@misc{rfc7989, series = {Request for Comments}, number = 7989, howpublished = {RFC 7989}, publisher = {RFC Editor}, doi = {10.17487/RFC7989}, url = {https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7989}, author = {Paul Jones and Gonzalo Salgueiro and Chris Pearce and Paul Giralt}, title = {{End-to-End Session Identification in IP-Based Multimedia Communication Networks}}, pagetotal = 45, year = 2016, month = oct, abstract = {This document describes an end-to-end session identifier for use in IP-based multimedia communication systems that enables endpoints, intermediary devices, and management systems to identify a session end-to-end, associate multiple endpoints with a given multipoint conference, track communication sessions when they are redirected, and associate one or more media flows with a given communication session. While the identifier is intended to work across multiple protocols, this document describes its usage in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This document also describes a backwards-compatibility mechanism for an existing session identifier implementation (RFC 7329) that is sufficiently different from the procedures defined in this document. This document obsoletes RFC 7329.}, }
