Would you like to learn all you can about the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and how it can be used for real-time communications? If so – and if you will be attending the Enterprise Connect event this coming week in Orlando, Florida – you can stop by the 3-hour tutorial I (Dan York) will be doing on the afternoon of February 28, 2011. As our events page outlines, the session description is:

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) has become the dominant protocol for IP communications. This workshop explains SIP —how it works, the major issues impacting deployments and how SIP will evolve in the future. There will be a major focus on SIP interoperability.

The session focuses on the technical aspects of SIP and how it is used. It analyzes in detail the major components of SIP architecture, SIP addressing and registration, session establishment, SIP message routing and connecting SIP across the PSTN. You will learn about SIP extensions and how SIMPLE works for IM/presence. The workshop also examines some of the challenges SIP faces, including NAT traversal (and the tools developed to cope with it: STUN, TURN and ICE) and security. The tutorial concludes with an assessment of how SIP may evolve and its role in peer-to-peer environments. You will receive an inventory of SIP resources—books, papers and organizations.

This tutorial was a great amount of fun to do last year (when the event was called VoiceCon) and I’m looking forward to teaching the session again this year.

If you are there at Enterprise Connect, please do come on by and learn about SIP!
