The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)
draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket-00
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way realtime communication between
clients and servers. This document specifies a new WebSocket sub-
protocol as a reliable transport mechanism between SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol) entities and enables usage of the SIP protocol
in new scenarios.
