Abstract
This chapter describes the fundamental call signaling protocols used for call management in VoIP communication including H.323, SIP, and Megaco. These protocols are also evaluated for performance efficiency with respect to various aspects like call setup and management issues, addressing and security aspects, complexity analysis. Finally, the current status of these protocols after various ratifications and updates is presented.
