Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the case of trying to integrate HTTP with an IP telephony system that is strictly required to exhibit a high degree of real-time performance, it is difficult to provide any way for determining when information about real-time situations should be encoded using HTML, and for determining that information is reliable. sexual manner etc.

In actual business, it is difficult to achieve convergence between IP Telephony and HTTP
