End-to-end call setup delay is one of the most important grade of service (GoS) parameters for VoIP networks with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). A typical subscriber wants to have a connection established as soon as possible. From the operator's perspective call setup time is also crucial because he needs to know how probability of successful packet transmission on SIP links is related to a call setup delay. Then he can make...

The most important GoS parameter for networks with SIP protocol is end-to-end call setup delay. So far there were no coherent models allowing calculation of these parameters for networks with SIP protocol. Few models were developed but they are insufficient. In the paper we propose model which allows end-to-end call setup delay calculation for networks with SIP protocol. The model is using chain of M/G/1/K models and is applicable...

W pracy przedstawiono problem zapewnienia odpowiednio wysokich wartości parametrów GoS oraz QoS w sieciach z protokołem SIP, z uwzględnieniem szczególnych cech protokołu takich, jak np. mechanizm transakcji. Następnie zaprezentowano szereg różnorodnych prób rozwiązania tego problemu. W opisie zwrócono uwagę na takie aspekty jak: obsługa protokołu SIP w sieci DiffServ (SIP-Q), konwergencja sieci SIP i PSTN (SIP-T), wykorzystanie...
