P2PSIP and the IMS: Can they complement each other?

June 2008, NXTComm/Las Vegas

Peer-to-Peer Sesssion Initiation Protocol (P2PSIP) provides a conceptually simple, standards-based mechanism to distribute functionality, leveraging the power of clusters of devices, rather than a single centralized box.  At the heart of P2PSIP is a notion of providing a distributed "fabric" of devices that are able to provide these same services and functionality with little or no centralized infrastructure. P2P systems do not eliminate work that would be done by a centralized device in traditional client-server architecture, but rather distribute that work differently, pushing the functionality to the edge. As a result, there some advantages to a P2P architecture (for example improved scalability and reliability) and some areas where a conventional CS system may be better (for example number of hops involved to route a message).

Euroweb deploys SIP Thor

Euroweb Romania upgraded its SIP voice network (Eurovoice) to a distributed, multiple-site architecture located in three cities, Bucharest, Timisoara and Iasi. By deploying this self-organizing architecture is now possible to increase the availability of the provided voice services, by eliminating downtimes related to communications' packet-loss or Internet connectivity failures. The voice traffic can now be automatically rerouted between any of the mentioned location, in a short notice and without major engineering works which were necessary prior to this upgrade.

AG Projects exhibits at SIP 2008

The 9th edition of the International SIP conference will take place in Paris on January 29 to February 1 st, 2008 . The event will be jointly organized with the Triple Play Showcase (TVoDSL 2008 and the second edition of the Mobile TV World Congress) . SIP has evolved to become not only the protocol of choice for deploying enhanced voice and data services, it has also become the future choice of how service providers will trade voice traffic for basic calls and enhanced services. The International SIP conference has followed this trend for height years now, as the most important worldwide event entirely dedicated to this technology. Uper Side is expecting more than 300 delegates in January 2008.
