Network Working Group C. Holmberg Internet-Draft J. Holm Intended status: Standards Track Ericsson Expires: August 16, 2015 R. Jesske Deutsche Telekom M. Dolly ATT February 12, 2015 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) SIP URI Inter Operator Traffic Leg parameter draft-holmberg-dispatch-iotl-05.txt Abstract In 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, the signalling path between a calling user and a called user can be partioned into segments, referred to as traffic legs. Each traffic leg may span networks belonging to different operators, and will have its own characteristics that can be different from other traffic legs in the same call. A traffic leg might be associated with multiple SIP dialogs, e.g. in case a B2BUA which modifies the SIP dialog identifier is located within the traffic leg. This document defines a new SIP URI parameter, 'iotl'. The parameter can be used in a SIP URI to indicate that the entity associated with the address, or an entity responsible for the host part of the address, represents the end of a specific traffic leg (or multiple traffic legs). The SIP URI 'iotl' parameter defined in this document has known uses in 3GPP networks. Usage in other networks is also possible.

Introduction In a 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, an end user device can be attached (e.g. using a radio access network) to its own operator network (home network) [TS.3GPP.24.229], or to another operator's network (visited network) [TS.3GPP.24.229]. In the latter case the user is referred to as a roaming user. 3GPP operator networks are often not connected directly to each other. Instead, there might be intermediate networks, referred to as 3GPP transit networks, between them. Such transit network act on SIP level or on IP level. In 3GPP networks, the signalling path between a calling user and a called user can be partioned into segments, referred to as traffic legs. Each traffic leg may span networks belonging to different operators, and will have its own characteristics that can be different from other traffic legs in the same call. A traffic leg might be associated with multiple SIP dialogs, e.g. in case a Back- To-Back User Agent (B2BUA) [RFC3261] which modifies the SIP dialog identifier is located within the traffic leg. The traffic leg information can be used by intermediary entities to make policy decisions, related to e.g. media anchoring, signalling policy, insertion of media functions (e.g. transcoder) and charging. The figure below shows two users (Alice and Bob) and the different type of networks that the signaling might traverse. The signalling path can be divided into multiple traffic legs, and the type of traffic legs depends on how the signalling is routed. Holmberg, et al.

In both cases any originating service is provided by the home network of Alice. Bob is attached to a terminating network, which is either the home network of Bob, or a visited network (in case Bob is roaming). In both cases any terminating service is provided by the home network of Bob. A transit network, providing transit functions (e.g. translation of free phone numbers), may be included between the originating and terminating networks and between visited and home networks. This document defines a new SIP URI parameter [RFC3261], 'iotl' (an abbreviation of Inter Operator Traffic Leg). The parameter can be used in a SIP URI to indicate that the entity associated with the address, or an entity responsible for the host part of the address, represents the end of a specific traffic leg (or multiple traffic legs). This document defines the following 'iotl' parameter values: Holmberg, et al. Expires August 16, 2015 [Page 4] Internet-Draft 3GPP IOTL February 2015 o homea-homeb o homeb-visitedb o visiteda-homea o homea-visiteda o visiteda-homeb SIP entities that do not support the SIP URI 'iotl' parameter will simply ignore it, if received, as defined in [RFC3261]. 2. Applicability The SIP URI 'iotl' parameter defined in this document has known uses in 3GPP networks. Usage in other networks is also possible. 3. Use-cases 3.1. General This section describes examples of different types of traffic legs in 3GPP networks. 3.2. Originating roaming call In this case, Alice is located in a visited network. When Alice sends the initial SIP INVITE request for a call, one traffic leg (referred to as the 'visiteda-homea' traffic leg) represents the signalling path between the UA of Alice and the home S-CSCF [3GPP TS 24.229] of Alice. 3.3. Terminating roaming call In this case, Bob is located in a visited network. When the home S-CSCF of Bob forwards the initial SIP INVITE request for a call towards Bob, one traffic leg (referred to as the 'homeb-visitedb' traffic leg) represents the signalling path between the home S-CSCF of Bob and the UA of Bob. 3.4. Originating home to terminating home call In this case, the home S-CSCF of Alice forwards the initial SIP INVITE request towards the home S-CSCF of Bob. The signalling path between the S-CSCFs represents one traffic leg (referred to as the 'homea-homeb' traffic leg). Holmberg, et al.

