Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option for Session Initiation Protocol Servers
Overview
RFC 3361, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option for Session Initiation Protocol Servers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2002 by H. Schulzrinne. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a DHCP-for-IPv4 option that contains a list of domain names or IPv4 addresses that can be mapped to one or more SIP outbound proxy servers. This is one of the many methods that a SIP client can use to obtain the addresses of such a local SIP server.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
