>Abstract: This draft defines a modification of the use of the SIP
>protocol to
>      perform route reservation. These modifications are applied to two of
>      the existing SIP Methods: INVITE and REGISTER. The modifications
>      allow the INVITE method to be used to find the best path across a
>      particular network based on QoS metrics. The route choice is able to
>      be restricted at the network edge. The proposed modifications also
>      allow the REGISTER method to be used as a means of disseminating
>      information necessary to determine these QoS metrics. This
>      information can be used to route INVITEs away from known areas of
>      congestion.
