I submitted a new draft (draft-khan-ip-serv-peer-arch-00.txt) titled "IP
Service (Voice and Multimedia) Peering Architecture" for the SPEERMINT.
This is a first version of the draft. The draft represents my opinion
only; I would adjust the draft as per your comments and suggestions. I
do not know whether I will be able to present the draft in Dallas. The
draft will be posted in IETF before Dallas meeting.

Enclosed please find the draft.

Thank you,

Sohel Khan, Ph.D.
Technology Strategist
Sprint-Nextel

It's finally through:

        Title           : Federations for the Domain Policy DDDS Application
        Author(s)       : O. Lendl
        Filename        : draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00.txt
        Pages           : 7
        Date            : 2006-3-1

This documents defines the policy-type for federations within the
Domain Policy DDDS Application.  Using this policy-type domain-owners
can announce their membership in a federation and thus their
willingness to accept incoming communications according to the rules
of that federation.  Such federations can be used to establish
selective peerings e.g. in the Voice over IP and Instant Messaging
space.

Folks,
=20
I am a bit confused by this draft.
=20

>   the route architectures being used today in SIP based peering

>   environments and to outline a set of requirements based on the same

=20

Is this IMS in stealth mode?

The abstract should clearly state:

=20

The purpose of this draft is to help the IETF community understand IMS =
..

=20

In particular I have problems with the following para:

=20

"The call is originated at calling party "O", (called the
  "Origination" in this document) and terminates at called party "T"
  (called the "Termination" in this document).  T may be a subscriber,
  contact center, E911 operator etc.  The first hop and the last hop of
  the call in Figure 1 pass through SPs providing L5 (in our case SIP)
  access to the origination and termination and are called Access-O and
  Access-T respectively.  In most cases these SPs will also provide the
  physical access to the origination and termination devices.  The
  Access SP function is not optional.  While a separate Access SP may
  not exist, the function may be absorbed by the corresponding Core SP."

A Core SP ALWAYS needs an Access SP if he is not providing the access=20
by itself? In L5?

And then we also have Interconnect SP =3D Transit

What happened to the SIP Trapeziod?

and may I remember on the req draft

"3.6.2.  Layer 5 Peering

   Layer 5 peering refers to interconnection of two service providers
   for the purposes of SIP signaling.  Note that in the layer 5 peering
   case, there is no intervening network.  That is, for purposes of this
   discussion, there is no such thing as a "Layer 5 Transit Network"."

The next problem I have with section

=20

"5.2.  Addressing

   The type of A-O-R for the termination may also affect what kind of
   address location service is used.  Address location is done typically
   based on the following four characteristics of the termination's AOR.
   In each case, we list the most common address location method used.


   1.  Full E.164: ENUM or SP's local policy may be used.
   2.  E.164 prefixes: SPs local policy is generally used.
   3.  Full A-O-R: This is rarely used for routing in a peering
       environment.
   4.  Domain of A-O-R: DNS SRV or SPs local policy may be used."

=20

Within SPEERMINT only Call Routing Data (CRD) are used

E.164 numbers are not CRD, they are also not A-o-R,=20

E.164 numbers are names

so E.164 number is out of scope in SPEERMENT


And IMHO completely off is the idea to introduce
carrier selection within VoIP
=20
" For example Equal Access is
   a LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) requirement and an SP operating as an
   LEC may be required to allow the subscriber his/her choice of IXC
   (IntereXchange Carrier) for certain set of calls.  In essence, these
   requirements may affect route policy for peering where the downstream
   peer is chosen based on origination's policy.  In this case, the
   Core-O and Core-T may be one and the same SP who peer through an
   Interconnect SP of the origination's choice."
=20
I have an headache
=20

Abstract

=20

   The purpose of this document is to help the IETF community understand

   the route architectures being used today in SIP based peering

   environments and to outline a set of requirements based on the same

   for discussion within the community.

Hi Richard,

Sorry about the headache...
Hopefully my answers below will help :)=20
Thanks for the quick read anyway.

The intent of the draft is to describe what is deployed and the
requirements driving that. We can choose to ignore or accept some of
them based on WG discussion.=20

(IMHO - I don't think IMS is deployed anywhere :)

>=20

It says three things: (a) Access SP is mandatory (b) Access SP "may"
provide
physical access (c) Access SP can be absorbed within the Core SP. Maybe
the
language can be improved, but I think we capture the case you are
talking
about - an ASP (Vonage) like scenario!

>=20

SIP Trapezoid is captured, since the Interconnect SP is optional (first
para on pg 4).=20
However, I think there could be a special section devoted to that. Note
that in no way
the draft is supposed to be prescriptive or designed to ignore the
trapezoid. Sorry if it sounds=20

I think maybe the draft needs to clarify that Interconnect SP is not the
same as Transit.
We can try to do this if lot of people feel the same and it really
affects the routing
architecture selection (IMHO - it should not have any effect) in the
end.

I am not sure what I need to fix, but we can address it after WG
discussion.

>=20

Equal Access gives a headache to anyone dealing with VoIP :). I think it
is good to know what some VoIP SPs are dealing with especially when we
are starting discussions in the WG. As the draft says  in the last para
- it is
possible that this may affect only a minor set of deployments in the
end. Time
will tell. Also, Equal Access is simply an example (I can't promise if
there
are not a host of other scenarios out there).

Thanks,
Medhavi.

Hi Medhavi,
=20
I think we should discuss the three topics separate
I will respond to the others tomorrow
(not because of the headache ;-), but it is after midnight here already.
=20
First I consider your draft very useful, particularly the Figure 1,
and also your definitions,
to clarify the scope and also some issues within SPEERMINT
=20
Regarding Access SP, my prime questiion is about your statement:
=20
>It says three things: (a) Access SP is mandatory (b) Access SP "may" =
provide
>physical access (c) Access SP can be absorbed within the Core SP. Maybe =
the
>language can be improved, but I think we capture the case you =
aretalking
>about - an ASP (Vonage) like scenario!

Why is Access SP mandatory and how does it capture the Vonage scenario
We are talking L5 and SIP proxies, or do I misunderstand here something

In IMS there is of course an outbound proxy in the visited (access) =
network,
with Vonage and others there is not.

Could you please clarify
=20
cheers
=20
Richard

I think maybe the draft needs to clarify that Interconnect SP is not the
same as Transit.
We can try to do this if lot of people feel the same and it really
affects the routing
architecture selection (IMHO - it should not have any effect) in the
end.

I am not sure what I need to fix, but we can address it after WG

Equal Access gives a headache to anyone dealing with VoIP :). I think it
is good to know what some VoIP SPs are dealing with especially when we
are starting discussions in the WG. As the draft says  in the last para
- it is
possible that this may affect only a minor set of deployments in the
end. Time
will tell. Also, Equal Access is simply an example (I can't promise if
there
are not a host of other scenarios out there).

Thanks,
Medhavi.

Richard,

I believe this is a bug. I have gone through the section 3 and seems
like para 1 (which states access SPs are optional) offers the correct
position. I will need to fix para 2 (acknowledging I probably confused
myself in the earlier reply). Only the Core SPs are mandatory and in the
ASP model, they need to be necessarily different to be in scope of the
WG I believe.

Cheers,
Medhavi.

Routing between SPEERMINT (VoIP) SP is done only with SIP URIs
(this is also specified in IMS 3GPP TS 123.228, any
public user identity given by a phone number MUST be translated
first to an SIP URI)

The basic question for SPEERMINT therefore is:
is there any difference in routing and/or policy
if the original requested end-point was given
by a phone number.

Note: there are E.164 numbers and non-E.164 numbers

If yes, we may run into the same header field problem
as it is currently discussed in ECRIT. We may need
an phone (E.164) number marker.

An additional remark: in Infrastructure ENUM, the
Core-T SP (I like your definitions, they are very
helpful) is always the SP hosting the E.164 number,
in User ENUM this need not to be the case

Is there then a difference in policy and/or routing
if the SIP URI is derived from User ENUM or=20
Infrastructure ENUM?

Do we need two different markers?

Any thoughts?

Richard

I agree that we need to discuss this and clarify
(which will not be easy ;-)

I know that currently Interconnect SP (on L5) are existing
and providing a kind of clearing house function regarding
call routing (some also provide ENUM) and also providing
policy services.

Some also provide L3 transit, some not.

To complicate issues further, some work as proxies
(as in your Figure 1), some as redirect servers.

GSMA is planning to introduce such Intercon proxies
within their GRX/IPX network (called hub/IPX proxies)
(Note GRX/IPX is also always a mediastream transit network)

Additional remark: what is missing in your scenario
is the connection of enterprises, that is Os and Ts
having networks and proxies on their own.

Back to ENUM:

There is an additional problem lurking in these
complicated scenarios (I am somewhat referring
back here to my previous e-mail on phone numbers)

The assumption in User ENUM is that you get
back the AoR out of ENUM =3D the Core-T
the user defined to provide VoIP services=20
for him (not necessarily the provider=20
hosting the number)

The assumption in Infrastructure ENUM (as
currently defined in ENUM WG, not private ENUMs)
that you get back either also the AoR of the SP
provider hosting the number, which is translated
with SRV and DNS to the ingress border element
of the Core-T, or directly the ingress element

This is ok if Core-O is querying Infrastructure
ENUM and no Intercon is involved

So what is the mechanism to involve an Intercon SP?

One scenario I could imagine is the following
A Core-O is querying Infrastructure ENUM, but
finds out via the policy records that he has
no direct peering with the Core-T.

He may now forward the call to an Intercon SP which
is providing connectivity to the Core-T. He may
have some choices.

How is the Intercon SP announcing which Core-Ts
he is able to terminate?

This could of course be done by the Core-T in
the policy records giving the Intercon SP in
his federation list.

The question I have now is does the Core-O=20
provider signal to the Intercon already the
information derived from Infrastructure ENUM
(=3D the Core-T URI) or does he give again
the E.164 number and the Intercon SP is
querying Infrastructure ENUM again.

This may not sound complicated if we assume
only one global Infrastructure ENUM, but if we take
into account that we may also interwork with
private ENUMs?

Example:

GSMA decides to be reachable also from the=20
Internet, but in public Infrastructure ENUM
only the ingress border elements from IPX are
entered. This requires a second ENUM query
within IPX, which in turn requires the original
E.164 number to be kept.

Since I am currently also dealing with the
header field nightmare in SIP and IMS, we
may need to make the e.g. P-Called-Party-ID
Header from RFC 3455 mandatory.

Cheers

Richard

The major problem with Equal Access is that this cannot be solved
in SPEERMINT, because it is a national regulatory matter.

In Europe it is part of the remedies to telcos having
significant market power (SMP). It is also a typical
PSTN issue. So it depends first on a decision in which
market VoIP is placed. If you put VoIP which is a PSTN
substitution into the fixed-line voice market, the existing
remedies for SMP providers such as carrier selection apply.

A typical candidate is VoB provided bundled with BB-access,
e.g. a XDSL access with a terminal adapter and a normal
phone or an XDSL with an IP-phone.

This raises may questions such as:
if you are able to unbundle your access and are
able to choose another DSL provider, to you still
need carrier selection?

Is carrier selection only valid for voice and voice
related services, especially if the selected carrier
still has only access via the PSTN? What if you switch
during a call to video?

What does carrier selection imply with IP Interconnect?
L5 Interconnect or also L3 transit?

A very nice example is if Core-O and Core-T is the
same, e.g. running on the same server,
do you still have to provide carrier selection
if the call is now forced via the PSTN?

Etc. etc.

Cheers

Richard

This draft is quite helpful as it provides clarificatons concerning the
terminology and describes some setups.

Some questions, though:

> 2.  Terminology

>       Service Provider (SP): We use the term Service Provider in this
>       document to refer to a SIP Service Provider[3].  The individual
>       types of SPs are defined below.
> 
>          Access SP: An SP which acts as the first hop between the
>          subscriber and the Core SP.

Is this Access SP role restricted to the SIP layer or is it implied 
that this Access SP also is the layer 3 access provider for "O"?

> 4.  Routing Architectures
> 
>    1.  Direct Peering: 
> 
>           Federation: A federation is typically a set of SPs which are
>           terminating calls to each other using some well known
>           mechanisms for settlement, address location and some other
>           common administrative policies.  In most cases the peering SPs
>           are connected to a trusted private network and trust all calls
>           terminating on them over this network.
> 
>              Federations typically use ENUM as the registry database
>              (owned by the federation or a trusted third party) to
>              provide address location services and applications like
>              number portability.  Other aspects of the routing policy
>              (as described in Section 5) are implemented using edge
>              proxies or session border controllers (Section 4.1).

This use of "Federation" fits in very well with my definition
of draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00. Good.

Federations can only use ENUM if routing is based on E.164 numbers.
If we ever switch to direct URI dialing, then ENUM cannot be used
within a federation.

Btw, draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00 provides a solution for
selecting the right federation for a call and thus enables SPs
to be part of multiple federations.

> 
> 5.  Requirements for route policy and architecture for peering
> 
>    2.  Addressing: Whether the address of record of the termination is
>        an E.164 address or a generic AOR (e.g foo@bar.com)

IMHO: We should not design a system which does assume that E.164
numbers are available as routing information.

Hi Richard,

Concerning this observation from you (below):
"The major problem with Equal Access is that this cannot be solved in
SPEERMINT, because it is a national regulatory matter."

We will have to take at least a summary position, in our Requirements
BCP document, wrt regulatory requirements.

I guess the possibilities include:
   - Try to exclude everything that is (typically?) subject to such
regulation?
   - Try to include <ditto>?
   - Deal with it on a case by case basis?
   - Ignore this aspect for any otherwise necessary requirement and
prescribe what we determine is best, leaving affected  SPs and users to
sort the matter out locally?
   - Something else...?

Cheers,
BobN

The major problem with Equal Access is that this cannot be solved in
SPEERMINT, because it is a national regulatory matter.

In Europe it is part of the remedies to telcos having significant market
power (SMP). It is also a typical PSTN issue. So it depends first on a
decision in which market VoIP is placed. If you put VoIP which is a PSTN
substitution into the fixed-line voice market, the existing remedies for
SMP providers such as carrier selection apply.

A typical candidate is VoB provided bundled with BB-access, e.g. a XDSL
access with a terminal adapter and a normal phone or an XDSL with an
IP-phone.

This raises may questions such as:
if you are able to unbundle your access and are able to choose another
DSL provider, to you still need carrier selection?

Is carrier selection only valid for voice and voice related services,
especially if the selected carrier still has only access via the PSTN?
What if you switch during a call to video?

What does carrier selection imply with IP Interconnect?
L5 Interconnect or also L3 transit?

A very nice example is if Core-O and Core-T is the same, e.g. running on
the same server, do you still have to provide carrier selection if the
call is now forced via the PSTN?

Etc. etc.

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard:

Concerning your observation (below):
"Additional remark: what is missing in your scenario is the connection
of enterprises, that is Os and Ts having networks and proxies on their
own."=20

I had the same thought when I first read Medhavi's draft, but then
concluded that, from the architectural context outlined in that draft,
the "Enterprise Peering" case was simply an instance of "Direct Peering"
between "Core SPs".

If that is an accurate and acceptable interpretation, then we could
address any functional or operational differences for the enterprise
case in the Requirements BCP.  (Currently I anticipate the need for some
degree of differentiation even if only any two or more of Access SP,
Interconnect SP (by whatever name), and Core SP remain valid via WG
consensus.)

Cheers,
BobN

I agree that we need to discuss this and clarify (which will not be easy
;-)

I know that currently Interconnect SP (on L5) are existing and providing
a kind of clearing house function regarding call routing (some also
provide ENUM) and also providing policy services.

Some also provide L3 transit, some not.

To complicate issues further, some work as proxies (as in your Figure
1), some as redirect servers.

GSMA is planning to introduce such Intercon proxies within their GRX/IPX
network (called hub/IPX proxies) (Note GRX/IPX is also always a
mediastream transit network)

Additional remark: what is missing in your scenario is the connection of
enterprises, that is Os and Ts having networks and proxies on their own.

Back to ENUM:

There is an additional problem lurking in these complicated scenarios (I
am somewhat referring back here to my previous e-mail on phone numbers)

The assumption in User ENUM is that you get back the AoR out of ENUM =3D
the Core-T the user defined to provide VoIP services for him (not
necessarily the provider hosting the number)

The assumption in Infrastructure ENUM (as currently defined in ENUM WG,
not private ENUMs) that you get back either also the AoR of the SP
provider hosting the number, which is translated with SRV and DNS to the
ingress border element of the Core-T, or directly the ingress element

This is ok if Core-O is querying Infrastructure ENUM and no Intercon is
involved

So what is the mechanism to involve an Intercon SP?

One scenario I could imagine is the following A Core-O is querying
Infrastructure ENUM, but finds out via the policy records that he has no
direct peering with the Core-T.

He may now forward the call to an Intercon SP which is providing
connectivity to the Core-T. He may have some choices.

How is the Intercon SP announcing which Core-Ts he is able to terminate?

This could of course be done by the Core-T in the policy records giving
the Intercon SP in his federation list.

The question I have now is does the Core-O provider signal to the
Intercon already the information derived from Infrastructure ENUM (=3D =
the
Core-T URI) or does he give again the E.164 number and the Intercon SP
is querying Infrastructure ENUM again.

