Interface PriorityHeader

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, Header, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

Priority

public interface PriorityHeader
extends Header

The Priority header field indicates the urgency of the request as perceived by the client. The Priority header field describes the priority that the SIP request should have to the receiving human or its agent. For example, it may be factored into decisions about call routing and acceptance. For these decisions, a message containing no Priority header field SHOULD be treated as if it specified a Priority of "Normal".

The Priority header field does not influence the use of communications resources such as packet forwarding priority in routers or access to circuits in PSTN gateways.

The currently defined priority values are:

• EMERGENCY
• URGENT
• NORMAL
• NON_URGENT

For Example:
Subject: Weekend plans
Priority: non-urgent
