[SIPForum-discussion] SIP-B documentation

[Jay Batson]

You're certainly not off-topic.  In fact, it's kind of on-topic.

Sylantro's SIP-B specification was very similar in many ways to the  
IETF sipping-service-examples draft (see http://tools.ietf.org/wg/ 
sipping/draft-ietf-sipping-service-examples/ ), but attempted to  
embrace a slightly larger feature set -- 18 items compared to service- 
examples (then) 12.

Part of the motivation for SIP-B was that sipping-service-examples,  
while the draft was renewed every 6 months or so, didn't seem to be  
changing much, and implementations were few and far between.  It  
didn't seem like the draft was on track for action in the IETF.

Recently, that situation has changed, and service-examples is much  
more on-the-rails, and has (slightly) expanded it feature set to get  
more near the same number of items as SIP-B proposed.  So with  
regards to pure call-flows, I'd suggest you look at that.  As a  
result, I think it's safe to ignore SIP-B in favor of sipping-service- 
examples.

However, the Forum Board still is looking to get the SIP Forum  
Technical Working Group's SIP Phone Task Group to create a  
recommendation (real soon now) dealing with larger issues than simply  
call-flows, e.g. profiles for various levels of handsets, non-IETF- 
related things that should be considered, etc.

We hope to kick off that effort with some new activity in the next  
month or so.  Feel free to get involved - subscribe to the techwg  
mailing list to participate (see http://sipforum.org/mailman/listinfo/ 
techwg ).