This may not sound complicated if we assume only one global
Infrastructure ENUM, but if we take into account that we may also
interwork with private ENUMs?

Example:

GSMA decides to be reachable also from the Internet, but in public
Infrastructure ENUM only the ingress border elements from IPX are
entered. This requires a second ENUM query within IPX, which in turn
requires the original
E.164 number to be kept.

Since I am currently also dealing with the header field nightmare in SIP
and IMS, we may need to make the e.g. P-Called-Party-ID Header from RFC
3455 mandatory.

Cheers

Richard

Hi Bob,

I think before we make such decisions, we should first clarify
what we are talking about.

Equal Access aka Carrier selection is basically
a PSTN construct, allowing the end-user to order
the originating (access) network which long-distance
network (transit) to use (with the intrinsic assumption that
you cannot select your access network - if you can,
an CLEC normally does not have to provide carrier
selection. And you of course cannot select the terminating
network. The basic idea is to provide competition in tariffs

You have either pre-selection and/or call-by-call
In case of call-by-call you select the carier by
dialling CAC + CIC =3D numbers

If we now introduce carrier selection within
SPEERMINT, we face some problems

A. Simple solution: Carrier selection is only
valid for calls on the PSTN, so if you dial a
CAC, you force the call to the PSTN and use the
same regime.

B. If we extend carrier selection also to IP=20
Interconect, we face a lot of definition problems
1. What IS a Carrier? An L5 intercon SP or a L3=20
transit provider. Do you force an Intercon SP
even if you could reach the core-T direct?

2. What is the reason. charging? Are there charges?
Which one? Termination charges, transit charges,May
there be brokers with different termination charges
Or may the reason now be selection of QoS networks?

3. Routing in SPEERMINT is done via SIP URIs
Numbers have already be translated into SIP URIs
How do you select a carrier? Can you force a route
in SIP. What is the UA input equivalent to CAC + CIC?
Do we use the same CICs? Note that CICs are normally=20
nationally defined. Do we need global CICs? ITU-T will
happily revive the discussion about this ;-)

Etc

My proposal is to first discuss the basic problems
we have with IP interconnect

Note: nobody knows up-to-now if end-user will really
request carrier selection on IP.

Cheers
Richard

I tend to agree with Richard - let's keep the core focus on service
provider (L5) peering. Carrier selection is something different and may
more properly be handled in other fora better attuned to PSTN issues
which, as Richard points out, have national variations.

Access...]

Hi Bob,

I think before we make such decisions, we should first clarify
what we are talking about.

Equal Access aka Carrier selection is basically
a PSTN construct, allowing the end-user to order
the originating (access) network which long-distance
network (transit) to use (with the intrinsic assumption that
you cannot select your access network - if you can,
an CLEC normally does not have to provide carrier
selection. And you of course cannot select the terminating
network. The basic idea is to provide competition in tariffs

You have either pre-selection and/or call-by-call
In case of call-by-call you select the carier by
dialling CAC + CIC =3D numbers

If we now introduce carrier selection within
SPEERMINT, we face some problems

A. Simple solution: Carrier selection is only
valid for calls on the PSTN, so if you dial a
CAC, you force the call to the PSTN and use the
same regime.

B. If we extend carrier selection also to IP=20
Interconect, we face a lot of definition problems
1. What IS a Carrier? An L5 intercon SP or a L3=20
transit provider. Do you force an Intercon SP
even if you could reach the core-T direct?

2. What is the reason. charging? Are there charges?
Which one? Termination charges, transit charges,May
there be brokers with different termination charges
Or may the reason now be selection of QoS networks?

3. Routing in SPEERMINT is done via SIP URIs
Numbers have already be translated into SIP URIs
How do you select a carrier? Can you force a route
in SIP. What is the UA input equivalent to CAC + CIC?
Do we use the same CICs? Note that CICs are normally=20
nationally defined. Do we need global CICs? ITU-T will
happily revive the discussion about this ;-)

Etc

My proposal is to first discuss the basic problems
we have with IP interconnect

Note: nobody knows up-to-now if end-user will really
request carrier selection on IP.

Cheers
Richard

I fear this is not so simple.

First we have to clarify if an enterprise can be a
core SP on its own and what are the minimum requirements=20
to be one.

Second, we also need to consider that some enterprises
(e.g. small ones) do not want to be a core SP on its
own.

ECMA (dealing in Europe with PBX issues (they specified
e.g. QSIG) presented at the last ETSI TISPAN meeting
their view on Next Generation Corporate Networks (NGCN)

They presented five scenarios, containing everything between
direct peering and using SP for interconnect

Of course the also want both: some traffic is exchanged
via direct peering (e.g. within the enterprise and also
within federations, some traffic is going via Core-SPs

So I think we have to use both models: an NGCN as
core -SP and also an NGCN connected via access SP and
core SP

Cheers

Richard

Hi Guys,

I understand your position re the specific topic of carrier selection
within equal access.

I changed the subject header on purpose:  We need to consider the
*general* case of regulatory requirements in the context of the
Requirements BCP charter item.

The best I can deduce from your responses so far is that we'll go with
the 3rd alternative I identified below:  Namely, we'll deal with that
broader question on a case by case basis...?

Cheers,
BobN

I tend to agree with Richard - let's keep the core focus on service
provider (L5) peering. Carrier selection is something different and may
more properly be handled in other fora better attuned to PSTN issues
which, as Richard points out, have national variations.

Access...]

Hi Bob,

I think before we make such decisions, we should first clarify what we
are talking about.

Equal Access aka Carrier selection is basically a PSTN construct,
allowing the end-user to order the originating (access) network which
long-distance network (transit) to use (with the intrinsic assumption
that you cannot select your access network - if you can, an CLEC
normally does not have to provide carrier selection. And you of course
cannot select the terminating network. The basic idea is to provide
competition in tariffs

You have either pre-selection and/or call-by-call In case of
call-by-call you select the carier by dialling CAC + CIC =3D numbers

If we now introduce carrier selection within SPEERMINT, we face some
problems

A. Simple solution: Carrier selection is only valid for calls on the
PSTN, so if you dial a CAC, you force the call to the PSTN and use the
same regime.

B. If we extend carrier selection also to IP Interconect, we face a lot
of definition problems 1. What IS a Carrier? An L5 intercon SP or a L3
transit provider. Do you force an Intercon SP even if you could reach
the core-T direct?

2. What is the reason. charging? Are there charges?
Which one? Termination charges, transit charges,May there be brokers
with different termination charges Or may the reason now be selection of
QoS networks?

3. Routing in SPEERMINT is done via SIP URIs Numbers have already be
translated into SIP URIs How do you select a carrier? Can you force a
route in SIP. What is the UA input equivalent to CAC + CIC?
Do we use the same CICs? Note that CICs are normally nationally defined.
Do we need global CICs? ITU-T will happily revive the discussion about
this ;-)

Etc

My proposal is to first discuss the basic problems we have with IP
interconnect

Note: nobody knows up-to-now if end-user will really request carrier
selection on IP.

Richard

Hi Otmar,

Thanks for comments. I have tried to provide some clarifications below.

For purposes of this doc and given the WG scope, the Access SP (if one
exists in the flow) is a L5 (sip aware) SP. The case where there is a
layer 3 SP and is different from the Core SP or Access SP is probably
not worth considering since there is no SIP peering involved between the
Layer 3 SP and the access/core SPs (I also think that in most cases if
the access SP exists, it will exist because it owns the layer 3). Also I
realize that there may not be many access SPs (L5) today, but chances
are that today's Layer 3 SPs will attempt to become tomorrow's Access
SPs.

>=20
I'd agree. I am thinking there will be a lot more discussion on how the
presence of E.164 changes the situation (maybe dips into some legacy
system). In practice the access SPs and core SPs may be providing SIP
based access to legacy PSTN. I assume those scenarios are also in scope.

Richard,

You have raised some interesting problems below. I am sure there will be
a lot of discussion around this. Anyway, my comments are below:

I think this case is handled as long as the network which O has acts as
its Core SP. In other words the SP in the middle is purely an
Interconnect (I prefer inventing a new term such as IXP for these folks
doing this). If the scenario is that O has a network but it is separate
from Core-O (which is an SP), then that network may be classified as
either Access SP or one of the IXPs in the middle.=20

In terms of requirements, this does raise the question how does an
Enterprise advertise or announce the numbers. There are other
requirements of course for direct or hosted services used by the
enterprise (like some sort of controlled access control policies or
B2B).

I think this is a very important question for the WG. I was implicitly
assuming some sort of private ENUM (hop by hop basis), but we need to
answer all the questions you have below. I think the IPX (GRX folks)
have this problem today. The Core-O does an ENUM dip and gets the IPX
border element's domain address. Following this, the IPX border element
is doing another ENUM dip to get to Core-T. The second option is that
Core-O does the dip and gets the domain for Core-T. Now using business
policies it decides that the best way to get to it is to get through the
IXP (IPX :) it has an agreement with. The IXP then does the dip again to
route the call to Core-T. The problem here is that there is local policy
Core-O used to get to the IXP. I think some folks may say that we need
not solve this problem in the WG given that the IXP may want to control
that based on business arrangements. However I think there will be
"free" or low cost or "better" IXPs who would want to enlist themselves
in some sort of federation (I think you refer to this model as well). At
best this should be another ENUM dip kept separate from the previous one
(which is used by everyone). This ENUM dip would be done for the Core-T
domain and the result will be the IXP list and the dip could be done to
the IXP federation ENUM server.

My personal opinion is that it may not be not required for the case you
have above. I think for the WG purposes, the solution we come with for
the Interconnect SP problem (in the other thread we have on the WG list)
may also be used to solve this. An Access SP or Core SP which needs to
provide this to the subscriber for whatever reason treats the LD carrier
as an Interconnect SP. The LD Carrier will need to do another lookup to
get to Core-T (which may be same as Core-O in this case).=20

This scenario may exist. I have heard about it as a requirement in some
VoIP deployments.

IMHO it is required to define the task of each SP in the chain exactly

What are the tasks and purposes of an Access SP?

Simple proxying Register and Invite messages between
the o and the Core-O, Or are there additional functions?

E.G providing emergency dial strings as currently discussed in ECRIT
act as an Emergency Service Routing Proxy. What else?

Regarding E.164 numbers there is an intersting issue with
Infratsructure ENUM. An enterprise may have e.g. a geo-number
which is hosted by a Core-T. The enterprise may have in addition a=20
national corporate number or an 800 number assigned directly=20
to the enterprise by the NRA. The enterprise may decide now
to host this number either with another SP or even point this
number directly to his proxy, acting in this case as Core-T

Regarding you answer below on different
ENUM dips (private, IXP and global Infrastructure)
one should alweay keep the prime purpose of
Infrastructure ENUM in mind: saving admistrative
cost (OPEX).

The basic idea of ENUM is that the Core-T hosting
the number is administrating his own numbers only
and all other Core-O are querying these numbers

If a Core-O is running and querying a private
ENUM database, one has first to ask the question
where are the data coming from? definitely not from
the Core-T. Who is maintaing the data, if eg a number
is ported in another country an now moving from
one IXP to the other?

cheers

Richard

You have raised some interesting problems below. I am sure there will be
a lot of discussion around this. Anyway, my comments are below:

I think this case is handled as long as the network which O has acts as
its Core SP. In other words the SP in the middle is purely an
Interconnect (I prefer inventing a new term such as IXP for these folks
doing this). If the scenario is that O has a network but it is separate
from Core-O (which is an SP), then that network may be classified as
either Access SP or one of the IXPs in the middle.

In terms of requirements, this does raise the question how does an
Enterprise advertise or announce the numbers. There are other
requirements of course for direct or hosted services used by the
enterprise (like some sort of controlled access control policies or
B2B).

I think this is a very important question for the WG. I was implicitly
assuming some sort of private ENUM (hop by hop basis), but we need to
answer all the questions you have below. I think the IPX (GRX folks)
have this problem today. The Core-O does an ENUM dip and gets the IPX
border element's domain address. Following this, the IPX border element
is doing another ENUM dip to get to Core-T. The second option is that
Core-O does the dip and gets the domain for Core-T. Now using business
policies it decides that the best way to get to it is to get through the
IXP (IPX :) it has an agreement with. The IXP then does the dip again to
route the call to Core-T. The problem here is that there is local policy
Core-O used to get to the IXP. I think some folks may say that we need
not solve this problem in the WG given that the IXP may want to control
that based on business arrangements. However I think there will be
"free" or low cost or "better" IXPs who would want to enlist themselves
in some sort of federation (I think you refer to this model as well). At
best this should be another ENUM dip kept separate from the previous one
(which is used by everyone). This ENUM dip would be done for the Core-T
domain and the result will be the IXP list and the dip could be done to
the IXP federation ENUM server.

Hello,

If this is a requirement, is it not a regional SDO requirement, and
therefore, should be an input requirement from one of those regional
SDOs?

Cheers,

Martin

Richard,

Yes, and in the peering case the main difference between an enterprise as SP
and a carrier as SP is that the enterprise SP provides service only to a
limited community of users (e.g., within an organisation), rather than to
the general public, and hence different regulatory considerations apply.
Otherwise it has very similar technical characteristics.

Please provide comment.

I-D ACTION:draft-khan-ip-serv-peer-arch-00.txt


A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


	Title		: IP Service (Voice and Multimedia) Peering
Architecture
	Author(s)	: S. Khan

This document pictorially depicts IP Service (Voice + Multimedia)
provider network functional components, peering interface functions, and
an IP Service (VM) providers? peering reference architecture. The draft
also calls for developing separate requirements for different types of
peering.=20

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	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.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Given that propagation delay added for  so much end to end
signaling/control message flows, would it be possible to shorten flows
of Figure 7 by eliminating messages (10 to 13) and combining messages
(9) and (14) together?

 If so, what are the implications of such elimination?

Thank you.

Sohel Khan

Good draft.

Couple of points:

Chapter 2:
I think a Service Provider can be an application provider, SIP transport
and processing provider, media transport and processing provider ...
(please see the definition in draft-khan-ip-serv-peer-arch-00.txt)

Application SP: =20
I was thinking application SP as a application or content provider.

Chapter 3:

Instead of using term  {O} or {T}, would it be possible to use UA-O and
UA-T?

Instead of "T may be a subscriber, contact center, E911 operator etc.",
can we rewrite,=20
"T may be a subscriber, contact center, E911 operator, application
server etc."

There is no figure 7.  I believe you're referring to figure 6 on page 9 of
draft-wing-session-auth-00.txt.

If Alice's network policy allows Alice to send UDP packets out of her
network without any policy control you could eliminate messages 11, 12, 15,
and 16.

It isn't possible to eliminate message 10, as it contains the SDP answer --
that arrives as part of the SIP 183 message (unreliably) or the SIP 200
message.

Message 9 (Alice's STUN response) and message 14 (Alice's STUN Request) are
part of ICE.  Alice can send her STUN response prior to receiving Bob's SDP
answer.  However, per ICE, Alice doesn't send her STUN Request until she
receives Bob's SDP answer.  You'll see those messages 9 (Alice's STUN
Response) and 14 (Alice's STUN Request) are also shown in the simplified ICE
flow in Figure 4.

I expect the mechanics of this will be easier to follow with the slides that
I'm presenting in Dallas -- with the ASCII call flow is awkward to follow.  

For example the ASCII art makes it seem there is delay in the system whereas
an implementation could actually eliminate much of that delay.  As a
specific example, the ASCII art shows message 10 (containing Bob's SDP
answer) is received by Alice's SIP proxy and then Alice's SIP proxy spends
time communicating with Alice's Policy device (messages 11 and 12) before
sending the message along to the Alice endpoint itself (message 13).
However, as long as Alice's Policy device has received that communication
sometime prior to Alice's Firewall doing its authorization check in message
15, the authorization will still work.  A flow like this could be
envisioned:

  ...
     |             |(10) answer, token=B:b     |             |
     |             |<----------------------------------------|
     |(11) answer, token=B:b     |             |             |
     |<------------|             |             |             |
     |             |(12) new session, token=B:b|             |
     |             |............>|             |             |
     |             |(13) OK      |             |             |
     |             |<............|             |             |
     |(14) STUN Request, token=B:b:A:a         |             |
     |========================================>X             |
     |             |             |(15) token B:b:A:a ok?     |
     |             |             |<............|             |
     |             |             |(16) Yes     |             |

The risk is of this flow is a race condition -- message 14 and 15 could
occur before message 12 occurs.  This race condition could be resolved by
having the policy server only send a "no" in message 16 after waiting a
"reasonable length of time" (a second, perhaps) for the possible arrival of
message 12.  However, this would require storing more state in the policy
server if there is a flood of message 14's or spoofed message 14's which
will never be authorized by any SIP proxy because there really isn't an
signaled SIP call associated with that 5-tuple or with the token values.

Hope that helps.

First, I like the proposed text from from Rohan regarding

> >3.6.2.  Layer 5 Peering

second, on the discussion on NAPTRs I would like to add
that we may also have a third, etc. NAPTR lookup,=20
e.g. the proposed Policy NAPTRs, so we should always
make clear what NAPTRs we are talking about

Hi David.

Nice draft.

Following up on Rohan's comment regarding carrier clubs or federations I =
think that this document should actually have a definition of these as =
well.

