SIP Forwarding and Trunking Overview

SIP is commonly used for internet media that is real-time such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls, video conferencing, and instant messaging.  Real-time media is media that is not pre-recorded and is defined by audio, video, and text messaging that needs to be as close to instantaneous as possible.  

Any delays or loss in the real-time media generally will not be re-transmitted as by the time the media packets are re-transmitted they will no longer be relevant because the “conversation” has already moved past the timeframe to which the packets were relevant.  Because of this time-sensitive requirement, the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol is most commonly used since there is no packet checking and retransmission as seen in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) therefore allowing packets to be sent more quickly.
