4 SIP (rfc3261) is a signalling protocol that initiates, modifies and
5 terminates multimedia sessions. libosip is implement the transaction
6 layer of the SIP protocol. SIP is a replacement for H323 which is
7 close to MAIL and SMTP for both format and the transport protocol
10 SIP is mainly used by IP telephony applications. Some applications
11 using SIP already exist: partysip a SIP proxy server (registrar and
12 routing server) and linphone, a SIP User Agent (softphone) will allow
13 you to access any other SIP user in the world.
15 libosip can be used to implement any kind of applications that
16 need to establish sessions: ip phones is the best example but it
17 could also be the setup of a game sessions or whatever you want.