The reason it is so important to have this definition appear in this =
document is because I have seen many definitions cropping up that IMHO =
confuse the matter and since this document is sort of a baseline it is =
probably better that it is dealt with here.=20

Compare for example the definitions given for a federation in =
"draft-ietf-sipping-trait-authz-02" (TRAIT) and =
"draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00" (FEDS).=20

TRAIT defines a federation as "...a set of administrative domains that =
implement common policies regarding the use and applicability of traits =
for authorization decisions".

FEDS on the other hand defines this same entity as "...a group of VoIP =
service providers which
      *  agree to receive calls from each other via SIP,
      *  agree on a set of administrative rules for such calls
         (settlement, abuse-handling, ...), and
      *  agree on specific rules for the technical details of the
         Interconnection".

As can be seen, FEDS has a much narrower definition and since as Rohan =
has pointed out we are "not precluding" connections via some sort of =
intervening network it is possible to have federations where the peers =
do not "agree" on policy with anyone other than the intervening network. =
TRAIT is general enough to allow for this model while FEDS is not.

Accepting the TRAIT definition and "base-lining" it is therefore more in =
line with the current revisions to your document.

(In general I feel that the TRAIT document should migrate over to the =
SPEERMINT working group)=20

Any thoughts?

David Schwartz

Hi David.

Upon further thought I believe we need to reexamine section 3.6.2. of
draft-ietf-speermint-reqs-and-terminology-01.txt. Does the scope of the
definition of Layer 5 peering presented really cover all of our use
cases?

Consider if you will the nature of social or referral networks. Assume
that B is a friend to A and C. A would like to speak to C only C does
not know or trust A is and it is only when B "introduces" A to C that A
can speak directly to C. Note that this has nothing to do with how the
signaling/media flows between A and C. In reality, peering networks have
more in common with this example than we realize. At the end of the day,
it is the business relationships comprising trust and policy that
differentiate the Layer 5 peering problems from lower layer ones.

The direct peering model and the one using an intermediary network are
both use cases that need to be unified by a common peering model. The
challenge for SPEERMINT is to define this model such that we have the
tools to express peering for all its use cases.

David Schwartz

Yes, it will be a good idea to move draft-ietf-sipping-trait-authz-02 to

The concept of federations will be important. They are popping up
in various concepts (e.g. IM federations), and I doubt that one
definition will be suitable for all applications.

My wording in FEDS may be ambiguous, but as one example shows I tried
to include the options of having a layer 5 node in the middle in
the definition of a federation:

   o  Peering fabric based on SIP: A company sets up a SIP proxy which
      acts as a forwarding proxy between the SIP proxies of all
      participating VSPs.  The group of these VSP form a federation
      whose technical rules state that calls have to be routed via that
      central proxy.

In the context of draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00, the only important
aspect of a federation is the notion that if VSP A is a member of
the federations X and Y and VSP B is a member of Y and Z then A can use
the federation-framework of Y to complete a call to B.

At this level, the details of Y's inner working (direct SIP? proxied SIP? 
Public Internet? Private L3? QoS? TLS? Codecs? srtp?) is irrelevant.

The TRAIT concept fits in nicely into draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00.
I see two ways of incorporating TRAITs there:

a) if e.g. 10 universities trust each other's traits, then they can
   form a FEDS federation where the technical rules state that inter-university
   calls need to carry the trait "valid-user" (signed by one of the universities).

b) assuming traits will be standardized as RFC9999, and the appropriate
   policy-types are introduced:

   $ORIGIN example.edu.
      ;      order pref flags service regexp replacement
       IN NAPTR 10 10   "U" "D2P+SIP:std" "!^.*$!urn:ietf:rfc:9999!" .
       IN NAPTR 10 11   "U" "D2P+SIP:ca-list" "!^.*$!CACERT,THAWTE,XXXX!" .

> Accepting the TRAIT definition and "base-lining" it is therefore more
> in line with the current revisions to your document.

I'm not sure whether that's a good idea. TRAIT addresses a different application
than FEDS. Forcing a definition to suit both may have benefits in terminology
but will dilute the applicability of the concepts regarding the respective use-cases.

Hi Otmar.
=20
Nice hearing from you.
=20
I guess what concerns me about the definition in your draft is the word =
"agree". Various DA's can coexist in a federation without agreeing on =
anything. They merely need to support a common set of rules so that they =
can understand each others requirements. Agreement sound awfully close =
to bilateral relationships and as I stated before that is just on use =
case for a federation. Entities may federate and yet not agree to accept =
direct traffic from each other for business, security, trust, protocol, =

The concept of federations will be important. They are popping up
in various concepts (e.g. IM federations), and I doubt that one
definition will be suitable for all applications.

My wording in FEDS may be ambiguous, but as one example shows I tried
to include the options of having a layer 5 node in the middle in
the definition of a federation:

   o  Peering fabric based on SIP: A company sets up a SIP proxy which
      acts as a forwarding proxy between the SIP proxies of all
      participating VSPs.  The group of these VSP form a federation
      whose technical rules state that calls have to be routed via that
      central proxy.

In the context of draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00, the only =
important
aspect of a federation is the notion that if VSP A is a member of
the federations X and Y and VSP B is a member of Y and Z then A can use
the federation-framework of Y to complete a call to B.

At this level, the details of Y's inner working (direct SIP? proxied =
SIP?
Public Internet? Private L3? QoS? TLS? Codecs? srtp?) is irrelevant.

The TRAIT concept fits in nicely into draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00.
I see two ways of incorporating TRAITs there:

a) if e.g. 10 universities trust each other's traits, then they can
   form a FEDS federation where the technical rules state that =
inter-university
   calls need to carry the trait "valid-user" (signed by one of the =
universities).

b) assuming traits will be standardized as RFC9999, and the appropriate
   policy-types are introduced:

   $ORIGIN example.edu.
      ;      order pref flags service regexp replacement
       IN NAPTR 10 10   "U" "D2P+SIP:std" "!^.*$!urn:ietf:rfc:9999!" .
       IN NAPTR 10 11   "U" "D2P+SIP:ca-list" =
"!^.*$!CACERT,THAWTE,XXXX!" .

I'm not sure whether that's a good idea. TRAIT addresses a different =
application
than FEDS. Forcing a definition to suit both may have benefits in =
terminology
but will dilute the applicability of the concepts regarding the =
respective use-cases.

Hi David,

?DA?

I'm open to alternative wordings. The really critical thing for me
is the following:

  If A and B are members of federation Y, then they can use
  some means (as defined in the rules of Y) to route calls to
  each other via SIP.

(I don't care whether what SIP routings (direct or via a central
proxy) a federation defines for its members. That's out of scope
for my draft. It doesn't matter for the domain policy draft.)

This doesn't necessarily mean they have a bilateral contract.

They could have a contract with a central authority which defines
how two members can connect to each other.

As an example of that concept on a layer 3 exchange, look at
the route servers operated by various internet exchanges
(e.g. http://www.linx.net/www_public/our_services/other_services):
Everybody peering with such a route server effectively peers
with everybody else who peers with this server.

A SIP-Layer transit network X is just another special case, as long
as ALL customers of X can reach ALL other customers of X via the 
transit network X. The set of customers of X is a valid federation
according to my definition.

What doesn't work is selective peerings within a fabric: that way
the fabric membership information is no longer enough to make
the call routing decision.

As I said, I'm open to wording suggestions.

Hi Otmar and David,

This discussion regarding the definition of federation is fundamental to =
how
we see the role of the federation, and not just terminology.

=A0
The definition of a federation in the TRAITS draft is more like a =
framework
that would enable federations as described in FEDS [ a federation for =
peer
terminations ] to be a use case that would be expressible in the =
framework.
A key point in TRAITS is that federations are first and foremost a =
common
policy schema framework.

>From the TRAITS draft:
=A0
=93Domains that federate with one another agree on the syntax and =
semantics of
traits - without this consensus, trait-based authorization schemes would
only be useful in an intradomain context.=94
=A0
=93A federation is defined as a set of administrative domains that =
implement
common policies regarding the use and applicability of traits for
authorization decisions.=94
=A0
The use case in the TRAITS draft of =93Settlement for Services=94 is an
interesting example. If we extend TRAITS beyond authorization, =
wouldn=92t the
peered termination examples in FEDS be better expressed in a TRAITS-like
framework? TRAITS enables assertion of attributes and their policy
requirements [the scope of those in the draft are authorization]. FEDS, =
on
the other hand, is limited to DNS expression for policy requirements.
=A0
TRAITS also does not commit to a binding such as DNS, as in FEDS. TRAITS
provides a framework that should be implemented at several levels. In =
the
FEDS example of call termination, the authorization/agreement flow could
conceivably require elements at a higher protocol level than DNS.=20
=A0

Wading to the middle here...

It seems to me that we would be wise to think about the ability to specify a
transit network when there needs to be a transit network, and there is more
than one available.  

If I have four networks, A, B1, B2 and C, where the networks peer in more
than one place, then I may have a transit network:
A -(p1)- B1 -(p2)- C
       \    /
         B2

and I may wish to instruct p1 to use either B1 or B2.  I may do that for a
variety of reasons.  

Brian

My personal opinion is that it may not be not required for the case you
have above. I think for the WG purposes, the solution we come with for
the Interconnect SP problem (in the other thread we have on the WG list)
may also be used to solve this. An Access SP or Core SP which needs to
provide this to the subscriber for whatever reason treats the LD carrier
as an Interconnect SP. The LD Carrier will need to do another lookup to
get to Core-T (which may be same as Core-O in this case).

I agree with Brian. We need to have more than one transit place.
It can have two different scenarios:
A -(p1)- B1 -(p2)- C
       \    /
         B2


A -(p1)--B1 --(p2)- C
          \         /
              B2
=20
Both p1 and p2 need to have options to select either B1 or B2.

Nice, but wong
=20
BTW, the in Equel Access is not with p1 or p2
(this is anyway the case
=20
It is with A
=20
and how is the user doing this?
He must do it in the request URI
=20
entering sip:user@provider.net;cic=3D25
=20
or is this only possible dialing numbers?
sip:10xxnumber@provider.net;user=3Ddialstring
=20

(wasI-Ddraft-bhatia-sip-peering-00.txt)



I agree with Brian. We need to have more than one transit place.
It can have two different scenarios:
A -(p1)- B1 -(p2)- C
       \    /
         B2


A -(p1)--B1 --(p2)- C
          \         /
              B2

Both p1 and p2 need to have options to select either B1 or B2.

Wading to the middle here...

It seems to me that we would be wise to think about the ability to
specify a transit network when there needs to be a transit network, and
there is more than one available.=20

If I have four networks, A, B1, B2 and C, where the networks peer in
more than one place, then I may have a transit network:
A -(p1)- B1 -(p2)- C
       \    /
         B2

and I may wish to instruct p1 to use either B1 or B2.  I may do that for
a variety of reasons.=20

Brian

My personal opinion is that it may not be not required for the case you
have above. I think for the WG purposes, the solution we come with for
the Interconnect SP problem (in the other thread we have on the WG list)
may also be used to solve this. An Access SP or Core SP which needs to
provide this to the subscriber for whatever reason treats the LD carrier
as an Interconnect SP. The LD Carrier will need to do another lookup to
get to Core-T (which may be same as Core-O in this case).

This scenario may exist. I have heard about it as a requirement in some
VoIP deployments.

Folks,=20

=20

Here are my suggestions for the next rev:

=20

-        Re-organize use cases and the corresponding architectures
(direct, interconnect SP, federation etc).

-        Add new use cases for how interconnects/federations should be
used when peering between two SPs

-        Add text to describe how/where policies should be applied
(should/should not etc) in the use cases.

-        Add message flows for any confusing use cases

=20

I think the document can be used for the WG items "architecture and
message flows".

=20

Comments/alternate ideas?

I have some questions for clarification regarding the SPEERMINT charter
(or in ITU-T speak: Mr Chairman, I am confused)
=20
"SPEERMINT focuses (on) architectures to identify, signal, and route
delay-sensitive (real-time) communication sessions. These sessions
use the SIP signaling protocol to enable peering between two or more
administrative domains over IP networks. Where these domains peer,
or meet, the establishment of trust, security, and a resistance to
abuse and attack are all important considerations."

First question: the term IP networks seems to need clarification:

IP networks is a generic term valid for both the Internet and private
(walled garden) IP networks, but
=20
I had always the opinion that this is the INTERNET Engineering
Task Force (IETF) and the PRIMARY goal is to define architectures to
identify, signal and route ... sessions on the public INTERNET.
=20
This does not prevent anybody to use these architectures and related=20
protocols also on private IP networks, as it is done with other =
protocols
and architectures (e.g. the DNS).

But is is NOT the task of the IETF to define such architectures and
protocols PRIMARILY for the use in private IP networks.
=20
So I undersatnd that the primary goal of SPEERMINT is to enable
peering between two or more administrative domains on the INTERNET.
=20
and also to establich trust, security ans resistance to abuse and =
attacks on
the Internet.
=20
I consider it therefore curious that some say the I-Ds =
draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00
and draft-lendl-speermint-federation-00 are out of scope. If these =
drafts are out-of-scope
then maybe somebody would be so nice to explain to me what is in scope =
of SPEERMINT.
=20
I am also confused about the statement from Rohan that nobody will use =
this because no
provider will make public to which federation he belongs to.
=20
Since this drafts are modelled along the quite sucessful model of BGP =
peering, I wonder.
=20
Imagine yor airline has a frequent flyer program, but not disclosing =
that it is part of=20
Star Alliance.
=20
It is true that SPEERMINT is special (optional?) within the IETF, =
because to peer between
SIP proxies on the Internet all you need is SIP AoRs and RFC 3263 NAPTR =
and SRV,
and I also understand that the major problem of  the VSP starts with the =
SIP URI giving away
their identity (some peering fabrics make a living on this ;-)
=20
Nobody seems to have a problem with this with e-mail
=20
Voice is really a special application, infecting anybody with =
bell-headism
=20
best regards
=20

[I'm listening to the webcast from monday again, and try to
answer a few question that came up during the presentaion of
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/06mar/slides/speermint-3.ppt ]

On slide 2 we stated that some SIP networks do not want to
interconnect using the open Internet model (as in the email case)
because of the fear of SPIT.

Someone (I think Jonathan; the microphone discipline wasn't that good)
remarked that he doubts that anybody can claim to have solved the SPIT
problem. Thus, some clarifications:

* I'm not talking about RFC-compliant, open SIP servers 
  on the public Internet who are per definition interconnected. 
  IMHO they don't need speermint. I try to cover them as a 
  special case but they are not the focus of this draft.
  
  Please keep that in mind.

* There are VoIP carriers who use SIP internally but refuse to
  accept calls from anybody over the Internet because they fear
  SPIT.

* These VSPs *do* accept calls via the PSTN where there
  are solutions and policies in place which mitigate
  the problem of unsolicted calls. (DNC-lists, laws, tracking
  capabilities, ...)

* Thus: If we want to get such VSPs to peer with each other
  using SIP we have to give them the means to open up
  their networks in a controlled and selective way. 

  If it is a binary choice between "No IP-interconnect" and
  "accept calls from anybody on the Internet", then a
  significant number of VSPs will opt for "No IP-interconnect".

  Of course, manually configured peerings between two VSPs
  work in the meantime. But this runs into severe scalalibity
  problems very quickly.

* Thus: If we can offer a solution which enables them
  to control with whom they peer then the SPIT problem
  is manageable. After all, contrary to email, you can
  shut down a SIP peering without affecting reachability
  as the calls fall back to the PSTN.

  Example: If a VSP opens up his SIP proxy to the set of other
  VSPs with whom he already has a PSTN/SS7 interconnect, then he does
  not introduce a new vector for SPIT into his network.

  Or: To much SPIT coming in from $country? Drop the SIP
  peering and let them call you via PSTN.

The main difference to email is the following:

Email (at least on the Internet) started out as a fully connected
network: everybody talks to everybody. There is no backup if you block
a transmission. Spam-filters usually work by elimitating unwanted
communication.

Voice is different: A lot of people used SIP to build islands of VoIP
interconnected via the PSTN. For them, we're trying to establish direct
communication paths. SPIT is controlled by only opening up to explicitly
wanted communication partners.

Back to the $country example: You can't just tell your customers that you
won't accept any email from $country due to spam originating there,
but you don't need to tell your customers whether that caller from $country 
reaches you via SIP or the PSTN.

Summary:

* Jonathan (or whoever that was) is correct that this draft
  does not solve the SPIT problem for the open SIP proxy case.

* It is not designed to solve that problem. 

* It just offers a gradual path for SIP islands to start
  interconnecting to each other. SPIT is just one reason why 
  VSPs will want to have that capability.

There this still controversial?

If yes, which points are disputed?

[This is the second followup to monday's WG discussion on this draft.]

Regarding the definition of "federation":

The definition in draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00 has a simple focus:
Call routing. A shared federation membership means I can reach the other
VSP though that federation.

This is just like IP networking 101 where we have the fact that
two hosts in the same subnet can talk to each other directly.
There the L3 routing logic contains the simple step:

  * Do I have an interface with an IP-address that lies in the same
    subnet as the destination adress? If yes, use rules of the L2 
    infrastructure of that interface to transport the packet.

My federation definition does the same for SIP:

  * Am I a member of any federation where the destination is also
    a member? If yes, do whatever that federation proscribes to
    route the call.

