libsip

libsip is a library implementation of the sip protocol as described in
rfc3261. libsip intends to implement
parsing the entire SIP Protocol, but will only provide helpers for certain
common use cases. I begin developing this library because i was frustrated with
many of the SIP clients / Libraries on linux.

WIP This library is still very much under construction.

Running the examples

git clone https://github.com/ByteHeathen/libsip
cd /libsip
# This example expects a server with the credentials in examples/udp_register.rs
# to be running without it will fail.
cargo run --example registration
# This example expects a server with the credentials in examples/console.rs
# to be running without it will fail. It prints all requests received to the terminal.
cargo run --example console

dependencies

• nom 6.0.0-alpha1
• rand 0.7.3
• md5 0.7.0
• sha 1.0.3
• serde 1.0.107

Development

I've been using fusionpbx as the testing server for this library.
I use a VirtualBox virtual machine running in bridged mode to simulate a PBX server running
on my local network. At this point i have only been able to implement Placing Calls,
Sending Messages and SIP registration.

Alternatives

• parsip
  Is only for parsing SIP messages. I wanted libsip to be able to handle some user case's
  specifically Registration.
• sip-codec
  I attempted to use this library first, lots of features are not implemented like writing
  sip requests and a few other fairly common things. I also wanted SIP Headers to be in the form of an enum witch would have required
  basically rewriting the whole crate.
• sip
  This crate appears to be empty
• tokio-sip
  This crate also appears to be empty
