A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Package for
Session-Specific Policies
Abstract
This specification defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event
package for session-specific policies. This event package enables

and to receive notifications if these policies change.

1. Introduction
The Framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] Session
Policies [RFC6794] defines a protocol framework that enables a proxy
to define and impact policies on sessions such as the codecs or media
types to be used. This framework identifies two types of session
policies: session-specific and session-independent policies.
Session-specific policies are policies that are created for one
particular session, based on the session description of this session.
They enable a network intermediary to inspect the session description
that a UA is proposing and to return a policy specifically generated
for this session description. For example, an intermediary could
open pinholes in a firewall/NAT for each media stream in a session
and return a policy that replaces the internal IP addresses and ports
in the session description with external ones. Since session-
