Abstract
This document specifies interworking between the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) and QSIG within corporate telecommunication networks
(also known as enterprise networks). SIP is an Internet
application-layer control (signalling) protocol for creating,
modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants.
These sessions include, in particular, telephone calls. QSIG is a
signalling protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating
circuit-switched calls (in particular, telephone calls) within
Private Integrated Services Networks (PISNs). QSIG is specified in a
number of Ecma Standards and published also as ISO/IEC standards.
