Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 6442, “Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2011 by J. Polk, B. Rosen, J. Peterson. It has since been updated by RFC 8262, RFC 8787. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to convey geographic location information from one SIP entity to another SIP entity. The SIP extension covers end-to-end conveyance as well as location-based routing, where SIP intermediaries make routing decisions based upon the location of the Location Target. [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.
