Session Initiation Protocol Service Examples

Status of This Memo

This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

This document gives examples of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) services. This covers most features offered in so-called IP Centrex offerings from local exchange carriers and PBX (Private Branch Exchange) features. Most of the services shown in this document are implemented in the SIP user agents, although some require the assistance of a SIP proxy. Some require some extensions to SIP including the REFER, SUBSCRIBE, and NOTIFY methods and the Replaces and Join header fields. These features are not intended to be an exhaustive set, but rather show implementations of common features likely to be implemented on SIP IP telephones in a business environment.

RFC 5359                  SIP Service Examples              October 2008
1.  Overview

This document provides example call flows detailing a SIP implementation of the following traditional telephony services:

Call Hold 3-Way Conference Consultation Hold Find-Me Music on Hold Incoming Call Screening Unattended Transfer Outgoing Call Screening Attended Transfer Call Park Instant Messaging Transfer Call Pickup
           Unconditional Call Forwarding    Automatic Redial
           Call Forwarding on Busy          Click to Dial
           Call Forwarding on No Answer

Note that the Single Line Extension call flow has been removed from this document and will be covered in a separate document.

The call flows shown in this document were developed in the design of a SIP IP communications network. They represent an example set of so-called IP Centrex services or PBX services.

It is the hope of the authors that this document will be useful for SIP implementers, designers, and protocol researchers alike and will help further the goal of a standard implementation of RFC 3261 [RFC3261] and some of its extensions.

These flows represent carefully checked and working group reviewed scenarios of SIP service examples as a companion to the specifications.

These call flows are based on the current version 2.0 of SIP in RFC 3261 [RFC3261] with Session Description Protocol (SDP) usage described in RFC 3264 [RFC3264]. Other RFCs also form part of the SIP standard and are used and referenced in these call flows.

The SIP specification and the other referenced documents are definitive as far as protocol issues are concerned. Also, these flows do not represent the only way to implement these services -- other approaches such as 3pcc (Third Party Call Control) [RFC3725] or Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs) can be used. This specification does not preclude these or other approaches for implementing such services. The peer-to-peer design and principles of these service examples are described in the Multiparty Framework document [FRAMEWORK]. These flows assume the functionality described in the SIP Call Flow Examples document [RFC3665], which explores basic SIP behavior. Some of the scenarios described herein make use of the SIP method extension REFER [RFC3515], the SIP header extension Replaces [RFC3891], and the SIP header extension Join [RFC3911]. The SIP Events document [RFC3265] describes the use of SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY, while the SIP Dialog Event Package document [RFC4235] describes the dialog event package. Some examples make use of the GRUU (Globally Routable User Agent URI) extension [GRUU].

RFC 5359                  SIP Service Examples              October 2008

These flows were prepared assuming a network of proxies, registrars, and other SIP servers. The use of Secure SIP URIs (sips) is shown throughout this document, implying TLS transport on each hop with assumed certificate validation. However, other security approaches can be used. The use of Digest authentication is shown in some examples.

The emphasis in these call flows is the SIP signaling exchange. As a result, only very simple SDP offer/answer exchanges are shown with audio media. These flows apply equally well for other media and multimedia sessions. For more advanced examples of SDP offer/answer exchanges, refer to [RFC4317].

Each call flow is presented with a textual description of the scenario, a message flow diagram showing the messages exchanged between separate network elements, and the detailed contents of each message shown in the diagram.

For simplicity in reading and editing the document, there are a number of differences between some of the examples and actual SIP messages. For example, the HTTP Digest responses are not actual MD5 encodings. Call-IDs are often repeated, and CSeq counts often begin at 1. Header fields are usually shown in the same order. Usually only the minimum required header field set is shown. Also, message body content lengths are often not calculated, but instead shown as "..." where the actual octet count would be.
1.1.  Legend for Message Flows

   Dashed lines (---) represent control messages that are mandatory to
   the call scenario.  These control messages can be SIP signaling.

Double dashed lines (===) represent media paths between network elements.

Messages with parentheses around the name represent optional control messages. Messages are identified in the figures as F1, F2, etc. This references the message details in the table that follows the figure.

Lines longer than 72 characters are handled using the <allOneLine> convention defined in Section 2.1 of RFC 4475 [RFC4475].

Comments in the message details are shown in the following form:

RFC 5359                  SIP Service Examples              October 2008


In this scenario, Alice calls Bob, then Bob places the call on hold. Bob then takes the call off hold, then Alice hangs up the call. Note that hold is unidirectional in nature. However, a UA that places the other party on hold will generally also stop sending media, resulting in no media exchange between the UAs. Older UAs may set the connection address to 0.0.0.0 when initiating hold. However, this behavior has been deprecated in favor or using the a=inactive SDP attribute if no media is sent, or the a=sendonly attribute if media is still sent.

