In many cases, SIP may not be necessary to integrate media servers into conferences. if you want to play media into an IP multicast or unicast session or record a session, it is sufficient to tell the server the address using the RTSP SETUP message. SIP may support third-party invitations in the future, but RTSP likely will not due to its different role. If a conference participant (Alice) wants to get a media server into a conference using an MCU, it could invite it using SIP, indicating the MCU as the third party to be contacted. The media server then invites itself to the MCU using SIP and obtains the necessary transport information.
