SIP SIMPLE client is a Software Development Kit for easy development of Real Time Applications based on SIP and related protocols for Presence, Audio, Instant Messaging (IM), File Transfers and Desktop Sharing. Other media types can be easily added by using an extensible high-level API.

The software has undergone in the past years several interoperability tests at [http://www.sipit.net SIPIT] and today is of industry strength quality.

== General Features ==
10 1 Adrian Georgescu
11 96 Adrian Georgescu
 * Written in Python Programming Language
12 97 Adrian Georgescu
 * Non-blocking Asynchronous API
13 94 Adrian Georgescu
 * TLS Security for both signaling (SIP) and media planes (MSRP, XCAP)
14 97 Adrian Georgescu
 * Multiple Media Types per Session (e.g. Audio + Instant Messaging + Desktop Sharing)
15 97 Adrian Georgescu
 * Trace capability for all underlying protocols
16 75 Adrian Georgescu
17 1 Adrian Georgescu
The library has cross platform capabilities on Linux OS, Mac OSX (Leopard and Snow Leopard) and Microsoft Windows (roadmap). The library should work with minimal changes on any platform that supports C and Python development environments.

== Location Discovery ==
20 1 Adrian Georgescu
21 76 Adrian Georgescu
 * [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3263 RFC3263] next hop resolution lookup
22 98 Adrian Georgescu
 * Bonjour multicast DNS [http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lee-sip-dns-sd-uri-03] (work in progress)
23 97 Adrian Georgescu
 * Failover for DNS lookups, SIP next hop routing and MSRP relay reservation
24 75 Adrian Georgescu
 * Other lookup mechanisms can be easily added (e.g. P2PSIP or DHT)
25 92 Adrian Georgescu
26 81 Adrian Georgescu
The library uses a separated from the core lookup mechanism for the next hop routing. This important feature allows the library to be used for building SIP clients that operate in combination with any SIP provider (by employing RFC 3263 DNS lookups), in a server-less LAN operation (using Bonjour protocol) or integrated into a network overlay developed by a third party (e.g. P2PSIP overlay).
