The IESG has received a request from the Peer-to-Peer Session Initiation Protocol WG (p2psip) to consider the following document: - 'Concepts and Terminology for Peer to Peer SIP' <draft-ietf-p2psip-concepts-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-03-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines concepts and terminology for the use of the Session Initiation Protocol in a peer-to-peer environment where the traditional proxy-registrar and message routing functions are replaced by a distributed mechanism. These mechanisms may be implemented using a distributed hash table or other distributed data mechanism with similar external properties. This document includes a high-level view of the functional relationships between the network elements defined herein, a conceptual model of operations, and an outline of the related problems addressed by the P2PSIP working group and the RELOAD protocol and SIP usage document defined by the working group. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-p2psip-concepts/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-p2psip-concepts/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
