Network Working Group A. Johnston Internet-Draft Avaya Intended status: Standards Track J. Rafferty Expires: May 3, 2012 Dialogic October 31, 2011 A Mechanism for Transporting User to User Call Control Information in SIP draft-ietf-cuss-sip-uui-04 Abstract There is a class of applications which benefit from using SIP to exchange User to User Information (UUI) data during session establishment. This information, known as call control UUI data, is a small piece of data inserted by an application initiating the session, and utilized by an application accepting the session. The rules which apply for a certain application are defined by a UUI package. This UUI data is opaque to SIP and its function is unrelated to any basic SIP function. This document defines a new SIP header field, User-to-User, to transport UUI data, along with an extension mechanism.

Overview This document describes the transport of User to User Information (UUI) data using SIP [RFC3261]. A mechanism is defined for the transport of general application UUI data and for the transport of call control related ITU-T Q.931 User to User Information Element (UU IE) [Q931] and ITU-T Q.763 User to User Information Parameter [Q763] data in SIP. UUI data is widely used in the PSTN today for contact centers and call centers. There is also a trend for the related applications to transition from ISDN to SIP. The UUI extension for SIP may also be used for native SIP endpoints implementing similar services and to interwork with ISDN services. Note that in most cases, there is an a priori understanding between the endpoints in regard to what to do with received UUI data. This mechanism was designed to meet the use cases, requirements, and call flows for SIP call control UUI detailed in [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs]. All references to requirement numbers (REQ-N) and figure numbers refer to this document. The mechanism chosen is a new SIP header field, along with a new SIP option tag. The header field carries the UUI data, along with parameters indicating the encoding of the UUI data, the UUI package, and optionally the content of the UUI data. The package definition contains details about how a particular application can utilize the UUI mechanism. The header field can be escaped into URIs supporting referral and redirection scenarios. In these scenarios, History-Info is used to indicate the inserter of the UUI data. The SIP option tag can be used to indicate support for the header field. Support for the UUI header field indicates that a UA is able to extract the information in the UUI data and pass it up the protocol stack. Individual packages using the UUI mechanism can utlize SIP media feature tags to indicate that a UA supports a particular UUI package. Guidelines for defining UUI packages are provided. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 3. Requirements Discussion This section describes how the User-to-User header field meets the requirements in [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs]. The header field can Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 be included in INVITE requests and responses and BYE requests and responses, meeting REQ-1 and REQ-2. For redirection and referral use cases and REQ-3, the header field shall be escaped into the Contact or Refer-To URI. Currently, UAs that support attended transfer support the ability to escape a Replaces header field into a Refer-To URI, and when acting upon this URI add the Replaces header field to the triggered INVITE. This logic and behavior is identical for the UUI header field. The UA processing the REFER or the 3xx to the INVITE will need to support the UUI mechanism, as UAs in general do not process unknown escaped header fields. Since SIP proxy forwarding and retargeting does not affect header fields, the header field meets REQ-4. The UUI header field will carry the UUI data and not a pointer to the data, so REQ-5 is met. Since the basic design of the UUI header field is similar to the ISDN UUI service, interworking with PSTN protocols will be straightforward and will be documented in a separate specification, meeting REQ-6. Requirements REQ-7, REQ-8, and REQ-10 relate to discovery of the mechanism and supported packages, and hence applications. REQ-7 relates to support of the UUI header field, while REQ-8 relates to routing based on support of the UUI header field. REQ-7 is met by defining a new SIP option tag 'uui'. The use of a Require:uui in a request, or Supported:uui in an OPTIONS response could be used to require or discover support of the mechanism. The presence of a Supported:uui or Require:uui header field can be used by proxies to route to an appropriate UA, meeting REQ-8. However, note that the only endpoints are expected to understand the UUI data - proxies and other intermediaries do not. REQ-10 is met by utlizing SIP feature tags [RFC3840]. For example, the feature tag 'sip.uui-isdn' could be used to indicate support of the ISDN UUI package, or 'sip.uui-pk1' could be used to indicate support for a particular package, pk1. Proxies commonly apply policy to the presence of certain SIP header fields in requests by either passing them or removing them from requests. REQ-9 is met by allowing proxies and other intermediaries to remove UUI header fields in a request or response based on policy. Carrying UUI data elements of at least 129 octets is trivial in the UUI header field, meeting REQ-11. Note that very large UUI data elements should be avoided, as SIP header fields have traditionally not been large. Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 To meet REQ-12 for the redirection and referral use cases, History- Info [I-D.ietf-sipcore-rfc4244bis] can be used. In these retargeting cases, the changed Request-URI will be recorded in the History-Info header field along with the identity of the element that performed the retargeting. The requirement for integrity protection in REQ-13 could be met by the use of an S/MIME signature over a subset of header fields, as defined in Section 23.4 of RFC 3261 "SIP Header Privacy and Integrity using S/MIME: Tunneling SIP". The requirement of REQ-14 for end-to- end privacy could be met using S/MIME or using encryption at the application layer. Note that the use of S/MIME to secure the UUI data will result in an additional body being added to the request. Hopwise TLS allows the header field to meet REQ-15 for hop-by-hop security. 4. Normative Definition This document defines a new SIP header field "User-to-User" to transport call control UUI data to meet the requirements in [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs]. To help tag and identify the UUI data used with this header field, "package", "content", and "encoding" parameters are defined. The "package" parameter identifies the package which defines the generation and usage of the UUI data for a particular application. For the case of interworking with the ISDN UUI Service, the ISDN UUI Service interworking package is used. If the "package" parameter is not present, interworking with the ISDN UUI Service MUST be assumed. The "content" parameter identifies the actual content of the UUI data. If not present, the content MUST be assumed to be unknown as it is in the ISDN UUI Service. Newly defined UUI packages MUST define a new "content" value. The "encoding" parameter indicates the method of encoding the information in the UUI data. This specification only defines "encoding=hex". If the "encoding" parameter is not present, "hex" MUST be assumed. UUI data is considered an opaque series of octets. This mechanism SHOULD NOT be used to convey a URL or URI; the Call-Info header field [RFC3261] is used for this purpose. 4.1. Syntax for UUI Header Field The User-to-User header field can be present in INVITE requests and responses only and in BYE requests and responses. Note that only end-to-end responses can be used, e.g. 1xx (excluding 100), 2xx, and 3xx responses. Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 The following syntax specification uses the augmented Backus-Naur Form (BNF) as described in RFC 5234 and extends RFC 3261. UUI = "User-to-User" HCOLON uui-value *(COMMA uui-value) uui-value = uui-data *(SEMI uui-param) uui-data = token / quoted-string uui-param = pkg-param / cont-param / enc-param / generic-param pkg-param = "package" EQUAL token cont-param = "content" EQUAL token enc-param = "encoding" EQUAL ("hex" / token) The rules for how many User-to-User header field of each package may be present in a request or a response are defined for each package. Any size limitations on the UUI data for a particular purpose must be defined by the related UUI package. 4.2. Source Identity of UUI data It is important for the recipient of UUI data to know the identity of the UA that inserted the UUI data. In a request without a History- Info [I-D.ietf-sipcore-rfc4244bis] header field, the identity of the entity which inserted the UUI data will be assumed to be the source of the SIP message. For a SIP request, typically this is the UA identified by the URI in the From header field or a P-Asserted- Identity [RFC3325] header field. In a request with a History-Info header field, the recipient needs to parse the Targeted-to-URIs present (hi-targeted-to-uri) to see if any escaped User-to-User header fields are present. If an escaped User-to-User header field is present and matches the UUI data in the request, this indicates that redirection has taken place, resulting in the inclusion of UUI data in the request. The inserter of the UUI data will be the UA identified by the Targeted-to-URI of the History-Info element prior to the element with the escaped UUI data. In a response, the inserter of the UUI data will be the identity of the UA that