Package: The Open Sip Registrar Daemon
System name: osrd
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

osrd is a SIP registrar and redirect server. SIP is the Session Initiation 
Protocol and is described by the rfc2543. This is a protocol to initiate, 
modify and terminate multimedia sessions mainly to be used on the IP network. 
It\'s a signalling protocol for next generation telephony network and VoIP. 
osrd acts like a gatekeeper  does for H323 systems. osrd works the following 
way: Users (on behalf of their SIP user-agent), send registrations periodically 
to osrd. When a User invites somebody, he first ask osrd about the active 
locations of the callee. The availablity information is sent back to the user 
and used to contact him through another route. SIP deployement in some years 
will considerably simplify locations constraint for traditionnall telephony. 
Note that osrd has no proxy features and thus could not provide NAT or firewall 
capabilities. This will come in other projects.

Preliminary developpements has already been done and is available at
http://osip.atosc.org/osr.html

The latest version is running on anode.atosc.org since weeks. (This is a public 
server which should be used for testing only!)
