3.2.4.3 Subscribing to a User's Presence Information

The client can subscribe to a user's presence information by sending a SUBSCRIBE request with the request URI set to that user's SIP URI. In the client/server mode, this request creates a subscription on the client and the server. In the P2P mode, the subscription is created on both clients. The presence information is sent back in the 200 OK to the SUBSCRIBE if piggyback notification extension is enabled. Otherwise, it is sent in a NOTIFY or BENOTIFY request. Any further updates to presence are sent using NOTIFY or BENOTIFY requests.
