IETF Protocols
Some of the important protocols utilised by the EPC have been developed for the Internet
through the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Four of these protocols, to be considered in
this section, are:
A summary of these protocols and their functions is given in the table below.

IETF Protocols
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
SIP is an Internet protocol that is used to establish, maintain and clear down
multimedia sessions. SIP was developed by the IETF and has many similarities to
both HTTP, used for web transactions, and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol),
used for email. It is a significant protocol for LTE as it has been selected by 3GPP
as the control protocol for use within the IMS.
Background to SIP
SIP was originally intended to supporting Internet multimedia and conferencing
applications. It was first published in RFC 2543 in 1999.
There was growing interest in the use of SIP as a signalling protocol to set up not
just multimedia sessions but also simple services such as telephony. The standard
continued to evolve with the release of RFC 2543bis and eventually, in 2002, RFC
3261, which obsoletes RFC2543. This version of SIP currently has the status of a
‘proposed standard’.
