> I clearly explained why SIP over websocket is an overkill in the below mail thread. Please read it and don't argue that it is working.

I argue that it *works* and it is *not* an overkill.


> All the working stuff is not good.

Are you asserting that my software is not good??? who are you to say that???
Have I said that most probably all the software you have coded sucks?


> Infact for any protocol, the first idea pop-up is to tunnel the complete inside (For Ex: ISUP over SIP) but always better ways to solve it.

So, why do you tunnel SIP over UDP or TCP? Instead create a new
transport level protocol on top of the IP layer and call it
SIP-Ravindran.



> I think that you confusing the argument with script & protocol. I agree that WWW world works with PHP for server side and Javascript, CSS for client side but I'm talking about HTTP protocol in case of legacy web. Of course, HTTP is not designed for real-time communication. So, we need some signaling protocol like Jingle, Websocket with offer/answer (ROAP) to make it work.

ROAP is just about negotiating media! You still need a signaling
protocol (for example to tell the server "who you want to call"). Such
signaling protocol can be a custom JSON over WebSocket, or can be SIP
over WebSocket or whatever over WebSocket (or over HTTP with Comet).

And you still don't understand that WebSocket is not an application
protocol, but a transport protocol. You insist in saying "Websocket
with offer/answer (ROAP)", so how to signal the destination of the
audio/video call? You need a WebSocket subprotocol on top of the
WebSocket transport for that, for example *SIP* (or whatever you
choose).


> The base idea of defining the protocol is to provide the basic building blocks and new service shall be developed using these building block. In case basic building block is well defined, building the new service will not be impossible. Normally, standard protocol will undergo through review which the basic new service needs.

> I'm talking about the performance because I know that success story SIP written in C over SIP written in Java. In case you argue for SIP plugin vs native SIP, the performance may not be much difference. Also, the download of the entire protocol is worse than in-build protocol by any means.

Ok ok, say what you want (the same again and again). Good luck and bye.
