The IESG has received a request from the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control WG (mmusic) to consider the following document: - 'A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) usage for Trickle ICE' <draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip-12.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2018-01-26. 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 The Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol describes a Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal mechanism for UDP-based multimedia sessions established with the Offer/Answer model. The ICE extension for Incremental Provisioning of Candidates (Trickle ICE) defines a mechanism that allows ICE Agents to shorten session establishment delays by making the candidate gathering and connectivity checking phases of ICE non-blocking and by executing them in parallel. This document defines usage semantics for Trickle ICE with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and defines a new SIP Info Package. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mmusic-trickle-ice-sip/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
