SIPGO is library for writing fast SIP services in GO language.
It comes with SIP stack (RFC 3261) optimized for fast parsing.
For experimental features checkout also
github.com/emiago/sipgox
It adds media, call, dialog creation on top of sipgo more easily.
Fetch lib with:
go get github.com/emiago/sipgo
NOTE: LIB MAY HAVE API CHANGES UNTIL STABLE VERSION.
To keep project development you can support it
Also, if you are using lib in any way, we would like to share it here.
Supported protocols
- UDP
- TCP
- TLS
- WS
- WSS
Examples
- Stateful proxy example/proxysip
- Register with authentication example/register
- RTP echo with sipgox example/dialog
Tools developed:
- CLI softphone for easy testing gophone
- Simple proxy where NAT is problem psip
- ... your tool can be here
Performance
As example you can find example/proxysip
as simple version of statefull proxy. It is used for stress testing with sipp
.
To find out more about performance check the latest results:

Usage
Lib allows you to write easily sip servers, clients, stateful proxies, registrars or any sip routing. Writing in GO we are not limited to handle SIP requests/responses in many ways, or to integrate and scale with any external services (databases, caches...).
UAS/UAC build
Using server or client handle for UA you can build incoming or outgoing requests.
ua, _ := sipgo.NewUA() // Build user agent
srv, _ := sipgo.NewServer(ua) // Creating server handle
client, _ := sipgo.NewClient(ua) // Creating client handle
srv.OnInvite(inviteHandler)
srv.OnAck(ackHandler)
srv.OnCancel(cancelHandler)
srv.OnBye(byeHandler)
// For registrars
// srv.OnRegister(registerHandler)
ctx, _ := signal.NotifyContext(ctx, os.Interrupt)
go srv.ListenAndServe(ctx, "udp", "127.0.0.1:5060")
go srv.ListenAndServe(ctx, "tcp", "127.0.0.1:5061")
go srv.ListenAndServe(ctx, "ws", "127.0.0.1:5080")
<-ctx.Done()
- Server handle creates listeners and reacts on incoming requests. More on server transactions
- Client handle allows creating transaction requests More on client transactions
TLS transports
// TLS
conf := sipgo.GenerateTLSConfig(certFile, keyFile, rootPems)
srv.ListenAndServeTLS(ctx, "tcp", "127.0.0.1:5061", conf)
srv.ListenAndServeTLS(ctx, "ws", "127.0.0.1:5081", conf)
Server Transaction
Server transaction is passed on handler
// Incoming request
srv.OnInvite(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
res := sip.NewResponseFromRequest(req, code, reason, body)
// Send response
tx.Respond(res)
select {
case m := <-tx.Acks(): // Handle ACK . ACKs on 2xx are send as different request
case m := <-tx.Cancels(): // Handle Cancel
case <-tx.Done():
// Signal transaction is done.
// Check any errors with tx.Err() to have more info why terminated
return
}
// terminating handler terminates Server transaction automaticaly
})
Server stateless response
srv := sipgo.NewServer()
...
func ackHandler(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
res := sip.NewResponseFromRequest(req, code, reason, body)
srv.WriteResponse(res)
}
srv.OnACK(ackHandler)
Client Transaction
Using client handle allows easy creating and sending request.
Unless you customize transaction request with opts by default client.TransactionRequest
will build all other
headers needed to pass correct sip request.
Here is full example:
ctx := context.Background()
client, _ := sipgo.NewClient(ua) // Creating client handle
// Request is either from server request handler or created
req.SetDestination("10.1.2.3") // Change sip.Request destination
tx, err := client.TransactionRequest(ctx, req) // Send request and get client transaction handle
defer tx.Terminate() // Client Transaction must be terminated for cleanup
...
select {
case res := <-tx.Responses():
// Handle responses
case <-tx.Done():
// Wait for termination
return
}
Client stateless request
client, _ := sipgo.NewClient(ua) // Creating client handle
req := sip.NewRequest(method, &recipment)
// Send request and forget
client.WriteRequest(req)
Dialog handling (NEW)
DialogClient
and DialogServer
allow easier managing multiple dialog (Calls) sessions
UAC:
contactHDR := sip.ContactHeader{
Address: sip.Uri{User: "test", Host: "127.0.0.200", Port: 5088},
}
dialogCli := NewDialogClient(cli, contactHDR)
// Attach Bye handling for dialog
srv.OnBye(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
err := dialogCli.ReadBye(req, tx)
//handle error
})
// Create dialog session
dialog, err := dialogCli.Invite(ctx, recipientURI, nil)
// Wait for answer
err = dialog.WaitAnswer(ctx, AnswerOptions{})
// Check dialog response dialog.InviteResponse (SDP) and return ACK
err = dialog.Ack(ctx)
// Send BYE to terminate call
err = dialog.Bye(ctx)
UAS:
uasContact := sip.ContactHeader{
Address: sip.Uri{User: "test", Host: "127.0.0.200", Port: 5099},
}
dialogSrv := NewDialogServer(cli, uasContact)
srv.OnInvite(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
dlg, err := dialogSrv.ReadInvite(req, tx)
// handle error
dlg.Respond(sip.StatusTrying, "Trying", nil)
dlg.Respond(sip.StatusOK, "OK", nil)
// Instead Done also dlg.State() can be used
<-dlg.Done()
})
srv.OnAck(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
dialogSrv.ReadAck(req, tx)
})
srv.OnBye(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
dialogSrv.ReadBye(req, tx)
})
Stateful Proxy build
Proxy is combination client and server handle that creates server/client transaction. They need to share same ua same like uac/uas build. Forwarding request is done via client handle:
srv.OnInvite(func(req *sip.Request, tx sip.ServerTransaction) {
ctx := context.Background()
req.SetDestination("10.1.2.3") // Change sip.Request destination
// Start client transaction and relay our request. Add Via and Record-Route header
clTx, err := client.TransactionRequest(ctx, req, sipgo.ClientRequestAddVia, sipgo.ClientRequestAddRecordRoute)
// Send back response
res := <-cltx.Responses()
tx.Respond(res)
})
SIP Debug
You can have full SIP messages dumped from transport into Debug level message.
Example:
transport.SIPDebug = true
Feb 24 23:32:26.493191 DBG UDP read 10.10.0.10:5060 <- 10.10.0.100:5060:

Credits
This project was based on gosip by project by @ghetovoice, but started as new project to achieve best/better performance and to improve API. This unfortunately required many design changes, therefore this libraries are not compatible.