--

As I read draft-ietf-sipping-trait-authz-02 (btw, are there any other
documents on TRAITS? I haven't found any.), the proposal there is to

* embed cryptographic tokens into SIP messages which assert some
  attribute of the sender. E.g. "I'm a valid user of provider XXX", 
  "I'm a student of XXX", "I can settle bills using YYY".

* Members of a TRAITS federation honor each other's assertions. 

As I see it, TRAITS is a framework on how to communicate attributes and 
it will defined a concrete set of protocols how to authenticate 
message to build trust relationships. It's a "how to do something" idea.

My federation definition doesn't care how federations authenticate
members and how the trust is established. It's a "Can I use it to do X"-
kind of definition. For all I care it can be a bunch of access lists on the
firewall of the participating VSPs.

A TRAITs federation can be used to implement a federation as defined in
draft-lendl-speermint-federations-00. e.g. "all calls with the TRAIT
"valid-user" signed by any member of this federation will be accepted
over the public Internet by all other members of the federation."

Not all TRAIT-federations are federations as defined in my draft.
Just because members recognize each other's trait tags, this does
not necessarily mean that they will accept calls from each other.

On the other hand, using TRAITs is just one way of implementing
a federation for sip peering. You can do that using a walled
garden or TLS certs and without touching SIP headers.

Further remarks: 

* The set of all open SIP servers on the public Internet 
  fulfills the definition of a federation as well.

* So does the set of two VSPs which have a private peering relationship.

* I'm very much open to an alternative name for my federation concept.
  If that's what it takes to reduce the confusion, bring it on.

Comments?

I have been studying this draft and have I think an important comment. The
firewalls shown in the diagrams and described in the text should be replaced
or further described as to their function.

Specifically, most firewalls typically perform a NAT, and indeed a NAT at
the edge of a carrier network would break the "natural routing" benefits of
this proposal.

I would suggest in text and diagrams to clarify the firewall as either a
filter or a nat.

I also would suggest discussing a few additional potential downsides to this
approach. One would be that if "natural routing"  is used, there will need
to be a firewall-filter on each and every path that could support this
route. Thus the downside is that for a large network with many physical
peering interconnections, there would need to be a firewall-filter on every
interface.

I also would like to suggest an improvement to this architecture. That would
be to optionally have the firewalls perform a NAT. In this mode, the STUN
message would be NAT'ed on its way to the destination AFTER the policy
look-up. This may allow the policy server to instantiate a translation
before the STUN message is returned to its egress processing at the
firewall-nat device. Advantages here would include being able to interwork
with RFC1918 addressed devices in the network your interconnecting with.
Additional advantages are that this would permit reduction of the number of
physical interfaces requiring a firewall-nat since you could now use a /32
route to represent the entire destination network restricting that route to
a handful of interconnect points. This would waste a real IP address, but it
may well be worth it given the savings on the alternative of equipping every
interface between the two networks.

One minor suggestion would be to replace the references of "natural routing"
with something that is more accurate. The reason for this is that I do not
know what you mean by the opposite - unnatural routing. And then there is
always the possibility of supernatural routing. Not being a routing expert I
don't want to suggest a term here and I know what you mean is BGP4 or OSPF
based packet forwarding mechanism. But I would suggest it could be more
accurately defined.


Finally - at the working group you presented a diagram showing BOB trying to
talk to ALICE. I know that the values of the IETF are to not build any
walled gardens -- but I worry that if BOB wanted to send a STUN packet or
even a RTP packet to alice that wasn't part of the peering arrangement, then
the packet would be dropped. This would in effect cause the path to not be
used for best efforts uses. While this is good and desired for peering
interconnect, if Natural Routing is used, the Natural Routers would have to
be Super Natural Routers to figure out how to route around those stun and
RTP messages being used by Google Talk or other service providers that Bob
or Alice might want to use.

I'd be very interested what people believe to be a viable alternative 
to runtime policy discovery - in particular visavis the fact that the 
draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00 proposes to pubish a unique ID for 
a policy to enable runtime matching, but NOT requiring to publish 
what that policy ID actually stands for.

In BGP speak this amounts to: "Here is my AS number. You might find 
that AS number tacked to other domains if you scan a lot of them, but 
no, we are not publishing our peering and transit relations in an RIR 
database". As for the BT example, saying that the sip.bt.com ingress 
point supports the BT IP interconnect policy, which is likely to be 
found on a BT website as their Reference Interconnect Offer in the 
first place. So much for the danger of "private parts exposure".

I have a hard time believing we are back to static local 
configuration as the "preferred" solution, be that bilateral setup or 
"everything goes to my peering shop".


Here's a paper exercise for you to tinker with alternatives:

With SIP capabilites as they stand today, please emulate the GSM 
association - that's 600+ operators with some 23.000 interconnect agreements.

In the first attempt, try to avoid the "big SIP hub" scenario for 
extra intellectual challenge.

After done with defining pathetic access lists and local routing 
tables, I assume you're motivated to think about alternatives. Then 
again, if one has gobs of staff managing interconnect relations, that 
staff could well eventually be retrained to edit access control lists 
and tables.

 From a commercial point of view, there likely is a business case for 
the SIP hubs/peering providers. I think they have real value as 
SIP/RTP cleansing shops. I'm not sure that approach should be the 
IETF entropy solution to fabric discovery.

And, while lashing out at the unsuitability of 
draft-lendl-domain-policy-ddds-00 for current service provider 
mindsets, keep in mind it does not limit itself to "carriers" - it 
does address groups of users, and in fact the user-service provider 
interface policy discovery problems just as well.

Bonus value: it also includes "go to my peering shop" - besides 
keeping the end-to-end option open.

It may be that they will be useful in time, but that we're not ready for
them yet as a WG.  The first WG session in Dallas produced some very
interesting and varied drafts that covered a lot of ground.  That there
was not yet universal agreement on things as of yet, I think is quite
natural.  However, we're going to start to focus more on some of the
immediate milestones of the WG so that we can generate some positive
forward momentum.  In addition, as I said in the WG session, we have to
start off laying a strong foundation first before we can climb upward to
more complex issues.  We will get there in time...

Jason

Hi,

I haven't been following the discussions closely but so maybe some
topics might have already being raised.

I think this draft is a good starting point. It touches on many issues
that need to be hashed out in detail.

In my opinion the decomposed scenario (where signaling and media take
different paths) is the one where the interaction between SIP and Layer
3-4 (as mentioned in the charter) is most important.

I've been working on this area and it seems to me all "business issues"
discussed in 5.3.X area actual technical issues to be solved.  How does
a policy decision point like a SBC/EdgeProxy convey the necessary
information to a policy enforcement point like "peering" router? Or even
more than one? Which information would be relayed (QoS, FW pinholes,
NAT, etc)?=20

Is somebody going to jump and say MIDCOM? Diameter? Or maybe
Megaco/H.248?

How to reconcile such scenarios with the work done in TISPAN and IMS? I
believe these are valid questions. I believe khan's draft touches the
issue from an overall perspective. I remember someone made a comment
about it seeming to be an IMS look alike, but the fact of the matter is
that although the problem statements are different, the architecture (or
device nomenclature?) used in 3GPP/TISPAN fits very well with the
scenarios.

I wonder if somebody is willing to work on a draft expanding on the
technical issues for SIP<->Layer 3-4 interactions for a decomposed
scenario (which encompasses the coupled scenario). I've started it but
would not mind help with the writing.

Regards,

Reinaldo

>=20

I think this is in the charter of the WG, but the current draft touches
on media only for making informative route decisions (really peer
selection). There are good chances that this part of the solution will
evolve as the SIP implementations/specs evolve. The focus of this draft
is routing only and the related use cases.

My personal view is that these protocols are more for a master/slave
control. In peering, this is really not the case and I don't think the
carriers involved will actually like such a solution (interdomain MEGACO
etc).

Those are good issues for the WG, but the context of this draft is
fairly general to IETF. Unless IMS alters a use case or has a
requirement which affects us (you may know more than I do...), I think
we should keep the scope contained (however I am open to ideas based on
how the WG may decide to move ahead).

[This is the third followup to monday's WG discussion on this draft.]

There were two questions (Rohan and Jonathan) concerning why
all this DNS busines is necessary and helpful. After all, there
are mechnisms within SIP to reject calls and the "consent framework"
can be used to establish fine-tuned access control.

The reason we're not basing our solution on SIP is the following:

When looking at the target audience for Speermint we found:

* Some VSPs don't want to have their SIP proxies exposed to
  the public Internet fearing DoS and other attacks.
  They thus use firewalls to allow incoming SIP packets
  only from pre-approved addresses.

* Most of the peering fabrics popping up at Internet
  Exchange Points use a private L2/3 infrastructure which
  is not reachable from the public Internet.

* 3GPP and others (ETSI's NGN, the CableCos) are builing their
  interconnects on a private network seperated from the Internet.

In these cases you can't use SIP to query whether they will
accept calls from you. Sure, you can try but the most likely
response will be a timeout. If you're lucky you'll get an
ICMP error message. Maybe.

Call-setup is a time-critical procedure. Callers don't tolerate 
gratuitous delays. So your choice is to either

* use extremely short timeouts on the SIP try
or
* use an out-of-band (in terms of SIP) procedure.

Furthermore, we have:

* Some peering fabrics operate in a SIP-hub mode: All calls
  between participating VSPs are routed via a central SIP proxy.

* Some peering fabrics require special TLS certs to be used
  to connect to the SIP proxies. 

!! In these cases you have to know the destination's federation
!! affiliation before you can reach them via SIP.

Some of these things could be solved via appropriate SRV records, e.g.
have them point at the central SIP hub in the first example.

This quickly breaks down if a VSP participates in a number of different
peering fabrics. This could be a very realistic scenario in a few years.

What should the SRV records look like for e.g. 3G-example.com which
is reachable via the GRX (using the SIP hubs used therein), the VoIP- 
VLANs at VIX, LINX and DE-CIX (which may very well exist in a few
years), plus from a selected set of IP-addresses over the public Internet?

Comments?

[[Reinaldo]]=20

It is not really interdomain. I guess the main point is how do you
convey policy decision based on SIP URIs, domains, agreements and so
forth to the devices that are going to handle the media "your" domain
and the other.

I agree.  However, the reason ITSPs like to hide the IP address of
remote endpoints is to hide the business relationship to the 
next-hop ITSP, and to force the RTP traffic to stay on their own
network so they can charge for delivery of a service and to monitor
that RTP traffic (such as for MOS monitoring).

Not all businesses need or want to do that.

An implementor building a box that does both NAT functions and
implements -wing-session-auth would very likely build such a box
like that, yes.

Routing from Alice directly to Bob, without sending IP packets to
a media relay device or a media proxy device.  Obviously if Alice
or Bob have a NAT in front of them, you'll be sending the packets
to the NAT, but that isn't avoidable.

Unfortunately my SPEERMINT presentation poorly represented the value
of -wing-session-auth to the SPEERMINT working group.  

The draft (and my presentation) describes how you might use media
session authorization to completely deny UDP packets to or from an
endpoint.  That is the common firewall policy at many enterprises.  Of
course, for an ISP offering Internet connectivity, dropping UDP
packets to or from an endpoint is not their standard policy.  Instead,
their standard policy is to permit such packets.  Such an ISP may
additionally wish to offer better QoS on the access link for UDP flows
that are associated with flows that are signaled -- such as flows
signaled  via the mechanism described in -wing-session-policy.

Thank you for reviewing my I-D and seeing the applicability of this 
technology to peering.

Hello,

I've been reading "reqs and terminology" and I would like to step back
and ask some questions about some of the definitions.


Peering:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

In layer 3 peering two routers exchange their routing tables, reach a
steady state, and after that data packets can flow between the two
domains.

Layer 5 peering means, "interconnection of two service providers for the
purposes of SIP signaling".=20

Making the inevitable comparison with layer 3 peering, there are some
fundamental differences that I'm trying to reconcile.

1) In a traditional (a.k.a. layer 3) peering, both routers exchange all
necessary routing information and enter a steady state. At this point,
no other routes are exchanged and routers concentrate on forwarding
packets.

I know the WG is in the beginning, but it is not clear to me what pieces
are needed for an equivalent functionality. For example:

1) Are the entities exchanging SIP signaling for the purpose of peering
doing so on a _per call_ basis?  Is there going to be some mechanism to
exchange such information in bulk such as in a routing protocol? Maybe
based on domain names or something similar?

2) The draft states that " A
   domain's ingress point can be thought of as the location pointed to
   by the SRV record that resulted from the resolution of the CRD (i.e.,
   a SIP URI)."

So, it seems to me that although the "layer 5 peering" is happening
between the two entities exchanging SIP signaling, the peering point
discovery is a result of a SRV query. But the draft also states that "
SPEERMINT Working Group is focused on the use of such CRD."

Draft peering-policy states that " This documents proposes the use of
DNS entries to publish a SIP proxy's policy for accepting incoming
calls" proposes DNS as a way of exchange polices.

This begs the question of what are the two "peering" entities really
doing besides exchange traditional SIP signaling? It seems the real
_information peering_ (for the lack of a better term) is happening
between DNS servers. All important information related to "peering" is
coming from a DNS server which might as well be on your own domain (if
your exchange DNS information).=20

In summary, it seems to me the whole architecture is quite a departure
from layer 3 peering where the entities peering are the holders of the
necessary information to allow data packets to flow. Here the entities
peering publish their peering information to third party server which
does the actual "peering" (exchange inter-domain information).


Anyway, the idea of the mail is to try to clarify things. There is much
emphasis on SIP but it seems DNS plays a more central role. Or maybe
some SIP extension will be made to exchange peering policies?


Policies and Independence of lower layers:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

It seems sections 5.5 and 5.6 are _somewhat_ conflicting. Today BGP
exchange QoS and VPN information, performs discovery, etc. This implies
that BGP indirectly (or directly) knows the capabilities of the
transport layer (thus the name capability negotiation).

So, although the mechanism to exchange the actual policies needs to be
independent of the lower layers, there needs to be a way to input lower
layer information into the devices exchanging the policies. Just like
BGP has filters and priorities based on a myriad of options. So, maybe
the wording should change a little.

As far as 5.6 goes, it seems to me the policies can be quite complex.
The experience of BGP tells us that in the end policies can be huge. So,
if policies are going to be huge, what draft dds-00 states as a
possibility=20

" If the simple boolean logic and the limited space in the DNS answers
   are insufficient for an application then a type of policy rule URIs
   can be defined which links to policy statements written in a fully
   featured policy description language like SAML [14] or XACML [15]."

will actually going to be the rule. So, this begs the question of DNS is
a good choice to publish peering policies.=20

Thanks,

Reinaldo

Hi all,
=20
Thank you Reinaldo for opening up the discussion on peering and =
interconnect,
after the shocked quiet period after the meeting ;-)
=20
I agree with you that we have to step back (maybe even two steps) after =
this
Speermint meeting and reconsider what we want to achieve.
=20
Lets reconsider what we are talking about:
=20
Speermint is primarily about interconnecting sip proxies at L5
the L5 in SIP is a location service
=20
two SP have the task to find out for their users (customers) the
IP addresses to allow them to establish a session and finally
exchange IP packets on L3.
=20
We also could define this in another way: a SP is giving out
to their customers a public user identity, in SIP also called
an Address-of-Record. Note the term PUBLIC.
=20
If I get a public user identity from a SP, I assume to be able to give =
this
to somebody else and he/she is able to reach me via a public
communications network (note that I do not mention here
the Internet, also a walled garden network such as Vonage
is a public communications network)- Ok they are not giving out AoRs
=20
So if I use this public user identity in any other public "network"
accepting SIP URIs (in the definition of Speermint) or with any other=20
SP providing services for the public, I assume to be able to reach the
user having this public user identity. And speermint is only talking
about peering or interconnecting with SIP URIs (E.164 numbers
need first to be translated to SIP URIs (AoRs)
=20
The originating SP has NO CHOICE other then to Interconnect
on L5 with the termination SP. We can do these games with
"peering", "peering federations", etc. only as long as there
is another choice, e.g. the PSTN for voice calls.
=20
The terminating SP has a monopoly (or in EU terms, he
has Significant Market Power (SMP) (which may imply
some remidies, such as the requirement to interconnect!

The terminating SP may reject incoming calls, but only
on behalf (or by order) of the end-user. not on his own.
=20
the terminating SP may belong to a federation or even more
then one, but this is only shifting the problem, because then
the SMP (monopoly) moves then to the federation.
=20
A federation MAY be used for additional policies such as
ADDITIONAL provision of end-to-end QoS or special peering
(direct links on L3), but IMHO a call set-up via plain SIP may never
be rejected, because of the originator has no other choice.
=20
What could (should) be done by Speermint is defining a minimum
set of requirements (profile) which are required to interconnect,
(e.g. TLS, some level of certificates, asserted user identities, etc.)
but if these are met, a terminating SP provider must accept a call
in principle (the end-user may reject it finally, e.g. not accepting =
calls
from .biz or or from sip:dan@example.com or whatever)
=20
I have something similar as the profile between SP and PBX in mind
as created by the SIPForum.
=20
If Speermint has achieved this, it may move on to more complicated=20
stuff, such as peering policy agreements providing additional SLAs
eg on L3.
=20
The either we want to enable a public communications network
(and I cannot imagine something else in IETF) or not. If
not Speermint is out of scope as a whole.
=20
regards
=20
Richard

Hello,

I've been reading "reqs and terminology" and I would like to step back
and ask some questions about some of the definitions.


