Abstract
A method for facilitating a data session in a session protocol environment is provided that includes identifying a first endpoint and receiving a status indicator as to whether the first endpoint is available to participate in a communication session that involves the first endpoint and a second endpoint. In a more particular embodiment, the first endpoint is operable to recognize that the second endpoint is seeking to contact the first endpoint in order to conduct the communication session.
