Description: SIP Proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) requests, a protocol used to establish, modify, and terminate real-time communication sessions, such as voice calls and video conferences. This type of proxy manages SIP signaling traffic, facilitating communication between SIP clients and media servers. SIP proxies can perform various functions, such as user authentication, traffic load management, policy routing implementation, and address translation. Additionally, they can offer security features, such as protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and encryption of communications. In the context of VoIP (Voice over IP) environments, a SIP proxy can be implemented to optimize communication, enhancing call efficiency and quality. Its ability to handle multiple simultaneous sessions and its flexibility in configuration make it an essential tool for telecommunications service providers and businesses that rely on real-time communication.
