Abstract
This document describes an extension to the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP). The purpose of this extension is to provide an
extensible framework by which SIP nodes can request notification from
remote nodes indicating that certain events have occurred.
Concrete uses of the mechanism described in this document may be
standardized in the future.
Note that the event notification mechanisms defined herein are NOT
intended to be a general-purpose infrastructure for all classes of
event subscription and notification.
