SIP-B

From Bandipedia

The SIP-B initiative started in 2004 when the business community needed to integrate the feature functionality of a Master-Slave protocol like MGCP with the main stream use of SIP (Peer to Peer). A group of vendors and hardware manufacturers came together to decide on some common implementations and reference designs, based on SIP for business, calling it SIP-B. The new standard would provide the benefit of SIP with the feature functionality of MGCP.

For example, SIP-B addresses how to create common implementations of PBX-type signaling features such as BLA, SIP Forking, and line sharing features. After authoring those common implementations, the industry and main stream VoIP software vendors like Citel, Mitel, Polycom, Siemens and Sylantro submitted its work to the IEEE for consideration.

SIP-B will be the main stream protocol for all business applications but will most likely be ignored by the consumer based hardware manufactures. For Business applications, both end users and service providers are expected to benefit because it will simplify migration, training, implementation, and deployment.