Peering:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

In layer 3 peering two routers exchange their routing tables, reach a
steady state, and after that data packets can flow between the two
domains.

Layer 5 peering means, "interconnection of two service providers for the
purposes of SIP signaling".

Making the inevitable comparison with layer 3 peering, there are some
fundamental differences that I'm trying to reconcile.

1) In a traditional (a.k.a. layer 3) peering, both routers exchange all
necessary routing information and enter a steady state. At this point,
no other routes are exchanged and routers concentrate on forwarding
packets.

I know the WG is in the beginning, but it is not clear to me what pieces
are needed for an equivalent functionality. For example:

1) Are the entities exchanging SIP signaling for the purpose of peering
doing so on a _per call_ basis?  Is there going to be some mechanism to
exchange such information in bulk such as in a routing protocol? Maybe
based on domain names or something similar?

2) The draft states that " A
   domain's ingress point can be thought of as the location pointed to
   by the SRV record that resulted from the resolution of the CRD (i.e.,
   a SIP URI)."

So, it seems to me that although the "layer 5 peering" is happening
between the two entities exchanging SIP signaling, the peering point
discovery is a result of a SRV query. But the draft also states that "
SPEERMINT Working Group is focused on the use of such CRD."

Draft peering-policy states that " This documents proposes the use of
DNS entries to publish a SIP proxy's policy for accepting incoming
calls" proposes DNS as a way of exchange polices.

This begs the question of what are the two "peering" entities really
doing besides exchange traditional SIP signaling? It seems the real
_information peering_ (for the lack of a better term) is happening
between DNS servers. All important information related to "peering" is
coming from a DNS server which might as well be on your own domain (if
your exchange DNS information).

In summary, it seems to me the whole architecture is quite a departure
from layer 3 peering where the entities peering are the holders of the
necessary information to allow data packets to flow. Here the entities
peering publish their peering information to third party server which
does the actual "peering" (exchange inter-domain information).


Anyway, the idea of the mail is to try to clarify things. There is much
emphasis on SIP but it seems DNS plays a more central role. Or maybe
some SIP extension will be made to exchange peering policies?


Policies and Independence of lower layers:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

It seems sections 5.5 and 5.6 are _somewhat_ conflicting. Today BGP
exchange QoS and VPN information, performs discovery, etc. This implies
that BGP indirectly (or directly) knows the capabilities of the
transport layer (thus the name capability negotiation).

So, although the mechanism to exchange the actual policies needs to be
independent of the lower layers, there needs to be a way to input lower
layer information into the devices exchanging the policies. Just like
BGP has filters and priorities based on a myriad of options. So, maybe
the wording should change a little.

As far as 5.6 goes, it seems to me the policies can be quite complex.
The experience of BGP tells us that in the end policies can be huge. So,
if policies are going to be huge, what draft dds-00 states as a
possibility

" If the simple boolean logic and the limited space in the DNS answers
   are insufficient for an application then a type of policy rule URIs
   can be defined which links to policy statements written in a fully
   featured policy description language like SAML [14] or XACML [15]."

will actually going to be the rule. So, this begs the question of DNS is
a good choice to publish peering policies.

Thanks,

Reinaldo

Hi Reinaldo

I am not sure the goal of SPEERMINT is to recreate L3 peering at L5. The =
problem being solved is different in that L3 peering is always with a =
fixed number of neighbors. These are stored as you mention in static =
routing tables at each node and do not change from call to call. In =
contrast, L5 peering is not necessarily static (unless you are talking =
about a federation model). The destination is chosen only when the call =
is made and may be to a peer that a given service provider/domain =
administrator/node has never spoken to before.=20

Assuming DNS is used to find the peering node, the query is made on a =
call by call basis. Now clearly, this DNS info can be cached at the =
originating node but the cache still has a very different nature than =
that of an L3 routing table.

Policy is an entirely different issue (as is the case in L3) and it is =
important to separate it out from the routing issue. The draft you =
mention about pushing policy via DNS is dealing with one out of many =
possible topologies - namely that of ad hoc federations. There was very =
little discussion about policy at IETF 65 as the foundations of L5 =
routing need to be cemented before the higher level policy issues can be =
addressed.

Cheers,

David

Hello David,

Thanks for reading my lengthy email. Just to clarify things, I'm not =
really advocating the recreation of the layer 3 peering model.=20

I was raising some questions based on the experience acquired on more =
than 30 years of layer 3 peering. I understand they are different =
problems (but they sure also have similarities).=20

During these 30 or so years of layer 3 peering and BGP, very similar =
discussions already happened with just the names changed. "What if a new =
peer/router comes along?", "Can we perform policy routing on a packet by =
packet basis?", "Where BGP policies will come from?", "What if I want to =
filter some packets based on 5-tuple?", etc, etc. You can change the =
names to SIP, Proxy, DNS, and the questions become very similar.

So, more to your email, although theoretically you can have any number =
of VoIP peers (just like Layer 3 peers) it _seems_ to me based on =
interconnection agreements and others, their identities and number will =
be well known since configurations will need to be made (DNS, Sip =
Proxies, etc, etc) before hand. So, although a call to a certain service =
provider domain might never happen, all configurations must be in place =
for that to happen. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Just like two layer 3 peers might exchange routing tables but never =
actually see a data packet for a while.=20

It begs the question why the two entities exchanging SIP signaling do =
not exchange policy information themselves through some SIP =
extension/new protocol/<some name> and the role played by DNS. I'm not =
advocating this model but it seems a pertinent question.=20

Regards,

Reinaldo

Hi Richard,

I think this is the wrong assumption given P2P SIP. Why can't the user
have a unique public user identity and it not be linked to the SP at all
(The SP may not be a VoIP SP).

>=20

I think we should use this to set the minimum scope given the amount of
confusion in the WG at this point. This can actually be done and I
believe will be useful.

I think peering in L3 must be basic, given how fundamental L3 is to the =
internet. For SIP, TRIP provides functionality similar to BGP (only for =
phone numbers though, I think).

In my opinion, SIP peering ought to follow the email model. Once =
location is done and basic requirements are satisfied at the SIP layer =
(like identity etc), the call should be routable. As Richard said in the =
earlier email, the destination SP may still reject or challenge the call =
if it lacks either the basic requirements we agree to in the WG or some =
extra requirements specific to the termination SP (Core-T in my ID). The =
challenge is that in some cases there are going to be IXPs =
(Interconnects) which sit in the middle due to commercial or regulatory =
reasons. The location of an IXP, the provisioning of this IXP and the =
Core-T SP are the architectural problems which this WG needs to solve as =
well.

-Medhavi.

Hello,

I tend to agree that the email model sounds attractive except the delay =
and business requirements of email and VoIP are quire different.

Email is not delay sensitive, does not require any type of =
prioritization and is not charged (or at least it wasn't).

VoIP is exactly the opposite. VoIP (signaling and media) are delay =
sensitive, need prioritization and will be billed. =20

I believe a call to a public number is (or should) always going to be =
routable. I guess my main question is: is the general belief that VoIP =
providers will just configure their proxy servers to talk to each other =
in an email type model? No business agreements similar to PSTN/Wireless, =
no charging, no extra billing for "roaming", etc? =20

My reply to David's email was more to the idea that you can install a =
proxy server somewhere, point the "MX" to the next upstream "proxy =
server" and be done with it? As VoIP takes off wouldn't some basic =
regulatory issues, numbering schemes and others prevent such behavior?=20

These are not rhetoric questions; I really do not know the answer.

Regards,

Reinaldo

Good point. What we need is to separate the problem of peering into at =
least two parts: terminating the call and the traffic itself (data =
part). The email model applies only to the termination part.

>=20

I agree those are issues. It would be good if we can work out something =
which is generic (compared to IMS/PSTN specific). Maybe they are out of =
scope since we are dealing with protocol and architecture issues in the =
WG. The only aspect billing and roaming affect is that if all technical =
requirements (e.g the ones this WG specifies) are satisfied, the peer =
could still reject traffic (w/o consulting the destination user, in =
Richard's terms) if the commercial relationship does not exist. I think =
this is what hampers connectivity today. All these commercial =
relationships exist because SPs want to be layer 5 aware (they cannot =
seem to find a way to evolve their business models otherwise... :), =
where only the origination SP (Core-O) and Core-T need to have a =
commercial relationship. The roaming aspect again may be quite =
artificial and could be questionable going forward...  Just my personal =
comments.

Hi Medhavi,

Good point, but there are more issues in one:

1. re: P2P SIP
As I understood the P2P SIP BoF, one of the most feasible models
in P2P SIP is that P2P domains interconnect with each other using
SIP proxy peers and normal client-server SIP and DNS SRV RR=20
(RFC3263) to interwork. Therefore the global identities (AoRs)
used will be sip:unique-user-within-p2p@p2pnetwork.net

2. re: user owned public user identity
a. a user may run his own SIP server, and act as his own SP
this has not been excluded in the speermint charter. IMHO he
should be able to do so as long as he fulfils the minimum
requirements.

b. a user may also host his sip:user@domain.net with a SP
this is BTW a MUST for enterprises (as it has been requested
from ECMA at TISPAN for IMS. This will (or is already) causing
a lot of headaches, especially if you use domain certificates
e.g. for TLS and also certified user identities.  This is
definitely a must for spearmint to look at and create some
kind of BCP.

Cheers

Richard

Hmmm, I think it is even more complicated.

Terminology:

Billing is between end-users and a SP (out of scope in spearmint)
Accounting is between SP (in scope of spearmint?)
Tariffing is the calculation of a charge for using a certain
resource for a certain amount of time.

I consider it also paradox that we are discussing accounting
and charging, particularly termination charges (fees)=20
1. in a time even in the PSTN issues are moving to bill-and-keep
2. on an inappropriate layer (L5)

A substantial part of the problems with VoIP peering derives
not from trust, QoS, SPIT, etc. problems, but simply how
to keep up the existing regime of termination fees.

Especially mobile operators make a living on this.

Where is this problem coming from on the PSTN?
(Lets for a moment forget problems caused by reverse
charging)

In the PSTN there was originally an accounting regime
based on cascading. The O-SP bills the O-user for the
call (based on distance), and keeping part of it and=20
paying out part to the next (transit) SP.=20
This goes on until the destination
(T-SP) is reached, which also gets a share.

The implicit assumptions here are: the originator has
the benefit of the call and also call set-up is in one direction
and call signalling and the mediastream is traversing all
networks in question.

This principle is only broken with call forwarding and also
with mobile roaming. In the US also the mobile T-user pays
air-time, not so in Europe, hence the problems with mobile NP

Note: in my remark to my previous post on terminating network
monopoly (SMP), one may consider the termination fee also
as a compensation for the remedy that a terminating network
MUST accept any call.

This regime was quite simple, but was more and more
complicated over time by burdening it with additional
issues such as subsidies, etc. as it is currently in the US.


What does this imply now for VoIP peering or interconnect

VoIP; RTC and IP separate signalling (L5) from transport (L3)
It also separates the SP from the access
Now taking into account some facts:

1. Although SIP signalling (call set-up) is directed
from O to T, the mediastream is both ways and symmetric
(so much for Whitacre, he may eventually blame Google
Video, but not VoIP providers)

2. The cost for the mediastream is moving more and
more to the ends (access), even in the PSTN (see the
latest OFCOM report on distance gradients), and the
access is already paid in some way or the other
by the end-users.

3. So why is it necessary to charge termination fees
to the O-user at all for SIGNALLING?

There is one issue where termination fees may
apply (although this is going away also - e.g.
Voipbuster): if you connect to the PSTN.

But this is out of scope in Speermint and in
addition solutions exist here since years.

My recommendation is that as long as speermint
is dealing with L5 peering only, accounting
i.e. termination fees should not be dealt with.

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard,

1. Your point about the possible relevance for SPEERMINT's scope of =
accounting requirements, and not billing requirements, is well-taken and =
will be reflected clearly in the next rev of the Requirements BCP draft.

2. Wrt your comment:  "3. So why is it necessary to charge termination =
fees to the O-user at all for SIGNALLING?":
Might it not be true that some applications of value to the user might =
involve signaling only, and not media per se?  (I am thinking of certain =
presence and notification apps...?)

Cheers,
BobN

Hmmm, I think it is even more complicated.

(Lets for a moment forget problems caused by reverse

This goes on until the destination

What does this imply now for VoIP peering or interconnect

VoIP; RTC and IP separate signalling (L5) from transport (L3) It also =

the end-users.

3. So why is it necessary to charge termination fees to the O-user at =
all for SIGNALLING?

There is one issue where termination fees may apply (although this is =
going away also - e.g.
Voipbuster): if you connect to the PSTN.

But this is out of scope in Speermint and in addition solutions exist =
here since years.

My recommendation is that as long as speermint is dealing with L5 =
peering only, accounting i.e. termination fees should not be dealt with.

Cheers

Richard

Thanks for bringing this up, because I forgot to
mention one very important issue in my elaboration:

SIP is a session initiation protocol (!), end2end

Therefore it is up to the end-user may decide what kind of
application they use to communicate, voice, video, IM, etc.
they also may change the media during communication.

This is negotiated in the message body

So how can the proxy at L5 signalling layers be involved
in L3 charging if he does not (need to) know what kind
of resources will be required at the access and transport
layers, so how they can charge?

This is even recognized in the 3GPP IMS architecture
- see Camarillo/Garcia-Martin - The 3G IMS, in section
4.7 Message body page 63 - for the avoidance of doubt:

"An important property of bodies is that they are transmitted
end to end. This is, proxies do not need to parse the message
body in order to route the message. In fact, the user agents
may choose to encrypt the contents of the message body end to end.
In this case, proxies would not even be able to tell which type
of session is being established between both user
agents."

Although they seem to have completely forgotten this some
sections later when the describe in section 7.4 the=20
IMS accounting architecture.

So I wonder ...

Cheers

Richard

What does that change?

IMO it makes sense to charge for services actually rendered, and not for 
services the SP isn't involved in but wishes they could get some revenue 
from.

The terminating proxy does render some identifiable services that could 
potentially be charged for:
- supplying the AOR
- processing (routing) requests to the AOR

These are of value precisely because they eliminate the need for the end 
user to keep a UA online at all times, and because it permits the end 
user to dynamically associate UAs with the AOR, by providing a 
potentially recognized and trusted domain.

This doesn't seem like stuff that justifies per-use charging, and the 
amount of charging that can be extracted for these basic services is 
probably limited, but its something.

If an SP wants to charge more, then they will have to provide more 
services - ones that users are interested in paying for.

Hi Paul,

I'm not interested in charging (in the billing sense) wrt SPEERMINT, and =
I don't presume to prejudge what SPs will attempt to charge (bill) for =
in the future.  (I expect to be negatively surprised. :)

However, my point was that:
- Pure signaling apps are likely to become more prevalent and more =
valuable;
Therefore,
- SPEERMINT may need to cover the *accounting* requirements for such =
traffic at all relevant points in the SPEERMINT peering architecture =
(which is yet to be defined by this WG).

Cheers,
BobN

What does that change?

IMO it makes sense to charge for services actually rendered, and not for =
services the SP isn't involved in but wishes they could get some revenue =
from.

The terminating proxy does render some identifiable services that could =
potentially be charged for:
- supplying the AOR
- processing (routing) requests to the AOR

These are of value precisely because they eliminate the need for the end =
user to keep a UA online at all times, and because it permits the end =
user to dynamically associate UAs with the AOR, by providing a =
potentially recognized and trusted domain.

This doesn't seem like stuff that justifies per-use charging, and the =
amount of charging that can be extracted for these basic services is =
probably limited, but its something.

If an SP wants to charge more, then they will have to provide more =
services - ones that users are interested in paying for.

Agree with your intent, I believe.  SPEERMINT is chartered (wrt
Requirements at least) to come with a BCP.  So we will have to deal with
"policies and operations" relating to accounting (and other applicable
topics).  If by "definition of...e.g., protocols, MIBs" you mean
"identification" of them, yes, that's a possibility.

> so some form of usage accounting is needed at the points where they

For sure.

Cheers,

It's not impossible that the signaling channel provide services
independent of (or possibly in addition to) establishment of media
streams.  Anybody remember fast-select in X.25?  If signaling were free
you can bet people would invent ways to use it.  Or, would you rather
the network filter the SDP to prevent piggybacking of user data?  :-)

I don't think the WG needs to delve deeply into where, when, why or how
much operators charge each other.  But we do need to make some sort of
assumption, if for example we're to facilitate their interconnection
through definition of supporting structures (e.g., protocols, MIBs).  I
thought that was Richard's point.

The O-SP bills the O-user for the call (based on distance), and keeping
part of it and paying out part to the next (transit) SP.=20

Maybe somewhere it worked like that.  In the US the transit provider
(inter-exchange provider) bills the O-user directly.  Which makes it
necessary to collect usage data on a call by call basis, in the long
distance network. =20

The Internet of course adopts a more scalable model in which
interconnected ISPs charge each other based on traffic volume (rather
than trying to account for individual flows).  But the point is they do
charge each other, or at least they sometimes do, so some form of usage
accounting is needed at the points where they interconnect.