Also note the use of the rendering feature tag defined in RFC 4235 [RFC4235] used in F10 and F11 to indicate that Bob's UA is no longer rendering media to Bob, i.e., that Bob has placed the call on hold.

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob. Bob places call on hold. Bob calls Carol. Bob then disconnects with Carol, then takes the call with Alice off hold. The call ends when Alice hangs up.

Also note the use of the rendering feature tag defined in RFC 4235 [RFC4235] used in F10 to indicate that Bob's UA is no longer rendering media to Bob, i.e., that Bob has placed the call on hold.

In this flow, Bob places Alice on hold with music. This is performed by Bob sending a REFER to a Music Server that sends an INVITE with Replaces to Alice. The Music Server then sends RTP music to Alice. Bob picks the call up from hold by sending an INVITE with Replaces to Alice.

Note the use of the rendering feature tag defined in RFC 4235 [RFC4235] used in F5 to indicate that Bob's UA is no longer rendering media to Bob, i.e., that Bob has placed the call on hold. Feature tags are also used in F12 with the automaton (defined in RFC 3840 [RFC3840]) and byeless feature tags (defined in RFC 4235 [RFC4235]) to describe the capabilities of the Music Server.

Should Alice not wish to receive music on hold, her UA could refuse F12 and she will remain on hold with Bob, but in silence.

RFC 5359                  SIP Service Examples              October 2008
In this scenario, Bob calls Alice. Alice then transfers Bob to Carol, then Alice disconnects with Bob. Bob establishes the session to Carol then reports the success back to Alice in the NOTIFY in F15. If the transfer fails, Bob can send a new INVITE back to Alice to re- establish the session.

Despite the BYE sent by Alice in F9, the dialog between Alice and Bob still exists until the subscription created by the REFER has terminated (either due to a NOTIFY containing a Subscription-State: terminated;reason=noresource header field, as in F15, or a 481 response to a NOTIFY).

For more about call transfer, see the transfer document [TRANSFER].

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob. Bob puts Alice on hold then calls Carol to announce transfer, then places Carol on hold. Bob transfers Alice to Carol, which replaces the session between Bob and Carol. Carol then disconnects session with Bob. Alice reports success of transfer to Bob, who then disconnects with Alice. In this example, the Replaces header field [RFC3891] is inserted into the Refer-To URI by Bob. Note that the Refer-To URI is the Contact URI returned by Carol in the 200 OK response F10. This ensures that only the correct instance of Carol is reached. The presence of the gr URI parameter in the Contact URI in message F10 indicates that the Contact URI is a GRUU [GRUU] and will be globally routable outside of the dialog. Without knowing the Contact URI is a gruu, Bob must be prepared, if the triggered INVITE had failed, to retry the REFER with a Refer-To URI of the URI used to reach Carol but with a Require: replaces header escaped in the Refer-To header field, as discussed in the transfer document [TRANSFER].

In this scenario, Alice and Bob establish a session between them. Bob wants Carol to take the call and so sends an Instant Message (IM) to Carol containing Alice's URI and an embedded Replaces header field. If Carol clicks on the URI, Carol's SIP UA sends an INVITE to Alice, which replaces the session with Bob. This scenario shows the use of the SIP MESSAGE [RFC3428] method to pass the URI. However, another IM protocol or other method could have been used to pass the URI from Bob to Carol.

Bob wants all calls forwarded to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) (which is just another URI to the proxy server). Alice calls Bob. The proxy server rewrites the Request URI, and forwards the INVITE to a Gateway. Details of messaging behind the Gateway are not shown.

Note that the 181 Call is Being Forwarded response is shown as sent by the proxy. Strictly speaking, the proxy is behaving as a user agent in this case as a proxy cannot generate non-100 provisional responses.

Note also that forwarding could be accomplished using a redirect (302 Moved Temporarily response). Message Details

In this scenario, Alice and Bob are in a 2-party call (session) when Bob wishes to add Carol into the conversation. Bob is capable of media mixing in a 3-party call. Bob first sends a re-INVITE to Alice, changing Contact URIs to one that indicates Bob's mixer and acts like a focus. As a result, Bob includes the "isfocus" feature tag [RFC3840] as described in [RFC4579]. Bob then INVITEs Carol using the same Contact URI. Note that Bob could wait to re-INVITE Alice until after Carol has answered. Bob could also put Alice on hold before calling Carol.

