         Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Recording Call Flows

Abstract

   Session recording is a critical requirement in many communications
   environments, such as call centers and financial trading
   organizations.  In some of these environments, all calls must be
   recorded for regulatory, compliance, and consumer-protection reasons.
   The recording of a session is typically performed by sending a copy
   of a media stream to a recording device.  This document lists call
   flows with metadata snapshots sent from a Session Recording Client
   (SRC) to a Session Recording Server (SRS).
