Title : A P2P Approach to SIP Registration and Resource Location

This document outlines the motivation and requirements for a Peer-to-
Peer (P2P) based approach for SIP registration and resource discovery
using distributed hash tables, and presents the architectural design
for such a system. This design removes the need for central servers
from SIP, while offering full backward compatibility with SIP,
allowing reuse of existing clients, and allowing P2P enabled nodes to
communicate with conventional SIP entities. A basic introduction to
the concepts of P2P is presented, backward compatibility issues
addressed, and the security considerations are considered.
This is very early work to explore the characteristics that a P2P
system might have. It is less secure in many ways than the
traditional approach to SIP but has certain other interesting
characteristics that may make it desirable in some situations. This
work is being discussed on the sipping@ietf.org mailing list.

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.
