The goal of SIP SIMPLE client SDK is to provide a simple to use API to create Real Time Communications Applications for Internet end-points based on SIP and related protocols.

To use SIP SIMPLE client SDK and the concepts described below you must be familiar with Python programming language and have basic [http://www.tech-invite.com/Ti-sip-ex3261.html SIP knowledge]. Understanding of TCP/IP networking in general and real time application development in particular are strongly recommended.

To develop your SIP client Application you should use the Middleware API that hides the complexity and the interactions of the low level SIP, SDP, RTP, ICE, MSRP, XCAP protocols. With a minimal amount of coding you can create a rich client for setting up Audio, Instant Messaging, File Transfer and Desktop Sharing sessions.
