Expanding JSR 116 Community in 2007: During the 1st half of 2007, the JCP community of JSR 116-compliant, SIP Servlet API 1.0-based J2EE-SIP application servers has increased with the addition of Oracle, Project Sailfin, and Sun. This is a very encouraging development for all vendors of JSR 116-based SIP application servers, as it validates the SIP Servlet programming model for creating converged IT-telecom applications based on SIP.

New entrants validate BEA WLCP's industry leadership: More than a year after BEA launched the industry's first converged IT-telecom services layer platform called BEA WebLogic Communications Platform (WLCP), and the industry's first converged JavaEE-SIP-IMS application server in BEA WebLogic SIP Server, the market is beginning to see vendor consolidations, and new market entrants, such as Oracle and IBM.

Oracle Buys Non-SIP Servlet Compliant, JBoss-based Hotsip: Oracle announced it's entrance into the SIP application server market by purchasing a non-SIP Servlet compliant, open-source JBoss-based product in Hotsip M2CE. Given that open-source application servers such as JBoss have not seen adoption by the telecom network operators, their prospects for carrier adoption looks cloudy.

SIP is for MMoIP (Multi-Media over IP): Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is commonly referred to as a Voice over IP (VoIP) protocol, or sometimes even as a "telco" protocol. These are inaccurate statements about SIP, which is an Internet protocol, as set forth by the Internet standards body, IETF. And SIP has nothing to do with any specific type of media, such as voice, since SIP is entirely media agnostic.

Turbo SIP Performance: WebLogic SIP Server on Intel and JRockit: BEA WebLogic SIP Server running on Intel Xeon and BEA JRockit JVM has generated industry-leading SIP performance benchmarks, exceeding 12 million busy hour call attempts (BHCA), with low SIP message processing latency of under 40 milli-seconds. Industry norms for call processing are 1M BHCA, and under 200 ms message processing latency.

SIP Service Logic Programming Models: BEA WLSS is a SIP Servlet based J2EE-SIP application server. IETF has drafted several programming languages and models which can be used to develop and implement SIP-based service logic which can control a specific SIP message flow, or can react to a SIP message request. The main approaches are: Call Processing Language (CPL), SIP-CGI, and SIP Servlets (JSR 116).
