The first complete guide to planning, evaluating, and implementing high-value SIP trunking solutions

Most large enterprises have switched to IP telephony, and service provider backbone networks have
largely converted to VoIP transport. But there’s a key missing link: most businesses still connect to
their service providers via old-fashioned, inflexible TDM trunks. Now, three Cisco® experts show how to
use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking to eliminate legacy interconnects and gain the full
benefits of end-to-end VoIP.

Written for enterprise decision-makers, network architects, consultants, and service providers,
this book demystifies SIP trunking technology and trends and brings unprecedented clarity to the
transition from TDM to SIP interconnects. The authors separate the true benefits of SIP trunking from
the myths and help you systematically evaluate and compare service provider offerings. You will find
detailed cost analyses, including guidance on identifying realistic, achievable savings.

SIP Trunking also introduces essential techniques for optimizing network design and security,
introduces proven best practices for implementation, and shows how to apply them through a
start-to-finish case study.

Christina Hattingh, member of the technical staff in the Cisco Access Routing Technology Group
(ARTG), has been involved with Cisco VoIP technologies from their inception and continues to consult
and deliver training in these areas. Darryl Sladden, a Cisco Senior Product Manager, has been a key architec
of the Cisco Unified Border Element and the Cisco SIP Trunking strategy as well as a key contributor to the
AS5000 product, and several other Cisco VoIP technologies. ATM Zakaria Swapan, Cisco ARTG member of technical
staff, has been a key contributor to the Cisco SIP development, Cisco Unified Border Element, VoIP Gateway,
Secure Unified Communications, Wireless Voice, QoS & Call Admission Control and several other VoIP technologies.
