That's because we didn't have all MacBooks, iPhones, and Google Androids back then. Instead, we had to encode our REGISTER messages on tiny slips of paper attached to the legs of carrier pigeons. Seriously, IIRC back in 1998 UUNET honcho John Sidgemore made a speech where he claimed it would not be long before the average person in the developed world would have or more five internet-connected devices. We all laughed at the silly man. Now I have dozens of Internet-connected devices, including cell phones, music players, laptops, desktops, microservers, WiFi routers, printers, voice mail, SIP phones, and so on. He was right, and we should have thought about the implications to SIP a little more carefully. -- Dean _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new developments on the application of sip
