The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol Core WG (sipcore) to consider the following document: - 'The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)' <draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket-08.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-04-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The WebSocket protocol enables two-way realtime communication between clients and servers in web-based applications. This document specifies a WebSocket sub-protocol as a reliable transport mechanism between SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) entities to enable usage of SIP in web-oriented deployments. This document normatively updates RFC 3261. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
