A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 4353 Title: A Framework for Conferencing with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Author: J. Rosenberg Status: Informational Date: February 2006 Mailbox: jdrosen@cisco.com Pages: 29 Characters: 67405 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sipping-conferencing-framework-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4353.txt The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) supports the initiation, modification, and termination of media sessions between user agents. These sessions are managed by SIP dialogs, which represent a SIP relationship between a pair of user agents. Because dialogs are between pairs of user agents, SIP\'s usage for two-party communications (such as a phone call), is obvious. Communications sessions with multiple participants, generally known as conferencing, are more complicated. This document defines a framework for how such conferencing can occur. This framework describes the overall architecture, terminology, and protocol components needed for multi-party conferencing. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
