1. Introduction
The objective of this document is to define a reference peering
architecture in the context of Session PEERing for Multimedia
INTerconnect (SPEERMINT). In this process, we define the peering
reference architecture (reference, for short), it's functional
components, and peering interface functions from the perspective of a
real-time communications (Voice and Multimedia) IP Service provider
network.
This architecture allows the interconnection of two service providers
in layer 5 peering as defined in the SPEERMINT Requirements [13] and
Terminology [12] documents for the purpose SIP-based voice and
multimedia traffic.
Layer 3 peering is outside the scope of this document. Hence, the
figures in this document do not show routers so that the focus is on
Layer 5 protocol aspects.
This document uses terminology defined in the SPEERMINT Terminology
document [12].
2. Network Context
Figure 1 shows an example network context. Two SIP providers can form
a Layer 5 peer over either the public Internet or private Layer 3
networks. In addition, two or more providers may form a SIP (Layer 5)
federation [17] on either the public Internet or private Layer 3
networks. This document does not make any assumption whether the SIP
providers directly peer to each other or through Layer 3 transit
network as per use case of [16].
Note that Figure 1 allows for the following potential SPEERMINT
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
peering scenarios:
o Enterprise to Enterprise across the public Internet
o Enterprise to Service Provider across the public Internet
o Service Provider to Service Provider across the public Internet
o Enterprise to enterprise across a private Layer 3 network
o Enterprise to Service Provider across a private Layer 3 network
o Service Provider to Service Provider across a private Layer 3
network
The members of a federation may jointly use a set of functions such
as location peering function, application function, subscriber
database function, SIP proxies, and/or functions that synthesize
various SIP and non-SIP based applications. Similarly, two providers
may jointly use a set of peering functions. The federation functions
or the peering functions can be either public or private.

3. Procedures
This document assumes that a call from an end user in the initiating
peer goes through the following steps to establish a call to an end
user in the receiving peer:
1. The analysis of a target address.
a. If the target address represents an intra-VSP resource,
we go directly to step 4.
2. the discovery of the receiving peering point address,
3. the enforcement of authentication and other policy,
4. the discovery of end user address,
5. the routing of SIP messages,
6. the session establishment,
7. the transfer of media,
8. and the session termination.
4. Reference SPEERMINT Architecture

Figure 2: Reference SPEERMINT Architecture
The procedures presented in Chapter 3 are implemented by a set of
peering functions:
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
o Location Function (LF): Purpose is to develop Session
Establishment Data (SED) by discovering the Signaling Function
(SF) and the end user's reachable host (IP address and port). The
location function is distributed across the Location Server (LS)
and Session Manager (SM).
o Signaling Function (SF): Purpose is to perform SIP call routing,
to optionally perform termination and re-initiation of call, to
optionally implement security and policies on SIP messages, and to
assist in discovery/exchange of parameters to be used by the Media
Function (MF). The signaling function is located within the
Signaling Path Border Element (SBE)
o Media Function (MF): Purpose is to perform media related function
such as media transcoding and media security implementation
between two SIP providers. The media function is located within
the Data Path Border Element (DBE).
The intention of defining these functions is to provide a framework
for design segmentation and allow each one to evolve separately.
5. Peer Function Examples
This section describes the peering functions in more detail and
provides some examples on the role they would play in a SIP call in a
Layer 5 peering scenario.
Some of the information in the chapter is taken from [14].
5.1. The Location Function (LF) of an Initiating Provider
Purpose is to develop Session Establishment Data (SED) [12] by
discovering the Signaling Function (SF), and end user's reachable
host (IP address and host). The LF of an Initiating provider analyzes
target address and discovers the next hop signaling function (SF) in
a peering relationship using DNS, SIP Redirect Server, or a
functional equivalent database.
5.1.1. Target address analysis
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
When the initiating provider receives a request to communicate, the
initiating provider analyzes the target state data to determine
whether the call needs to be terminated internal or external to its
network. The analysis method is internal to the provider's policy;
thus, outside the scope of SPEERMINT. Note that the peer is free to
consult any manner of private data sources to make this
determination.
If the target address does not represent a resource inside the
initiating peer's administrative domain or federation of domains, the
initiating provider resolves the call routing data by using the
Location Function (LF). Examples of the LF are the functions of ENUM,
Routing Table, SIP DNS, and SIP Redirect Server.