IMHO you are making an assumption here or drawing a conclusion that "L5 =
peering"
is fully analogue to L3 peering or interconnection on the PSTN:

the hint is in the term "traffic will be exchanged". In both of the =
above
mentioned cases really "traffic" is exchanged.=20

In our case on L5 only SIP messages are exchanged. If really (media) =
traffic is exchanged
how much and via which path depends on various other issues such as:
do the end users really set up a media session, how are they connected =
to
the Internet, or are they connected at all.
=20
Example: I am in a hotel in New York and register to a provider in =
Germany
(I have no idea where the servers are located, could be in Poland), I =
set
up a session to a friend registered to a SP in Australia, =
sip:vince@prov.au
having his (one of) his servers
located in Japan, to find out that my friend is located in the same =
hotel in New York,
We both pay 10 bucks to the hotel for a day of unlimted Internet access.
=20
How his thid "traffic exchanged" and who needs bilateral peering =
agreements
and who gets paid what?

In the above case; who is an operator requiring predefined bilateral
peering agreements that I may call my friend in the hotel and get some
additional money to the 20 bucks we already paid?

Or may I call my friend only if per chance both of us hit the checkpot
that our "providers" have a bilateral agreement or are in the same =
federation?

=20
I do not need an dynamic exchange of "L5 routing information"
the L5 routing information is given by sip:vince@prov.au
there is no matrix, there is only ONE destination provider
prov.au, no choice.

Are you talking here SIP or RTP packets?

A SIP invite is sent from my UA to my proxy, the proxy is looking
up prov.au for SRV records, eventually selecting the server in Japan;
resolving the IP address and sending the SIP packet there, etc

The media stream may not even leave the hotel

Aha, so to improve QoS within the hotel, we are using managed networks
from New York to Poland to Japan, back to New York. this helps?

If the LAN is the hotel is congested, you are doomed in either case

Please leave this to 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN.

Again look at TISPAN RACS and NACS

QoS can only be done at call time - this is called Trunk Busy by =

Hmmm, I think it is even more complicated.

Terminology:

Billing is between end-users and a SP (out of scope in spearmint) =
Accounting
is between SP (in scope of spearmint?) Tariffing is the calculation of a
charge for using a certain resource for a certain amount of time.

I consider it also paradox that we are discussing accounting and =
charging,
particularly termination charges (fees) 1. in a time even in the PSTN =
issues
are moving to bill-and-keep 2. on an inappropriate layer (L5)

A substantial part of the problems with VoIP peering derives not from =
trust,
QoS, SPIT, etc. problems, but simply how to keep up the existing regime =
of
termination fees.

Especially mobile operators make a living on this.

Where is this problem coming from on the PSTN?
(Lets for a moment forget problems caused by reverse
charging)

In the PSTN there was originally an accounting regime based on =
cascading.
The O-SP bills the O-user for the call (based on distance), and keeping =
part
of it and paying out part to the next (transit) SP.
This goes on until the destination
(T-SP) is reached, which also gets a share.

The implicit assumptions here are: the originator has the benefit of the
call and also call set-up is in one direction and call signalling and =
the
mediastream is traversing all networks in question.

This principle is only broken with call forwarding and also with mobile
roaming. In the US also the mobile T-user pays air-time, not so in =
Europe,
hence the problems with mobile NP

Note: in my remark to my previous post on terminating network monopoly
(SMP), one may consider the termination fee also as a compensation for =
the
remedy that a terminating network MUST accept any call.

This regime was quite simple, but was more and more complicated over =
time by
burdening it with additional issues such as subsidies, etc. as it is
currently in the US.


What does this imply now for VoIP peering or interconnect

VoIP; RTC and IP separate signalling (L5) from transport (L3) It also
separates the SP from the access Now taking into account some facts:

1. Although SIP signalling (call set-up) is directed from O to T, the
mediastream is both ways and symmetric (so much for Whitacre, he may
eventually blame Google Video, but not VoIP providers)

2. The cost for the mediastream is moving more and more to the ends
(access), even in the PSTN (see the latest OFCOM report on distance
gradients), and the access is already paid in some way or the other by =
the
end-users.

3. So why is it necessary to charge termination fees to the O-user at =
all
for SIGNALLING?

There is one issue where termination fees may apply (although this is =
going
away also - e.g.
Voipbuster): if you connect to the PSTN.

But this is out of scope in Speermint and in addition solutions exist =
here
since years.

My recommendation is that as long as speermint is dealing with L5 =
peering
only, accounting i.e. termination fees should not be dealt with.

Cheers

Richard

This is a critical element for the Speermint charter.

Are we dealing with public user identities in the meaning

What I see right now is that some big service providers

* give customers telephone numbers (as their _public_ identity)
* use SIP AoRs internally.

[The same is true for a lot of corporate PBX systems: Internally they
use SIP but all communication with the outside world is done via the PSTN.]

The drafts I wrote are targetted at that setting. They assume
that we start with zero IP-based interconnection. Calls between
different service providers may be possible over the PSTN,
but universal connectivity based on SIP AoRs is *not* assumed.

I try to offer a path to do better than this 0% IP-based
interconnection. Universal reachability on SIP basis may be
a goal, but not reaching it isn't failure. *Any* SIP-based
interconnection is progress if you start at 0%.

On the other hand, if we're assuming that the SIP AoRs are PUBLIC, 
then I wonder what real world problem Speermint is supposed to solve. 
Basic interconnection is very well specified by the relevant SIP RFCs.
There is hardly any work to do. Maybe some L3 interactions to
enhance QoS. Maybe some SIP profiles.

Maybe we should ask ourselves who will implement the results
of the Speermint WG. Who are our "customers"? What are their assumptions
and what issues need to be addressed so that they will agree to
use our work? And why aren't the current SIP RFCs enough for them?

I'd really appreciate consensus on that question.

As I pointed out earlier BCP setting minimum requiremnets

I also still see your policy draft useful for additional

This is a critical element for the Speermint charter.

Are we dealing with public user identities in the meaning

[[Reinaldo]]=20

Okay, I understand there is an issue of problem scoping here....but in
the real world, is there of _any_ use that your phone ring but you
cannot talk or hear anything?=20

I mean, is the WG focused only on "enabling" SIP messages to be
exchanged between two domains? Isn't that based on some commercial
agreement that as a consequence will enable the two operators to
manually configure the necessary devices?=20

Yes, the devices in the network "know" how to send and process DNS
queries/replies, but lots of manual configuration will be needed before
that. Or is our goal to enable plug-and-play VoIP peering? Because that
seems a whole different game.

As for media, I'm not saying we should try to solve media path issues,
but what is the WG stance on this? "Hey, your phone just rang, be glad
for that. That's where our work ends". Aren't there consequences based
on the fact that media and signaling take different paths?

I guess I'm still struggling with the problem the WG is trying to solve.


Thanks,

Reinaldo

>I guess I'm still struggling with the problem the WG is trying to =
solve.

I think we all do

I have to admit that my example with the New York Hotel was
of course provokative and also stating the obvoius, or as Otmar
pointed out: it is all there in the RFCs and what speermint may
add is some BCPs and minimum reqiurements

Why I did this?

Because I know about the other extreme model:
It is the GSMA model for peering of mobile operators
within 3GPP: GSMA is the club of mobile operators

They plan that every operator is running SIP in a private=20
10.x.x.x network. A user may either be connected directly
to this network or may VPN into it.

All mobile operators interconnect to a commonly operated
extranet (not (yet) connected to the Internet) which is callex IPX
and an evolution of the existing GPX network currently used for GPRS
Roaming. The ENUM database and also other DNS domains are
provided within the IPX ( basically a managed Internet2).

BTW, the DNS root of this network is run by Neustar.

This works fine for all operators connected to this network, but
the question remains, how does the GSMA operators interwork
with say the cable operators or the fixed operators?

Two options exist:
1. cable operators and fixed operators create their
own clubs, and agree to peer with GSMA via a super IPX

2. All others are joining the GSMA club (GSMA is working
on a proposal.

Minor problem: the others still do not even have a club to negotiate
e.g. TISPAN (the fixed operators) has still no clue which way to go
The cable operators are currently doing something in between using
private peering fabrics e.g. Xconnect (e.g. in NL)

And VoIP providers on the Internet are left behind

There is also another problem: an end-device connected
such a network (either direct or via VPN) must have two
separate IP stacks, if it also still wants to be connected to
the Internet. Same is valid for an enterprise connected
to a IMS VOIP provider. There is one stack for communications
via IMS and another one for communications within the
company and to the public Internet. The two may not be connected
bcause then the security of the walled garden s compromised. This
implies that you may e.g. not lauch a voip call via Outlook from the =
corporate
exchange server easily, only via complicated indirect portals on
the Internet.

What I want to state here is: for doing so, they do not need speermint
either, they have already defined this and implementing it

So one question remains: is there something in between the
open Internet model and the closed IPX model?

The finaly decision between these models will of course be
done by the customer. The customer will have the option
on his device which stack to use.

This may be some ground for speermint

cheers

Richard

Okay, I understand there is an issue of problem scoping here....but in
the real world, is there of _any_ use that your phone ring but you
cannot talk or hear anything?

I mean, is the WG focused only on "enabling" SIP messages to be
exchanged between two domains? Isn't that based on some commercial
agreement that as a consequence will enable the two operators to
manually configure the necessary devices?

Yes, the devices in the network "know" how to send and process DNS
queries/replies, but lots of manual configuration will be needed before
that. Or is our goal to enable plug-and-play VoIP peering? Because that
seems a whole different game.

As for media, I'm not saying we should try to solve media path issues,
but what is the WG stance on this? "Hey, your phone just rang, be glad
for that. That's where our work ends". Aren't there consequences based
on the fact that media and signaling take different paths?

I guess I'm still struggling with the problem the WG is trying to solve.


Thanks,

Reinaldo

I probably should have written "IP-based Interconnection for voice calls". 
The problem isn't that any of those service providers isn't connected
to the Internet, the problem is that they refuse to use their
Internet connection (or even a private IP link) for VoIP interconnection 
with other server providers.

In the case of Vonage, they do use the public Internet as their
access network. So basic IP connectivity isn't the issue. It's getting
their SIP border elements to talk to each other. And in that respect
I guess it's more a business decision than a technical one.

So the IETF protocol police will hunt down those closed network
operators and force them to open up their border elements?

Or are we going to give those operators tools with which they
can selectively open up their networks?

IMHO we need to break through this all-or-nothing dilemma.

Unless you get regulators to force all VoIP service providers
to accept all SIP calls from anybody, none of the big ones
will choose to open up their network.

That SIPforum draft has a very different fundamental assumption:

* IP-PBX and SIP service provider enter a contractual relationship.
  
  One part of that relationship is an agreement on the technical details
  of their interconnection (i.e. the sibley document). 
  If things don't work out there are the usual dispute resolution 
  mechanisms (i.e. courts) which can deal with these problems.

Contrast that to (using the universal connectivity assumption):

* As anybody must be able to place a call over the public Internet,
  there need not be a contractual relationship between originating
  and terminating network. The terminating side doesn't even know
  who the originating side is. We're in e-mail land here.

If you want universal SIP connectivity AND contractual relationships
between peering/interconnection partners, then you need transit
networks. That way lies either PSTN version 2 (The IP version), or
you replicate the BGP model at the SIP layer.

I see your point
=20
but finally there needs to be global connectivity and reachability
=20
How can this be achieved?
=20
We both agree that bilateral agreements do not scale, and it is
also not aceptable by the end-users that reachability is a patchwork
=20
the default via the PSTN is also not an option, at least for speermint
-it works only with e.164 numbers
-it works only for a very limited set of applications (vioce)
-it works only as long as the PSTN is there
=20
The next step is "transit networks on L5" aka federations
This is better then bilateral agreements, but also a patchwork

so we need something above the federations to allow
them to interwork i.e. eventually even a hierarchy or a circle
of trust. This is theoretically possible, but did not work in PKI
=20
BTW, what was before the e-mail system (with all its weakness)
Compuserve, aol and company mail, I can also dimly remember
that there was for a short time e-mail gateways between them
=20
And finally your proposal contains also the . policy ;-)
=20
cheers

Even with universal connectivity -- there remains a problem. Are VoIP
interconnect reciprocal values congruent with best efforts reciprocal
values.

Lets look at Layer 3 IP Networks for a quick analogy...

With IP networks, network owners can decide how their network will be used
by controlling what BGP4 Updates they will send out, and which they will
accept. Thus, network owners can control how their network gets used.

Last time I checked, IP Network owners do not like to see their network used
(even for best efforts) when they don't get reciprocal value. Thus, many
network owners manage their bi-lateral peering arrangements to exclude their
network being used by accidental 3rd parties. 

The NAP providers of course are the route of last resort for many network
owners when they must send packets to locations where there is no reciprocal
exchange.

Overlaying a VoIP interconnection based on SIP URI's (resolved using ENUM)
will follow these 'default' paths established for best efforts. But this
assumes that the value exchanges at the borders for best efforts and VoIP
are identical. This is of course not true. IP Interconnects and VoIP
interconnects will have dissimilar values for all parties.

I think it is quite likely that many best effort relationships between large
and small carriers with inadequate reciprocal value for free IP peering,
will have very good reciprocal value for VoIP peering.

Also consider the case of a strong VoIP carrier wanting to connect for voice
with other large VoIP networks, but not really wanting to change or modify
the way their best efforts packet agreements that are working today. 

If these two types of services do not have identical reciprocal values at
each border, then it is unlikely that the utilization of 'natural routing'
techniques will work.

I think the biggest concern is that a VoIP network will get used for best
efforts by accident, and that a best efforts IP peering arrangement will get

used for VoIP exchanges accidentally.

Techniques for filtering or dropping unwanted packets at borders will not
work as a technique, because the best efforts services will fail. 

There exists a "route by service" problem.

I see your point
 
but finally there needs to be global connectivity and reachability
 
How can this be achieved?
 
We both agree that bilateral agreements do not scale, and it is
also not aceptable by the end-users that reachability is a patchwork
 
the default via the PSTN is also not an option, at least for speermint
-it works only with e.164 numbers
-it works only for a very limited set of applications (vioce)
-it works only as long as the PSTN is there
 
The next step is "transit networks on L5" aka federations
This is better then bilateral agreements, but also a patchwork

so we need something above the federations to allow
them to interwork i.e. eventually even a hierarchy or a circle
of trust. This is theoretically possible, but did not work in PKI
 
BTW, what was before the e-mail system (with all its weakness)
Compuserve, aol and company mail, I can also dimly remember
that there was for a short time e-mail gateways between them
 
And finally your proposal contains also the . policy ;-)
 
cheers

I probably should have written "IP-based Interconnection for voice calls".
The problem isn't that any of those service providers isn't connected
to the Internet, the problem is that they refuse to use their
Internet connection (or even a private IP link) for VoIP interconnection
with other server providers.

In the case of Vonage, they do use the public Internet as their
access network. So basic IP connectivity isn't the issue. It's getting
their SIP border elements to talk to each other. And in that respect
I guess it's more a business decision than a technical one.

So the IETF protocol police will hunt down those closed network
operators and force them to open up their border elements?

Or are we going to give those operators tools with which they
can selectively open up their networks?

IMHO we need to break through this all-or-nothing dilemma.

Unless you get regulators to force all VoIP service providers
to accept all SIP calls from anybody, none of the big ones
will choose to open up their network.

That SIPforum draft has a very different fundamental assumption:

* IP-PBX and SIP service provider enter a contractual relationship.
 
  One part of that relationship is an agreement on the technical details
  of their interconnection (i.e. the sibley document).
  If things don't work out there are the usual dispute resolution
  mechanisms (i.e. courts) which can deal with these problems.

Contrast that to (using the universal connectivity assumption):

* As anybody must be able to place a call over the public Internet,
  there need not be a contractual relationship between originating
  and terminating network. The terminating side doesn't even know
  who the originating side is. We're in e-mail land here.

If you want universal SIP connectivity AND contractual relationships
between peering/interconnection partners, then you need transit
networks. That way lies either PSTN version 2 (The IP version), or
you replicate the BGP model at the SIP layer.

Good idea. Here is my answer.

I think this definition is too broad: it applies to any BGP connection.

A Layer 3 peering is a shortcut connection established to avoid
sending the traffic via the default upstream networks. Such
a direct connection saves money (upstream is more expensive) and
improves the network performance.

L3 peering is not about reachability per se. For that, one
single interconnect to an upstream networks suffices.

I'll use the term "interconnection" below in a very generic sense,
and not in the one used in the PSTN world. I'm very much open 
to alternative wordings.

So what about:

-----
SIP Peering is the establishement of an alternative communication
path between the SIP elements of two entities (service providers,
corporations, ...) to improve over the service offered by the 
default interconnection. The improvements offered by this new path 
can include (but are not limited to)
  * better QoS
  * cost benefits (e.g. if the default path is billed by minute)
  * additional features (e.g. wideband codecs or IM)
  * abuse handling.

The default interconnection between two parties is out of scope
for the Speermint WG. 
-----

I don't think we should care whether the default interconnection
mechanism is SIP according to RFC3261, the PSTN, SIP via
a transit network, or simply no default interconnection at all.

All we need to focus on here in Speermint is to define
a framework which can be used to establish more direct and thus
better crosslinks between two SIP service providers.

I am sure we could get into all sorts of philosophical discussions on thi=
s, but let's just postulate one question:

How much of the items you spend money on in a year are actually based on =
the cost of providing the service, and how much is based on what the mark=
et will bear?

And I don't see it being any different for most ISPs either.

But anyway surely those issues are irrelevant for SPEERMINT.

