Hi,

Does anyone know the SIP equivalent to the H.323/H.225 Address Confirmation
(ACF) and Admission Request (ARQ) messages?

Thanks,
Barb

Barbara,

SIP does not have the concept of a network-centric "gatekeeper" like H.323,
and thus has no need for such messages.  SIP starts a call with INVITE,
which equates to an H.323 SETUP.

However, some groups are insisting on killing the "simple" SIP protocol by
adding complexity necessary to support PSTN networks and bill for calls.
H.323 has been flamed for this complexity... so why these independent SIP
groups are doing this just isn't rational.

It is important to be aware that there are at least two groups who are
mutilating SIP, in my opinion.  One is pushing SIP BCP ("Best Common
Practices", formerly SIP+) and the other is pushing SIP DCS ("Distributed
Call State").  Neither are completely interoperable and DCS just completely
breaks away from the SIP ideology.

Best Regards,
Paul

ACF is Admission Confirm, not Address Confirm. In any case, the BRQ/ARQ
message sets are not present in SIP, as has been pointed out. As the
media paths and signaling can be completely separate (imagine yahoo
providing SIP services, but media transport is provided by the users
internet service provider), in many (actually, most) cases, the SIP
server will not have sufficient information to usefully perform
admission control for calls based on network capacity. I have argued
that the same is true for a gateekeper. This function is best delegated
to COPS servers, bandwidth brokers, and other devices which provide
cross-application QoS services.

However, a SIP server can perform "admission control" based on policy.
Its quite simple. When the INVITE arrives at a proxy, it can simply
reject the request if the server policy determines that the call is not
allowed to be initiated. Since the SDP in the SIP INVITE conveys codec
information, one might even reject calls based on the total amount of
bandwidth used by all calls initiated through the proxy. This isn't
going to be all that useful for controlling network resource usage, but
it is allowable from a pure policy perspective.

> breaks away from the SIP ideology.

Let's see the bottle as half full. The internal implementations exemplified
by Paul validate SIP in the sense that if anyone wants to build a service
delivery architecture, would chose SIP. I also agree with Paul in the sense,
that all ships will rise with the tide if we develop complete specifications
for global interoperability. The newly formed SIP working group has its work
cut out for this purpose. Please see the attached.

Folks,

My apologies for the broad cross-posting, but I wanted to make sure
folks see this.

As those who attended mmusic in Oslo may recall, there was agreement
that the work of mmusic was becoming too much. In particular, the SIP
related activities were enough to warrant its own group. The mmusic
session devoted some time to deciding on what a new group would look
like. It was agreed that such a group SHOULD NOT focus on pure IP
telephony aspects of SIP, but rather its broadest application. As such,
a new sip working group has been formed. its charter is to fully own
SIP, including its movement to draft, and any extensions which may
arise. It is within the charter that maintaining the generality and
broad application of SIP, and keeping it simple, are primary goals of
the groups activity. Note that the email below is incorrect regarding
the area; the sip working group is within the transport area.

From here on, we would like to use the sip mailing list
(sip@lists.research.bell-labs.com) for SIP related discussion. mmusic is
still active, and is going to continue work on sap, sdp, rtsp, and those
non-SIP things. As such, please use the mmusic list (confctrl@isi.edu)
for discussion of those issues.

Hello,

Leaning over the gateway location issue, I'd like to ask you about 
the different solutions being worked out. As far as I found papers on the
topic,
I'm aware of GLP and T-BGP.

Are these two protocols the only actors for ITGL ?

I also found little documentation about BMA. Is BMA still a likely solution
?

Does ITGL still make any sense in a MeGaCo/SIP environment where
SIP users/servers could take advantage of the call agent (or MGC) to find
their
way to the appropriate GSTN gateway ?

Thank you for your feedback !

Have a nice day,

Alain

We're finishing up merging these proposals into a single solution,
called TRIP (telephony routing over ip). Draft should be out real soon
now..

No. BMA (BMA = Brokered Multicast Advertisements) was solving a similar
problem but with a much different set of assumptions. The idea there was
an open market for gateways, without any notion of inter-provider
relationships. It also relies on wide area multicast, which is
non-existent now.

