Objectives of the project

This project is an extension of a project which was carried out at Rhodes University during the early stages of the P2SIP IETF working group discussion on how to standardise P2PSIP. In this project a framework called OverCord was developed to give P2P capability to a SIP user agent, the JAIN SIP Applet Phone (JSAP). The task of this project was to continue the investigation on the evolution of the standard. The specific objectives of the project is to:

  • Analyse and compare the designs proposed in the drafts published by IETF
  • 
  • Identify open issues about P2PSIP that are still being discussed by P2PSIP IETF working group
  • 
  • Test, analyse, and compare some of the available P2PSIP systems
