RFC 3261 defines these server elements:
- A proxy server "is an intermediary entity that acts as both a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. A proxy server primarily plays the role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted user. Proxies are also useful for enforcing policy (for example, making sure a user is allowed to make a call). A proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites specific parts of a request message before forwarding it."
- "A registrar is a server that accepts REGISTER requests and places the information it receives in those requests into the location service for the domain it handles."
- "A redirect server is a user agent server that generates 3xx responses to requests it receives, directing the client to contact an alternate set of URIs.The redirect server allows SIP Proxy Servers to direct SIP session invitations to external domains."
The RFC specifies: "It is an important concept that the distinction between types of SIP servers is logical, not physical."
