RFC 6878           SIP Priority Header Field Registry         March 2013
1.  Introduction
This document defines a new IANA registry to keep track of the values defined for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) "Priority" header field. This header field was defined in [RFC3261], Section 20.26. It was clearly specified in a way that allows for the creation of new values beyond those originally specified; however, no registry has been established for it.
2.  IANA Considerations
This document adds a new sub-registry, "Priority Header Field Values", to the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters" registry page. Its format and initial values are as shown in the following table:
                        +------------+-----------+
                        | Priority   | Reference |
                        +------------+-----------+
                        | non-urgent | RFC 3261  |
                        | normal     | RFC 3261  |
                        | urgent     | RFC 3261  |
                        | emergency  | RFC 3261  |
                        +------------+-----------+
The policy for registration of values in this registry is "IETF Review" as that term is defined by [RFC5226]. This policy was chosen over lighter-weight policies due the potential architectural impact of the semantics associated with new values. Efforts contemplating adding a Priority value should consider whether the SIP Resource- Priority [RFC4412] or even a different protocol would be more appropriate for achieving their requirements.
3.  Security Considerations
This document does not have any impact on the security of the SIP protocol. Its purpose is purely administrative in nature.
