Build Status

Sippy B2BUA Sippy B2BUA is a

RFC3261-compliant Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Back-to-back user agent (B2BUA).

The Sippy B2BUA is a SIP call controlling component. Unlike a SIP proxy server, which only maintains transaction state, the Sippy B2BUA maintains complete call state and participates in all call requests. For this reason it can perform number of functions that are not possible to implement using SIP proxy, such as for example accurate call accounting, pre-paid rating and billing, fail over call routing etc. Unlike PBX-type solutions such as Asterisk for example, the Sippy B2BUA doesn't perform any media relaying or processing, therefore it doesn't introduce any additional packet loss, delay or jitter into the media path.

Features

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/sippy/b2bua

Running

To get started, you can use the b2bua_simple implementation. The following example will cause the b2bua run in the foreground so you can see the SIP messaging. If you make a call to the IP address of your host machine, the b2bua will recieve the call on its UAC side, and it will send a new call leg out its UAS side to the IP address 192.168.1.1. It is expected that 192.168.1.1 is some sort of SIP switch or termination gateway.

b2bua_simple -f -n 192.168.1.1
