Baset, H. Schulzrinne, T. Schmidt, Ed. Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2016 Mailbox: fluffy@cisco.com, bbl@lowekamp.net, ekr@rtfm.com, sabaset@us.ibm.com, hgs@cs.columbia.edu, t.schmidt@haw-hamburg.de Pages: 20 Characters: 41978 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-p2psip-sip-21.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7904 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7904 This document defines a SIP Usage for REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD). The SIP Usage provides the functionality of a SIP proxy or registrar in a fully distributed system and includes a lookup service for Address of Records (AORs) stored in the overlay. It also defines Globally Routable User Agent URIs (GRUUs) that allow the registrations to map an AOR to a specific node reachable through the overlay. After such initial contact of a Peer, the RELOAD AppAttach method is used to establish a direct connection between nodes through which SIP messages are exchanged. This document is a product of the Peer-to-Peer Session Initiation Protocol Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
