[[TOC(WikiStart, Sip*, depth=2)]]

This library implements RTP audio sessions (VoIP), session based Instant Messaging (IM), file transfer and multi-party chat sessions using MSRP protocol and its relay extension, publication and subscription for rich presence information such as availability, moods, activities and geo-location, management for the presence rules, resource lists, RLS services documents using XCAP protocol.

== General  ==

 * Written in Python language

 * Event driven high level API

 * Low level components API

 * Multiple SIP accounts support inclusive server-less Bonjour mode

 * Compatible with both Peer-To-Peer (P2P) and Client/Server environments

 * Multiple active session support

 * Multiple media types per session (e.g. audio + Instant Messaging + desktop sharing)

 * NAT traversal support (both client side using STUN and ICE and server side using rport and relays)

 * Compatible with functionality of OpenSIPS and OpenXCAP servers

 * Cross platform (Linux, OSX, Windows)

 * Trace capability for all underlying protocols

== SIP transport ==

 * UDP/TCP/TLS transports

 * RFC 3263 next hop resolution lookup

 * Other lookup mechanisms can be easily added

== SDP negotiation ==

Supported media types:

 * Audio (with or without ICE and STUN)

 * Instant messaging over MSRP (with or without MSRP relay support)

 * File transfer over MSRP (with or without MSRP relay support)

 * Desktop sharing (VNC over MSRP)

Except for MSRP file transfer, all media types can be combined together in the same session.
