Format for the Session Initiation Protocol Common Log Format
RFC 6873, “Format for the Session Initiation Protocol Common Log Format”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2013 by G. Salgueiro, V. Gurbani, A. B. Roach. It has since been updated by RFC 7355. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The SIPCLF working group has defined a Common Log Format (CLF) framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers. This CLF mimics the successful event logging format found in well-known web servers like Apache and web proxies like Squid. This document proposes an indexed text encoding format for the SIP CLF that retains the key advantages of a text-based format while significantly increasing processing performance over a purely text-based implementation. This file format adheres to the SIP CLF information model and provides an effective encoding scheme for all mandatory and optional fields that appear in a SIP CLF record.
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.
