There is a need for having a globally unique session identifier for
the same SIP session that can be consistently maintained across
SIP Proxies, Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs), and other SIP
middleboxes, for the purpose of troubleshooting.  This document
proposes a new SIP header to carry such a value: Session-ID.

The mechanism defined in this document has been widely deployed, and
is being followed in a backward-compatible fashion for a new Standards
Track document produced by the INSIPID Working Group.
