MMUSIC and because MMUSIC is developing a successor to SDP which SIP
will also use.
The group will work very closely with the (proposed) SIPPING WG, which
is expected to analyze the requirements for application of SIP to
several different tasks, and with the SIMPLE WG, which is using SIP for
messaging and presence.
The group will also maintain open dialogues with the IP telephony
(IPTEL) WG, whose Call Processing Language (CPL) relates to many
features of SIP; will continue to consider the requirements and
specifications previously established by the PSTN and Internet
Internetworking (PINT) working group;: and will consider input from the
Distributed Call Signaling (DCS) Group of the PacketCable Consortium
for distributed telephony services, and from 3GPP, 3GPP2, and MWIF for
third-generation wireless network requirements.
The specific deliverables of the group are:
1. bis: A draft standard version of SIP.
2. callcontrol: Completion of the SIP call control specifications,
which enables multiparty services, such as transfer and bridged
sessions.
3. callerpref: Completion of the SIP caller preferences extensions,
which enables intelligent call routing services.
4. mib: Define a MIB for SIP nodes.
5. precon: Completion of the SIP
extensions needed to assure satisfaction of external preconditions
such as QoS establishment.
6. state: Completion of the SIP extensions needed to manage state
within signaling, aka SIP "cookies".
7. priv: Completion of SIP extensions for security and privacy.
8. security: Assuring generally adequate security and privacy
mechanisms within SIP.
9. provrel: Completion of the SIP extensions needed for reliability of
provisional messages.
10. servfeat: Completion of the SIP extensions needed for negotiation
ofserver features.
