Abstract
This document defines a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6
(DHCPv6) option that contains a list of domain names or IPv6
addresses that can be mapped to one or more Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) outbound proxy servers. This is one of the many
methods that a SIP client can use to obtain the addresses of such a
local SIP server.
1. Terminology
This document uses the DHCP terminology defined in [1].
A SIP server is defined in RFC 3261 [2]. This server MUST be an
outbound proxy server, as defined in [3]. In the context of this
document, a SIP server refers to the host the outbound SIP proxy
server is running on.
A SIP client is defined in RFC 3261 [2]. The client can be a user
agent client or the client portion of a proxy server. In the context
of this document, a SIP client refers to the host the SIP client is
running on.
