	Title		: Requirements for Session Policy for the Session 
			  Initiation Protocol (SIP)

The proxy server plays a central role as an intermediary in the
establishment of sessions in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
In that role, they can define and impact policies on call routing,
rendezvous, and other call features. However, there is no standard
means by which proxies can have any influence on session policies,
such as the codecs that are to be used. As such, ad-hoc and
non-conformant techniques have been deployed to allow for such policy
mechanisms. There is a need for a standards-based and complete
mechanism for session policies. This document defines a set of
requirements for such a mechanism.

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.
