What is SIP server?

Why do you need a SIP server?

Using SIP, you can connect with a SIP UA (e.g., SIP hardphone, SIP softphone, etc.) directly without requiring any servers in between. Using those slower connections might be okay when you have only a handful of destinations to connect to, but even then, updating the location of each destination and remembering all of the addresses and usernames can be a pain! SIP server can do all of this for you, making your communication simple and efficient.

SIP server offers these functionalities:

Locate and register user agents' locations
Provide ability to send/receive messages

How else can you use SIP server for?

As part of a secure corporate network (only allowing a proxy server to handle SIP signaling)
Solving NAT issue
Converting TCP-UDP/UDP-TCP for SIP connections