If the request to communicate is for an im: or pres: URI type, the
initiating peer follows the procedures in [8]. If the highest
priority supported URI scheme is sip: or sips:, the initiating peer
skips to SIP DNS resolution in Section 5.1.5. Likewise, if the target
address is already a sip: or sips: URI in an external domain, the
initiating peer skips to SIP DNS resolution in Section 5.1.5.
If the target address corresponds to a specific E.164 address, the
peer may need to perform some form of number plan mapping according
to local policy. For example, in the United States, a dial string
beginning "011 44" could be converted to "+44", or in the United
Kingdom "00 1" could be converted to "+1". Once the peer has an
E.164 address, it can use ENUM.
5.1.2. User ENUM Lookup
If an external E.164 address is the target, the initiating peer
consults the public "User ENUM" rooted at e164.arpa, according to the
procedures described in RFC 3761. The peer MUST query for the
"E2U+sip" enumservice as described in RFC 3764 [11], but MAY check
for other enumservices. The initiating peer MAY consult a cache or
alternate representation of the ENUM data rather than actual DNS
queries. Also, the peer MAY skip actual DNS queries if the
initiating peer is sure that the target address country code is not
represented in e164.arpa. If a sip: or sips: URI is chosen the peer
skips to Section 5.1.5.
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
If an im: or pres: URI is chosen for based on an "E2U+im" [10] or
"E2U+pres" [9] enumserver, the peer follows the procedures for
resolving these URIs to URIs for specific protocols such a SIP or
XMPP as described in the previous section.
5.1.3. Carrier ENUM lookup
Next the initiating peer checks for a carrier-of-record in a carrier
ENUM domain according to the procedures described in [12]. As in the
previous step, the peer MAY consult a cache or alternate
representation of the ENUM data in lieu of actual DNS queries. The
peer first checks for records for the "E2U+sip" enumservice, then for
the "E2U+pstn" enumservice as defined in [21]. If a terminal record
is found with a sip: or sips: URI, the peer skips to Section 5.1.5,
otherwise the peer continues processing according to the next
section.
5.1.4. Routing Table
If there is no user ENUM records and the initiating peer cannot
discover the carrier-of-record or if the initiating peer cannot reach
the carrier-of-record via SIP peering, the initiating peer still
needs to deliver the call to the PSTN or reject the call. Note that
the initiating peer MAY still sends the call to another provider for
PSTN gateway termination by prior arrangement using a routing table.
If so, the initiating peer rewrites the Request-URI to address the
gateway resource in the target provider's domain and MAY forward the
request on to that provider using the procedures described in the
remainder of these steps.
5.1.5. SIP DNS Resolution
Once a sip: or sips: in an external domain is selected as the target,
the initiating peer MAY apply local policy to decide whether
forwarding requests to the target domain is acceptable. If so, the
initiating peer uses the procedures in RFC 3263 [6] Section 4 to
determine how to contact the receiving peer. To summarize the RFC
3263 procedure: unless these are explicitly encoded in the target
URI, a transport is chosen using NAPTR records, a port is chosen
using SRV records, and an address is chosen using A or AAAA records.
Note that these are queries of records in the global DNS.
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
When communicating with a public external peer, entities compliant to
this document MUST only select a TLS-protected transport for
communication from the initiating peer to the receiving peer. Note
that this is a single-hop requirement. Either peer MAY insist on
using a sips: URI which asserts that each hop is TLS-protected, but
this document does not require protection over each hop.
5.1.6. SIP Redirect Server
A SIP Redirect Server may help in resolving current address of a
mobile target address.
5.2. The Location Function (LF) of a Receiving Provider
5.2.1. Publish ENUM records
The receiving peer SHOULD participate by publishing "E2U+sip" and
"E2U+pstn" records with sip: or sips: URIs wherever a public carrier
ENUM root is available. This assumes that the receiving peer wants
to peer by default. Even when the receiving peer does not want to
accept traffic from specific initiating peers, it MAY still reject
requests on a case-by-case basis.
5.2.2. Publish SIP DNS records
To receive peer requests, the receiving peer MUST insure that it
publishes appropriate NAPTR, SRV, and address (A and/or AAAA) records
in the global DNS that resolve an appropriate transport, port, and
address to a relevant SIP server.
5.2.3. Subscribe Notify
Policy function may also be optionally implemented by dynamic
subscribe, notify, and exchange of policy information and feature
information among providers [22].
