Re: [Sip] Conclusion of WGLC, Call for IETF Last Call on sip-dhcpv6

One comment.

One of the things we need to be striving for is to move everything
consistently towards the usage of loose routing for sending requests
through intermediate hops. This has countless benefits, primarily
derived from the ability to associate parameters and other information
with the loose route URI. A local outbound proxy is most definitely a
hop that can be specified with a loose route. So, while bis does allow a
UAC to simply send requests to a configured IP/FQDN rather than use
loose routing, it recommends loose routing. 

So, my question is this: why don't we specify that the DHCP option
provides you a URI that is used as a loose route, and not a domain
name/IP address? Wouldn't that handle v6,v4 domain names and everything
else?

Also, I suspect that in many cases, local outbound proxies will be doing
compression. How does the client know whether it can send compressed sip
messages to its proxy? Well, we have a URI parameter for this purpose:

http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-camarillo-sip-sigcomp-00.txt

Thus, if the client learns about the local outbound proxy through a URI,
it will be able to learn whether it supports compression. If only the
address/domain name are provided, separate means are needed to learn
about support for compression.

Thanks,
Jonathan R.
