4. January 23-25, 2008 Miami Beach Convention Center Miami, Florida USA www.ITEXPO.com 4 Walled Gardens The closed-network model for VoIP will inevitably end No one ever needs to ask today whether their messaging system can send an email to Yahoo or a Company’s server DNS and the “Internet Address” magically glue us together Today for some IM and VoIP offerings we see not a real Internet model – the are based more on the toll and location based models of the PSTN world

5. January 23-25, 2008 Miami Beach Convention Center Miami, Florida USA www.ITEXPO.com 5 SIP & Open Standards Session Initiation Protocol (RFC 3261): SIP provides for open and standards-based signaling SIP provides registration, authentication, and discovery - allows two or more clients to locate each other, select a media type & define media sockets using SDP RTP used for audio/video payload, and often times directly between end devices Challenges –SIP protocol still in rolling development –Each SIP end-user device may state its own presence –Security challenges (data capture, MITM, DDoS, virus, encryption not commonly used) Conclusion –SIP records can be added to DNS records –SIP is just a protocol (VoIP is an application)

6. January 23-25, 2008 Miami Beach Convention Center Miami, Florida USA www.ITEXPO.com 6 Embracing Open Standards Open, RFC-compliant standards ensure all users of various vendor technologies can communicate The distributed Internet model has been proven with email, and is inevitable with voice Businesses are empowered with the ability to define their security and privacy policies Most Messaging platforms (Exchange, iPlanet etc) can be configured with gateways and directory services to enable SIP, XMPP, or other services

7. January 23-25, 2008 Miami Beach Convention Center Miami, Florida USA www.ITEXPO.com 7 Internet Address Space What we typically call an “Email Address” is really an “Internet Address” –Routes via DNS –Email uses “MX” (Mail Exchanger) records –Protocol specific applications can use DNS to determine ports and servers –SIP and XMPP use “SRV” (Service) records in DNS SRV Records (Required Only for Non-Primary Host servers) –For example, if a DNS query for somedomain.com resolves host1.somedomain.com, and your services are running on host1, SRV would not be required. Benefits of a single address –Allows multiple media type clients to use common AuthID –Simplification of provisioning –Much more easy to use for rules –Allows external people (customers) to have common address

Allow inbound Internet calls to hit legacy Telephony platforms through intelligent gateways. Enable media types (Unified Communications) to use a single address space, and promote inter-operability though standards based inner-connects and APIs. Drive Mash-up applications or widgets that leverage Unified Communications technology (communications, presence, routing)
