    Copyright © Nortel Networks Limited 2006 Appendix C: Basic call flows As described in component interfaces to the other network components using different protocols. These protocols are used to establish and manipulate media paths through the RTP Media Portal. This enables the SIP Application Module to control the media plane throughout the life of a session.

  • Page 113 Copyright © Nortel Networks Limited 2006 The following steps provide more detail about the call flow: 1. Client A initiates a SIP session to Client B by sending an Invite message to the SIP Application Module. Within the Invite message, Client A includes SDP information that identifies the called address (IP and port of B).
