Compressing the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Overview A SIP client sending a request to a SIP server typically performs a DNS lookup for the domain name of the server. When NAPTR or SRV records are available for the server, the client can specify the type of service it wants. The service in this context is the transport protocol to be used by SIP (e.g., UDP, TCP or SCTP). A SIP server that supports, for instance, three different transport protocols, will have three different DNS entries. This paper describes a mechanism to signal that compression is desired for one or more Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages. It also states when it is appropriate to send compressed SIP messages to a SIP entity.
