I hope this an appropriate forum for this list. Please tell me if it is not. Thanks! -Cameo Wood <mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: SIPop! [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 6:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SIPop Update SIPop! Update Jeff Pulver has announced his intention to create the WORLD'S LARGEST SIP demonstration network as part of the FALL VON conference in Atlanta on October 15-18, 2001. Unlike other interoperability events, SIPop! will be limited to only General Availability (GA) products, therefore it not an event where engineers TEST their products, but rather an event for INSTALLATION teams to install and provision their products in accordance with the PUBLISHED TEST SCENARIOS that will demonstrate real world use example. --- Included in this email: About SIPop! Q&A Who will attend Event Schedule Participant Prerequisites Included devices How to apply to SIPop! August 15, 2001 Conference Call Minutes --- About SIPop!: The SIPop! Event at VON is designed to demonstrate that SIP is operationally stable and ready for service off the shelf. This event is limited to General Availability products only. SIPop! will be attended by marketing staff and integration engineers. Because the focus is on general availability products, we ask that you are represented by installation engineers, not software designers. This event is to prove interoperability "out of the box." The attendees are expected to bring their own fully configured hardware, with an implementer that would attend your SIPop! entry each of the 4 days in order to operate their product to successfully work with the other admissions. We will be exhibiting a network that not only performs, but also performs under introduced network load and impairment from our testing equipment exhibitors. The goal here is to prove to service providers, consumers and the public at large that SIP is operationally viable and stable. Q&A: Q: How is the event different from other Interoperability events like OTN or the bakeoff? A: SIPop is limited to only General Availability products. Unlike other SIP Interoperability events, SIPop! is a place for products to interoperate and work from Day One, and progress smoothly, with limited on-site reconfiguration work. This is an event for Installation engineers and marketing, not developers: If I have been involved with the OTN in the past, how is that different from SIPop!? A: SIPop! does not involve hosting your products with us. You develop the test plans with us, you bring your equipment to the event, configure it, and at the end of the conference, you take it back with you.

During SIPop!, an installation engineer must be available and on-hand in the SIPop! area at all times. All products must use SIP for signaling All exhibited products must be in general availability Included devices: Service Creation Tools Application Servers SIP Phones Integrated Access Devices Gateways and Gateway Controllers SIP Servers Sip-Based Services SIP Billing Solutions Developer Toolkits SIP Testing Tools SIP User Agents SIP Network Management Media Servers How to apply to SIPop! To be involved in SIPop!, please send a product description of 20 words or less of each of the products you wish to be considered. Each applicant is requested to submit a test plan they would like to collaborate on with other SIPop! participants. --- Minutes of the SIPop! 15 August 2001 Preliminary Conference Call ====== Chairs: Cameo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jeff Dworkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Keith Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cameo Wood chaired the meeting and took the minutes. Attendance was 24 ========================== Administrative information: Informational email: <mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web site: http://www.pulver.com ===== Agenda --- Overview of SIPop! and its focus * Designed to Demonstrate only General Availability Products * SIP only products are allowed, although, Media Servers are allowed * Proprietary protocols will not be considered. Must use SIP for signaling Element overview and possible fits within the test network Included devices for discussion: * Service Creation Tools - Grant from Pactolus came forward with an interest in providing in this area * Application Servers - Sylantro Systems, Lucent, Globalcom, PingTel and IPDialog expressed interest in this solution area * Jeff Dworkin suggested this categorization be tabled for email discussion and dissemination. It is requested that participants email <mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> with product descriptions of the GA products they wish to submit for consideration in SIPop!, designate one administrative lead for their company, and to place their product into one of the SIPop! entry categories. If an appropriate category was not listed, it is asked that one is suggested. If applicants have test plans they would like to pursue at SIPop!, it is encouraged that these are submitted immediately. Tom Lynch from Empirix requested that SIPop! participants state their testing equipment interests; i.e., network impairment, network load. Jeff Dworkin and Keith Carpenter state that SIPop! test plans will be similar to <http://www.Pulver.com/opentestnetwork/testplans2.html>, but more like algebraic word problems Unisphere, ECI and Tekelec has interest in providing PSTN gateways - === Adjourn I hope to have as many products as possible be part of this event. I have high hopes of its impact upon the community at large.
