=head1 NAME Net::SIP - Framework SIP (Voice Over IP, RFC3261) =head1 SYNOPSIS ... =head1 DESCRIPTION Net::SIP consists of packages for handling the SIP packets, for transport of the packets, for processing the packets and on top of all that a simplified layer for common tasks. Addionally L<Net::SIP::Util> provides utility functions and L<Net::SIP::Debug> provides a debugging layer used by all these packages. Especially it provides the function B<invoke_callback> which is used for all callbacks unless documentation specifies otherwise. This function supports a variety of different callback styles. For first and simple applications you best start with L<Net::SIP::Simple>. If this is no longer enough you might look at the details of L<Net::SIP::Dispatcher>, L<Net::SIP::Endpoint>, L<Net::SIP::Register> and L<Net::SIP::StatelessProxy>. Although these packages are in itself well documented the functionality and the design is best understandable if you look how it gets used in the source of L<Net::SIP::Simple>. =head2 SIP packet handling =over 4 =item L<SIP::Net::Packet> The base class for handling SIP packets and provides ways to parse, construct and manipulate SIP packets. =item L<SIP::Net::Request> Derived from L<SIP::Net::Packet> and handles the request packets. Provides ways to create special requests like ACK or CANCEL based on previous requests and responses, for creating responses based on requests, for authorization of requests. =item L<SIP::Net::Response> Derived from L<SIP::Net::Packet> and handles the response packets. =item L<SIP::Net::SDP> Handles SDP bodies from SIP packets. Provides ways to parse, construct these bodies, to get media information from them and to manipulate the SDP data for NAT etc. =back =head2 Transport of SIP packets =over 4 =item L<Net::SIP::Leg> Encapsulates socket for transport of packet. Provides way to find out, if target is reachable through this socket. Prepares incoming, outgoing and forwarding packets by removing or adding header like B<Via>, B<Record-Route>. =item L<Net::SIP::Dispatcher> Handles new packets coming in through a L<Net::SIP::Leg>. Delivers outgoing packets through the appropriate L<Net::SIP::Leg>. Handles timeouts and retransmission of outgoing packets, lookup of the appropriate leg through DNS etc. =item L<Net::SIP::Dispatcher::Eventloop> Simple implementation of an event loop for handling socket events and timers. Can be replaced to integrate into other event loops, like L<Tk>, L<Lib::Event> or L<POE>. =back =head2 Processing of SIP packets, application layer =over 4 =item L<Net::SIP::Endpoint> Implements a SIP endpoint (UAC,UAS). Provides ways to INVITE or BYE calls or to handle incoming calls. Calls themselves will be handled by L<Net::SIP::Endpoint::Context>. =item L<Net::SIP::Registrar> Simple implementation of a registrar. =item L<Net::SIP::StatelessProxy> Simple implementation of a stateless proxy. Stateful proxies should probably be implemented by putting multiple L<Net::SIP::Endpoint>s together. =item L<Net::SIP::Blocker> Can block requests by method name with custom error code. =item L<Net::SIP::ReceiveChain> Can contain various objects for processing objects. Useful in connection with L<Net::SIP::Authorize>. =item L<Net::SIP::Redirect> Works together with a registrar and redirects requests. =item L<Net::SIP::Authorize> If put into a L<Net::SIP::ReceiveChain> it requests and checks authorization and gives only authorized requests to the next member of the chain. =back =head2 Simplified Layer for common tasks =over 4 =item Net::SIP::Simple Provides simple layer for common tasks and tests, like sending a voice message to somebody, receiving a message or even implementing an answer machine. Together with L<Net::SIP::Simple::RTP> it is possible to handle simple RTP data (PCMU/8000). =back =head2 Error handling Unless otherwise documented the common way to propagate errors is to raise an exception, e.g. call die(). This might especially happen when parsing packets from strings, so unless you want to crash your application on bad input you should catch these exceptions with eval. =head1 EXPORTS By default nothing is exported. There are various arguments for exporting: =over 4 =item :alias Exports constants as aliases for the Net::SIP::* packages, e.g. 'Simple' for 'Net::SIP::Simple', 'Registrar' for 'Net::SIP::Registrar', 'Packet' for 'Net::SIP::Packet', 'NATHelper_Client' for 'Net::SIP::NATHelper::Client' etc. =item :util Exports everything (tag ':all') from L<Net::SIP::Util>. =item :debug Exports the default exports from L<Net::SIP::Debug>. =item :all Everything from ':debug', ':util' and ':alias'. =item rtp=MINPORT-MAXPORT|rtp:MINPORT-MAXPORT Set the range of ports to be used for creating RTP sockets to MINPORT..MAXPORT. This affects L<Net::SIP::Util::create_rtp_sockets>. =item debug=LEVEL|debug:LEVEL Set Debugging level to LEVEL =item string Strings where the first character is upper case will be interpreted as aliases for Net::SIP::* and it will try to export it. If the first character is lower case it will try to import it from L<Net::SIP::Util>. =back =head2 EXAMPLES use Net::SIP 'invoke_callback'; # use Net::SIP::Util 'invoke_callback' use Net::SIP ':debug'; # use Net::SIP::Debug use Net::SIP ':util'; # use Net::SIP::Util ':all' use Net::SIP ':alias'; Packet->new( ... ); # Net::SIP::Packet->new( ... ) # restrict rtp sockets from command line perl -MNet::SIP=rtp:4000-4010 program.pl =head1 BUGS Support for TCP and SIPS and not or not fully implemented. =head1 COPYRIGHT This module and are modules in the Net::SIP Hierarchy distributed together with this module are copyright (c) 2006-2013, Steffen Ullrich.
