SIP Core RFCs

Core SIP (3261 and updates)

  • RFC 3261 - SIP: Session Initiation Protocol
  • RFC 3262 - Reliability of Provisional Responses in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
  • RFC 3263 - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Locating SIP Servers
  • RFC 3264 - An Offer/Answer Model with the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
  • RFC 6665 - SIP-Specific Event Notification (obsoletes RFC 3265)

SDP and SIP behavior

Often needed when working with SIP messaging and media:

  • RFC 4566 - SDP: Session Description Protocol (syntax of SDP bodies in SIP)
  • RFC 3581 - Symmetric Response Routing (rport) (Via rport; important for NAT)
  • RFC 6026 - Correct Transaction Handling for 2xx Responses to SIP INVITE

Auth (used in typical SIP registration)

Not SIP specific, but used in the typical auth exchange:

  • RFC 2617 - HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication
  • RFC 2069 - An Extension to HTTP : Digest Access Authentication (Replaced by 2617 above)
