I-D ACTION:draft-bryan-p2psip-requirements-00.txt

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

	Title		: P2PSIP Protocol Framework and Requirements 
	Author(s)	: D. Bryan, et al.
	Filename	: draft-bryan-p2psip-requirements-00.txt
	Pages		: 34
	Date		: 2007-7-3

   Though both SIP and various peer-to-peer (p2p) protocols have been 
   widely deployed, there is no operational experience with SIP using 
   overlay networks. Also, most p2p networks developed in the research 
   community do not deal with NAT traversal. This document attempts to 
   list the design requirements for a P2PSIP protocol taking into 
   account the experience gained from both the p2p and the SIP 
   communities. Special emphasis has been put on the SIP-DHT interface, 
   on the overlay performance, on NAT traversal and on security.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
