A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6665 Title: SIP-Specific Event Notification Author: A.B. Roach Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2012 Mailbox: adam@nostrum.com Pages: 53 Characters: 125556 Obsoletes: RFC3265 Updates: RFC3261, RFC4660 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sipcore-rfc3265bis-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6665.txt This document describes an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) defined by RFC 3261. The purpose of this extension is to provide an extensible framework by which SIP nodes can request notification from remote nodes indicating that certain events have occurred. Note that the event notification mechanisms defined herein are NOT intended to be a general-purpose infrastructure for all classes of event subscription and notification. This document represents a backwards-compatible improvement on the original mechanism described by RFC 3265, taking into account several years of implementation experience. Accordingly, this document obsoletes RFC 3265. This document also updates RFC 4660 slightly to accommodate some small changes to the mechanism that were discussed in that document. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Session Initiation Protocol Core Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
