SIP Address

[VOIPoBrandon]

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), commonly found on port 5060 udp/tcp.

Now you ask what the significance is of a SIP address, the answer is simple, you can essentially call from SIP to SIP, for the costs of bandwidth and cpu cycles. Many softphones will give you a SIP address you can be contacted at, i.e. sip:johndoe@hostname.com:5060, inwhich our system will let you forward to that SIP address much like a normal telephone number.

So just think of it as another method of connecting a call between users.
