RFC 3515: The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Refer Method

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7647, RFC 8217. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines the REFER method. This Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) extension requests that the recipient REFER to a resource provided in the request. It provides a mechanism allowing the party sending the REFER to be notified of the outcome of the referenced request. This can be used to enable many applications, including call transfer. In addition to the REFER method, this document defines the refer event package and the Refer-To request header. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
