I believe that the consultant is referring to the RFC 3325; P-Asserted-Identity & Privacy headers. The RPID draft was depreciated many moons ago but it's still much more widely supported than any other method of transporting identity and privacy information.
We transport both RPID & PAI as we have one interconnect that only supports the PAI while 90% of the others only support RPID (with the remaining few supporting both).

I was just told by a consultant that RPID has been deprecated by the IETF. I do not have any more information on this move but if true it suggests that this is the wrong approach. Does anyone have any more information about this? Does anyone have any additional suggestions?
Thanks,Steve
