I've counted even five scenarios:

1 living room; consumer electronics, low CPU power, low security demands, high churn, small size
2 meeting venue; adhoc networks, friendly users(?), small size, high churn?
3 PBX; low churn, friendly users, moderate size
4 automatic clustering of SIP proxies; low churn, friendly users (= the other proxies in the cluster), small size
5 Internet, low churn, unfriendly users; requires good security, very large number of nodes

2-4 have more in common and seem easier to standardize than 1 and 5. However, the IETF is
about the Internet with capital "I" so ruling out 5) might be used against P2PSIP in
a BoF discussion.
