Here is an Internet architecture with SIP transit service providers. The bubble in the middle is "The Internet", enterprises are on the left and the four service providers are on the right: Enterprise A ---- { -------- } --+ { } \ { } { SP-A } { } / { +----- } --+ { | } { +----- } --+ { } \ { } { transit-A } { } / { +----- } --+ { | } { +----- } --+ { } \ { } { transit-B } { } / { +----- } --+ { | } { +----- } --+ { } \ { } { SP-B } { } / Enterprise B ---- { -------- } --+ And it should be realized that call forwarding turns any SP into a transit provider. -d _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use sip-implement...@cs.columbia.edu for questions on current sip Use sipp...@ietf.org for new developments on the application of sip
