It’s Never Too Late to Learn Your ABCs

With the last days of 2011 inching into our collective rearview mirror, our minds turn to what we learned in the last year. As an industry, it was a year with some significant milestones. We said hello to Siri and said goodbye to Steve Jobs. And there were milestones that turned out to be a mirage, like the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile. Perhaps tellingly, it was on those occasions where I tried to teach others that I learned the most. After a colleague asked me to write a high-level introductory document for SIP (“something like the ABCs of SIP,” he said), I began on a series of ABCs that tackled other troublesome topics (for telco neophytes anyway), such as The ABCs of SBCs, SIP Trunking, IPv6, etc.
In case you missed them the first time, I’ve included the first installments in what I hope will one day constitute a library of introductory docs that demystifies the more daunting abbreviations and acronyms in the world of SIP communications. They are as short and simple as I could make them—easy to read (I hope) and handy to reference. You’ll be seeing a lot more of SIP in 2012, so what better way to start the year off than by getting up to speed on SIP?
