4 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP SIMPLE client is Python software library built on top of PJSIP that |
5 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | together with middleware allows for easy development of Client/Server and |
6 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | Peer-to-Peer Internet communications end-points based on SIP SIMPLE family |
7 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | of protocols for voice, video, presence, instant messaging (IM) and file |
8 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | transfer capabilities. |

12 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | == Background == |
13 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | |
14 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP stands for 'Sessions Initiation Protocol', an IETF standard described by |
15 | 348 | Adrian Georgescu | [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261 RFC 3261]. SIP is an application-layer control protocol that can establish, |
16 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | modify and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls |
17 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | (VoIP). Media can be added to (and removed from) an existing session. |
18 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | |
19 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP transparently supports name mapping and redirection services, which |
20 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | supports personal mobility, users can maintain a single externally visible |
21 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | address identifier, which can be in the form of a standard email address or |
22 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | E.164 telephone number regardless of their physical network location. |
23 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | |
24 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP allows the endpoints to negotiate and combine any type of session they |
25 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | mutually understand like video, instant messaging (IM), file transfer, |
26 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | desktop sharing and provides a generic event notification system with |
27 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | real-time publications and subscriptions about state changes that can be |
28 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | used for asynchronous services like presence, message waiting indicator and |
29 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | busy line appearance. |

31 | 1 | == Features == |
|
32 | 1 | ||
33 | 368 | Adrian Georgescu | The software allows you to create elegant real-time communications applications without having to read [http://www.rfc3261.net the +1200 RFC documents] behind it. As a library with a high-level [wiki:SipApiDocumentation API], the toolkit can be used to add voice, IM and Presence functionality to any network devices as long as Python/C environment is supported by such platform. |
34 | 344 | Adrian Georgescu | |
35 | 369 | Adrian Georgescu | Additional to the SIP standards implemented by the underlying PJSIP library and exposes through a Python API, this project implements session based instant messaging (IM), file transfer and multi-party chat sessions using MSRP protocol and its relay extension, publication and subscription for rich presence information such as availability, moods, activities and geo-location, management for presence rules, resource lists, RLS services documents using XCAP protocol. |