Conventions 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 [RFC2119]. 5. iotl SIP URI parameter 5.1. Usage As specified in [RFC3261], when a SIP entity inserts a SIP URI in an initial request for a dialog, or in a stand-alone request, the SIP URI will be used to route the request to another SIP entity, addressed by the SIP URI, or to a SIP entity responsible for the host part of the SIP URI (e.g. a SIP registrar). If such entity represents the end of one or more traffic legs, the SIP entity inserting the SIP URI can add a SIP URI 'iotl' parameter to the SIP URI, to indicate the type(s) of traffic leg. Each parameter value indicates a type of traffic leg. For routing of a SIP request, a SIP entity can add the 'iotl' parameter to the SIP URI of the Request-URI [RFC3261], or to the SIP URI of a Route header field [RFC3261], of an initial request for a dialog, or of an stand-alone request. SIP entities can add the 'iotl' parameter to the SIP URI of a Path header field [RFC3327] or a Service-Route header field [RFC3608], in order for the parameter to later occur in a Route header field. When a SIP entity receives an initial request for a dialog, or a stand-alone request, which contains one or more SIP URI 'iotl' parameters, it identifies the type of traffic leg in the following way: o If the SIP request contains a single Route header field containing a SIP URI with an 'iotl' parameter, that parameter identifies the type of traffic leg; o If the SIP request contains multiple Route header fields containing a SIP URI with an 'iotl' parameter, the 'iotl' parameter associated with the SIP URI of the topmost Route header field (or, if the SIP URI of the topmost Route header field does not contain an 'iotl' parameter, the SIP URI of the Route header field closest to the topmost) identifies the type of traffic leg; or o If a SIP request contains an 'iotl' parameter only in the Request- URI SIP URI, the 'iotl' parameter identifies the type of traffic leg. Holmberg, et al. Expires August 16, 2015 [Page 6] Internet-Draft 3GPP IOTL February 2015 During SIP registration [RFC3261], entities can add the 'iotl' parameter to the SIP URI of a Path or Service-Route header field, if the entity is aware that SIP URI will be used to indicate the end of a specific traffic leg for initial requests for dialogs, or stand- alone requests, sent on the registration path. As defined in [RFC3261], a SIP entity must not modify or remove uri parameters from SIP URIs associated with other entities. This also applies to the 'iotl' parameter. 5.2. Parameter Values 5.2.1. General This section describes the SIP URI 'iotl' parameter values defined in this specification. 5.2.2. homea-homeb This value indicates that a SIP entity responsible for the host part of the SIP URI associated with the parameter represents the end of a traffic leg between the home network (originating) of the calling user and the home network (terminating) of the called user. In 3GPP, this traffic leg is between two S-CSCFs. 5.2.3. homeb-visitedb This value indicates that the SIP entity addressed by the SIP URI associated with the parameter represents the end of a traffic leg between the home network (terminating) of the called user and the visited network (terminating) in which the called user is located. In 3GPP, this traffic leg is between the home S-CSCF and the UE of the called user, or between the Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS) in the home network of the called user and Access Transfer Control Function (ATCF) in the visited network of the called user. 5.2.4. visiteda-homea This value indicates that a SIP entity responsible for the host part of the SIP URI associated with the parameter represents the end of a traffic leg between the visited network (originating) in which the calling user is located and the home network (originating) of the calling user. Holmberg, et al. Expires August 16, 2015 [Page 7] Internet-Draft 3GPP IOTL February 2015 In 3GPP, this traffic leg is between the UE and the home S-CSCF of the calling user, or between the P-CSCF in the visited network, serving the calling user, and the home S-CSCF of the calling user. 5.2.5. homea-visiteda This value indicates that the SIP entity addressed by the SIP URI associated with the parameter represents the end of a traffic leg between the home network (originating) and the visited network (originating) in which the calling user is located. In 3GPP, this traffic leg is between the home S-CSCF of the calling user and the Transit and Roaming Function (TRF) [3GPP TS 24.229] serving the calling user, and exists in scenarios where the home S-CSCF of the calling user forwards a request back to the visited network where the UE of the calling user is located. An example of this is when the Roaming Architecture for Voice over IMS with Local breakout (RAVEL) [3GPP TS 24.229] feature is enabled. 5.2.6. visiteda-homeb This value indicates that a SIP entity responsible for the host part of the SIP URI associated with the parameter represents the end of a traffic leg between the visited network (originating) of the calling user and the home network (terminating) of the called user. In 3GPP, this traffic leg is between the Transit and Roaming Function (TRF) [3GPP TS 24.229] serving the calling user and the home S-CSCF of the called user, and exists in scenarios where a request is forwarded from the visited network where the calling user is located directly to the home S-CSCF of the called user. An example of this is when the Roaming Architecture for Voice over IMS with Local breakout (RAVEL) [3GPP TS 24.229] feature is enabled. 6. Syntax 6.1. General This section defines the ABNF for the 'iotl' SIP URI parameter. The ABNF defined in this specification is conformant to RFC 5234 [RFC5234]. This specification does not create an IANA registry for 'iotl' parameter values. A registry should be considered if new parameter values are defined in the future. Holmberg, et al. Expires August 16, 2015 [Page 8] Internet-Draft 3GPP IOTL February 2015 6.2. ABNF The ABNF [RFC5234] grammar for the role SIP URI parameter is: uri-parameter =/ iotl-param iotl-param = iotl-tag "=" iotl-value ["." iotl-value] iotl-tag = "iotl" iotl-value = "homea-homeb" / "homeb-visitedb" / "visiteda-homea" / "homea-visiteda" / "visiteda-homeb" / other-iotl other-iotl = 1*iotl-char iotl-char = alphanum / "-" ;; alphanum defined in RFC 3261 7. Security Considerations The information in the 'iotl' parameter is used for making policy decisions. Such policies can be related to charging and triggering of services. In order to prevent abuse, which could cause user billing, or service failure, the parameter SHOULD only be used for making policy decisions based on the role by nodes within the same trust domain [RFC3325], and network boundary entities MUST NOT forward information received from untrusted entities. In addition, there MUST exist an agreement between the operators for usage of the roaming role information. General security considerations for SIP are defined in [RFC3261] 8. IANA Considerations [RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please replace RFC-XXXX with the RFC number of this document.] This specification adds one new value to the IANA registration in the "SIP/SIPS URI Parameters" registry as defined in [RFC3969].