What SPEERMINT needs to deal with is how each operator accounts to anothe=
r operator for the traffic that one delivers to the other. In 3GPP that i=
s dealt with primarily by the exchange of IOI parameters over SIP. At the=
 SIP level the account is not exchanged between operators, merely an indi=
cator of the operator that the traffic has been passed to.

Hi Keith,
=20
some questions for clarification
=20
>What SPEERMINT needs to deal with is how each operator accounts to =
another operator for the traffic that one delivers to the >other. In =
3GPP that is dealt with primarily by the exchange of IOI parameters over =
SIP. At the SIP level the account is not >exchanged between operators, =
merely an indicator of the operator that the traffic has been passed to.

1. So you are proposing SPEERMINT should deal with accounting issues?
2. What kind of traffic? L3 or L5?
3. What if no L3 traffic is deleivered at all?
4.or are you proposing that SPEERMINT is dealing only with networks =
behind SBC?
5. IOI?
=20
regards
Richard

Betreff: RE: [Speermint] Billing, Accounting, Tariffing and Charging



I am sure we could get into all sorts of philosophical discussions on =
this, but let's just postulate one question:

How much of the items you spend money on in a year are actually based on =
the cost of providing the service, and how much is based on what the =
market will bear?

And I don't see it being any different for most ISPs either.

But anyway surely those issues are irrelevant for SPEERMINT.

What SPEERMINT needs to deal with is how each operator accounts to =
another operator for the traffic that one delivers to the other. In 3GPP =
that is dealt with primarily by the exchange of IOI parameters over SIP. =
At the SIP level the account is not exchanged between operators, merely =
an indicator of the operator that the traffic has been passed to.

regards

Keith

Hi Otmar,
=20
your definition of SIP peering (or is it more a definition
of the scope of SPEERMINT?) seems to be at least a basis for discussion.
=20
But it implies that it is valid only for (or SPEERMINT is=20
dealing only with) additional L3 peerings - this will Keith make happy =
;-)
=20
I have only a problem with this:
=20
>I don't think we should care whether the default interconnection
>mechanism is SIP according to RFC3261, the PSTN, SIP via
>a transit network, or simply no default interconnection at all.
=20
As you point out in (have I now to say direct) L3 peering,
there is always a default connection.
=20
In SPEERMINT this could only be RFC3261/3263, and
it cannot be the PSTN (Speermint is not
dealing with E.164 numbers)
=20
And having no default is also not a good idea.
=20
Richard

Good idea. Here is my answer.

I think this definition is too broad: it applies to any BGP connection.

A Layer 3 peering is a shortcut connection established to avoid
sending the traffic via the default upstream networks. Such
a direct connection saves money (upstream is more expensive) and
improves the network performance.

L3 peering is not about reachability per se. For that, one
single interconnect to an upstream networks suffices.

I'll use the term "interconnection" below in a very generic sense,
and not in the one used in the PSTN world. I'm very much open
to alternative wordings.

So what about:

-----
SIP Peering is the establishement of an alternative communication
path between the SIP elements of two entities (service providers,
corporations, ...) to improve over the service offered by the
default interconnection. The improvements offered by this new path
can include (but are not limited to)
  * better QoS
  * cost benefits (e.g. if the default path is billed by minute)
  * additional features (e.g. wideband codecs or IM)
  * abuse handling.

The default interconnection between two parties is out of scope
for the Speermint WG.
-----

I don't think we should care whether the default interconnection
mechanism is SIP according to RFC3261, the PSTN, SIP via
a transit network, or simply no default interconnection at all.

All we need to focus on here in Speermint is to define
a framework which can be used to establish more direct and thus
better crosslinks between two SIP service providers.

Otmar,

While default paths may be a good idea, that is an implementation detail
that should not be the focus of such definitions.

SIP Peering is the enablement of direct connection between SIP providers
offering essential experience-enhancing services, without the need to
resort to transit middlemen providing solely route discovery.

Your list of QoS, cost, features, security are examples of useful
criteria to identify value-added.

Mike

Michael,

So in the absence of an established SIP Peering: can users of SIP provider A call
customers of SIP provider B?

If yes, how is that achieved?

-----------

I have the feeling that the members of this WG doesn't agree on 
what the status quo is. No wonder that we have difficulties to 
agree on what problem Speermint is supposed to solve.

Yeah, its probably off topic.

> What SPEERMINT needs to deal with is how each operator accounts to another operator for the traffic that one delivers to the other. In 3GPP that is dealt with primarily by the exchange of IOI parameters over SIP. At the SIP level the account is not exchanged between operators, merely an indicator of the operator that the traffic has been passed to.

What constitutes the delivery of traffic from one operator to another?

Consider Richard's example. (The one where he and his friend are in a 
hotel in NY.) What traffic is Richard's operator delivering to his 
friend's operator?

Well, for one, because it's not true, as I think you know.  VoIP Peering
happens all over the place today.  Even over the public Internet.  

But it is an excellent question, and I think we need to determine the answer
as soon as possible, to save time and energy if it is not appropriate for
the IETF; or to focus on what aspects are appropriate, and do the work.  I
believe there is no point in working on something if service providers won't
use it, or the IESG won't approve it, or other members of the IETF community
harass us.  ;)

But I think we need to at least get terminology done so we can talk the same
language, and get some base requirements identified - so we can all figure
out the answer to your question.  I'm fairly confident we'll end up with
something relevant to providers _and_ acceptable to the IETF to specify.

Cheers,
Hadriel

Otmar,

Your question is circular.

What you posited earlier was that given indirect option 1, define better
direct option 2.  While one can learn from experience with option 1, I
don't think it is a pre-requisite or dependency for defining option2.

Thus, defining where we have been (status quo) is not as important as
defining where we want to go.  In fact, spending less time looking
backwards might help make better progress moving forward.

Mike

Hi Henry,
I am not sure we can come to an agreement on this, but I will try my best
because I respect your views and I think there may be confusion simply
because we say similar words but don't mean the same things.  I believe that
is why a terminology document is so critical to starting this process.

I was not referring to your email comment when I said "harass".  I was
unfortunately not at IETF 65, but from what I hear presenters were not given
the same level of respect as I have personally seen in previous IETF's for a
community approach to a problem.  Rather than ignore that, which was my
first reaction, I would like to understand and discuss the objections in an
open forum.  Based on the second-hand description of the arguments raised by
attendees at the session, I genuinely believe there is a misunderstanding
among the community that a baseline terminology and communication would help
clear up.  Terms such as "walled-gardens" are used which are ambiguous at
best, and misleading at worst.

Perhaps that is not the case, and we really have a fundamental difference of
opinion.  But I would like to find out if that is the case; because I don't
think it will be constructive if a majority of the IETF shares the views of
the dissenters.  There will always be people with differing viewpoints, as
there are in every working group and even among working groups.  No working
group would be able to function if simply the fact of differing viewpoints
were to mean work could not progress - so I am not saying we should stop if
we simply discover basic human nature exists.  BUT, if a significant
minority of the IETF shares that then I think it will cause chaos and
potentially failure which I would rather avoid at the outset.

If you would like, we can discuss them in email exchanges on this list, but
I fear the exchange would be long and difficult for people to follow.  I
would rather get a terminology document done so we can at least start from a
documented definition of terms.

Regards,
Hadriel

I believe you are right on this item. It appears VoIP peering is just a
business model in conflict with the e2e nature of the Internet.

Defending e2e against balkanizing business models is not "harassment". 

VoIP businesses are free to take VoIP peering to market, but trying to
legitimize the breakup of e2e in the IETF itself is not OK.

Thanks, Henry

There is currently only one type of peering with one set of reciprocal
values that IP Network Owners have in the internet today. The real work of
this group should be to provide a method to exchange packets where there are
different reciprocal values based on a subset of the total packets
associated with a service (such as SIP signaled media). This must be done in
such a way that no existing services or reciprocal relationships are
affected. Additionally, the prevalent protocols used for Layer 3 networking
will not be easily extended -- thus the assumption should be made that an
architecture that assumes no major changes to BGP4 will be possible.

The requirements start at Layer 3 (IP Connectivity, and reachability) and
extend to addressing and location of endpoints in adjacent networks and
paths to endpoints more than one network hop away. The billing and business
models are just the icing on the cake.

Even in a world of e2e free internet-hippy style networking, the value of
each packet will be different based on the service the packet is part of.
This value will be a function of the layer 3 IP-IP interconnection. The
IETF's mission is to "make the internet better", and an internet that offers
each managed network participant the ability to extract maximum value is a
better internet.

No solution proposed by anybody will ever remove the best-efforts e2e
internet (Your safe Henry). Free services will always be available. The
reciprocal value of free services is just that -- exactly equal to the
reciprocal value or maximum routing efficiency. Thus the only time the value
exchange of peering relations for specific services matches exactly best
efforts exchanges is when the service is a zero cost, best efforts service.
In these cases, the network owner has no incentive to modify routing of
packets. Nor does the service provider have any incentive to deploy any
equipment other than the minimum requirements for best efforts.

Balkanized? Walled gardens? Net-Neutrality? How about a better, more useful
internet that can enable differentiated services -- yet retains the
neutrality and openness as core values.

Michael,

So in the absence of an established SIP Peering: can users of SIP provider A
call
customers of SIP provider B?

If yes, how is that achieved?

-----------

I have the feeling that the members of this WG doesn't agree on 
what the status quo is. No wonder that we have difficulties to 
agree on what problem Speermint is supposed to solve.

IMHO,  IETF community wants to solve VoIP peering problem in two major
ways: e2e/p2p and interprovider/interdomain.

I hope that IETF will try to address those separately as follows:

P2P SIP BOF/WG:  E2E/p2p peering

SPEERMINT WG: Interprovider/interdomain peering



Thank you.

Hi Sohel,
=20
This is no so simple
=20
1. P2P SIP has a complete different charter
2. What if a P2P network is provided by a provider who wants to peer
with another provider?

Subject: RE: [Speermint] Definition of "Peering"

There is currently only one type of peering with one set of reciprocal
values that IP Network Owners have in the internet today. The real work
of
this group should be to provide a method to exchange packets where there
are
different reciprocal values based on a subset of the total packets
associated with a service (such as SIP signaled media). This must be
done in
such a way that no existing services or reciprocal relationships are
affected. Additionally, the prevalent protocols used for Layer 3
networking
will not be easily extended -- thus the assumption should be made that
an
architecture that assumes no major changes to BGP4 will be possible.

[Malas, Daryl] Unless I am misunderstanding your thought, I think
peering is higher than Layer 3.  Layer 3 is simply the transport for SIP
(Layer 5) peering.  The transport capability can differ greatly from
"shared public internet", IPVPN, private line, and many others.  This
group should focus at Layer 5 as described in the "Requirements and
Terminology" draft.  Leave transport and the priority/value of packets
up to interconnect designs and strategies.--

The requirements start at Layer 3 (IP Connectivity, and reachability)
and
extend to addressing and location of endpoints in adjacent networks and
paths to endpoints more than one network hop away. The billing and
business
models are just the icing on the cake.

[Malas, Daryl] I agree, billing and business models will be a negotiated
aspect of peering, and will differ greatly based on pre-arranged peering
agreements.  Common CDR information relative to SIP signaling will
remain consistent in peering for these aspects.--

Even in a world of e2e free internet-hippy style networking, the value
of
each packet will be different based on the service the packet is part
of.
This value will be a function of the layer 3 IP-IP interconnection. The
IETF's mission is to "make the internet better", and an internet that
offers
each managed network participant the ability to extract maximum value is
a
better internet.

No solution proposed by anybody will ever remove the best-efforts e2e
internet (Your safe Henry). Free services will always be available. The
reciprocal value of free services is just that -- exactly equal to the
reciprocal value or maximum routing efficiency. Thus the only time the
value
exchange of peering relations for specific services matches exactly best
efforts exchanges is when the service is a zero cost, best efforts
service.
In these cases, the network owner has no incentive to modify routing of
packets. Nor does the service provider have any incentive to deploy any
equipment other than the minimum requirements for best efforts.

[Malas, Daryl] The internet will remain as a transport mechanism for a
low cost peering relationship.  The value here is defined easily.
Peering can encompass an interconnection with the Internet maintaining
both private and public peering capabilities.  This reminds me of the 3
different categories of ENUM (Public, Private, and Carrier -- If I
remember correctly).  I think SPEERMINT should define different
categories of peering in a similar manner.--

Balkanized? Walled gardens? Net-Neutrality? How about a better, more
useful
internet that can enable differentiated services -- yet retains the
neutrality and openness as core values.=20

Michael,

So in the absence of an established SIP Peering: can users of SIP
provider A
call
customers of SIP provider B?

If yes, how is that achieved?

Richard,

I responded to soon before.  You have a good point.  So what you are
suggesting is peering can encompass multiple SIP based services (P2P,
ENUM, SIMPLE, etc.), and should not be limited to basic SIP telephony?

Thanks...

Daryl M.

I hope that IETF will try to address those separately as follows:

P2P SIP BOF/WG:  E2E/p2p peering

SPEERMINT WG: Interprovider/interdomain peering

Thank you for bringing this up again and in focus
=20
The basic idea of SPEERMINT is to bring an SIP INVITE from Provider
(or admin domain) A to B without immediately being rejected.
=20
If one follows this discussion, one gets the impression that the =
buzzwords
immediately are traffic, QoS, managed networks, billing, accounting, =
charging,=20
so basically the main task of the SIP INVITE seems to trigger a meter.
=20
So most here are immediately putting their Bell-hat on and thinking =
voice calls
=20
But at that point of time it is not even defined what the purpose of the =
session will be
=20
Of course we are talking about ALL SIP services. Do I need a guarantied =
QoS
and managed network for an IM or a filetransfer?

Where is this world?

Users pay for Internet access service, which seems to be a booming business.

What does the hippie comment mean on this list?

Subject: RE: [Speermint] Definition of "Peering"

There is currently only one type of peering with one set of reciprocal
values that IP Network Owners have in the internet today. The real work of
this group should be to provide a method to exchange packets where there are
different reciprocal values based on a subset of the total packets
associated with a service (such as SIP signaled media). This must be done in
such a way that no existing services or reciprocal relationships are
affected. Additionally, the prevalent protocols used for Layer 3 networking
will not be easily extended -- thus the assumption should be made that an
architecture that assumes no major changes to BGP4 will be possible.

The requirements start at Layer 3 (IP Connectivity, and reachability) and
extend to addressing and location of endpoints in adjacent networks and
paths to endpoints more than one network hop away. The billing and business
models are just the icing on the cake.

Even in a world of e2e free internet-hippy style networking, the value of
each packet will be different based on the service the packet is part of.
This value will be a function of the layer 3 IP-IP interconnection. The
IETF's mission is to "make the internet better", and an internet that offers
each managed network participant the ability to extract maximum value is a
better internet.

No solution proposed by anybody will ever remove the best-efforts e2e
internet (Your safe Henry). Free services will always be available. The
reciprocal value of free services is just that -- exactly equal to the
reciprocal value or maximum routing efficiency. Thus the only time the value
exchange of peering relations for specific services matches exactly best
efforts exchanges is when the service is a zero cost, best efforts service.
In these cases, the network owner has no incentive to modify routing of
packets. Nor does the service provider have any incentive to deploy any
equipment other than the minimum requirements for best efforts.

Balkanized? Walled gardens? Net-Neutrality? How about a better, more useful
internet that can enable differentiated services -- yet retains the
neutrality and openness as core values.

Michael,

So in the absence of an established SIP Peering: can users of SIP provider A
call
customers of SIP provider B?

If yes, how is that achieved?

[[Reinaldo]]=20

Hello Richard,

If all we need is what you said above, then what we need is already
defined in SIP/SIPPING, right? They already standardized procedures for
DNS lookup, etc, etc

Let me rephrase the question by asking what is missing instead of what
is already defined. If we have two SIP domains, with the DNSs properly
SIPpenized, where the SIP border proxies are configured to talk to each
other, is there anything else needed besides what is in SIP/SIPPING?

Is the policy piece the missing link?=20

Sorry, I'm trying to peel another layer to look under "enabling to SIP
messages between the two domains", "Layer 5 peering" and other
expressions.=20

I'm trying to understand what exactly is missing if all we want is to
enable Sip messages from domain A to reach B. Are today VoIP peering
points just exchange of media or there is signaling going on as well?

I think we should rephrase the charter to be much, much more specific on
what our goals are, the drafts we need and milestones.

Thanks,

Reinaldo

I mentioned in a different message that we should try to rephrase the
charter to be more specific/focused.

Today the charter states

" More specifically, SPEERMINT focuses on real-time session
routing architectures and their associated use cases.
Deliverables here include the specification of the various
types of application flows, such as signaling and media flows, in
such networks, and includes both trunking and peer-to-peer
flows. In addition, SPEERMINT considers and documents requirements
for the feedback of operational conditions (e.g., congestion control)
that enables the application of dynamic policy and recognizes
that various mechanisms for achieving this should be studied as
a potential part of any architecture."

This seems quite broad; much more than enabling Sip message from domain
A to reach B.

Further down it states:

" The most focused deliverables of SPEERMINT are best current practices
regarding exchange of real-time sessions among VoIP and other
real-time application service providers and, in particular, how
such calls are routed."

