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.

== Location Discovery ==
24 75 Adrian Georgescu
25 75 Adrian Georgescu

28 1 Adrian Georgescu
29 76 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).
