Session is an association involving the exchange of data between two or more Internet end systems.
Session control refers to the various functions that are involved in the setting up, maintaining, and termination of a session.
Session Initiation Protocol
SIP or Session Initiation Protocol is an application-level control protocol for setting up, changing and terminating multimedia sessions between participants on IP data networks.
SIP is a text-based protocol, similar to HTTP and SMTP, for initiating interactive communication sessions between users. Such sessions include voice, video, chat, interactive games, and virtual reality.
Conclusion
SIP is short, simple and flexible signaling protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants.
Future work will be to bridge between SIP and other multimedia control protocols like RSW control protocol.
