Providing a SIP-proxy (P-CSCF) server @ via IPCP does make sense though. Might be a good idea to address the problem in a constructive manner, adding a mechanism for vendor-specific (or organization-specific) parameters that could be conveyed via IPCP. Allowing extensions without creating interoperability problems, and without the burden of having to go to IETF for defining such extensions. DHCP and many other protocols have such extensibility, why not IPCP?

It's not unusual for folks to write their own extensions to IETF-controlled protocols without bothering with the standardization process. We don't have any IETF police out there to stop them. If they care at all about interoperability, they won't do something like this. Thanks for the pointer, though; I'll forward it around to see if we can't get clarification. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ Pppext mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pppext _______________________________________________ Pppext mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pppext
