Roach Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: February 2013 Mailbox: gsalguei@cisco.com, vkg@bell-labs.com, adam@nostrum.com Pages: 28 Characters: 63449 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sipclf-format-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6873.txt The SIPCLF working group has defined a Common Log Format (CLF) framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers. This CLF mimics the successful event logging format found in well-known web servers like Apache and web proxies like Squid. This document proposes an indexed text encoding format for the SIP CLF that retains the key advantages of a text-based format while significantly increasing processing performance over a purely text-based implementation. This file format adheres to the SIP CLF information model and provides an effective encoding scheme for all mandatory and optional fields that appear in a SIP CLF record. This document is a product of the SIP Common Log Format Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. 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.