It certainly makes sense there. In the megaco/sip model, the originating
MGC needs to figure out the address of a SIP server to forward the calls
to, so they can eventually terminate on an MGC that controls a gateway
which can terminate a call. As a result, TRIP (formerly known as GLP) is
very appropriate to use between SIP servers and MGC's, which are
referred to as "Location Servers" or LS's in the TRIP framework. Of
course, this need only arises when you assume there is more than one MGC
and/or more than one provider handling a call.

Hello,

Let me preface by saying that I really like the idea of enabling
users/sysadmins the ability to dynamically configure
their calling options.  CPL appears to be one way to
empower those users/sysadmins.

I have a few newbie questions on the draft of CPL:

1) In section 5.2 Redirect:
    "Redirect causes the server to direct the calling party to attempt
      to place its call to the currently specified set of locations.
      This immediately terminates execution of the CPL script,
      so this node has no outputs.  This node also has no arguments
       other than the standard Link ID target (see Section 7)"

     a) Can/should these redirects be forked in parallel or
         sequentially?
     b) Does it matter?
     c) If so, how should the preference be specified in the CPL script?

2) In section 6.2 Log:
    Is the "name" field of the Log node referring to:
        i) the name of a log file on the local server.
        ii) a specific entry to log into a log file on the local server

3) Regarding section 6.2 Log:
    Assuming that the "name" field implies the name of the log file:
    a) What syntax should be used to indicate that the server should log

        to a remote (event logging) server?
    b) To address remote logging, should:
          i) a separate field be introduced to indicate the name of
             the remote logging server.  (I assume the absence of
             this field would imply the local server be used as
             default)
                                   OR
          ii) should the name be used as a url to indicate the remote
              pathname of the event logging server?
                                   OR
              eg. my.remote.logging.server.com/log_directory/logFile.log

          iii) I shutup and go away because remote logging is not
                currently going to be addressed.    :)
                                   OR
          iv) other ideas?

4) How do I indicate to turn off the logging?
    (This question applies whether logging occurs locally or remotely)
    i) Reload another script which does NOT including a Log node.
    ii) other ideas?

5) Is there a more recent version of the draft that is available?

6) Although not particularly useful, I like example 8.3   :)

7) Regarding section 9 Security Considerations:
    Although CPL is designed to prevent loops within a single node,
    there still appears to be a danger of loops if a user can install
    scripts on two or more nodes.  I can imagine a mischevious user
    (Malory) installing two (or more) scripts that result in an
    email-bomb (or other annoyance) to a third party.

    It is my understanding that this should not be a problem when
    using SIP due to the VIA header checking
    (which prevents such looping).
    However, I don't believe H.323 does any such checking...

    Let me give the above example a try:

    Script installed on crl-enabled-serverA:
    ------------------------------
    <?xml version="1.0" >?
    <!DOCTYPE call SYSTEM "cpl.dtd">
    < call>
        <notify url="mailto:chump@example.com"
                      comment="ping">

        <location url="h323:Malory@crl-enabled-serverB.telco.com">
            <redirect />
        < /location>
    </call>

    Script installed on crl-enabled-serverB:
    ------------------------------
    <?xml version="1.0" >?
    <!DOCTYPE call SYSTEM "cpl.dtd">
    <call>
        <notify url="mailto:chump@example.com"
                          comment="pong">

        <location url="h323:Malory@crl-enabled-serverA.telco.com">
              <redirect />
        < /location>
    </call>

    In the above code, I guess <redirect /> could also be
    replaced with <proxy />.

    It's not apparent to me how to fix such a problem without
    making the CPL language useless.

    * Questions/comments/criticisms of coding errors?

