Summary: This document gives examples of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) call flows for IP telephony. Elements in these call flows include SIP User Agents and Clients, SIP Proxy and Redirect Servers, and Gateways to the PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network). IP telephony scenarios include SIP Registration, SIP to SIP calling, SIP to Gateway, Gateway to SIP, and Gateway to Gateway via SIP. Call flow diagrams and message details are shown. PSTN telephony protocols are illustrated using ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), ANSI ISUP (ISDN User Part), and FGB (Feature Group B) circuit associated signaling. PSTN calls are illustrated using global telephone numbers from the PSTN and private extensions served on by a PBX (Private Branch Exchange). Example SIP messages used for testing during SIP 'bakeoff' events include SIP 'torture test' messages, and messages with invalid parameters, methods, and tags.
