  1. SIPPING WG Meeting IETF-55 Request History Capability – Requirements & Solution draft-ietf-sipping-req-history-00.txt draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00.txt Mary Barnes (mbarnes@nortelnetworks.com)

  2. Changes from individual –02 to WG –00 (Requirements) • Added a specific Requirement to address Optionality. • Removed a Security Requirement which stated that MUST be able to to determine whether a previously added Request History content has been removed, as this wouldn’t be possible given the privacy requirements and local policy implications. • Removed solution oriented text. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  3. Solution draft • Defines History-Info Header • Captures “retarget” information. • Calling party is able to be notified of “retargetting” information. • Captures the new URI • Addresses security and privacy aspects associated with the information. • Defines HistInfo option • For the UAC to indicate History-Info in responses • Specified in the Supported header draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  4. Solution draft – History-Info – Current ABNF History-Info = ("History-Info" / "h") HCOLON HI-retargeted-from-uri HI-retargeted-to-uri *( SEMI HI-param ) HI-retargeted-from-uri = name-addr HI-retargeted-to-uri= name-addr HI-param = HI-reason / HI-reason-cause / HI-reason-text / HI-extension HI-reason = "HI-reason" EQUAL HI-reason-protocol HI-reason-protocol = "SIP" / "Q.850" / token HI-reason-cause = "cause" EQUAL 1*DIGIT HI-reason-text = "text" EQUAL quoted-string HI-extension = generic-param draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  5. Solution draft – History-Info - ABNF Issues 2. Replicates (rather than reuses) Reason Header. • Proposal that Reason header can be used and included as part of the captured retargeted URI. • Current ABNF results in duplication of header field for multiple entries. • Should be modified to comma delimit multiple entries. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  6. Solution draft – History-Info - ABNF Issues • Proposal that by capturing the URI prior to retargeting (I.e. “targeted-to”) • Potential Issues: • Might have gaps for instances where HI isn’t being captured (due to local policy). • Needs further consideration and discussion on list. 3. Do we need both Retargeted-to and Retargeted-from URIs? • Retargeted-to is needed to capture information for responses (for last instance where there is no retargeting). draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  7. Solution draft – History-Info - ABNF Issues b. Allow duplicate counts, letting the index indicate the depth. A combination of the captured URIs and counts can be used to “recreate” forking tree at application needing that level of info • Issue:Will this work with only a single URI being captured? • Should we have an explicit counter? • Plain counter won’t work due to forking. • Options include: a. Indexing using a dot delimiter (to reflect depth of forking, etc.) • Issues would include, how do you limit depth and seems complex. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  8. B is serial forking first to C then to D. C is parallel forking. Solution draft – History-Info – Index Option a A  B  C  E       |         \  F       |        \ D  G • History-Info: X, Y indicates a retarget record from X (old URI) to Y (new URI). • A sends INVITE targeted to B • B retargets to C. History-Info: B, C, n=1 is sent in INVITE and response to A • 3) C parallel forks to E and F. • HI: C, E, n=1.1 sent in INVITE to E and response to B,A • HI: C, F, n=1.2 sent in INVITE to F and response to B,A • 4) both branches of fork to C fail. B retargets to D with the following History Info entries: • HI: B, C, n=1 HI: C, E, n=1.1 HI: C, F, n=1.2 HI: C, D, n=2 draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  9. B is serial forking first to C then to D. C is parallel forking. Solution draft – History-Info – Index Option b A  B  C  E       |         \  F       |        \ D  G • History-Info: X, Y indicates a retarget record from X (old URI) to Y (new URI). • A sends INVITE targeted to B • B retargets to C. History-Info: B, C, n=1 is sent in INVITE and response to A • 3) C parallel forks to E and F. • HI: C, E, n=2sent in INVITE to E and response to B,A • HI: C, F, n=2 sent in INVITE to F and response to B,A • 4) both branches of fork to C fail. B retargets to D with the following History Info entries: • HI: B, C, n=1 HI: C, E, n=2 HI: C, F, n=2 HI: C, D, n=3 draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  10. Solution draft – Issues/concerns - Forking • Concerns • Need to work through more scenarios. • Need to add more detail/recommendations with regards to processing for specific classes of responses. • It is likely that for some scenarios all the information won’t be captured, but this may not be a problem. • Propose to add more detail to section 2.3.3. • Have some basic scenarios using sequential forking. • Assumption that it would also be controlled by local policy as to whether parallel Forking is captured. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  11. Solution draft – Issues/concerns - Privacy • Issues/Concerns • The application wanting to make use of the information MUST describe the impact of privacy. • Depends upon how the privacy is implemented (i.e. Session, Header and/or Proxy-require with “privacy” tag). • Proposal assumes the use of a Privacy Service as defined in the draft-ietf-sip-privacy-general. • The application wanting to make use of the information MUST describe the impact of privacy. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  12. Solution draft – Issues/concerns - Privacy • Propose to go with Option 2, but welcome further discussion on the list around these issues/options. • Options: • Just don’t capture Request URIs. • Pros: Simple implementation for HI. • Cons: Could potentially limit applicability/use of HI. • Define basic guidelines for HI interactions with Privacy Service, that would allow some applications to make use of information in requests which have associated Privacy. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  13. Solution draft – Issues/concerns - Security • Primary security concern is with regards to a rogue application/proxy changing HI entries. • Proposal assumes the use of a Security Service/Authenticated identities as defined in the draft-peterson-sip-identity to protect the identities captured in the HI. • Concerns • Would likely require entities which are capturing HI to re-sign the entirety of the HI entries to ensure that order is maintained. • Is that a problem? • Other Options: • Open to suggestions. Proposal: • Complete the security protocol details in the draft. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  14. Questions for SIPPING WG on Requirements draft? • Is the Requirements document ready for WGLC? • If NOT, what are the issues or concerns with the requirements as specified? draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  15. Questions/discussion for SIPPING WG on Solution draft? • Is the scope of the security solution accurate? • If NOT, what are the issues or concerns? • Proposal going forward: • Update draft for the concerns discussed with further detail for security and privacy aspects. • Complete the additional details/annotations to the flows in the Appendix. • Request additional feedback on the draft on the mailing list. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  16. Backup - Examples draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  17. Summary of proposed requirements: • Record old URI in request when ‘retargetting’ (changing of Request-URI) occurs. • Record new URI to maintain ‘history’ for retargetting. • Inform UAC when retargetting occurs • Provide reason for retargetting. • Chronological ordering of the information to allow the capture of each occurrence of retargetting. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  18. 1 5 UA1 Proxy1 Proxy2 6 4 8 7 2 3 UA2 UA3 UA4 UA5 Example 1: • UA 1 sends a call to proxy 1 which sequentially tries several places before retargetting the call to a second proxy which unfortunately tries many of the same places. Use of Request History optimizes sequential forking for terminations draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00

  19. Example 2: • UA 1 called UA A which had been forwarded to UA B which forwarded to a UA VM (voicemail server) which needs information (e.g. reason the call was retargetted) to make a policy decision about what mailbox to use, which greeting to play etc. 1 (INV) 6 (INV) UA 1 Proxy UA VM 3 (INV) 4 (302) 5 (INV) UA A UA B Use of Request History enables the Voicemail Service. draft-ietf-sipping-request-history-00 draft-barnes-sipping-history-info-00