generated the response. Typically, this is the UA identified in the To header field of the response. Note that any updates to this identity by use of the SIP Connected Identity extension [RFC4916] or others will update this information. For an example of History-Info and redirection, consider Figure 2 from [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs] where the Originating UA is Carol, the Redirector Bob, and the Terminating UA Alice. The INVITE F4 containing UUI data could be: Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 INVITE sips:alice@example.com SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/TLS lab.example.com:5061 ;branch=z9hG4bKnashds9 To: Bob From: Carol ;tag=323sf33k2 Call-ID: dfaosidfoiwe83ifkdf Max-Forwards: 70 Contact: Supported: histinfo User-to-User: 342342ef34;encoding=hex History-Info: ;index=1 History-Info: ;index=1.1;rc=1 Without the redirection captured in the History-Info, Alice would conclude the UUI data was inserted by Carol. However, the History- Info containing UUI data (index=1.1) indicates that the inserter was Bob (index=1). Note that the tag convention from SIP Torture Test Messages [RFC4475] is used to show that there are no line breaks in the actual message syntax. To enable maintaining a record of the inserter identity of UUI data, UAs supporting this mechanism SHOULD support History-Info [I-D.ietf-sipcore-rfc4244bis] and include Supported: histinfo in all requests and responses. 5. Guidelines for UUI Packages UUI packages defined using this SIP UUI mechanism must publish a standards track RFC which describes the usage. Note that this mechanism is not suitable for the transport of arbitrary data between endpoints. The following guidelines are provided to help determine if this mechanism is appropriate or some other SIP mechanism should be used. The SIP UUI mechanism is applicable when all of the following conditions be met: 1. The information is generated and consumed by an application during session setup using SIP, but the application is not necessarily SIP aware. 2. The behavior of SIP entities that support it is not significantly changed (as discussed in Section 4 of [RFC5727]). Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 3. User Agent Clients (UAC) and User Agent Servers (UAS) are the generators and consumers of the UUI data. Proxies and other intermediaries may route based on the presence of a User-to-User header field or a particular package tag but do not otherwise consume or generate the UUI data. 4. There are no overriding privacy issues associated with the information being transported (e.g., geolocation or emergency- related information are examples of inappropriate UUI data). 5. The UUI data is not being utilized for user-to-user Remote Procedure Call (RPC) calls. UUI packages define the semantics for a particular application usage of UUI data. The content defines the syntax of the UUI data, while the encoding defines the encoding of the UUI data. Each content is defined as a stream of octets, which allows multiple encodings of that content. For example, packages may define: 1. The SIP methods and responses in which the UUI data may be present. 2. The number of UUI data elements that may be present in a request or response. (The default is one.) 3. The default values for content and encoding if they are not present. 4. Any size limitations on the UUI data. Size should be specified in terms of the octet stream output of the content, since the size of the resulting uui-data element will vary depending on the encoding scheme. New "package" values MUST describe the new application which is utilizing the UUI data and provide some use case example examples. The default "content" value and other allowed contents MUST be defined or referenced in another document for the package. Any restrictions on the size of the UUI data must be described. In addition, a package may define a Media Feature tag per RFC 3840 [RFC3840] to indicate support for this UUI package. For example, the media feature tag sip.uui-pk1 could be defined to indicate support for a UUI package named pk1. The definition of a new SIP option tag solely to identify support for a UUI package is NOT RECOMMENDED unless there are additional SIP behaviors needed to implement this feature. For an example UUI package definition, see [I-D.drage-cuss-sip-uui-isdn]. Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 8] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 This specification defines only the value of "hex" for the "encoding" parameter. Hex encoding, as used for UUI data is defined to use only the characters 0-9, A-F, or a-f. Hex encoded UUI data must have an even number of octets, and is considered invalid if has an odd number. Hex encoding is normally done as a token, although quoted- string is permitted, in which case the quotes are ignored. Hex encoding yields a sequence of octets, one octet per two hex digits, in the same order, with the first digit of each pair defining the high order four bits of the octet and the second digit providing the low order four bits. New "encoding" values must reference a common encoding scheme or define the exact new encoding scheme. New values can be defined and added to the IANA registry with a standards track RFC, which needs to discuss the issues in this section. New "content" values must describe the content of the UUI data and give some example use cases. The default "encoding" and other allowed encoding methods must be defined for this new content. Note that a content value can be used by multiple UUI packages. In this case, the semantics and usage of the content is defined by the package. 6. IANA Considerations 6.1. Registration of User-to-User Header Field This document defines a new SIP header field named "User-to-User". The following row shall be added to the "Header Fields" section of the SIP parameter registry: +------------------+--------------+-----------+ | Header Name | Compact Form | Reference | +------------------+--------------+-----------+ | User-to-User | | [RFCXXXX] | +------------------+--------------+-----------+ Editor's Note: [RFCXXXX] should be replaced with the designation of this document. 6.2. Registration of User-to-User Header Field Parameters This document defines the parameters for the header field defined in the preceding section. The header field "User-to-User" can contain the parameters "encoding", "content", and "package". Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 9] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 The following rows shall be added to the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values" section of the SIP parameter registry: +------------------+----------------+-------------------+-----------+ | Header Field | Parameter Name | Predefined Values | Reference | +------------------+----------------+-------------------+-----------+ | User-to-User | encoding | hex | [RFCXXXX] | +------------------+----------------+-------------------+-----------+ | User-to-User | content | | [RFCXXXX] | +------------------+----------------+-------------------+-----------+ | User-to-User | package | | [RFCXXXX] | +------------------+----------------+-------------------+-----------+ Editor's Note: [RFCXXXX] should be replaced with the designation of this document. 6.3. Registration of UUI Packages This specification establishes the uui-packages sub-registry under http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters. New uui-packages shall be registered by standards track RFC publication. The descriptive text for the table of uui-content is: UUI Packages provides information about the usage of the UUI data in a User-to-User header field [RFCXXXX]. +------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Package | Description | Reference | +------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------+ 6.4.

Registration of SIP Option Tag This specification registers a new SIP option tag, as per the guidelines in Section 27.1 of [RFC3261]. This document defines the SIP option tag "uui". The following row has been added to the "Option Tags" section of the SIP Parameter Registry: +------------+------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Name | Description | Reference | +------------+------------------------------------------+-----------+ | uui | This option tag is used to indicate that | [RFCXXXX] | | | a UA supports and understands the | | | | User-to-User header field. | | +------------+------------------------------------------+-----------+ Editor's Note: [RFCXXXX] should be replaced with the designation of this document. 7. Security Considerations User to user information can potentially carry sensitive information that might require privacy or integrity protection. Standard deployed SIP security mechanisms such as TLS transport, offer these properties on a hop-by-hop basis. To preserve multi-hop or end-to- end confidentiality and integrity of UUI data, approaches using S/MIME or IPSec can be used, as discussed in the draft. However, the Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 11] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 lack of deployment of these mechanisms means that applications can not in general rely on them. As such, applications are encouraged to utilize their own security mechanisms. 8. Appendix - Other Possible Mechanisms Two other possible mechanisms for transporting UUI data will be described: MIME body and URI parameter transport. 