IETF goes deeper into VoIP peering

For service providers and large enterprises that are still puzzling out VoIP peering, we've found what looks like a good ongoing primer. This particular issue talks about the IETF--the Internet Engineering Task Force--which sets out the technical underpinnings of the Net. In March, the IETF established a new area of development called "Real-Time Applications and Infrastructure," where all VoIP development will fall. There are several working groups, which will eventually generate more-or-less-binding tech documents: on ENUM, on SIP and on Session PEERing for Multimedia INTerconnec--SPEERMINT. The primer has a series of good and relevant links that will probably help you understand what's admittedly a pretty tough technical matter.
