Ring (formerly SFLphone) is an open-source SIP/IAX2 compatible softphone for Linux, Windows and OS X. Ring is free software released under the GNU General Public License. Packages are available for all major distributions including Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva and the latest Ubuntu releases.[1]

Ring is one of the few softphones under Linux to support PulseAudio out of the box. The Ubuntu documentation recommends it for enterprise use because of features like conferencing and attended call transfer.[2] In 2009, CIO magazine listed Ring (as SFLphone) among the top 5 open source VoIP softphones to watch.[3]

It is maintained by Savoir-faire Linux.[4][5]

French documentation is available on Ubuntu-fr website.[6]

Ring design

Ring is based on a MVC model: Daemon and client are two separate processes that communicate through D-Bus. The Model is the daemon. Daemon handles all the processing including communication layer (SIP/IAX), audio capture and playback, etc. ... View is the GTK+ or KDE graphical user interface. Controller is D-Bus that enables communication between client and server.
