Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Session Mobility
Abstract
Session mobility is the transfer of media of an ongoing communication
session from one device to another. This document describes the
basic approaches and shows the signaling and media flow examples for
providing this service using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Service discovery is essential to locate targets for session transfer
and is discussed using the Service Location Protocol (SLP) as an
example. This document is an informational document.
