RE: [Sip] Binary Encoding for SIP

[Raphael Tryster <[e-mail]>]

Hello Cullen,

Given that this is my first venture into the SIP email forum, and the first
response to your posting, it is only fitting that I should vote for option
c:).

During the coming year or two, I hope to develop an opinion on whether the
issues of backward compatibility and ease of debugging, which seem to make
the binary option rather unpopular in Megaco, apply to SIP as well.  If they
do, it could have an adverse affect on World Hunger, as those with the right
tools to debug binary messages will eat more, at the expense of the rest.

	I submitted a draft on binary encoding for SIP. This improves
	interoperability, improves speed, decreases sizes of messages, and
generally
	makes life better for SIP which will no doubt eventually help with
World
	Hunger. I need feedback, please let me know:

	a) Yah, lets do it

	b) No this is a stupid ideas and here are the reasons why

	c) There has not been many list comments, this draft involves some
very
	complex issues. I need a year or two to develop an opinion on the
single
	sentence inside it.

	d) I agree with Cowboy Willis

	Until it arrives in the archives, you can find it at

	
http://www.employees.org/~fluffy/ietf/draft-jennings-sip-mime-01.html

	or, if you prefer ASCII encodings of everything,

	Thanks, Cullen
