Abstract

This memo documents a process intended to organize the futuredevelopment of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and related workin the Real-time Applications and Infrastructure (RAI) Area. As theenvironments in which SIP is deployed grow more numerous and diverse,modifying or extending SIP in certain ways may threaten theinteroperability and security of the protocol; however, the IETFprocess must also cater to the realities of existing deployments andserve the needs of the implementers working with SIP. This documenttherefore defines the functions of two long-lived working groups inthe RAI Area that are, respectively, responsible for the maintenanceof the core SIP specifications and the development of new efforts toextend and apply work in this space. This document obsoletes RFC3427. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
