SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

h2. sip-register

> This script is available in _sipclients_ package that must be installed separately from SIP SIMPLe client SDK package.

h3. Description

SIP protocol offers a discovery capability. If a user wants to initiate a session

with another user, he must discover the current host(s) at which the

destination user is reachable. To do this, SIP network elements consult an

abstract service known as a location service, which provides address

bindings for a particular domain. Registration entails sending a REGISTER

request to a special type of UAS known as a registrar.  A registrar acts as

the front end to the location service for a domain, reading and writing

mappings based on the contents of REGISTER requests. This location service

is then typically consulted by a proxy server that is responsible for

routing requests for that domain.

This script implements REGISTER method, which registers the contact (ip, port and transport) for a given address of record (SIP address).
