SOAP is XML over HTTP, which is not unix or windows (or device) dependent Same with REST SIP is a network wire protocol, so again not OS/device dependent   There are OS/language native libraries (available on the web, etc.) which can encapsulate the above - for example Apache Axis, which can generate native Java language code stubs for SOAP services (.NET has a SOAP compiler which does the same thing for Windows,) or a third party SIP stack which would encapsulate the SIP protocol in a C++ API.

For example, some API's are based on Unix system calls, others on windows APIs. They may be device specific also.   Regards, Ramesh S

CUP has 3 APIs that can be useful to applications:   - SOAP API - Configuration/provisioning, presence status via polling or notification using XML over HTTP SOAP - REST API - Configuration/provisioning, presence status via HTTP/REST - SIP SIMPLE - Presence status, via SIP protocol   Not sure what you mean by 'modelled on which Operating System API?'

Could you please tell me that CUP API is modelled on which Operating System API?   Regards, Ramesh S
