A Framework for Session Initiation Protocol Session Policies
RFC 6794, “A Framework for Session Initiation Protocol Session Policies”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2012 by V. Hilt, G. Camarillo, J. Rosenberg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Proxy servers play a central role as an intermediary in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as they define and impact policies on call routing, rendezvous, and other call features. This document specifies a framework for SIP session policies that provides a standard mechanism by which a proxy can define or influence policies on sessions, such as the codecs or media types to be used. It defines a model, an overall architecture and new protocol mechanisms for session policies. [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.