8) Here's the list of things I've gleaned from the draft
    that the CPL script Verifier should check when a
    script is loaded on a server:
    0) Verify XML syntax.
    1) Verify support for all variables.            [Section 3]
    2) Verify support for all comparators.       [Section 3.1]
    3) Verify support for all basic locations.   [Section 4.1]
    4) Verify existance of all mandatory syntax requirements.
        (i.e. Verify presence of all mandatory fields.)
    5) Verify all "links" are local                     [Section 7]
         (i.e. Verify all links are in the same script.)
    6) Verify there are no (local) cycles created by links.
        (i.e. For all links, verify no links are to parents.)
        [Section 7]

    * What did I get wrong or am missing?

9) Is COPS the (perhaps unofficially) recommended means of
    transferring CPL scripts?

    What other mechanism would you suggest?

Cheers!

Bryan

Hi,

I had a question about Location Servers (as specified in the GLP docs).
When a LS is queried for a destination telephone number that it does not
know of, should it return an error code, or can there be the notion of a
default next hop signaling server? Is this completely left to the
discretion of the domain admin?

Thanks,
Samanvitha

This all has nothing to do with GLP (now TRIP). TRIP distributes the
information that allows the LS to build a database of telephony routes.
How it is queried for this information, and how it responds when it
doesn't have proper information, is not part of TRIP. As the framework
document describes, this is part of the "front end", for which there are
many possibilities.

Thanks!  I'm glad there's growing interest in the CPL.

My model was a SIP-style 3xx-class response (probably 302) with a list of
Contact: addresses.  What the caller (or upstream node) does with the 3xx is
up to it -- parallel, sequential, overlapping, whatever.  If you need firmer
control of the behavior, you have to do it yourself, with <proxy> nodes.

Does H.323 have a similar concept?

Well, I don't want to require any specific model of filesystems or whatever
for the CPL server.  As it's currently implemented, it certainly *could* be
a filename; but it could just as easily be a syslog tag, or whatever.  The
name is just intended to be a way of discriminating various different
logging streams, and what the CPL server does with the names is an
implementation decision.

Thus (regarding your point 3) I didn't want to get into the issue of remote
vs. local logfiles, though I suppose a particular server could locally
define some remote vs. local syntax.

Do people think that the CPL should specify this stuff?

Add a new script, yes -- they're intended to be quite dynamic.  Or have some
out-of-band means.

Not yet.  Soon, hopefully.

This is true, but it's not specific to CPL -- it can occur with any service
deployment mechanism unless the protocol has some way of checking it.  Even
if we were somehow to kludge some support into CPL to fix it (which I don't
see how is possible), other service deployment mechanisms (including calling
up your service provider and saying "Hi, can you forward all my calls to
h323:Malory@serverB.telco.com?") is going to have the same problem.

This seems right; for the next draft I should add an appendix listing all
these.  The only constraint I would have is that the rules for validating
acyclicity are a bit trickier than you've described -- basically "direct"
arrows and "link" arrows need to be treated identically when walking the
tree checking for cycles.

It could certainly be one method.  I'm not too familiar with COPS, but if
you want to write something up I'd be glad to look over it.

>     What other mechanism would you suggest?

I wrote draft-ietf-iptel-sip-reg-payload-00, which shouldn't have expired
yet; if it has, it's available from my web page
<http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~lennox/>.

My interpretation of this question was different. I read it as follows:

proxy A, executing a CPL, forwards a request to B, also running a CPL. B
redirects to three addresses. These are received at A. Does A recurse on
these? If so, is this done in parallel or sequentially?

If this is indeed the question (and it is a good one), I don't believe
the current CPL draft addresses this. I would argue that, at most, we
might specify an attribute of the proxy tag, called recurse, so that:

<proxy recurse="yes">

would cause recursion. Absence of this attribute, or the value "no",
would disable recursion. We could also specify parallel or sequential,
so that we have another attribute:

<proxy search="parallel">

I think both are reasonable, and fairly simple.

To support interoperability, though, we do need to say something about
this. Otherwise, a user can put name="log3" in the CPL, but the server
only allows name="syslog". I believe the spec should say that the name
is nothing more than a unique identifier, and that servers should pretty
much allow anything here, and not associate any semantic with it. It
need not be the name of the file. The filename itself on the server
might be composed of the user name and the log name, so that the log
name need be unique only within the log names used by the user.

