Title: Advertising Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) Services with Presence

Many presence applications use availability information about a presentity
to show a watcher their readiness to communicate. In the case of real-time
multimedia communications, the readiness of the presentity to communicate
does not entail that the network topography will permit communication to
occur. Accordingly, this document specifies a means to integrate
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) with presence. Presentities
employing the Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) can use the
extensions in this draft to advertise their ability to undergo a
preliminary ICE check, and thus allow watchers to instigate ICE tests to
ascertain whether or not the intervening network is friendly to real-time
multimedia communication. In a presence application, the results of this
test could be displayed to watchers as the relative "connectivity status"
of the presentity.
