We have a “new” network
XP

But do we use it for person to person communication?
Everyone has a connection…

VoIP as we have seen it…
PSTN
But no connectivity between the IP clouds!

What about universal connectivity?
Wouldn’t that be fine?

We have SIP – Session Initiation Protocol
An Internet Standard IETF RFC 2543, replaced by new RFC 3261
Used for real time person to person IP Communication
VoIP, IP TelephonyAudio, Video, Data CollaborationPresence, Instant Messaging
Lots of activity, ongoing work and developmenthttp://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/sip/http://www.sipforum.orghttp://www.sipcenter.com

“We need QoS of PSTN…”
3 kHz bandwith?
Video?
Presence?
draft-ietf-simple-presence-07.txt
Instant Messaging?RFC3428, December 2002
And more…
Is black telephony all we want?
Voice & Video (XP)
Greenwich includes SIP server with API (3Q3)
Applications will arise
Windows Messenger 4.6 and later has SIP-mode Presence & IM
10:s of millions of RTC (SIP) users within a year

Dial to phone Rich SIP APIs
Microsoft is pushing – New RTC is SIP-based

The Next Big Usage of the Internet!
HTTP created the Web
SIP will create IP Communication person to person!
SMTP created Email

Firewall/NAT problems!

Operator network with NAT

NAT
Status until recently:SIP is the Protocol for IP Communication Person to Person,BUT IT DOES NOT REACH THE EDGE!
So, why don’t we just connect?

What is the difference?
Typical Internet protocol (SMTP, HTTP…)
Internet
HOSTSERVER
SIP (and H.323…) connects person to person
Internet
PERSONPERSON
Locate the person - Set up a session - Open real time media streams

SIP Firewall Problems
Firewall Problems:
Sessions initiated from outside the firewall
- OK, open port 5060, but…
Media streams on dynamically allocated port numbers
- Ooops… !Even with public IP addresses inside
© 2003 Ingate Systems AB© 2003 Intertex Data AB 12
SIP NAT/PAT Problems
NAT & PAT Problems:Where is the device?
- Registration/location function
Private IP addresses and ports in SIP messages
- Rewrite with globally routable addresses
IP address and port of media stream has to be modified
- NAT engine has to be dynamically controlled
Worse with privateIP addresses inside

Suggested Solutions
Dynamically controlled Firewall/NATs
Midcom: By Firewall Control Proxy (IETF work)
uPnP: By the client (Windows)
SIP aware Firewall/NATs (SIP Proxy + Registrar)
General, handles complex scenarios
[Intertex (SOHO), Ingate (enterprise), …]
SIP aware Firewall/NATs (SIP ALG – non Proxy)
TLS not possible
STUN - Can cope with certain types of existing NATs
SIP clients need to get STUN into their SIP stacks
Requires STUN servers on the net, RTCP is lost
Tunnelling - Connects SIP clients to an operator or a corporate LAN
Requires ALG for each client with NATed address
Tunnels by IPSec or proprietary
Firewall/NAT problems!
Firewall/NAT SIP transparency!

Adding General SIP Traversal to a Firewall
Important components:Firewall & NAT
Dynamic Firewall Engine
SIPProxy
SIP Proxy Server, controlling the firewall
UserLocation
SIP Registrar, user location information
FirewallControl
Protocol Communication between
SIP Proxy and firewall
In the Ingate and Intertex products:
You got a SIP server!Use it just for firewall traversalAND/OR as your
