SIP Big in 2007
By Richard Tehrani, Publisher, Pubilsher’s Outlook

• Session Border Control
SIP has gone through many changes since its humble beginnings. Still, SIP retains just enough of its simple former “endpoint-to-endpoint” characteristics to make it a bit difficult to pass across network borders and through firewalls.
• SIMPLE in the Enterprise
If and when IM (Instant Messaging) and presence eventually become an IETF standard, the SIMPLE protocol will undoubtedly be the principal component, thanks in part to its ability to integrate IM/presence with voice, video, data-sharing, and other elements of conferencing and real-time collaboration.

Cisco yesterday announced several updates to its branch office-ready Integrated Services Router (ISR), adding into the mix modules for WAN optimization and application acceleration, a tunnel-less VPN based on Group Encrypted Transport (GET) technology, and a new services engine.
The addition of a tunnel-less VPN, also called the GET VPN, eliminates the trade-off between data encryption security and routing intelligence, according to Inbar Lasser-Raab, director of product marketing.
Further more Cisco added a new set of voice, video and collaboration services into the ISR to give customers lower cost and more secure communications, along with increased availability and enhanced applications. New services include Session Initiation Protocol trunking; consolidated voice, video and data on a single primary rate interface; secure Survivable Remote Site Telephone on Call Manager Express; integrated voice XML; and session border control.
