Example Call Flows of Race Conditions in the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 5407, “Example Call Flows of Race Conditions in the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Best Current Practice document published in December 2008 by M. Hasebe, J. Koshiko, Y. Suzuki, T. Yoshikawa, P. Kyzivat. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document gives example call flows of race conditions in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Race conditions are inherently confusing and difficult to thwart; this document shows the best practices to handle them. The elements in these call flows include SIP User Agents and SIP Proxy Servers. Call flow diagrams and message details are given. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