I also interpret this question differently. The question, to me, implies
that Bryan viewed the logging as a continuous operation, not a discrete
event. If it were a continuous operation, it would need to be turned on
and off in some way. As a discrete event (which I believe it is), a
single log entry is generated every time the log action is encountered
in the CPL execution. This model for logging does raise some interesting
questions:

1. lets say the log action is specified after a proxy action. In this
case, is the response to the proxied request logged? In general, are the
log contents dependent on where in the CPL the log action appears?

2. What happens if multiple log actions are taken within the execution
of a script?

I think COPS is targeted mainly at QoS related policy. I haven't heard
anyone suggest its usage yet for CPL. The protocols that have been
discussed are SIP REGISTERs (see Jonathan L's draft below), http, and
ftp.

Folks,

I've just submitted an updated TRIP (ex-GLP) framework document. There
is no change except for replacing GLP with TRIP. As soon as this
appears, it will go to IESG again as informational. If you are
interested, you can take a look at the updated version at:
http://www.bell-labs.com/mailing-lists/iptel/draft-ietf-iptel-gwloc-framework-05.txt

We will hopefully have an actual GLP protocol document before the
deadline as well.

Thanks,
Jonathan R.

There will be an interim meeting of the SIP Working Group on Sunday,
November 7 1999 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. This is the day before the fall
IETF meeting in DC. If we wrap early there may be some snacks left at the
Sunday social.

We currently plan to meet in the Olympia room of the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
This is the hotel hosting the IETF meeting for the remainder of the week.
The agenda people claim the room will support upwards of 100 attendees.

The purpose of the interim meeting is to familiarize the SIP working group
with the PacketCable DCS specification efforts, which also use SIP. The goal
is to promote the completeness and interoperability of the SIP
specification.

The current agenda is:

10:00 to 11:15: DCS presentation
11:15 to 11:30: Break
11:30 to 12:45: DCS presentation
12:45 to 14:15: Lunch (not provide, brown bag or go out)
14:15 to 15:30: DCS presentation
15:30 to 15:45: Break
15:45 to 17:00; Discussion
17:00 to 17:15: Break
17:15 to 19:00: Discussion (refreshments smuggled from social room?)

During the DCS presentations, we hope to focus on the design rationale of
the PacketCable DCS aproach rather than on exploring alernatives. In other
words, questions should be confined to "what" and "why" rather than "why
not". The moderator will be ruthless -- there's a lot of material to cover.
Please hold on discussion of alternatives until the "Discussion" periods.
Thanks.

I'm personally planning to arrive in DC on Saturday. Others may be able to
travel early on Sunday. I think this meeting provides a tremendous
opportunity to move the entire industy forward. I hope to see you all there!

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: A Framework for Telephony Routing over IP	 
        Author(s)	: J. Rosenberg, H. Schulzrinne
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-gwloc-framework-05.txt
	Pages		: 24
	Date		: 21-Oct-99
	
This document serves as a framework for Telephony Routing over IP
(TRIP), which supports the discovery and exchange of IP telephony
gateway routing tables between providers. The document defines the
problem of telephony routing exchange, and motivates the need for the
protocol. It presents an architectural framework for TRIP, defines
terminology, specifies the various protocol elements and their
functions, overviews the services provided by the protocol, and
discusses how it fits into the broader context of Internet telephony.

Subject:	Newbie questions on CPL

Hello,

Let me preface by saying that I really like the idea of enabling
users/sysadmins the ability to dynamically configure
their calling options.  CPL appears to be one way to
empower those users/sysadmins.

I have a few newbie questions on the draft of CPL:

1) In section 5.2 Redirect:
    "Redirect causes the server to direct the calling party to attempt
      to place its call to the currently specified set of locations.
      This immediately terminates execution of the CPL script,
      so this node has no outputs.  This node also has no arguments
       other than the standard Link ID target (see Section 7)"

     a) Can/should these redirects be forked in parallel or
         sequentially?
     b) Does it matter?
     c) If so, how should the preference be specified in the CPL script?

