The IESG has received a request from the Data for Reachability of Inter/tra-NetworK SIP WG (drinks) to consider the following document: - 'Session Peering Provisioning (SPP) Protocol over SOAP' <draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap-07.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 2015-01-22. 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 Session Peering Provisioning Framework (SPPF) specifies the data model and the overall structure to provision session establishment data into Session Data Registries and SIP Service Provider data stores. To utilize this framework one needs a transport protocol. Given that Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is currently widely used for messaging between elements of such provisioning systems, this document specifies the usage of SOAP (via HTTPS) as the transport protocol for SPPF. The benefits include leveraging prevalent expertise, and a higher probability that existing provisioning systems will be able to easily migrate to using an SPPF based protocol. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-drinks-spp-protocol-over-soap/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
