H.323 vs. SIP
Internal PBX CallExtension number is dialedPBX receives extensionRoutes extensionRoutes call to the phoneCall begins
Internal VoIP CallExtension number is dialedServer picks up extension
Tells phone how to reach the other phone via IP
VoIP phone establishes a connection to the other phoneVia TCP/IP protocol stackUses network mediums
Both confirm connection and call begins
Difference?Extension is still dialedCall is still placedStill routedCall quality is equal
ConvergenceData, voice, and video are all combined
under one mediumMany reliable mechanisms to provide
reliability, security, and manageability already existTCP, RTP, QoS paramsSSL, SSH, S-HTTP
How we handle callsVoIP, Video, and data must have sessionsSessions need protocols
Think SS7 for landlineTwo largest protocols
SIPH.323
SIP BackgroundCreated by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) as a method to control “sessions” between one or many pointsFebruary 1996
Designed around the HTTP protocolSession Codes
E.g. 400 – user error, 500 – server error, etc…
H.323 BackgroundCreated by ITU-T as a method to control
voice, audio, and dataNovember 1996
A Suite of protocolsH.225H.235H.245
Derived from Q.931 standardThink PSTN and ISDN signaling
SIP Components User Agent Client
Creates and sends requestsA SIP compatible phone is a User Agent doing the work of
a User Agent Client Registar/Location Server
Registers User AgentsStores locationsAddress resolution
(SIP:user2209@statefarmIT) User Agent Server
Accepts, Forwards and routes callsProxy Server
Routes calls Redirect Server
Multifunctioned Discussed Later
H.323 ComponentsTerminal
Standard VoIP phone or any device that starts or terminates H.323 sessions
GatewayTranslates data from one incompatible network to
anotherThink PSTN to Ethernet
GatekeeperControls calls and sessionsAddress resolutionZone controlBandwidth control
Multipoint Control UnitBridges many sessions into one

H.323 Process ExtensiveH.225 – Call signaling
Provides call signaling, alerting, and connected statuses for the call in question
RAS SignalingCommunication between terminals and gatekeepersCommunication between gatekeepers
H.245Capability negotiation
Defines what codecs to be used for audio/video/dataH.264, G.729, T.140
Master/Slave determinatorSettles all disputes between two devices during
negotiationH.235
Encryption using SSL

Business ValueConverging data/voice/video under one
medium - networkControl how your business communicates
Multipoint conferencingUnified communication allows all types of
communication under one protocolAll in one package
Why technology is importantOne word: Convergence umbrellaGeographic locations are reducedH.323
All-in-one suite, managers many facetsSIP
Simplicity, small, modularity