2) In section 6.2 Log:
    Is the "name" field of the Log node referring to:
        i) the name of a log file on the local server.
        ii) a specific entry to log into a log file on the local server

3) Regarding section 6.2 Log:
    Assuming that the "name" field implies the name of the log file:
    a) What syntax should be used to indicate that the server should log

        to a remote (event logging) server?
    b) To address remote logging, should:
          i) a separate field be introduced to indicate the name of
             the remote logging server.  (I assume the absence of
             this field would imply the local server be used as
             default)
                                   OR
          ii) should the name be used as a url to indicate the remote
              pathname of the event logging server?
                                   OR
              eg. my.remote.logging.server.com/log_directory/logFile.log

          iii) I shutup and go away because remote logging is not
                currently going to be addressed.    :)
                                   OR
          iv) other ideas?

4) How do I indicate to turn off the logging?
    (This question applies whether logging occurs locally or remotely)
    i) Reload another script which does NOT including a Log node.
    ii) other ideas?

5) Is there a more recent version of the draft that is available?

6) Although not particularly useful, I like example 8.3   :)

7) Regarding section 9 Security Considerations:
    Although CPL is designed to prevent loops within a single node,
    there still appears to be a danger of loops if a user can install
    scripts on two or more nodes.  I can imagine a mischevious user
    (Malory) installing two (or more) scripts that result in an
    email-bomb (or other annoyance) to a third party.

    It is my understanding that this should not be a problem when
    using SIP due to the VIA header checking
    (which prevents such looping).
    However, I don't believe H.323 does any such checking...

    Let me give the above example a try:

    Script installed on crl-enabled-serverA:
    ------------------------------
    <?xml version="1.0" >?
    <!DOCTYPE call SYSTEM "cpl.dtd">
    < call>
        <notify url="mailto:chump@example.com"
                      comment="ping">

        <location url="h323:Malory@crl-enabled-serverB.telco.com">
            <redirect />
        < /location>
    </call>

    Script installed on crl-enabled-serverB:
    ------------------------------
    <?xml version="1.0" >?
    <!DOCTYPE call SYSTEM "cpl.dtd">
    <call>
        <notify url="mailto:chump@example.com"
                          comment="pong">

        <location url="h323:Malory@crl-enabled-serverA.telco.com">
              <redirect />
        < /location>
    </call>

    In the above code, I guess <redirect /> could also be
    replaced with <proxy />.

    It's not apparent to me how to fix such a problem without
    making the CPL language useless.

    * Questions/comments/criticisms of coding errors?

8) Here's the list of things I've gleaned from the draft
    that the CPL script Verifier should check when a
    script is loaded on a server:
    0) Verify XML syntax.
    1) Verify support for all variables.            [Section 3]
    2) Verify support for all comparators.       [Section 3.1]
    3) Verify support for all basic locations.   [Section 4.1]
    4) Verify existance of all mandatory syntax requirements.
        (i.e. Verify presence of all mandatory fields.)
    5) Verify all "links" are local                     [Section 7]
         (i.e. Verify all links are in the same script.)
    6) Verify there are no (local) cycles created by links.
        (i.e. For all links, verify no links are to parents.)
        [Section 7]

    * What did I get wrong or am missing?

9) Is COPS the (perhaps unofficially) recommended means of
    transferring CPL scripts?

    What other mechanism would you suggest?

Cheers!

Bryan

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Telephony Routing Information Protocol (TRIP)
	Author(s)	: J. Rosenberg,  H. Salama, M. Squire
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-trip-00.txt
	Pages		: 63

This document presents the Telephony Routing Information Protocol
(TRIP).  TRIP is a policy driven inter-administrative domain
protocol for advertising the reachability of telephony destinations
between location servers, and for advertising attributes of the
routes to those destinations.  TRIP's operation is independent of
any signaling protocol, hence TRIP can serve as the telephony
routing protocol for any signaling protocol.
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) is used to distribute routing
information between administrative domains. TRIP is used to
distribute telephony routing information between telephony
administrative domains. The similarity between the two protocols is
obvious, and hence TRIP is modeled after BGP-4.

