IETF RFC 4488
Suppression of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) REFER Method Implicit Subscription
| Organization: | IETF |

| Page Count: | 8 |
scope:
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) REFER extension as defined in RFC 3515 automatically establishes a typically short-lived event subscription used to notify the party sending a REFER request about the receiver's status in executing the transaction requested by the REFER. These notifications are not needed in all cases. This specification provides a way to prevent the automatic establishment of an event subscription and subsequent notifications using a new SIP extension header field that may be included in a REFER request.
