Author(s) : A. Roach
Filename : draft-roach-voip-ringtone-00.txt
Pages : 34
Date : 09-Nov-00
This document describes a mechanism by which an appropriate
ringback tone may be played to the calling party when the called
party's device is alerting. It is written specifcally to address
the case where the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used to
initiate voice-over-IP calls. It also lists ringback
characteristics for several countries.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
