As an implementor of an application on a host acting as a, say, a SIP phone I do not not understand how these mechanisms are going to help me at all. First, how do I know if the underlying OS version supports NSIS, for instance? And even if I do know that, that says *nothing* about the support in the one place that truly needs it, namely in the routers in between. So all this appears to do is negotiation of mechanisms between two parties who have no clue about what mechanisms are available. Are there significant enough RSVP, NSIS, etc. deployments where specialized applications can actually make use of this?
