The WebSocket Protocol as a Transport for the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)
draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-websocket-09
Abstract
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way realtime communication between
clients and servers in web-based applications. This document
specifies a WebSocket sub-protocol as a reliable transport mechanism
between SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) entities to enable usage of
SIP in web-oriented deployments. This document normatively updates
RFC 3261.
