Introduction + + The Session Description Protocol (SDP) specification [5] defines a + number of media types. RFC 3840 [4] registers with the IANA media + feature tags associated with all those media types except for the + 'message' media type. This document registers a new media feature + tag that is associated with the 'message' media type. + + The reason why the 'message' media feature tag was not registered by + RFC 3840 was that when RFC 3840 was published, the SDP specification + was RFC 2327 [1]. RFC 3840 defined media feature tags for all the + media types defined by RFC 2327. However, RFC 2327 did not define + the 'message' media type. This media type was defined by the revised + SDP specification [5], which was published after RFC 3840. + +2. Security Considerations + + Section 11.1 of RFC 3840 [4] discusses security considerations + related to the use of media feature tags. + +3. IANA Considerations + + This specification registers a new media feature tag in the SIP [3] + tree per the procedures defined in RFC 2506 [2] and RFC 3840 [4]. + + Media feature tag name: sip.message + + ASN.1 Identifier: 21 + + Summary of the media feature indicated by this tag: This feature + tag indicates that the device supports message as a streaming + media type. + + Values appropriate for use with this feature tag: Boolean. + + The feature tag is intended primarily for use in the following + applications, protocols, services, or negotiation mechanisms: This + feature tag is most useful in a communications application for + describing the capabilities of a device, such as a phone or PDA. + + Examples of typical use: Routing a call to a phone that can + support session-based instant messaging. + + Related standards or documents: RFC 4569. + + Security Considerations: Security considerations for this media + feature tag are discussed in Section 11.1 of RFC 3840. + + + + +Camarillo Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 4569 Message Feature Tag July 2006 + + +4.
