This specification defines the new UPDATE method for the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP).  UPDATE allows a client to update
parameters of a session (such as the set of media streams and their
codecs) but has no impact on the state of a dialog.  In that sense,
it is like a re-INVITE, but unlike re-INVITE, it can be sent before
the initial INVITE has been completed.  This makes it very useful for
updating session parameters within early dialogs.

This document is a product of the Session Initiation Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
