Find out how IAX can complement SIP to overcome complicationsencountered in current SIP-based communications
Written by an expert in the field of telecommunications, thisbook describes the Inter-Asterisk Exchange protocol (IAX) and itsoperations, discussing the main characteristics of the protocolincluding NAT traversal, security, IPv6 support, interworkingbetween IPv4 and IPv6, interworking with SIP and many others. Theauthor presents the ways in which IAX can be activated so as toavoid complications such as NAT and the presence of intermediaryboxes in operational architectures. This book analyticallydemonstrates the added values of IAX protocol compared to existingones, while proposing viable deployment scenarios that assess thebehavior of the protocol in operational networks.
Key Features:
* Promotes a viable alternative protocol to ease deployment ofmultimedia services
* Analyses the capabilities of the IAX protocol and its abilityto meet VoIP service provider requirements, and provides scenariosof introducing IAX within operational architectures
* Addresses the advantages and disadvantages of SIP, and Detailsthe features of IAX that can help, in junction with SIP, toovercome various disadvantages of SIP
* Explores the added values of IAX protocol compared to existingprotocols
* Discusses the compatibility of new adopted architectures andassociated protocols
This book will be a valuable reference for service providers, protocol designers, vendors and service implementers. Lecturers andadvanced students computer science, electrical engineering andtelecoms courses will also find this book of interest.
