This is the real name used to describe the source, e.g., "John Doe, Bit Recycler, Megacorp". It may be in any form desired by the user. For applications such as conferencing, this form of name may be the most desirable for display in participant lists, and therefore might be sent most frequently of those items other than CNAME. Profiles may establish such priorities. The NAME value is expected to remain constant at least for the duration of a session. It should not be relied upon to be unique among all participants in the session.
