Communications Resource Priority for the Session Initiation Protocol

Overview

RFC 4412, “Communications Resource Priority for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2006 by H. Schulzrinne, J. Polk. It has since been updated by RFC 7134. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines two new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) header fields for communicating resource priority, namely, "Resource-Priority" and "Accept-Resource-Priority". The "Resource-Priority" header field can influence the behavior of SIP user agents (such as telephone gateways and IP telephones) and SIP proxies. It does not directly influence the forwarding behavior of IP routers. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