8.1. Why INFO is Not Used Since the INFO method [RFC6086], was developed for ISUP interworking of user-to-user information, it might seem to be the logical choice here. For non-call control user-to-user information, INFO can be utilized for end to end transport. However, for transport of call control user-to-user information, INFO can not be used. As the call flows in [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs] show, the information is related to an attempt to establish a session and must be passed with the session setup request (INVITE), responses to that INVITE, or session termination requests. As a result, it is not possible to use INFO in these cases. 8.2. Why Other Protocol Encapsulation UUI Mechanisms are Not Used Other protocols have the ability to transport UUI data. For example, consider the ITU-T Q.931 User to User Information Element (UU IE) [Q931] and the ITU-T Q.763 User to User Information Parameter [Q763]. In addition, NSS (Narrowband Signaling System) [Q1980] is also able to transport UUI data. Should one of these protocols be in use, and present in both User Agents, then utilizing these other protocols to transport UUI data might be a logical solution. Essentially, this is just adding an additional layer in the protocol stack. In these cases, SIP is not transporting the UUI data; it is encapsulating another protocol, and that protocol is transporting the UUI data. Once a mechanism to transport that other protocol using SIP exists, the UUI data transport function is essentially obtained without any additional effort or work. However, the authors believe that SIP needs to have its own native UUI data transport mechanism. It is not reasonable for a SIP UA to have to implement another entire protocol (either ISDN or NSS, for example) just to get the very simple UUI data transport service. Of course, this work does not preclude anyone from using other protocols with SIP to transport UUI data. Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 12] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 8.3. MIME body Approach One method of transport is to use a MIME body. This is in keeping with the SIP-T architecture [RFC3372] in which MIME bodies are used to transport ISUP information. Since the INVITE will normally have an SDP message body, the resulting INVITE with SDP and UUI data will be multipart MIME. This is not ideal as many SIP UAs do not support multipart MIME INVITEs. A bigger problem is the insertion of a UUI message body by a redirect server or in a REFER. The body would need to be encoded in the Contact URI of the 3xx response or the Refer-To URI of a REFER. Currently, the authors are not aware of any UAs that support this capability today for any body type. As such, the complete set of semantics for this operation would need to be determined and defined. Some issues will need to be resolved, such as, do all the Content-* header fields have to be escaped as well? And, what if the escaped Content-Length does not agree with the escaped body? Since proxies cannot remove a body from a request or response, it is not clear how this mechanism could meet REQ-9. The requirement for integrity protection could be met by the use of an S/MIME signature over the body, as defined in Section 23.3 of RFC 3261 "Securing MIME bodies". Alternatively, this could be achieved using RFC 4474 [RFC4474]. The requirement for end-to-end privacy could be met using S/MIME encryption or using encryption at the application layer. However, note that neither S/MIME or RFC 4474 enjoys deployment in SIP today. An example: Contact: As such, the MIME body approach meets REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-4, REQ-5, REQ-7, REQ-11, REQ-13, and REQ-14. Meeting REQ-12 seems possible, although the authors do not have a specific mechanism to propose. Meeting REQ-3 is problematic, but not impossible for this mechanism. However, this mechanism does not seem to be able to meet REQ-9. 8.4. URI Parameter Another proposed approach is to encode the UUI data as a URI parameter. This UUI parameter could be included in a Request-URI or in the Contact URI or Refer-To URI. It is not clear how it could be Johnston & Rafferty Expires May 3, 2012 [Page 13] Internet-Draft SIP UUI for CC October 2011 transported in a responses which does not have a Request-URI, or in BYE requests or responses. Contact: An INVITE sent to this Contact URI would contain UUI data in the Request-URI of the INVITE. The URI parameter has a drawback in that a URI parameter carried in a Request-URI will not survive retargeting by a proxy as shown in Figure 2 of [I-D.ietf-cuss-sip-uui-reqs]. That is, if the URI is included with an Address of Record instead of a Contact URI, the URI parameter in the Reqeuest-URI will not be copied over to the Contact URI, resulting in the loss of the information. Note that if this same URI was present in a Refer-To header field, the same loss of information would occur. The URI parameter approach would meet REQ-3, REQ-5, REQ-7, REQ-9, and REQ-11. It is possible the approach could meet REQ-12 and REQ-13. The mechanism does not appear to meet REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-4, and REQ-14. 9.
