The concept of an Application Server (AS) i'm using is based on the 3GPP IMS
model, which is defined as an entity offering value-added IP multimedia
services - basically a way for 3rd party applications to be slotted into an
IMS architecture. It, (the AS), can act as a SIP UAC, UAS or B2BUA ,
depending on the role and service it is performing.

Although i'm certainly not a java expert, from looking briefly through the
JSR-116 spec it seems this library gives you ability to create and deploy
SIP based services, and so would be classed as an Application Server
creation environment. So taking a very broad generalisation - the ASs
created from this library could be seen as functionality alike to the ASs in
the IMS world.

Note- the AS we are pursuing would not be strictly constrained by library
implementations of the SIP standards; it is more a representation of a
conceptual idea.

Hi Cathal,

I have a silly question, what is a Application server? The google tell
me there is a JAVA spec that is JSR-116(SIP Servlet), a AS is a server
conform to this standard?

Thanks in advance you clarify me!
