5. What is SIP?
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the IETF's standard for establishing VoIP connections.  SIP is an application layer control protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants.  The architecture of SIP is similar to that of HTTP (client-server protocol).  Requests are generated by the client and sent to the server.  The server processes the requests and then sends a response to the client.  A request and the responses for that request make a transaction.

SIP is widely considered a protocol of choice for VoIP communication.
