SIP Essentials

Learn about Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and other protocols related to SIP implementations.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the protocol uniting every communication management suite, be it Cisco Call Manager, Avaya Session and Communication Manager, Avaya IP Office, Oracle Session Border Controllers, Ericsson IMS cores, Asterisk, ShoreTel and Mitel products.

You’ll make live call analyses with Wireshark and TCPDump. Via the PCAPs you create, as well as those accessed from an extensive library of premade captures, you’ll have no problems understanding why SIP makes the phone ring, how RTP carries real time voice and video, or troubleshooting and identifying errors.

The lessons in this course are clear and very technical. Attending students will receive access to the Alta3 Research SIP certification exam. Upon successful completion of the exam, students will be awarded a SIP certificate.
