While travelling on business recently, I was seated in the “Club America” lounge in Miami International Airport. Since I was interested in connecting to the net in order to send some e-mail and update my RSS reader prior to a long flight, I popped up my AirPort™ menu (That’s Apple’sAirPort, not the FAA’s. ) And noticed that the local wireless had been, well, h4×0r3d.
I’m not completely up to speed on what it means to be:
b4rc0d3 pawnd j00!
… but I’m sure I can ask any Script-Kiddie for help interpreting.

Abstract
This document gives an overview to Session Border Controllers (SBCs)
and to the functions they perform. The way how SBCs relate to the
telecommunication architectures is also presented. The purpose of
this document is to help the IETF community understand what
functionality existing SBCs provide so that the appropriate working
groups can decide whether or not new standard solutions need to be
developed to provide such functionality (or a subset of it) in a
standard way. Working groups may also develop recommendations on how
to use existing standard mechanisms to provide such functionality.
This work is being discussed on the sipping@ietf.org mailing list.
SIPit 16: “The SIP Interoperability Test Event”

Jasomi Networks is hosting the next SIP interoperability event in Banff. Registration opened today. If you have a SIP implementation, come on over and test it!
The SIPit events are really an excellent chance to meet and test with other experience SIP implementers. Any company with SIP products should strongly consider attending the SIPit events to ensure that their products work across the broadest range of scenarios possible.
Register via the host’s event site.
(And Banff’s a fairly nice place to be locked in a room with a bunch of geeks.)
