A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SIP, P2P, and Internet Communications
Author(s) : A. Johnston
Filename : draft-johnston-sipping-p2p-ipcom-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2005-1-31
This somewhat terse draft discusses issues related to the application
of peer to peer (P2P) technologies to SIP in particular, and Internet
communications in general. While early work involving P2P and SIP
proposes running P2P protocols over SIP messaging, this draft
proposes the opposite layering - replacing SIP discovery and
rendezvous functionality with a general P2P protocol. This layering
of SIP on top of P2P has many advantages. A number of DHT
(Distributed Hash Table) P2P protocols that solve some similar
functions are given as examples. Finally, an approach to the
discovery of NAT traversal relays using a logically separate P2P
network is proposed.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-johnston-sipping-p2p-ipcom-00.txt".
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.
