Thanks for the reply; current at our faculty we have tested Broadsoft,
Sylantro, Vocal Data, Asterisk, SER, and Lignup, as well as having live
deployments against these platforms including SIPerator.
I think we have a good interoperability going as we are testing end-to-end
(SIP Phone to Class 5 and/or Call generator) with our product, the G6
Universal Gateway. This is good because not only do we test SIP but Access
Gateway VoATM, FTTH, VoIP, Reverse Gateway and Trunking Gateway on the same
Gateway platform. We are limited with SIP phones and only test voice;
therefore I feel an Interop lab displaying all functionality would be
useful.
This forum has been an excellent resource for documents and software
concerning SIP and I look forward to see it go the next mile. I look forward
to your article.

David,
I have been researching that question for an article I'm
writing
for New Telephony. There is no lab like CableLabs, nor is there a group
in
the industry that does certification. In fact, there seems to be a lot
of
resistance to the very idea of certification. It appears this is partly
because there has not been certification before and partly because some
in
the industry think SIP systems are more complex than, say, 802.11
systems,
and therefore, difficult to certify.
As a journalist, I can't say definitely whether this is right,
but, so far, no certification.
The SIP Forum has sponsored the SIPit Interoperability Events
for
some time. Now, there is an effort in the SIP Forum, led by Rohan Mahy
in
the Technical Working Group, to develop standard tests SIP devices to
show
that they conform to various ways of implementing SIP. The testing would
be
done by vendors. Jay Batson highlighted in his posting a couple of days
ago
how the SIP Forum is focusing on technical recommendations. A number of
people I talked to for my article indicated this will be very helpful,
but
it is not a formal interop lab.
