[Sipping] P2P and SIP

Apologies if this is a duplicate post. I mistakenly sent the first one
from a non-subscribed account...

Hello Henning,

I have been working on a P2P SIP project as well. You may have seen
some the early internal William & Mary documents and talks from Nov.
2003 and onward on the web (I've been using the name SOSIMPLE). It
looks like your approach is extremely similar -- derived from a DHT
such as Chord.

Additionally, several of us (myself, Cullen Jennings, Adam Roach and a
few others) also discussed this topic quite a bit at IETF in Washington
and have had ongoing discussions about it. We are currently fleshing out
the details. I've started working on an experimental draft on the
subject, and have submitted to a few academic conferences for
publication.

I'd love for you, Kindan Singh, and anyone else who is interested to
work together on this.
