A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5688 Title: A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Media Feature Tag for MIME Application Subtypes Author: J. Rosenberg Status: Standards Track Date: January 2010 Mailbox: jdrosen@jdrosen.net Pages: 7 Characters: 15259 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-rosenberg-sip-app-media-tag-04.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5688.txt The caller preferences specification for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) allows a caller to express preferences that the call be routed to a User Agent (UA) with particular capabilities. Similarly, a specification exists to allow a UA to indicate its capabilities in a registration. Amongst those capabilities are the type of media streams the agent supports, described as top-level MIME types. The 'application' MIME type is used to describe a broad range of stream types, and it provides insufficient granularity as a capability. This specification allows a UA to indicate which application subtypes the agent supports. [STANDARDS TRACK] This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
