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 [RFC2119]. This document uses terms from [RFC3966]. 2. Abbreviations IMS IP Multimedia Subsystem ISDN Integrated Service Digital Network ISUP Integrated Services Digital Network User Part PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network SIP Session Initiation Protocol URI Uniform Resource Identifier VoIP Voice over IP 3. Overview In [RFC3455] The P-Charging-Vector Header is defined. This header is used to correlate the charging records generated from diffrent entitis on the path of the call. The normal 3GPP used case covered by this header is a normal call that is originated and terminated within the own network and where originating and an terminating network is diffrent either in roaming cases or interconnection. So the billing and charging matters are normally handled between maximum two networks. But there are also fixed line carries using the IMS for their purposes. The IMS is the replacement for the PSTN/ISND networks from these operators. The buissenes modells are more complex within a multi operator environment. There are local operators that have not the interconnectivity with all operators, therefore transitcarriers are needed. In such cases the billing/charging process is spread over 3 Carriers and more carriers. For such scenarios the knowledge of the transit carrier is needed and should be also stated within the P-Charging- Vetor Header.

Requirements REQ-1: A mechanism is needed to identify the transit carrier within the Charging record. 5. Overall Applicability Statement of the transit-ioi The IOI identifies both the originating and terminating networks involved in a SIP dialog or transaction outside a dialog. There may an IOI generated from each side of the dialog to identify the network associated with each side. This document adds the transit ioi identifier. The transit-ioi is added from the egress SIP proxy, sending the initial request containing a P-Charging-Vector Header. As described in [RFC3455] the P-Charging-Vector header is applicable within a single private administrative domain or between different administrative domains where there is a trust relationship between the domains. The P-Charging-Vector header is not included in a SIP message sent to another network if there is no trust relationship. 6. Example We present example in the context of the scenario presented in the following network diagram: Scenario UA1 --- P1 --- P2 --- P3--- UA2 This example shows the message sequence for an INVITE transaction originating from UA1 eventually arriving at UA2. P1 is an outbound proxy for UA1. In this case P1 also inserts charging information. P1 then routes the call to P2 due to existing interconnection possibilities. P2 routs the call to P3 and P3 terminates the call at Jesske Expires February 10, 2011 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Sevicerouteing August 2010 UA2.

Syntax definition for transit-ioi The Syntax of the P-Charging-Vector header syntax as defined within [RFC3455] shall be exteded with the transit-ioi value. transit-ioi = "transit-ioi" EQUAL gen-value The transit-ioi parameters represent, respectively, the transit interoperator identifier. It is used to correlate charging records between different operators. The transit ioi represents the network responsible for the records in the transit part of the session or standalone request. 8. Security Considerations The same security considerations as described within RFC3455 apply. 9. IANA Considerations Registration of "transit-ioi" parameter for SIP P-Charging-Vector header.
