System and method for sip user agent identification and efficient binding

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system and method for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user agent identification and efficient binding. In accordance with one example embodiment, there is provided a method for use on a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registration server for registering user agents, comprising: receiving a REGISTER message which includes a binding key; determining whether a prior binding associated with the binding key exists in a registration repository; and creating a new binding associated with the binding key and adding the new binding to the registration repository when no prior binding associated with the binding key exists in the registration repository.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
