This document is an Internet-Draft
The Smart Grid initiative is an effort in modernization of the electricity grid using communication technology with the primary
goals of reducing energy consumption, reducing cost (utilities and consumers), increasing reliability and the creation of new services for all participants in the value chain. The core focus of this initiative is the specification of a 'Communications Overlay' network which can help facilitate intelligent communication (discovery,session establishment, routing, addressing to name a few) between various nodes of the heterogeneous Smart Grid network.
This draft is an initial input for consideration of SIP as an appropriate application protocol for use inside devices that operate over low powered IP networks.
