Introduction The term "Voice over IP Peering" (VoIP Peering) has historically been used to describe a wide variety of practices pertaining to the interconnection of service provider networks and to the delivery of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP [2]) call termination over those interconnections. The discussion of these interconnections has at times been confused by the fact that the term "peering" is used in various contexts to describe interconnection at different levels in a protocol stack. Session Peering for Multimedia Interconnect focuses on how to identify and route real-time sessions (such as VoIP calls) at the session layer, and it does not (necessarily) cover the exchange of packet-routing data or media sessions. In particular, "layer 5 network" is used here to refer to the interconnection between SIP Malas & Meyer Informational [Page 2]Show full document text
