	Title		: The SIP PING Method
	Author(s)	: F. Miller
	Filename	: draft-fwmiller-ping-03.txt
	Pages		: 10

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has the potential for long
periods of time to elapse when no signaling traffic is sent between a
User Agent Client (UAC) and a User Agent Server (UAS).  There are
situations when it may be necessary for some signaling traffic to
flow periodically between these endpoints or to have a quick,
lightweight check for whether a UAS is alive.  The PING method is
proposed that can be used for these purposes.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-fwmiller-ping-03.txt".
	
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.
