SIP trunking

SIP trunking is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and streaming media service based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)[1] by which Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) deliver telephone services and unified communications to customers equipped with SIP-based private branch exchange (IP-PBX) and Unified Communications facilities.[2] Most Unified Communications software applications provide voice, video, and other streaming media applications such as desktop sharing, web conferencing, and shared whiteboard.[3]

Domains

The architecture of SIP trunking provides a partitioning of the Unified Communications network into two different domains of expertise:[4]

The interconnection between the two domains must occur through a SIP trunk.

The interconnection between the two domains, created by transport via the Internet Protocol (IP), involves setting specific rules and regulations as well as the ability to handle some services and protocols that fall under the name of SIP trunking.[5]

The ITSP is completely responsible to the applicable regulatory authority regarding all the following law obligations of the Public Domain:[6]

The private domain instead, by nature, is not subject to particular constraints of law, and may be either the responsibility of the ITSP, the end user (enterprise), or of a third party who provides the voice services to the company.

Architecture

In each domain there are elements that perform the characteristic features requested to that domain, in particular the result (as part of any front-end network to the customer) is logically divided into two levels:

The private domain consists of three levels:
