SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

= Developer Guide =

The goal of ''SIP SIMPLE client SDK'' is to allow easy development of Real Time Applications based on SIP and related protocols. By using this SDK you can add Audio, Video, Instant Messaging, File Transfer and Desktop Sharing capabilities to an existing product or create a new product from scratch.

Prerequisites

To use SIP SIMPLE client SDK you must:

1. Be familiar with [http://python.org Python programming language]
 2. Have basic knowledge of [http://www.tech-invite.com/Ti-sip-ex3261.html SIP protocol]
 3. Use a supported platform as described in the [wiki:SipInstallation Installation Instructions]

Integration with other applications or libraries

That application or library that wants to benefit of the SIP SIMPLE client SDK feature must import the relevant Python modules from it, start the engine than make use of the SDK function.

To develop your application you use the Middleware API that hides the complexity of the interactions of the low level SIP, DNS, SDP, RTP, ICE, MSRP and XCAP protocols.
