Why 3261 is special

It sets up and tears down calls but carries no audio itself, which is why a SIP call needs RTP alongside it.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

3 lotuses, 2 coils of rope, 6 hobbles, 1 stroke

3 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 1 × 1 = 3,261. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

5 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 1 vertical wedge (units place)

54 × 60 + 21 = 3261. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Connection
SIP sets up the call and RTP carries the audio, which is why a working signalling path does not guarantee working sound.

Technology & computing

  • RFC 3261 specifies SIP for creating, modifying and terminating sessions. Media flows separately, commonly over RTP, and the split is why firewalls and NAT complicate voice over IP.
