SIP Witch is an official package of the GNU Project as of August 10th
2007. GNU SIP Witch is also part of GNU Telephony & the GNU Telecom
subsystem.
GNU SIP Witch is a call and registration server for the SIP protocol.
As a call server it services call registration for SIP devices and
destination routing through SIP gateways. GNU SIP Witch does not
perform codec operations or media proxying and thereby enables SIP
endpoints to directly peer negotiate call setting and process peer to
peer media streaming even when when multiple SIP Witch call nodes at
multiple locations are involved. This means GNU SIP Witch operates
without introducing additional media latency or offering a central
point for media capture.
GNU SIP Witch is designed to support network scaling of telephony
services, rather than the heavily compute-bound solutions we find in
use today. This means a call node has a local
authentication/registration database, and this will be mirrored, so
that any active call node in a cluster will be able to accept and
service a call. This allows for the possibility of live failover
support in the future as well.
GNU SIP Witch is not a SIP "router", and does not try to address the
same things as a project like iptel "Ser". GNU SIP Witch is being
designed to create on-premise SIP telephone systems, telecenter
servers, and Internet hosted SIP telephone systems. One important
feature will include use of URI routing to support direct peer to peer
calls between service domains over the public internet without needing
mediation of an intermediary "service provider" so that people can
publish and call sip: uri's unconstrained. GNU SIP Witch is about
freedom to communicate and the removal of artifical barriers and
constraints whether imposed by monopoly service providers or by
governments.
Resources for supporting GNU SIP Witch will be consolidated and
handled principally through Savannah using the existing GNU Telecom
subsystem project found there
(https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnucomm) as a central point of
contact. This sub-project is being reorganized for this purpose.
GNU SIP Witch depends on the UCommon library, which may merge with and
become GNU Common C++ 2.0 early next year. CVS for and new
distributions of UCommon will be found in the GNU Telecom project on
an interim basis until then. GNU SIP Witch also uses libeXosip2 and
GNU oSIP, and these may be found at their respective sites. GNU SIP
Witch is licensed under the GNU General Public License V3 or later.
