Title : A New Forking Mechanism for Gathering and Distributing Information
Author(s) : D. Worley
Filename : draft-worley-sipping-forking-00.txt
Pages : 12

The rules for SIP proxies are organized so that when a UAC sends an
out-of-dialog request, even if the request is forked to a number of
UASs, (usually) only one UAS will accept the request, and only the
final response from that UAS will be returned to the UAC. This
forking mechanism is optimal for an INVITE intended to connect one
human user with another human uses, but is poor for requests that
have a "one to many" nature, especially PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE
requests, but also including some INVITEs. This document proposes
that requests can be marked to specify that they should be forked in
a somewhat manner that better supports "one to many" requests.

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.
