[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] gsip want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ?

Project Full Name:  The GNU SIP library
Project System Name:  gsip
License:  lgpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=171
Description: The LGPL gsip library provides an implementation of SIP described 
by RFC2543 (www.ietf.org). SIP is the Session Initatiation Protocol. It is used 
to initiate, modify and teminate mutimedia sessions. SIP handles registration 
services and negociation of media. It is a telephony standard for VoIP which 
aims to replace H323 and instant messaging applications. The SIP library can be 
used in embedded systems (cellular) as well as for implementing proxy, gateway, 
registration and conference servers. Port currently exist on GNU/Linux(2.2), 
solaris (2.5) and VxWorks (RT OS).

SIP facilitates implementations of services for next generation telephony 
networks. A LGPL SIP library should accelerate developpement of low cost 
telephony and migation to a mail-model for &quot;billing&quot; phone calls. 
(billing = 0$...) 

The SIP stack (the gsip library) is still under heavy developpement. It already 
provides minimal parser code, complete multithreaded transaction handling in 
conformance to RFC2543 (through finite state machine). The applcation layer 
controls the transaction with events and is aware of modification through a set 
of callbacks. At this step, only a transactionnal API is provided. A higher API 
(like connect()/disconnect()) should be provided in next developpement. The 
stack currently use UDP (TCP is in next step) SDP used by SIP (rfc2723) is also 
nearly finished. The stack is yet usable to developp IP phone on it.
