The SIP Forum’s recently concluded SIP Interoperability Testing event, SIPit26, revealed some interesting findings.
For one, there was a higher number of Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and TLS implementations for secure SIP interworking, as well as more IPv6 implementations.
"As SIP communications become more widely prevalent, securing SIP at both the application and media layers through SRTP and TLS is critical," said Robert Sparks, chair of the SIP Forum's Test Event Working Group and organizer of SIPit 26. "Other interesting developments were the growth of IPv6 and a large number of participants testing network edge-specific scenarios with ICE and TURN implementations."
SIPit 26 took place May 17-21 in Kista, Sweden. The event was hosted by Edvina and TANDBERG. Organizers said SIP-based technologies are being more widely deployed across fixed and mobile IP networks.
