SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

---------------------



Copyright (c) 2008-2020 AG Projects

Description

-----------



SIP SIMPLE client SDK is a Software Development Kit for easy development of

SIP end-points that support rich media like Audio, Video, Instant Messaging,

File Transfers, Desktop Sharing and Presence.  Other media types can be

easily added by using an extensible high-level API.



The software has undergone in the past years several interoperability tests

at SIPIT (http://www.sipit.net) and today is of industry strength quality.



Background

----------



SIP stands for 'Sessions Initiation Protocol', an IETF standard described by

RFC 3261. SIP is an application-layer control protocol that can establish,

modify and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls

(VoIP). Media can be added to (and removed from) an existing session.



SIP allows the endpoints to negotiate and combine any type of session they

mutually understand like video, instant messaging (IM), file transfer,

desktop sharing and provides a generic event notification system with

real-time publications and subscriptions about state changes that can be

used for asynchronous services like presence, message waiting indicator and

busy line appearance.



Features

--------



The library has cross platform capabilities on Linux OS, Mac OSX and

Microsoft Windows.  The library should work with minimal changes on any

platform that supports C and Python development environments.



The SDK is suitable for building end-points like SIP clients or SIP

Application Servers.  To see what the SDK is capable of, you can try Blink

from http://icanblink.com



General



 * Written in Python

 * Non-blocking asynchronous engine

 * Built-in configuration framework

 * TLS Security for signaling (SIP) and media (MSRP, XCAP)

 * Support for multiple SIP accounts

 * Multiple Media Types per Session (e.g. Video, Audio and IM)

 * Failover support for DNS lookups, SIP and MSRP routing

 * Implements re-INVITEs for adding and removing media streams

 * Automatically handling if IP Address changes

 * Audio conference bridge

 * Wav player and recorder

 * Acoustic Echo Cancelation

 * Answering machine

 * Wide-band Internet audio codecs: Opus and Speex

 * PSTN compatible codecs: G722, G711, iLBC, GSM

 * Video codecs: H.264, VP8



Supported media



 * Audio and Video (RTP/SRTP/ZRTP)

 * Instant Messaging (MSRP and its relay extension)

 * File Transfer (MSRP and its relay extension)

 * Screen Sharing (VNC over MSRP)



All media types can be combined together in the same SIP session.
