SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

<acronym title="WikiStart, Sip*, depth=2">TOC</acronym>

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.

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).

General * Written in Python language * Event driven high level API * Low level components API * Multiple SIP accounts support * 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.
