Abstract

With the increasing popularity of Voice over IP, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), a protocol for session creation and management, has become more and more important. This paper is focused on SIP non-INVITE transaction (NIT) and analyzes its functional correctness and performance. We firstly propose an extension to a Coloured Petri Net (CPN) based protocol verification methodology with a performance analysis component. Following the extended methodology, CPN models for NIT are created, verified and simulated. Functional verification shows that NIT contains no livelock and dead code, but it is not free of deadlock. Simulation analysis indicates that channel loss has a signifcant impact on bandwidth consumption by NIT, and when channel loss rate is less than 20 %, the delay by the server generating its final response has great influence on NIT performance. The outcome of this research also demonstrates the effectiveness of CPN for both functional and performance analysis of network protocols.
