 SIP FAQ : SIP Protocol Operation :
How does a caller find its proxy server? |
| Calls typically proceed directly to the callee's domain. For example, when calling alice@example.com, the INVITE request would be sent to the SIP server for the domain example.com, found via DNS.
If a "local" (outbound) proxy is needed for outgoing calls, it currently needs to be manually configured, similar to the configuration of web proxies in browsers. Another possibility is to use DHCP or SLP through one of the extensions listed in http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/sip/drafts_dhcp.html.
