A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Session Initiation Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Managing Client Initiated Connections in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) : C. Jennings, R. Mahy
Filename : draft-ietf-sip-outbound-03.txt
Pages : 31
Date : 2006-3-22
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) allows proxy servers to initiate
TCP connections and send asynchronous UDP datagrams to User Agents in
order to deliver requests. However, many practical considerations,
such as the existence of firewalls and Network Address Translators
(NATs), prevent servers from connecting to User Agents in this way.
Even when a proxy server can open a TCP connection to a User Agent,
most User Agents lack a certificate suitable to act as a TLS
(Transport Layer Security) server. This specification defines
behaviors for User Agents, registrars and proxy servers that allow
requests to be delivered on existing connections established by the
User Agent. It also defines keep alive behaviors needed to keep NAT
bindings open and specifies the usage of multiple connections.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sip-outbound-03.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.
