Java Community Process (JCP) is the home of the international developer community whose

chartert is to develop and evolve Java technology specifications, reference implementations, and

technology compatibility kits.

Java

Specification

Request

A Java specification request (JSR) is a document submitted to the Program Management Office

(PMO) by one or more members to propose the development of a new Specification or significant

revision to an existing specification.

National

Institute of

Standards and

Technology

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Advanced Networking Technologies

Division provides a public domain implementation of the JAVA Standard for SIP (JAIN SIP),

which serves as a reference implementation for the standard. The JSIP stack can work in proxy

server or user agent scenarios and has been used in numerous commercial and research projects.

It supports RFC 3261 and a number of extension RFCs including RFC 3265 ( Subscribe/Notify)

and RFC 3262 (Provisional Reliable Responses).

NIST See National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Route Set The route set is the list of servers that need to be traversed to send a request to the peer.

Session Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences, with one or more

participants

Stateful Proxy A SIP transaction consists of a single request and any number of responses to that request.

TLS

accelerator

TLS accelerator is a separate hardware that takes care of TLS functionality.

Transaction Transactions are a fundamental component of SIP. A transaction is a request sent by a client

transaction (using the transport layer) to a server transaction, along with all responses to that

request sent from the server transaction back to the client.
