6 | 486 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP SIMPLE client is a Software Development Kit for easy development of Real Time Applications based on SIP and related protocols for Presence, Audio, Instant Messaging (IM), File Transfers and Desktop Sharing. Other media types can be easily added by using an extensible high-level API. |

9 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | |
10 | 403 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP stands for 'Session Initiation Protocol', an IETF standard described by |
11 | 382 | Adrian Georgescu | [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261 RFC 3261]. SIP is an Internet application-layer control protocol that can establish, |
12 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | modify and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls |
13 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | (VoIP). Media can be added to (and removed from) an existing session. |
14 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | |
15 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | SIP allows the endpoints to negotiate and combine any type of session they |
16 | 383 | Adrian Georgescu | mutually understand like audio, video, instant messaging (IM), file transfer, |
17 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | desktop sharing and provides a generic event notification system with |
18 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | real-time publications and subscriptions about state changes that can be |
19 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | used for asynchronous services like presence, message waiting indicator and |
20 | 346 | Adrian Georgescu | busy line appearance. |

24 | 489 | Adrian Georgescu | The software allows you to create elegant real-time communications applications without having to read [http://rfc3261.net/ the +1200 RFC documents] behind it. As a library with a high-level 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. |
