The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 7118, “The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2014 by I. Baz Castillo, J. Millan Villegas, V. Pascual. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way real-time communication between clients and servers in web-based applications. This document specifies a WebSocket subprotocol as a reliable transport mechanism between Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) entities to enable use of SIP in web-oriented deployments.
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.