5.3. Signaling Function (SF)
The purpose of signaling function is to perform routing of SIP
messages, to optionally perform termination and re-initiation of a
call, to optionally implement security and policies on SIP messages,
and to assist in discovery/exchange of parameters to be used by the
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
Media Function (MF).
The routing of SIP messages are performed by SIP proxies. The
optional termination and re-initiation of calls are performed by
B2BUA.
Optionally, a SF may perform additional functions such as Session
Admission Control, SIP Denial of Service protection, SIP Topology
Hiding, SIP header normalization, and SIP security, privacy and
encryption.
The signaling function can also process SDP payloads for media
information such as media type, bandwidth, and type of codec; then,
communicate this information to the media function. Signaling
function may optionally communicate with network layer to pass Layer
3 related policies [10]
5.4. The Signaling Function (SF) of an Initiating Provider
5.4.1. Setup TLS connection
Once a transport, port, and address are found, the initiating peer
will open or find a reusable TLS connection to the peer. The
initiating provider MUST verify the server certificate which SHOULD
be rooted in a well-known certificate authority. The initiating
provider MUST be prepared to provide a TLS client certificate upon
request during the TLS handshake. The client certificate MUST
contain a DNS or URI choice type in the subjectAltName which
corresponds to the domain asserted in the host production of the From
header URI. The certificate SHOULD be valid and rooted in a well-
known certificate authority.
Note that the client certificate MAY contain a list of entries in the
subjectAltName, only one of which has to match the domain in the From
header URI.
5.4.2. IPSec
In certain deployments the use of IPSec between the signaling
functions of the originating and terminating domains can be used as a
security mechanism instead of TLS.
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
5.4.3. Co-Location
In this scenario the signaling functions are co-located in a
physically secure location and/or are members of a segregated
network. In this case messages between the originating and
terminating domains would be sent as clear text.
5.4.4. Send the SIP request
Once a TLS connection between the peers is established, the
initiating peer sends the request. When sending some requests, the
initiating peer MUST verify and assert the senders identity using the
SIP Identity mechanism.
The domain name in the URI of the From: header MUST be a domain which
was present in the certificate presented when establishing the TLS
connection for this request, even if the user part has an anonymous
value. If the From header contains the user URI parameter with the
value of "phone", the user part of the From header URI MUST be a
complete and valid tel: URI [9] telephone-subscriber production, and
SHOULD be a global-number. For example, the following are all
acceptable, the first three are encouraged:
From: "John Doe" <john.doe@example.net>
From: "+12125551212" <+12125551212@example.net;user=phone>
From: "Anonymous" <anonymous@example.net>
From: <4092;phone-context=+12125554000@example.net;user=phone>
From: "5551212" <5551212@example.net>
The following are not acceptable:
From: "2125551212" <2125551212@example.net;user=phone>
From: "Anonymous" <anonymous@anonymous.invalid>
In addition, for new dialog-forming requests and non-dialog-forming
requests, the request MUST contain a valid Identity and Identity-Info
header as described in [12]. The Identity-Info header must present a
domain name which is represented in the certificate presented when
establishing the TLS connection over which the request is sent. The
initiating peer SHOULD include an Identity header on in-dialog
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
requests as well, if the From header field value matches an identity
the initiating peer is willing to assert.
The initiating peer MAY include any SIP option-tags in Supported,
Require, or Proxy-Require headers according to procedures in
standards-track SIP extensions. Note however that the initiating
peer MUST be prepared to fallback to baseline SIP functionality as
defined by the mandatory-to-implement features of RFC 3261, RFC 3263,
and RFC 3264 [7], except that peers implementing this specification
MUST implement SIP over TLS using the sip: URI scheme, the SIP
Identity header, and RFC 4320 [10] non-INVITE transaction fixes.
5.5. The Signaling Function (SF) of an Initiating Provider
5.5.1. Verify TLS connection
When the receiving peer receives a TLS client hello, it responds with
its certificate. The receiving peer certificate SHOULD be valid and
rooted in a well-known certificate authority. The receiving peer
MUST request and verify the client certificate during the TLS
handshake.
Once the initiating peer has been authenticated, the receiving peer
can authorize communication from this peer based on the domain name
of the peer and the root of its certificate. This allows two
authorization models to be used, together or separately. In the
domain-based model, the receiving peer can allow communication from
peers with some trusted administrative domains which use general-
purpose certificate authorities, without explicitly permitting all
domains with certificates rooted in the same authority. It also
allows a certificate authority (CA) based model where every domain
with a valid certificate rooted in some list of CAs is automatically
authorized.
