From VoIP to Unified Communications and WebRTC
Calls are started by means of the methods INVITE together with SDP (Session Description Protocol) which carry the information necessary to allow the endpoints of the calls to exchange audio in form of RTP (Real Time Protocol) packets.
Let’s see a typical call dialog: Continue reading “SIP INVITE method”
Media is another vital component of a Unified Communication system. Once signaling is in place and working between two endpoints, information about media capabilities can be transferred, eventually allowing for streaming audio, making video calls, or exchanging other information.
In this blog article we will analyze what technologies are used to transfer information about available media between endpoints.
SDP (Session Description Protocol) is a format for describing streaming media initialization parameters standardized by IETF in 1998.
What follows is the Session Description fields usage and an example:
