This document will emphasize an existing SIP RFC [3] as the starting
point for network preemption events. RFC 3312 set rules surrounding
SIP interaction using a reservation protocol for QoS preconditions,
using RSVP as the example protocol. That effort did not preclude
other preconditions or future protocol work from becoming a means of
preconditions. NSIS is a new reservation protocol effort that
specifies a preemption operation similar to RSVP's ResvErr message
involving the NSIS NOTIFY message in [8] with a Transient error code
0x04000005 (Resources Pre-empted).
To be clear, it should be noted that SIP itself does not cause RSVP
or NSIS reservation signaling to start or end. That operation is
part of a separate API within each UA.

Network Preemption Events (NPE) are those instances in which a Network Preemption Events (NPE) are those instances in which a
intermediate router between SIP elements preempts one or more intermediate router between SIP user agents preempts one or more
sessions at one of its interfaces to place a higher priority sessions at one of its interfaces to place a higher priority
session through that interface. Within RSVP, there exists a means to session through that interface. Within RSVP, there exists a means to

The following 2 diagrams (Figures 2 and 3) illustrate the network Two diagrams (Figures 2 and 3) illustrate a network preemption
