateway.com; user=phone • Support for mixed addresses - sip:14085551234@10.1.1.1; user=phone sip:jdoe@10.1.1.1 • Support for E.164 addresses using tel: URLs - tel:14085551234

  21. Basic SIP Call-Flow SIP UA1 SIP UA2 INVITE w/ SDP for Media Negotiation 100 Trying 180/183 Ringing w/ SDP for Media Negotiation MEDIA 200 OK ACK MEDIA BYE 200 OK

  22. Basic SIP Functionality -Call Forking “Contact 1234@10.1.1.1, 1234@10.1.1.2 and 1234@10.1.1.3” Location Database INVITE sip:1234@10.1.1.3 “Where is sip:1-800-GO-CISCO@cisco.com?” INVITE sip:1234@10.1.1.2 Proxy / Redirect Server INVITE sip:1234@10.1.1.1 INVITE sip:1-800-GO-CISCO@cisco.com Forked Calls can be in parallel or sequential. The first phone to answer will get the call, the others will get a CANCEL from the Proxy Server. LOCAL PSTN

  23. Basic SIP Functionality -Call Redirection Location Database “Where is sip:3921234@cisco.com?” 392-1234 “You need to contact 4721111” Proxy / Redirect Server INVITE sip:3921234@cisco.com 3xx Moved Contact: sip:4721111@10.1.1.3 INVITE sip:4721111@10.1.1.3 LOCAL PSTN National PSTN The user at 392-1234 informed the network that he could be reached on his cell-phone at 472-1111

  24. 3rd-Party Call-Control (3pcc) &Back-to-Back UserAgent (B2BUA) A user could manage their communications via a webpage. The webpage would invoke the SIP 3PCC application to create SIP sessions to all parties involved. HTTP post SIP Controller - 3pcc Application INVITE sip:1234 w/o SDP INVITE sip:9194721111 w/ SDP of SIP Phone 18x / 200 OK w/ SDP 18x / 200 OK w/ SDP ACK w/ SDP of SIP Gateway x1234 LOCAL PSTN
