The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Identification of Communications Services in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ' <draft-ietf-sipping-service-identification-04.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Session Initiation Proposal Investigation Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Cullen Jennings. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sipping-service-identification-04.txt Technical Summary This document considers the problem of service identification in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Service identification is the process of determining the user-level use case that is driving the signaling being utilized by the user agent. This document discusses the uses of service identification, and outlines several architectural principles behind the process. It identifies perils when service identification is not done properly - including fraud, interoperability failures and stifling of innovation. Working Group Summary The creation of this document was triggered by discussions with 3GPP in the area of service identification. After those discussions, most active participants supported the approach documented in this draft. Document Quality This document does not define a protocol. There are existing architectures using the approach discussed in this document. Personnel Gonzalo Camarillo is the document shepherd.
