The majority of SIP User Agents still only support the MESSAGE method for providing Instant Messaging. However, modern Unified Communications(UC) ecosystems and more advanced messaging services, such as RCS(Rich Communication Services), are built on top of Session Mode messaging, which uses the MSRP protocol. With the addition of the new msrp_gateway module, OpenSIPS 3.3 introduces … Continue reading MSRP Gateway
