Rick Dean currently maintains the sipbakeoff.org domain. A DHCP server must be available for use by laptops and possibly SIP phones. DHCP hosts should be mapped to dhcp N .sipbakeoff.org , where N is the least significant number of the IP address. For example, 128.59.16.123 would appear as dhcp123.sipbakeoff.org . Implementations should be entered into DNS before the interoperability test event.
Users register implementations via a web page .
Attendees are expected to bring their own computer equipment, although providing a few VGA monitors or arranging for an equipment rental service is sometimes helpful to minimize transportation issues. Hosts also are encouraged to block hotel rooms in the vicinity of the interoperability event facility. However, booking lodging is the responsibility of the attendees. Providing shuttle transportation from the hotel to the interoperability test event facility is a nice gesture, but may not be needed, as many participants will rent at least one car per company, just to transport equipment. SIP interoperability test events are not designed to be a profit opportunity for the host.
