Hello Everyone! I'm new to the world of SIP and just have a question that I have been having a bit of a hard time finding an exact answer for. I'm trying to understand what exactly the difference is between a SIP "proxy" and a SIP "server." They seem to be mentioned as two different things, and yet people seem to use them interchangably.
Now does the proxy simply act as a proxy for a user and then the user gets registered via the server? Can anyone explain a bit? I'd appreciate it. Specifically I'm asking about this in terms of IMS, where the text book I'm reading through describes both the P-CSCF and I-CSCFs as SIP proxies, and the S-CSCF as the SIP server. Also, if this is the wrong place to be asking, can someone point me towards a newbie friendly SIP mailing list? Thank you. -Matty _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
