​​osip2 and exosip2​​

One of the earliest open source SIP stack, so it enjoys good number of adopters.

​​PJSIP​​

The SIP (and media) stack features in this website.

PJSIP SIP stack is written in C and is mainly targetted for small footprint, feature rich user agents, although it has attracted some server side developments too.

Footprint is very small (<200KB), performance is very good (thousands of calls per second), and it is very very portable (Windows, Windows Mobile (WinCE, PDA, SmartPhone), Linux, *nix, MacOS X, *BSD (FreeBSD), RTEMS, Symbian OS, etc.), which makes it good candidate for embedded developments. Complete media framework is available with PJMEDIA. [GPL or other]

​​resiprocate​​

C++ stack from ​​SIPFoundry​​ non-profit SIP community project. The community is backed by many commercial companies and it hosts health number of active developers. (Vocal)

​​Sofia SIP​​
