[Hipsec] Identifying SIP user agents

[[e-mail] (Gonzalo Camarillo)]

Folks,

one of the goals of the HIP WG is to help other communities understand 
the implications of introducing this technology in the net. Here we have 
a situation where the multimedia community could benefict from the HIP 
work, or at least, from some of our ideas.

The SIPPING WG is working on defining global identifiers for SIP 
(Session Initiation Protocol) user agents. That is, my SIP phone will 
have a global identifier, so that I can distinguish it from my other SIP 
devides (like my software based SIP user agent running in my laptop). 
the relevant drafts are:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-jennings-sipping-instance-id-00.txt

The multimedia community was wondering whether they could use HIs or 
HITs for this purpose. They will welcome your comments.

Thanks,

Gonzalo
