A Sip of the SIP: The Standard for Presence Awareness, Instant Messaging, Telephony and More

Overview The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standard was created by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1996. Initially, this protocol was built to provide media capabilities (that is, audio or video) among users. Today, SIP has evolved significantly and is now able to perform a wide range of real-time collaboration functionalities such as presence awareness and Instant Messaging (IM), wireless applications, telephony and more. To leverage the capabilities provided by SIP, Lotus software from IBM, the leader in collaboration, is creating a SIP infrastructure as part of its newest platform known as IBM Lotus Workplace.
