SIP: Locating SIP Servers

Status: Published as RFC 3263, June 2002
Date of last update: June, 2002
Authors: J. Rosenberg,H. Schulzrinne
Current Document: rfc3263.txt
Summary: The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) uses DNS procedures to allow a client to resolve a SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) into the IP address, port, and transport protocol of the next hop to contact. It also uses DNS to allow a server to send a response to a backup client if the primary client has failed. This document describes those DNS procedures in detail.
