A Framework for Conferencing with the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 4353, “A Framework for Conferencing with the Session Initiation Protocol”, is an Informational document published in February 2006 by J. Rosenberg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) supports the initiation, modification, and termination of media sessions between user agents. These sessions are managed by SIP dialogs, which represent a SIP relationship between a pair of user agents. Because dialogs are between pairs of user agents, SIP's usage for two-party communications (such as a phone call), is obvious. Communications sessions with multiple participants, generally known as conferencing, are more complicated. This document defines a framework for how such conferencing can occur. This framework describes the overall architecture, terminology, and protocol components needed for multi-party conferencing. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
