Title: The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Spam
State: Active
Authors: Jonathan Rosenberg, Cullen Jennings
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-10-28
Spam, defined as the transmission of bulk unsolicited messages, has plagued
Internet email. Unfortunately, spam is not limited to email. It can affect
any system that enables user to user communications. The Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) defines a system for user to user multimedia communications.
Therefore, it is susceptible to spam, just as email is. In this document,
we analyze the problem of spam in SIP. We first identify the ways in which
the problem is the same and the ways in which it is different from email.
We then examine the various possible solutions that have been discussed for
email and consider their applicability to SIP. Discussions on this draft
should be directed at sipping@ietf.org.
