• IP PBXs scale for the enterprise, Network World Fusion, Sept. 18, 2000.

  We found that Version 2 of the ITU-T's H.323 standard is the most widely supported voice-over-IP standard today, with 88% of the products supporting it (see Figure 4). However, H.323 does not appear to be the long-term direction of the IP-PBX vendor community. Only 13% of the products currently claim support for H.323 Version 3. ... [T]he big trend is clearly toward Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which was published as an Internet draft document last year. While only 13% of the products we surveyed support SIP now, more than two-thirds of the vendors said they will implement SIP over the next year.
