P2P (peer-to-peer) SIP – List of implementations now available
March 24th, 2008 by Dan York
Want to try out peer-to-peer SIP? (P2PSIP?) One of the areas of work within the IETF right now that intrigues me the most is the whole effort around “peer-to-peer” SIP, a.k.a. “P2PSIP”. The idea is that you could have “SIP without servers”, i.e. a range of SIP endpoints (hard phones, soft phones, etc.) that would learn of each other and communicate with each other using SIP over a P2P network (also referred to as a “P2P overlay” or sometimes just casually as a “P2P cloud”).
In another post at some point, I’ll write more about why P2PSIP is intriguing to me (and for Voxeo), but for the moment I thought I’d post that David Bryan, chair of the IETF’s P2PSIP Working Group, has very nicely put up a page listing existing implementations of P2PSIP technology. There are several open source implementations, as well as a commercial implementation from David’s own company, SIPeerior Technologies (he’s the CEO). All of these are implementations of exists drafts and so they will undoubtedly change as the drafts evolve and morph into RFCs over the next months and years ahead. Still, if you’d like to experiment and get a sense of what people are working on, the implementations are now out there!
P.S. David has also posted the P2PSIP presentations from IETF 71 earlier this month.
