Abstract

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Resource Priority Header (RPH), in its current form, is ignored in SIP responses. This was a design choice during RFC 4412's development. This is now considered a bad design choice in certain scenarios. The Internet Draft "Allowing SIP Resource Priority Header in SIP Responses" (draft-polk-sip-rph-in-responses-00) describes a modification to RFC4412 to permit RPH in responses. This document describes one of the requirements associated with systems using RPH, that could be satisfied by the modification of RFC 4412 to permit RPH on responses, and is not easily met by other methods. This ID provides additional motivation for SIP RPH in Responses. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
