Not so Fast! # Ira Stoller From the November 14th, 2006 issue of Fierce VoIP: It's the unglamorous stuff that usually makes the real difference between success and failure. One analysis of VoIP wonders when we'll be able to call a SIP phone by entering its SIP address instead of a conventional phone number. The answer: not any time soon. Addressing schemes are tricky things. Whippersnappers (and when's the last time you ever snapped a whipper?) don't remember how big a deal it was when email addresses went from specifying every step (ihntp!rutgers!abasin!dan) to putting all that routing information into the cloud (dan@fiercevoip.com). No one, mercifully, remembers x.400 email routing schemes, and the days of operator-assisted intercity calling are receding out of memory and into folklore. So when will we see SIP-addressed phones? Maybe never because someone will figure out how to move SIP addressing to an easier scheme--one, of course, that still doesn't require the PSTN for termination. For more information about SIP addressing read this article from VoIPLoop: http://www.voiploop.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1598&Itemid=34 Private Reply to Ira Stoller Nov 15, 2006 3:13 am re: Direct SIP Addressing? Not so Fast! # Robert Russell If taken literally, I agree with Dan in this article: trying to figure out SIP addressing is, well, nuts. But my various versions of "phone client" do it all the time for me: Gizmo, Net2Phone, Skype, and others use SIP or a distant cousin to connect to other users, and lots of VoIP phone services use the real thing. You just don't know it, since you're not entering the maddening numeric digit string -- your client is. I vote for keeping it simple. Let the client do the heavy lifting: I just want to click and talk. Private Reply to Robert Russell Previous Topic | Next Topic | Topics Back to Telecom Network for Professionals and Users
