[VOIPSEC] Open SBC?

[Chris Boulton]

Spencer raises a valuable point.  It is often a misconception in our
industry that just because there is an internet draft/RFC - that makes a
standard.  This is far from true in many many cases.  This is JUST a
document that provides details of SBC functions.

Chris.

This isn't quite right...

SIPPING has been working on DOCUMENTING SBC functions in an
Informational 
RFC. Details at 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=
15491. 
Mary Barnes is the document shepherd, and she can correct me if I'm
wrong 
(see the shepherd writeup in the data tracker for details).

I am not aware of plans for further work STANDARDIZING SBC functions in 
SIPPING. Again, Mary is the working group co-chair, and she can correct
me 
if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Spencer
