DCL Enhances its SIP Stack Toolkit to Support Latest SIP Standards
Latest release of DC-SIP provides equipment manufacturers and application developers with robust, scalable, fault-tolerant source code that fully supports the latest SIP RFCs.
London, UK: April 2, 2003. Data Connection Limited (DCL), the world's leading provider of communications protocol software, announced today an upgrade to its SIP toolkit, DC-SIP v2.0, that adds support for the latest IETF standards including RFC 3261 and related RFCs. As a result, DC-SIP provides equipment manufacturers and application server developers with one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date implementations of the SIP protocol available.
"We have been using DC-SIP for several years and find the quality of the code and the responsiveness of DCL's support engineers to be excellent," said Joe Geofroy, Vice President, Research & Development at Convedia. "As our products have evolved, so have our SIP requirements. DCL experts devote the time and energy to understand our needs fully, and deliver what they promise when they say they will. We are looking forward to upgrading our products to use DC-SIP v2.0."
DC-SIP v2.0 provides OEMs with a high-function, flexible source code solution with the same high quality architecture, code and support for which DCL's other communications software is renowned. As part of DCL's rigorous development process, DC-SIP has undergone extensive unit and system testing, including complete automated regression test suites and successful interoperation with a wide range of RFC 2543 and RFC 3261 compliant SIP devices at SIPit. All code releases are fully supported and updates are supplied pre-integrated with every release. DC-SIP is fully portable, running on a huge range of hardware platforms and operating environments.
DC-SIP presents both high and low level interfaces, implemented through C, C++ and message passing APIs, to suit a variety of development environments. It provides the performance and scalability required by SIP servers, including support for SMP and distributed systems, and its high-availability and carrier-class reliability guarantee an ideal platform for embedded gateways and softswitches.
"As SIP moves mainstream, manufacturers need products that provide the levels of performance, robustness and availability that are expected from the telecom infrastructure, and suppliers that they can rely on to support their products in the field long-term," said Jonathan Cumming, Director of Marketing for Data Connection's Protocol Software. "Our independence, commitment to SIP, and consistent profitability mean that our customers benefit from our dependable support and continuous product developments. OEMs rely on our products and expertise to meet service providers' most stringent quality and reliability requirements."