5.5.2. Receive SIP requests
Once a TLS connection is established, the receiving peer is prepared
to receive incoming SIP requests. For new dialog-forming requests
and out-of-dialog requests, the receiving peer verifies that the
target (request-URI) is a domain which for which it is responsible.
(For these requests, there should be no remaining Route header field
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
values.) Next the receiving verifies that the Identity header is
valid, corresponds to the message, corresponds to the Identity-Info
header, and that the domain in the From header corresponds to one of
the domains in the TLS client certificate.
For in-dialog requests, the receiving peer can verify that it
corresponds to the top-most Route header field value. The peer also
validates any Identity header if present.
The receiving peer MAY reject incoming requests due to local policy.
When a request is rejected because the initiating peer is not
authorized to peer, the receiving peer SHOULD respond with a 403
response with the reason phrase "Unsupported Peer".
5.6. Media Function (MF)
Examples of the media function is to transform voice payload from one
coding (e.g., G.711) to another (e.g., EvRC), media relaying, media
security, privacy, and encryption.
Editor's Note: This section will be further updated.
5.7. Policy Considerations
In the context of the SPEERMINT working group when two Layer 5
devices (e.g., SIP Proxies) peer, there is a need to exchange peering
policy information. There are specifications in progress in the
SIPPING working group to define policy exchange between an UA and a
domain [23] and providing profile data to SIP user agents [24] These
considerations borrow from both.
Following the terminology introduced in [12], this package uses the
terms Peering Session-Independent and Session-Specific policies in
the following context.
o Peering Session-Independent policies include Diffserv Marking,
Policing, Session Admission Control, domain reachabilities,
amongst others. The time period between Peering Session-
Independent policy changes is much greater than the time it takes
to establish a call.
Penno Expires January 2008 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft SPEERMINT peering architecture July 2007
o Peering Session-Specific polices includes supported
connection/call rate, total number of connections/calls available,
current utilization, amongst others. Peering Session-specific
policies can change within the time it takes to establish a call.
These policies can be Peer dependent or independent, creating the
following peering policy tree definition:
Peer Independent
Session dependent
Session independent
Peer Dependent
Session dependent
Session independent
6. Call Control and Media Control Deployment Options
The peering functions can either be deployed along the following two
dimensions depending upon how the signaling function and the media
function along with IP functions are implemented:
Composed or Decomposed: Addresses the question whether the media
paths must flow through the same physical and geographic nodes as the
call signaling,
Centralized or Distributed: Addresses the question whether the
logical and physical peering points are in one geographical location
or distributed to multiple physical locations on the service provider
network.
In a composed model, SF and MF functions are implemented in one
peering logical element.

... Scope of peering
Figure 3: Decomposed v. Collapsed Peering
The advantage of a collapsed peering architecture is that one-element
solves all peering issues. Disadvantage examples of this architecture
are single point failure, bottle neck, and complex scalability.
In a decomposed model, SF and MF are implemented in separate peering
logical elements. Signaling functions are implemented in a proxy and
media functions are implemented in another logical element. The
scaling of signaling versus scaling of media may differ between
applications. Decomposing allows each to follow a separate migration
path.
This model allows the implementation of M:N model where one SF is
associated with multiple peering MF and one peering MF is associated
with multiple peering proxies. Generally, a vertical protocol
associates the relationship between a SF and a MF. This architecture
reduces the potential of single point failure. This architecture,
allows separation of the policy decision point and the policy
enforcement point. An example of disadvantages is the scaling
complexity because of the M:N relationship and latency due to the
vertical control messages between entities.

7. Address space considerations
Peering must occur in a common address space, which is defined by the
federation, which may be entirely on the public Internet, or some
private address space. The origination or termination networks may or
may not entirely be in that same address space. If they are not,
then a translation (NAT) may be needed before the signaling or media
is presented to the federation. The only requirement is that all
entities across the peering interface are reachable.
8. Security Considerations
In all cases, cryptographic-based security should be maintained as an
optional requirement between peering providers conditioned on the
presence or absence of underlying physical security of peer
connections, e.g. within the same secure physical building.
In order to maintain a consistent approach, unique and specialized
security requirements common for the majority of peering
relationships, should be standardized within the IETF. These
standardized methods may enable capabilities such as dynamic peering
relationships across publicly maintained interconnections.
TODO: Address RFC-3552 BCP items.
9. IANA Considerations
There are no IANA considerations at this time.
