SIP
Last modified: Monday, April 21, 2008 

(1) Short for Session Initiation Protocol, or Session Initiation Protocol, an application-layer control protocol; a signaling protocol for Internet Telephony. SIP can establish sessions for features such as audio/videoconferencing, interactive gaming, and call forwarding to be deployed over IP networks, thus enabling service providers to integrate basic IP telephony services with Web, e-mail, and chat services. In addition to user authentication, redirect and registration services, SIP Server supports traditional telephony features such as personal mobility, time-of-day routing and call forwarding based on the geographical location of the person being called.

(2) Short for single in-line package, a type of housing for electronic components in which the connecting pins protrude from one side. Compare with DIP and PGA.

A SIP is also called a Single In-line Pin Package (SIPP).
