RFC 3362 MIME Sub-type image/t38 August 2002 ITU-T Recommendation T.38 [T.38] Annex D describes system level requirements and procedures for internet aware facsimile implementations and internet aware facsimile gateways conforming to ITU-T T.38 to establish calls with other ITU-T T.38 implementations using the procedures defined in IETF RFC 2543 [SIP-99] and IETF RFC 2327 [SDP]. Note that ITU-T T.38 Recommendation T.38 (04/02) [T.38] is an aggregation of the original ITU-T Recommendation T.38 (06/98) [T.38- 98] and all of the subsequent Amendments and Corrigendum including [T.38D-00]. While [T.38] and [T.38D-00] describe SIP procedures per [SIP-99], the procedures can also be applied to the revised Session Initiation Protocol specification [SIP]. 3.1 image/t38 Usage Annex D of [T.38] describes that the image/t38 media type is intended to indicate a T.38 media stream in SDP. This media type registration is not intended for email usage. 4. IANA Registration To: Subject: Registration of Standard MIME media type image/t38 MIME media type name: image MIME subtype name: t38 Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: Binary Security considerations: This content denotes a facsimile bit stream that may or may not be encrypted. Interoperability considerations : This MIME media subtype is intended to be used as a parameter by SDP in SIP call setup for T.38 as described in ITU-T Rec. T.38 Annex D. Any use of this media type by email applications is not defined and as a result is not guaranteed to interoperate with a T.38 stream. Parsons Standards Track
