SIP over connection-oriented transport protocol based systems are
likely to face certain distinct performance and behavioral issues
that are not manifest when SIP is transported over connectionless
protocols. Allowing SIP entities to mutually conserve connections
over a predictable, extended period of time is one of the leading
requirements to help SIP entities deliver their optimal
performance in the network. Overall, this document contemplates
transport layer connection management issues relating to SIP.
Requirements and potential solutions for introducing a backward
compatible notion of persistent connections in SIP are presented.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
