SipExchange R 0.0.1a

1. Registration service: On SIP registration, the system authenticates the subscribers and stores their locations for routing inbound call sessions.
2. Proxy service: Supports SIP to SIP call session setup and tear-down. Inbound calls to SipExchange subscribers are routed to the subscribers' current locations. The service also allows subscribers to make outbound calls to other subscribers and non-subscribers.
3. CDR generation: The SipExchange server produces call detail records (CDRs) and stores them in the database for billing and reporting applications.
4. External call control: The basic framework for external call control using IN/AIN-like triggers is included.
5. Web-based administration and reporting: System administrators can administer SIP domains and subscribers. They can also tune system parameters and manage CDRs. The reports allow the system administrators to view user locations and CDRs.

TODOs

1. Enhancements to the external call control feature:
• Support media services for playing voice announcements, collect in-band DTMF digits and report them to the SCP (service logic), perform speech recognition, etc.
• Registration-time triggers.
• Presence-related triggers.
2. Subscriber and domain features. Namely:
1. Voice mail
2. Operator
   
3. Call queues
   
4. On-demand media streaming
3. Interface to SIP carriers: Will allow administrators to define rules that the proxy will use to route sessions to SIP carriers.
   
4. Statistics:  The system will monitor load and performance of the system and generate reports.
   
5. Load-sharing and Fail-over: You will be able to add additional servers for the purpose of load-sharing and fail-over.
