VOIP Client Application using LibLinphone SDK

About Liblinphone

Liblinphone is an open source, high-level library integrating SIP voice/video calls and instant messaging features into the application by single easy to use API.  Generally, telecommunications is made up of two things namely media and signaling.

Media includes transport of voice or video, encoding and decoding whereas signaling includes routing calls, ringing, accepting a call and many more.

Liblinphone is a cross-platform SDK which aims at bringing the mentioned two things together and doing most of the things automatically. It uses Mediastreamer2 for voice/video streaming and uses belle-sip for SIP signaling.

All variants of linphone are directly based on it:

  • linphone (gtk interface)
  • linphonec (console interface)
  • linphone for iOS
  • linphone for Android

Belle-sip is a modern library implementing SIP. It comprises a simple HTTP/HTTPS client implementation. It is written in C language, with an object-oriented API.

Mediastreamer2 is a lightweight, open source and powerful streaming engine specialized in telephony applications especially for voice and video.
