Abstract
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a text-based protocol for
initiating and managing communication sessions. The protocol can be
compressed by using Signaling Compression (SigComp). Similarly, the
Session Description Protocol (SDP) is a text-based protocol intended
for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session
announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia
session initiation. This memo defines the SIP/SDP-specific static
dictionary that SigComp may use in order to achieve higher
efficiency. The dictionary is compression algorithm independent.
