Find out how IAX can complement SIP to overcome complications
encountered in current SIP-based communications
Written by an expert in the field of telecommunications, this
book describes the Inter-Asterisk Exchange protocol (IAX) and its
operations, discussing the main characteristics of the protocol
including NAT traversal, security, IPv6 support, interworking
between IPv4 and IPv6, interworking with SIP and many others. The
author presents the ways in which IAX can be activated so as to
avoid complications such as NAT and the presence of intermediary
boxes in operational architectures. This book analytically
demonstrates the added values of IAX protocol compared to existing
ones, while proposing viable deployment scenarios that assess the
behavior of the protocol in operational networks.
Key Features:
* Promotes a viable alternative protocol to ease deployment of
multimedia services
* Analyses the capabilities of the IAX protocol and its ability
to meet Vo IP service provider requirements, and provides scenarios
of introducing IAX within operational architectures
* Addresses the advantages and disadvantages of SIP, and Details
the features of IAX that can help, in junction with SIP, to
overcome various disadvantages of SIP
* Explores the added values of IAX protocol compared to existing
protocols
* Discusses the compatibility of new adopted architectures and
associated protocols
This book will be a valuable reference for service providers,
protocol designers, vendors and service implementers. Lecturers and
advanced students computer science, electrical engineering and
telecoms courses will also find this book of interest.