Some comments 

1. 
I fear people (like me :) ) might get confused with TRIP and GLP
relationship.

draft-ietf-iptel-gwloc-framework-05.txt has replaced in its text all "GLP"
by "TRIP".

But in this draft, TRIP is defined as an instance of GLP (as defined in 
draft-ietf-iptel-gwloc-framework-03).

I think it will be useful to harmonise inter-draft terms asap.





2. To my understanding, TRIP was meant to merge GLP and TBGP approaches in a
single protocol.

However, according to draft-ietf-iptel-glp-tbgp-01.txt :
"The primary function of a TBGP speaker in administrative domain A is 
to advertise to TBGP speakers in other administrative domains reachability 
information of:
        - PSTN destinations (black phones) via gateways in domain A,
        - IP destinations (e.g., H.323 terminals or SIP terminals) in
          domain A."

So it seems to me that TBGP is also covering location of IP destinations as
opposed to TRIP.

Is this difference still making TRIP and TBGP separate protocols ?


3.

A insignificant correction...

"3. Introduction
   The gateway location and call routing problem has been introduced in
   [1]. It is considered one of the most difficult problems in IP
telephony. "
                                    ^^^^


Have a nice day,

-03 is an old draft. The relationship is simple. GLP was the name of the
protocol we were chartered to define. Its now called TRIP. TBGP was a
proposal for GLP/TRIP. TBGP, and the other proposal, based on SCSP, have
been merged, and submitted as a draft. This protocol will be called
TRIP.

There is no need to harmonize terms across drafts. Drafts evolve and
change all the time. Here, we changed the name of the protocol.

TRIP combines aspects of the TBGP proposal and the SCSP-based proposal
(which was also called GLP).

Matt, Hussein, and I came to consensus that in the merged protocol,
TRIP, we would not support IP address propagation to reach H.323
terminals or SIP UAs. This is because these devices are end systems;
determining an IP address for them is a name to address translation
problem, and is best handled by directories like DNS (see the recently
resurrected enum group). However, a gateway is an intermediary point,
and its IP address is actually one hop of a route towards the end system
(here, a phone). In this case, what we are after is a name to route
translation, and that is much different. We have had numerous
discussions on this subject on the list.

I should note, however, that we have made TRIP fairly flexible in
address formats. All routes are represented as a tuple of {address
family, address length, address} , although we only define E.164 as an
address family.

This group will produce one, and only one protocol, called TRIP.

Any of the protocols discussed in this group have mapped E164 prefixes to
IP addresses via next-hop semantics.  Any of them can be used for 'host'
routes, which in this case, may be likely H323 or SIP terminals.
Including a large number of host routes is of course detrimental to
scalability in any protocol.  This perceived difference is no difference at
all.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Telephony Routing Information Protocol (TRIP)
	Author(s)	: J. Rosenberg,  H. Salama, M. Squire
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-trip-00.txt
	Pages		: 63
	Date		: 22-Oct-99
	
This document presents the Telephony Routing Information Protocol
(TRIP).  TRIP is a policy driven inter-administrative domain
protocol for advertising the reachability of telephony destinations
between location servers, and for advertising attributes of the
routes to those destinations.  TRIP's operation is independent of
any signaling protocol, hence TRIP can serve as the telephony
routing protocol for any signaling protocol.
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) is used to distribute routing
information between administrative domains. TRIP is used to
distribute telephony routing information between telephony
administrative domains. The similarity between the two protocols is
obvious, and hence TRIP is modeled after BGP-4.

	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Telephony Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Call Processing Language Framework and Requirements
	Author(s)	: J. Lennox, H. Schulzrinne
	Filename	: draft-ietf-iptel-cpl-framework-01.txt
	Pages		: 24
	Date		: 28-Oct-99
	
A large number of the services we wish to make possible for Internet
telephony require fairly elaborate combinations of signalling
operations, often in network devices, to complete. We want a simple
and standardized way to create such services to make them easier to
implement and deploy.  This document describes an architectural
framework for such a mechanism, which we call a call processing
language. It also outlines requirements for such a language.