In this scenario, Alice and Bob are in a 2-party call and Carol wishes to join, resulting in a 3-party call. Carol could have learned Bob's dialog identifier using some non-SIP means, or possibly from a NOTIFY with the dialog package sent by Bob. Carol sends an INVITE to Bob containing a Join header identifying the dialog between Alice and Bob. Bob re-INVITEs Alice to switch to focus mode and includes the "isfocus" feature tag [RFC3840] as described in [RFC4579]. Bob then accepts the INVITE from Carol, resulting in the 3-way call.

Alice's call to Bob will result in an attempt to locate Bob by calling locations from a list of contacts. The location to answer the call becomes the active set; no other sets may join the call.

While this flow shows a sequential search, the search could be accomplished using parallel forking.

Bob has an incoming call screening list; Alice is included on the list of addresses from which Bob will not accept calls. Alice attempts to call Bob. Messages F1, F2, and F3 are included to show that Bob does not accept INVITEs that have not been screened by the proxy.

Note that call screening cannot be done using the From header -- instead some form of authentication credentials must be used. The screening proxy inserts an announcement URI in an Error-Info header field, which Alice accesses by sending an INVITE to listen to the Announcement. The Announcement Server uses the automaton and rendering feature tags in F12 and F13 to indicate that it is a media server only capable of playing announcements.

In this example, Alice calls Bob. Bob then parks the call at the Park Server by sending a REFER to the Park Server. The server sends an INVITE to Alice, which replaces the session between Alice and Bob. The Park Server utilizes the automaton, rendering, and byeless feature tags in F9 to indicate its capabilities to Alice. The call is accepted by Alice and causes Alice to send a BYE to Bob. Bob receives notification of the successful park, and also receives the dialog identifiers in the application/sip body of the NOTIFY response.

Carol wishes to retrieve the call, so she sends an INVITE containing the dialog identifiers to Alice, which replaces the session with the Park Server. Alice accepts the call and sends a BYE to the Park Server. Carol obtains the dialog identifiers from a NOTIFY from the Park Server.

Note that this call flow is a special case of call transfer.

Note also that this flow could also be used for Music on Hold.

Bob and Bill are part of a work group at example.com that can pick up each other's calls. Alice calls Bob, who does not answer. Bill wishes to pick up the call and sends a SUBSCRIBE to Bob to retrieve the dialog information. Bill then generates an INVITE with a Replaces to Alice. Alice answers the INVITE and sends a CANCEL to stop Bob's phone ringing. Note that the relative order of the 487/ACK sequence (F11/F12) and the 200 OK to the CANCEL (F10) is not deterministic. This call flow shows the use of the "early-only" parameter [RFC3891] in the Replaces header field of F7. This parameter prevents Alice from accepting the INVITE if Bob has already accepted the INVITE. If Bill had wished to "take" the call from Bob regardless of whether he had answered, the parameter would not have been present in F7.

Also note that the subscription between Bob and Carol could have been established prior to Alice's call.

In this example, while browsing the web on his PC, Bob clicks on Carol's SIP URI, intending to establish a session with Carol. Bob's web browser passes the SIP URI to the SIP client on Bob's PC. The PC client is configured with the URI of Bob's SIP phone. A REFER is sent to the SIP phone, which results in the establishment of the session between Bob and Carol.

Note that Bob's PC requests that no REFER dialog be established by the use of the Refer-Sub: false header field [RFC4488].

This flow is preferable to the 3pcc flow because the end-to-end SIP signaling is not interrupted by the 3pcc controller, and because Bob's experience of the call will not be marred by the lack of ringback tone or possible clipping. Suitable authorization of the REFER and explicit authorization of the triggered INVITE by Bob are necessary.

3.  Security Considerations

Since many of the examples in this document involve SIP call control, either peer-to-peer or 3pcc, the security considerations in the Multiparty Framework document [FRAMEWORK] apply.

Many of the services shown in this document rely on a particular user agent being part of a group. Members of a group could be, for example, employees within a particular department, a set of home phone extensions, members of a call center, etc. As such, user agents that are part of the group permit other group members special privileges and features. For example, while a user agent may not in general allow another user agent to learn detailed dialog information, this information might be shared with another group member in order to facilitate a service such as call pickup. Group members must be authenticated using normal SIP means such as certificates or shared secrets.

The service examples in this document make extensive use of the SIP call control primitives REFER, Replaces, Join, and the dialog package. The security considerations associated with each of these extensions [RFC3515], [RFC3891], [RFC3911], [RFC4235] apply to the scenarios in this document.
