Session Peering Provisioning Framework Analysis

Most computer-based systems require the ability to store information continuously in order to meet life cycle requirements of the data. The simplest way to meet these requirements typically involves using a centralized data store (relational or otherwise). In this paper, we analyze these requirements as they present themselves in the Voice over IP (VoIP) field, discuss the approach proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to address the requirements, and, finally, suggest some improvements to this proposal to be incorporated in a future revision of the standard.
