This document is the product of the Session Initiation Proposal Investigation Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner. Technical Summary The popularity of gateways that interwork between the PSTN and SIP networks has motivated the publication of a set of common practices that can assure consistent behavior across implementations. This document taxonomizes the uses of PSTN-SIP gateways, provides uses cases, and identifies mechanisms necessary for interworking. The mechanisms detail how SIP provides for both 'encapsulation' (bridging of PSTN signaling across a SIP network) and translation (gatewaying). Working Group Summary There was strong support in the working group for advancing this document. Protocol Quality The document was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin. Note to RFC-Editor: Please use the Technical Summary above as a replacement for the Abstract in the document.
