IPv6 Transition in the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 6157, “IPv6 Transition in the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2011 by G. Camarillo, K. El Malki, V. Gurbani. It updates RFC 3264. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how the IPv4 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user agents can communicate with IPv6 SIP user agents (and vice versa) at the signaling layer as well as exchange media once the session has been successfully set up. Both single- and dual-stack (i.e., IPv4-only and IPv4/IPv6) user agents are considered. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
