This document defines a generic framework for preconditions, which are
extensible through IANA registration.  This document also discusses
how network quality of service can be made a precondition for
establishment of sessions initiated by the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP).  These preconditions require that the participant
reserve network resources before continuing with the session.  We do
not define new quality of service reservation mechanisms; these
preconditions simply require a participant to use existing resource
reservation mechanisms before beginning the session.

This document is a product of the Session Initiation Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
