Assignment Instructions:
In recent years, SIP (session initiation protocol) enabled telephony networks have introduced a number of radical innovations in that way that people use telephony in general, including allowing people to take business-related calls seamlessly, even when they are not physically at the office. Research the elements that comprise SIP. In what ways does SIP differ from PBX or VoIP? Put yourself into the position of a system administrator considering updating your businesss telephony system. What elements of the technology would you compare or assign the greatest value? Would you even consider using a SIP or VoIP telephony solution? Why or why not? If you have real world experience with SIP and/or VoIP, please include a brief overview of that experience. If you do not have personal experience of the technology, include an overview of a case study of SIP or VoIP.
Based on your research, write an 68 page paper that researches the concept of internet telephony, as well as providing an analysis and comparison of several telephony technologies currently available.
