I found this book covered too many points on the spectrum. The first half goes over everything BUT SIP. Most people who want to learn the generic SIP structure already know how a simple telephone and data network operates.

This takes a little too long to get the the "meat" but from there on gives a pretty good detail of the SIP format for anyone looking at understanding the basic SIP code format.

As a fundamentals book for anyone wanting to start learning SIP programming it would be a good reference to have on the shelf. Skip the first half though.

Good book on SIP. Bought it to expand our knowledge of SIP in an Asterisk enviroment.

The initial introduction is a bit too-long. I think that when you buy a book on SIP, you already know IP telephony and alikes works.

Before buying, keep in mind that the book is on SIP, generally speaking, and SIP is used on lots of places, not only on Internet/IP telephony.

This is a great book for absolute beginners. If you have already read the SIP RFC(s) then this book is clearly not for you, on the other hand if you are an engineer beginning to learn SIP then this could provide a great introduction.
The first few chapters are not about SIP but about telecom, VoIP in general and IETF process. I found that quite useful too.
After having read this book you will be able to understand RFC 3261 much better. This is a fast read, I finished this book in a day when I read it several years ago. This could also be a whirlwind refresher for someone who had once worked on SIP but now wants to brush up for a sales meeting tommorow.

This is the best book for who wants to know about SIP initially, especially on what SIP can do conceptually. This book is feasible for everyone that includes executives, managers and engineers. This book also provides very good related information in the Internet Forum.

I thought this book was very helpful to understand the basic concepts of SIP.

SIP Demystified covers not only SIP protocol itself but also why SIP is so good in Internet world. That would help us to understand SIP so much. Especially, this book is recommended to, like me, those who are moving from switched voice into a data networking environment as editorial reviewer says.
I hope that SIP Demystified will be translated into Japanese soon for my colleagues or friends.

Author is really good but the way SIP described in the book is a kind of child-story , details on important parts of SIP and on unified services are skipped instead make-up parts are highlighted.

Great trade, thank you for shipping it. Though it took bit longer than expected, but i would blame the shipping company for it :-)

This is one of the worst books yet. There are spelling errors and grammer errors throughout the book. Nowhere in this book does the author talk about ENUM, DDDS or NAPTR. Nor does he talk about DHCP (option 120) nor DNS. The examples are poor, not enough detail and it falls along the line of "Once Upon A Time." No offence to the Brothers Grimm.

SIP DEMYSTIFIED SEEMS TO BE A MOST INTERESTING CONTRIBUTION TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHY THE UMTS 3RD GENERATION WILL BE UP TO OFFER NEW SERVICES.
IN THIS BOOK, SIP IS FULLY UNVEALED. THE AUTHOR, MR CAMARILLO, PUTS IT IN ITS OWN CONTEXT AND BRINGS IN ALL SUPPORTING PROTOCOLS FOR A BETTER COMPREHENSION.
