RFC is dead, long live RFC 0

Широко известный в VoIP кругах RFC2833 приказал долго жить. Заменил его RFC4733 (забавно, что разница между RFC – ровно 900). Из интересного – вместо жестко прописаных в RFC типов передаваемых событий будет реестр IANA (так же, как сейчас определены payload types для RTP). Вот кусок abstract’а:

This memo captures and expands upon the basic framework defined in RFC 2833, but retains only the most basic event codes. It sets up an IANA registry to which other event code assignments may be added. Companion documents add event codes to this registry relating to modem, fax, blob telephony, and channel-associated signalling events. The remainder of the event codes defined in RFC 2833 are conditionally reserved in case other documents revive their use.

This document provides a number of clarifications to the original document. However, it specifically differs from RFC 2833 by removing the requirement that all compliant implementations support the DTMF events. Instead, compliant implementations taking part in out-of-band negotiations of media stream content indicate what events they support. This memo adds three new procedures to the RFC 2833 framework: subdivision of long events into segments, reporting of multiple events in a single packet, and the concept and reporting of state events.
