What Is Sip Proxy Server? |
|
Answer» A SIP proxy server sits in the MIDDLE of SIP message exchange, receives messages and forwards them, but it does not set up or terminate sessions. A proxy server typically has access to a DATABASE or a location SERVICE to aid it in processing the request (determining the next hop). Databases could contain SIP registrations, presence information, or any other type of information about where a user is located.
