[April 30, 2009] Research and Markets: Inter-Asterisk Exchange (IAX): Deployment Scenarios in SIP-Enabled Networks Tweet DUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a30a7d/interasterisk_exc) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Inter-Asterisk Exchange (IAX): Deployment Scenarios in SIP-Enabled Networks" to their offering. Find out how IAX can complement SIP to overcome complications encountered in current SIP-based communications Written by an expert in the field of telecommunications, this book describes the Inter-Asterisk Exchange protocol (IAX) and its operations, discussing the main characteristics of the protocol including NAT traversal, security, IPv6 support, interworking between IPv4 and IPv6, interworking with SIP and many others. The author presents the ways in which IAX can be activated so as to avoid complications such as NAT and the presence of intermediary boxes in operational architectures. This book analytically demonstrates the added values of IAX protocol compared to existing ones, while proposing viable deployment scenarios that assess the behavior of the protocol in operational networks. Key Features: Promotes a viable alternative protocol to ease deployment of multimedia services Analyses the capabilities of the IAX protocol and its ability to meet VoIP service provider requirements, and provides scenarios of introducing IAX within operational architectures Addresses the advantages and disadvantages of SIP, and Details the features of IAX that can help, in junction with SIP, to overcome various disadvantages of SIP Explores the added values of IAX protocol compared to existing protocols Discusses the compatibility of new adopted architectures and associated protocols This book will be a valuable reference for service providers, protocol designers, vendors and service implementers. Lecturers and advanced students computer science, electrical engineering and telecoms courses will also find this book of interest. Key Topics Covered: Introduction. The IAX Protocol at a Glance. IAX Uniform Resource Identifier. IAX Frames. IAX Information Elements. IAX Messages. IAX Connectivity Considerations. IAX Operations. Part Two: Discussion and Analysis. IAX and Advanced Services. Multi-IAX Servers Environment. IAX and NAT Traversal. IAX and Peer-to-Peer Deployment Scenarios. IAX and IPv6. IAX: Towards a Lightweight SBC?. Part Three: Deployment Scenarios in SIP-Based Environments. Scenarios for the Deployment of IAX-Based Conversational Services. IAX in the Access Segment of SIP-Based Service Architectures. Validation Scenario. For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a30a7d/interasterisk_exc [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
