A Session Identifier for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Abstract
There is a need for having a globally unique session identifier for
the same SIP session that can be consistently maintained across SIP
Proxies, Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs), and other SIP
middleboxes, for the purpose of troubleshooting. This document
proposes a new SIP header to carry such a value: Session-ID.
The mechanism defined in this document has been widely deployed, and
is being followed in a backward-compatible fashion for a new
Standards Track document produced by the INSIPID Working Group.
