SIP Session Initiation Protocol, An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the IETF (RFC3261).
SIP is a text-based protocol suitable for integrated voice-data applications. SIP is designed for voice
transmission and uses fewer resources and is considerably less complex than H.323. All Grandst

STUN Simple Traversal of UDP over NATs is a network protocol allowing clients behind NAT (or multiple
NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side port associated by
the NAT with a particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP communication between two
hosts that are both behind NAT routers. The protocol is defined in RFC 3489. STUN will usually work we
with non-symmetric NAT routers.
