Since Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was originally defined as a signaling protocol for multimedia sessions, SIP has grown beyond its targeted use as an IP-based telephony messaging medium to conferencing and instant messaging. A service provider infrastructure focused on supporting IP-based telephony services is necessarily more complex than simple, web-based services. This makes ensuring reliable, scalable services more difficult. This paper addresses the challenges and solutions when providing high-availability and scalability for SIP services. By choosing the right high-availability solution for SIP environments, organizations can ensure reliable services while maintaining the ability to rapidly support new functionality and infrastructure without sacrificing uptime or quality.
