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, the REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) protocol, and the SIP usage document defined by the working group. This document is a product of the Peer-to-Peer Session Initiation Protocol Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
