[Speermint] New Draft: SIP Interconnect Guideline

Title: [Speermint] New Draft: SIP Interconnect Guideline

All,

We have submitted a new draft beginning a process for defining a SIP interconnect guideline for peering.   Of the operators I have spoken with regarding their experiences with peering, SIP interworking is the most challenging process to work through.  Establishing a guideline will be a fundamental step in enabling SSPs to peer quickly, efficiently, and dynamically.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

As Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) peering becomes more widely
accepted by service providers the need to define an interconnect
guideline becomes of greater value.  This document takes into
consideration the SIP and commonly used SIP extensions, and it
defines a fundamental set of requirements for SIP Service Providers
(SSPs) to implement within their signaling functions (SFs) or
Signaling Path Border Elements (SBEs) for peering.
