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-01.txt
Pages : 14

This draft discusses issues related to the application of peer to
peer (P2P) technologies to SIP in particular, and Internet
communications in general. After an analysis of the P2P and non-P2P
capabilities of SIP, this draft proposes that a P2P protocol be
standardized in the IETF as a protocol used between a
Registrar/Proxy/Redirect server and a Location Service. This allows
the operator of a Registrar to decide how much registration state is
be stored locally and how much can be distributed using the P2P
network to a distributed Location Server. A number of DHT
(Distributed Hash Table) P2P protocols that solve some similar
functions are given as examples and could be used as input to this
work. Finally, existing SIP and P2P work is surveyed with respect to
this proposal.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-johnston-sipping-p2p-ipcom-01.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.
