Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol
Abstract
This document defines an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) to convey geographic location information from one SIP entity
to another SIP entity. The SIP extension covers end-to-end
conveyance as well as location-based routing, where SIP
intermediaries make routing decisions based upon the location of the
Location Target.
