SIP supports communications for several services, including real-time
audio, video, text, instant messaging, and presence.  In its current
form, it allows session invitations, instant messages, and other
requests to be delivered from one party to another without requiring
explicit consent of the recipient.  Without such consent, it is
possible for SIP to be used for malicious purposes, including
amplification and DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.  This document
identifies a framework for consent-based communications in SIP.
