Hi
    You can refer RFC 3372 for SIP-T Context and Architecture.

Subject: [Sip] SIP-T and BICC


All,
I am trying to understand SIP-T and BICC in detail.
>From my initial reading, both are essentially to seamlessly interface
the 
PSTN to broadband networks. SIP-T is specifically for SIP based IP
networks, 
whereas BICC is bearer independent and can interface with IP/ATM
networks 
well. Apart from that, SIP-T deals with ISUP translation and
encapsulation 
while BICC deals with extensions with ISUP for additional bearer
support. BICC CS3 will also enable SIP services to co-exist with BICC
based networks. My questions are - Are these the only key differences
between these protocols which essentially 
are intended perform the same function? If there are others, what are
they? Are there certain situations where one would fit in better than
the other, 
and if so what are these?
How well would these interoperate with each other if they have to
co-exist?

Also, any pointers to urls/whitepapers on the above (BICC versus SIP-T) 
would be appreciated.

thanks
Aarti
