Introducing the SIP Session Manager and its Benefits2

SIP Considerations in Customer Contact3

Business Drivers for SIP and Technology Direction1


SIP can be called a “rendezvous” protocol. That is, it allows endpoints on the Internet to discover, locate, negotiate, and establish sessions. What kind of sessions? Any kind of sessions. SIP is used to establish VoIP (of course), video, gaming, text, call control.

SIP is an open protocol standard, with an active working groupon the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Avaya and othermajor companies are active in the IETF SIP working group andin other industry groups, working to ensure that SIP-enabledsolutions work across businesses and enterprises with a variety of legacy, new, and evolving networking and telecommunicationsinfrastructures and products to enhance and revolutionize the world of real-time business communications.

SIP is used to identify, locate, and enjoin parties who want to communicate using any peer-to-peer media type. However, SIP does not transport the media itself: That is handled by codecs within the communications programs or devices.

Presence allows your employees and customers to communicate more efficiently.

User-centricity gives your users more flexibility and options while improving control of technology and greatly simplifying device (and communications)management.

Multi-modal capabilities provide a richer communications experience and empower your business to better serve your customers.

Simplified architectures promote interoperability while simultaneously allowing your business to reduce costs, rapidly deploy new applications and solutions, and grow with your business.

Common Customer ScenarioLegacy Consolidation, Incremental Evolution

• Heterogeneous multi-vendor mix of TDM and IP• Too complex and costly to “rip and replace” everything in one step• How to get significant cost savings now?• How to securely add incremental UC applications now?• Old costly stand-alone branch/store systems, mobile workforce, etc.

Business Challenge

• Core SIP routing for new and old (use gateways to legacy)• Centralized dial-plan, on-net calling, SIP trunking to core (not edge)• Deploy SIP applications by user: conferencing, mobility, UC, CEBP• Roll out centrally managed branches• Replace legacy incrementally

Introducing the SIP Session Manager

Global Routing Policy


Registrar Server. When users come online, they need to make sure that others are aware they’re available to take and make calls. The Registrar authenticates and registers users when they come online, and stores information on the users’ logical identities and the communications devices or physical entities (IP address) of the communication devices they can use. The devices are identified by their URIs.

Location Service. As users roam, the network needs to be continually aware of their locations. The location service is a database that keeps track of users and their locations. The location service gets its input from the registrar server and provides key information to the proxy and redirect servers. A SIP proxy or redirect server uses this information to obtain the mapping from logicalSIP addresses to physical SIP addresses, so that communication sessions can be properly established and maintained.

SIP Call Context Integration reduces CTI complexities

Enhanced Wait Treatment via an application on VP

Key Benefits of SIP in this Role

Reduces PBX footprint -- lower OPEX, and CAPEX

Allows businesses to migrate from legacy ACDs (ex: Nortel) to CM

Eliminates the need for complex, expensive pre-routing CTI solutions (lower OPEX and CAPEX)

Reduces the need for proprietary post-routing CTI solutions (lower OPEX and CAPEX)

Improved customer experience and satisfaction
