Hi, guys!
I have a question about the To header field of a SIP request, maybe there is some misunderstanding, I hope some of you will kindly make clear for me. Thanks in advance! When describing how to populate the To field of a SIP request, RFC 3261 states in section 8.1.1.2 that: "...Frequently, *the user will not enter a complete URI*, but rather a string of digits or letters (for example, "bob"). It is at the discretion of the UA to choose how to interpret this input...." This implies that the user will not enter the domain to the right-hand-side of the at-sign in the SIP URI (Am I right?). But RFC3261 continues to state that: "Using the string to form the user part of a SIP URI implies that the UA wishes the name to be resolved in the domain to the right-hand side (RHS) of the at-sign in the SIP URI (for instance, sip:[email protected])." My question is: since *the user does NOT enter the complete URI*, how does the UA know what the domain to the RHS of the at-sign in the SIP URI is? How does the UA know in what domain is the name to be resolved?
