+Sippy B2BUA is a RFC3261-compliant Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
+Back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) server software.
+
+The B2BUA is a SIP call controlling component. Unlike a SIP proxy server,
+which only maintains transaction state, the B2BUA maintains complete call
+state and participates in all call requests. For this reason it can perform
+number of functions that are not possible to implement using SIP proxy, such
+as for example accurate call accounting, pre-paid rating and billing, fail
+over call routing etc. Unlike PBX-type solutions such as Asterisk for example,
+the B2BUA doesn't perform any media relaying or processing, therefore it
+doesn't introduce any additional packet loss, delay or jitter into the
+media path.
