Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for allowing media context sensitive SIP signaling exchange and call establishment while denying or challenging any other session description protocol extension dialogs which might not be desired by a user. User client media policy preferences are defined, the user media policy preferences establishing the parameters for evaluating a media session request received by a user client. The user client media policy preferences are provided to a policy enforcement point device, the policy enforcement point device evaluating the media session request received by the user client and applying the user client media policy preferences to the media session request. A user client portal is utilized to gain access to a media policy database, the media policy database providing storage for user client media policy preferences.

Abstract: This invention provides a method, system and apparatus for allowing media context sensitive SIP signaling exchange (such as voice) and call establishment while denying or challenging any other session description protocol (“SDP”) extension dialogs which might not be desired (such as instant messaging, video, Web broadcasting or pushing, data and/or application sharing and the like) by a user. The method and apparatus may further include defining user client media policy preferences, the user media policy preferences establishing the parameters for evaluating a media session request received by a user client, and providing the user client media policy preferences to a policy enforcement point device, the policy enforcement point device evaluating the media session request received by the user client and applying the user client media policy preferences to the media session request.
