Soroushnejad, Ed., V. Venkataramanan Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2015 Mailbox: alan.b.johnston@gmail.com, msoroush@gmail.com, vvenkatar@gmail.com Pages: 72 Characters: 171979 Updates: RFC 3261, RFC 4235 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-bliss-shared-appearances-15.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7463 This document describes the requirements and implementation of a group telephony feature commonly known as Bridged Line Appearance (BLA) or Multiple Line Appearance (MLA), or Shared Call/Line Appearance (SCA). When implemented using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), it is referred to as shared appearances of an Address of Record (AOR) since SIP does not have the concept of lines. This feature is commonly offered in IP Centrex services and IP Private Branch Exchange (IPBX) offerings and is likely to be implemented on SIP IP telephones and SIP feature servers used in a business environment. This feature allows several user agents (UAs) to share a common AOR, learn about calls placed and received by other UAs in the group, and pick up or join calls within the group. This document discusses use cases, lists requirements, and defines extensions to implement this feature. This specification updates RFCs 3261 and 4235. This document is a product of the Basic Level of Interoperability for SIP Services 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.
