Title : Coping with Early Media in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) : B. Stucker
Filename : draft-stucker-sipping-early-media-coping-00.txt
Pages : 24

It is widely known that early media is an area within SIP in which
the existing mechanisms within the protocol are not fully capable of
handling to make rendering of these media flows a reliable process.
Unfortunately, the need for media to be presented to an originator
prior to the terminator answering is persistent. As such, a path
forward to fixing this limitation is needed. This document seeks to
document common ways that SIP networks handle early media, what side-
effects those mechanisms have, and what the desired behaviors are.
>From this, it goes on to try to address as many early media issues as
possible using as simple of a generic mechanism as possible.

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.
