It makes telephone calls, allows communication by audio, text, and video, in different media and applications, the multimedia inclusion of the SIP is evolutionary, so it opens doors to the development of many areas and industry, not only in telecommunications but also in more supplied areas and seeking telecommunication adaptation. It excludes the need for a protocol to handle a generalized session because it is also capable of working with different IP telephony…