I believe maybe this should be our focus, i.e., "in particular how such
calls are routed".  We should solidify the terminology draft, which is
the starting point and in parallel work on the scenarios on how such
calls would be routed. Let's put the "new" requirements aside for the
time being. If we identify a missing piece, then we could work it as
necessary.

On the other hand, it might be that we come up with a routing
scenarios/message flows documents and find out that the important pieces
are there. This would not be wasted work, I'm sure these would be very
important documents.

It seems very hard to make progress without some document to base our
discussions.=20

My 2 cents,

Reinaldo

Yes, and I think this discussion helped very much to make this clear

More concrete proposals:

The "routing architecture" part of draft-bathia and draft-khan could
possibly be combined in one draft.

This would present an overall of the parts, functions, etc

We should then have another draft that details the "message flows and
routing" as stated in the charter. For example (this is my quick and
dirt version to get something going):

alice@ispa.com registers, decides to call bob@ispb.com.

alice sends a invite to proxy.ispa.com, which performs a DNS lookup on
ispb.com, finds out the ispb.com's proxy is proxy.ispb.com.

At this point we have two scenarios:

Ispa and ispb have an established commercial agreement and a
configuration as a consequence of that (which is out of scope).

proxya and proxyb never talked to each other and then will determine if
they meet the "minimum requirements" as stated in the charter to talk
each other. This could be establishing a TLS connection or whatever.

thanks,

Reinaldo

Hi Reinaldo,=20
=20
I support your proposal,
=20
inline

I mentioned in a different message that we should try to rephrase the
charter to be more specific/focused.

Today the charter states

" More specifically, SPEERMINT focuses on real-time session
routing architectures and their associated use cases.
Deliverables here include the specification of the various
types of application flows, such as signaling and media flows, in
such networks, and includes both trunking and peer-to-peer
flows. In addition, SPEERMINT considers and documents requirements
for the feedback of operational conditions (e.g., congestion control)
that enables the application of dynamic policy and recognizes
that various mechanisms for achieving this should be studied as
a potential part of any architecture."

This seems quite broad; much more than enabling Sip message from domain
A to reach B.

[Richard]: Yes, this seemed a good idea, but it is really too broad and=20



Further down it states:

" The most focused deliverables of SPEERMINT are best current practices
regarding exchange of real-time sessions among VoIP and other
real-time application service providers and, in particular, how
such calls are routed."

I believe maybe this should be our focus, i.e., "in particular how such
calls are routed".  We should solidify the terminology draft, which is
the starting point and in parallel work on the scenarios on how such
calls would be routed. Let's put the "new" requirements aside for the
time being. If we identify a missing piece, then we could work it as
necessary.

On the other hand, it might be that we come up with a routing
scenarios/message flows documents and find out that the important pieces
are there. This would not be wasted work, I'm sure these would be very
important documents.

It seems very hard to make progress without some document to base our
discussions.

My 2 cents,

Reinaldo

Sorry, I het the send by accident

Hi Reinaldo,=20
=20
I support your proposal,
=20
inline

I mentioned in a different message that we should try to rephrase the
charter to be more specific/focused.

Today the charter states

" More specifically, SPEERMINT focuses on real-time session
routing architectures and their associated use cases.
Deliverables here include the specification of the various
types of application flows, such as signaling and media flows, in
such networks, and includes both trunking and peer-to-peer
flows. In addition, SPEERMINT considers and documents requirements
for the feedback of operational conditions (e.g., congestion control)
that enables the application of dynamic policy and recognizes
that various mechanisms for achieving this should be studied as
a potential part of any architecture."

This seems quite broad; much more than enabling Sip message from domain
A to reach B.

[Richard]: Yes, this seemed a good idea, but it is really too broad and =
may
have caused the confusion we had in the meeting and the discussion

Further down it states:

" The most focused deliverables of SPEERMINT are best current practices
regarding exchange of real-time sessions among VoIP and other
real-time application service providers and, in particular, how
such calls are routed."

I believe maybe this should be our focus, i.e., "in particular how such
calls are routed".  We should solidify the terminology draft, which is
the starting point and in parallel work on the scenarios on how such
calls would be routed. Let's put the "new" requirements aside for the
time being. If we identify a missing piece, then we could work it as
necessary.

[Richard} Correct

On the other hand, it might be that we come up with a routing
scenarios/message flows documents and find out that the important pieces
are there. This would not be wasted work, I'm sure these would be very
important documents.

[Richard} Agreed
regards=20
Richard

It seems very hard to make progress without some document to base our
discussions.

My 2 cents,

Reinaldo

Okay, so I have an additional proposal, which I think will be necessary
as well:

A draft for "peering authentication", with an example continued within
your's below...

"Ispa and ispb have an established commercial agreement and a
configuration as a consequence of that (which is out of scope)."

ISPA sends a PROXY REGISTER message to ISPB.  ISPB responds with a 401
Unauthorized.  ISPA sends a PROXY REGISTER with HTTP/AUTH credentials to
ISPB.  ISPB responds with 200 OK and "Proxy-auth" key.  The auth key is
cached by ISPA.

"alice@ispa.com registers, decides to call bob@ispb.com."

"alice sends a invite to proxy.ispa.com, which performs a DNS lookup on
ispb.com, finds out the ispb.com's proxy is proxy.ispb.com."

proxy.ispa.com includes "Proxy-auth" key in INVITE from alice as
authorization for the peering relationship.  ISPB looks for "Proxy-auth"
key and allows alice's call to continue to bob.

I know this is overly simplistic, but I think this WG must define a
mechanism similar to this.  This will be critical for securing SIP
signaling between peers.

More concrete proposals:

The "routing architecture" part of draft-bathia and draft-khan could
possibly be combined in one draft.

This would present an overall of the parts, functions, etc

We should then have another draft that details the "message flows and
routing" as stated in the charter. For example (this is my quick and
dirt version to get something going):

alice@ispa.com registers, decides to call bob@ispb.com.

alice sends a invite to proxy.ispa.com, which performs a DNS lookup on
ispb.com, finds out the ispb.com's proxy is proxy.ispb.com.

At this point we have two scenarios:

Ispa and ispb have an established commercial agreement and a
configuration as a consequence of that (which is out of scope).

proxya and proxyb never talked to each other and then will determine if
they meet the "minimum requirements" as stated in the charter to talk
each other. This could be establishing a TLS connection or whatever.

thanks,

Reinaldo

That's perfectly fine. These were my proposals to get things going so we
do not get stuck.

The charter states that "Where these domains peer,
or meet, the establishment of trust, security, and a resistance to
abuse and attack are all important considerations". Your proposal
tackles these.

Regards,

Reinaldo

Wading in the middle:

Just for fun, I re-read our charter.  I came away saying "that's pretty
clear".  I now turn to this discussion and say "please re-read the charter".

The charter is clear we are talking about all forms of real time
communications.  The charter doesn't explicitly rule out one way (streaming)
but I think we can assume it.  So, it's not just voice.

The charter is clear we are talking about SIP.  We aren't talking about XMPP
for example or H.323.  The charter does not discuss p2p SIP.  I believe that
until there is a working group on p2p SIP, and until that group produces
some interesting results, it's out of scope for us.  We're dealing with
proxy to proxy peering.

The charter is pretty clear that we are talking about BOTH inter-carrier as
well as any inter-domain peering.  I suppose it could be clearer about that
point.  I think inter-enterprise VoIP, to take an example, without benefit
of a carrier, is probably in scope.  We could, within the group, decide to
treat carrier peering and other interdomain peering separately.  It's not
clear to me that we need to or should, at least at the moment.  I don't
think anyone can say "we are NOT working on inter-carrier peering".
Similarly, I don't believe we are limited to e.164 addresses.  I think we
include mapping of e.164s to SIP URIs within our documents as one of the
things a proxy may do.  I think we can also be somewhat cavalier with the
differences between public ENUM, infrastructure/carrier ENUM and private
ENUM.  I don't think we even want to offer guidance on what to do when more
than one is available other than observing that such a case will be common.

The charter is clear we are talking about BOTH the media and the signaling.
If you combine that with "inter-carrier vs inter-domain" then you have BOTH
the case of a direct media connection as well as one that goes through
(horrors) SBCs, even when two UAs are in the same hotel.  Most enterprises
seem to like SBCs anyway.  Unless someone gives me a really good explanation
of why it actually matters if they do run through SBCs with respect to our
work, I think we probably can ignore the difference.

Finally, in my checkered past, I have had many occasions to observe the
difference between a pile of documents that purport to define interoperable
implementations, and the reality of actually achieving it.  While in
general, in the IETF, "profiles" are not a nice word, Best Current Practices
are.  Our charter is clear we are to develop BCPs.   One of the biggest
values we can have on peering is to be VERY explicit about what the (SIP)
signaling looks like across the peering points.  Remember, the wonderful
thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.  There is no
better example of that than the area in which we find ourselves here, and we
CAN do something about making choices.  It's all well and good to say "dip
ENUM if you have an e.164, use SRV to find the server for the domain of the
URI, send an INVITE there", but, in the real world, it's MUCH more
complicated then that, and our job is to describe all the dreck that you
really have to do.

I think our problem is more to define what we do first then what we do.

Brian

Yes, and I think this discussion helped very much to make this clear

Hi All,

I put up a wiki at http://speermint.ipeerx.com/
It has David's definitions from reqs-and-terminology-01.

Feel free to edit away. (however,  that doesn't mean the
ID editor is under any obligation to use the results.)

Cheers

Well I can't speak for it being a booming business or not, but I think what
you said is exactly right about Internet access - and shows the confusion
caused by us using the same words but possibly meaning different things.  

It is absolutely true that people pay for "Internet Access", and Internet
access is what they should get for that payment.  If you want to install a
sip phone on your PC and make a point-to-point sip call to your friend -
that should be possible.  If you want to point your sip phone to the proxy
or registrar of your choosing, so long as the owner of the registrar/proxy
you choose agrees - then that should be possible.  As should best-effort
forwarding of any IP packets of any port numbers using any transport layer
of your choosing to anywhere routable/reachable in the Internet, so long as
the far-end IP-Address destination allows it... you get the idea.

The IETF is a completely inappropriate place to discuss NOT allowing that.
In my opinion, it MUST be the case that NO output of this WG describes
blocking such best-effort "Internet Access" traffic, or blocking the ability
to do that with your SIP UA. 

So when you say "end-to-end" or "e2e" - is that what you mean?  Being able
to create sip sessions either directly from your PC to your friend's PC?  As
well as through proxies of your choosing, so long as the proxies you chose
allow you to?  If so, I think we agree.

To some of us, the confusion comes about because the word "access" has a
special connotation for voip providers about customers joining and creating
sip sessions through a specific collection of sip proxies/registrars.  The
joining can be explicit through challenged registration means, or implicit
through static configuration, or whatever.  

The confusion is that from the operator's perspective, they should
absolutely have the right to only allow specific users to join their
collection of sip proxies/registrars/etc.  Just like a bank running a web
server has the right to only give their paying customers access to their
server.

The very concepts of SIP/HTTP challenge-response, or mutual-TLS, or any such
authentication mechanisms defined by IETF working groups tacitly implies to
me that the operator of the proxy/registrar has an IETF-sanctioned right to
reject unauthorized users from joining his collection of proxies/registrars.

Do we agree on that? 

-hadriel

It is IMHO not so simple

Of course a proxy/registrar/provider may reject unauthorized users
i.e. non-subscribers from accessing his collection of proxies.

But we are talking in SPEERMINT about the right of rejecting
"unauthorized"
access BETWEEN providers.

There is an old problem of a difference between the Internet and
the PSTN lurking here in the background of the discussion:=20
public and private.

On the PSTN, or better at the Telephony service as defined in ITU-T
E.105,
there is a clear distinction between public and private, which is
not existing on the Internet. On the PSTN there is the definition of
a User-Network-Interface (UNI) and an Network-Network-Interface (NNI).
On these interfaces even different protocols are used e.g. SS7/ISUP/R2
etc
and ISDN/D-Channel. The information transmitted differs, e.g. regarding=20
Calling Line Identification.

The interface between the UA and the proxy may be mapped to a UNI, the
interface between providers may be mapped to a NNI. So spearmint
seems to deal with NNIs. This seems easy, but the is the problems of
enterprises. In the PSTN e.g. an enterprise PBX is ALWAYS connected via
an UNI and the appropriate protocol, on the Internet an enterprise may
also run a proxy and is within scope of spearmint. There is no
distinction
here.

There is an additional implication with public and private: if you
are providing a service for the public or not. And Telephony is
a very special public service. In all European Telecommunication
Laws there is the definition of a Public Available Telecommunicatios
Services (the infamous PATS), which implies some rights and obligations.
One of it is the obligation to interconnect (an other obligation is the=20
Provision of emergency services, in some countries with PATS comes the
"right" to participate in NP).

And here we are with E.164 numbers: the obligation for interconnection
is for historical reasons only related to E.164 numbers, not for SIP
URIs. Of course private networks on the PSTN are not required to=20
interconnect.

This implies that the status quo with all VoIP Providers is the
following, even if they provide PATS services:
they run their service related to SIP URIs like private networks,
because the PATS obligations relate only to E.164 numbers.

The obligation to interconnect with E.164 can easily be fulfilled
via taking the PSTN as default. If they are clever, they join a
private ENUM federation to add in ADDITION a peering with selected
partners, but the PSTN is always there as default for all other
numbers. This works, but only for E.164 numbers and PSTN-related
services (e.g. voice).

This causes some problems with spearmint:

1. E.164 numbers are out of scope in spearmint, so is the PSTN
2. Peering/interconnection is done only with SIP URIs (even
if these are derived via ENUM from E.164 numbers).
3. All potential SIP services apply, so again the PSTN is no
default option.

But: there is of course no equivalent to a PATS SIP service,
also no distinction between public and private,
and also no obligation to interconnect.

We should be a bit careful here:

Of course we could take it easy and say: who cares about PATS,
E.164 numbers and related obligations.

On the other hand, the (public) Internet is also, as the name
implies, a service for the public. If we ignore these issues,
we should consider the implications and eventual outcome:

1. All communications will sooner or later be based on IP technology
2. Laws and their obligations will also be around for some time
so if existing PSTN networks migrate to NGN (=3DIP based technology),
they will also have to take over some of these obligations.

One of these will be the obligation to interconnect via E.164 numbers.

Either we deal with these issues also on the public Internet
and with our native naming and addressing schemes (SIP URIs)
or we force the NGNs even more (they are bound to do this anyway)
to build their own "Internet" (e.g. the GSMA IPX) and also to use
E.164 numbers forever.

This is one reason why I would like to see a default peering
in spearmint for SIP URIs

The second reason is that we should also consider the customer
(end-user) expectations - and this is global reachability
with SIP URIs

Richard

Hi Richard,
Of course it isn't so simple, but I'm trying to walk there instead of
skipping straight to the meat - because I'm not sure we have a common ground
of understanding.  

I know SPEARMINT is for peering - but without defining peering of what and
whom and (most importantly) why, in a way that is acceptable to the IETF,
we'll never get anywhere, IMHO.

For example, one of the arguments I heard people raised at IETF 65 was "what
about this is the Internet?  The I in IETF is for Internet, so this group is
out of scope."  First, it is obviously untrue that the IETF only concerns
itself with the ip network transport layer, nor of routing protocols to
create an Internet.  One need only look at the areas and working groups to
see that.  It's not only layer 3 protocols being defined.  Second, there is
one area actually titled "Internet Area", yet even within that area are
groups who's entire existence in life is to define VPNs, at layers 2 and 3.


How are VPNs the Internet?  Extending that idea, there are IETF groups who
are (or were last time I was at the IETF) working to define how such VPNs
can work between providers, and bridge the VPNs together.  For me, if that
is acceptable work for the IETF, then there should also be a case for
allowing layer-5 VPNs to be bridged together.  And that's only if you look
at it one way (as L5 VPNs).  There are other ways to look at it that I think
make it acceptable as well.

 I think, we need to extend Daryl's proposed draft to a "peering
security" draft that addresses all security issues in addition to
authentication.

proposal)

Okay, so I have an additional proposal, which I think will be necessary
as well:

A draft for "peering authentication", with an example continued within
your's below...

"Ispa and ispb have an established commercial agreement and a
configuration as a consequence of that (which is out of scope)."

ISPA sends a PROXY REGISTER message to ISPB.  ISPB responds with a 401
Unauthorized.  ISPA sends a PROXY REGISTER with HTTP/AUTH credentials to
ISPB.  ISPB responds with 200 OK and "Proxy-auth" key.  The auth key is
cached by ISPA.

"alice@ispa.com registers, decides to call bob@ispb.com."

"alice sends a invite to proxy.ispa.com, which performs a DNS lookup on
ispb.com, finds out the ispb.com's proxy is proxy.ispb.com."

proxy.ispa.com includes "Proxy-auth" key in INVITE from alice as
authorization for the peering relationship.  ISPB looks for "Proxy-auth"
key and allows alice's call to continue to bob.

I know this is overly simplistic, but I think this WG must define a
mechanism similar to this.  This will be critical for securing SIP
signaling between peers.

More concrete proposals:

The "routing architecture" part of draft-bathia and draft-khan could
possibly be combined in one draft.

This would present an overall of the parts, functions, etc

We should then have another draft that details the "message flows and
routing" as stated in the charter. For example (this is my quick and
dirt version to get something going):

alice@ispa.com registers, decides to call bob@ispb.com.

alice sends a invite to proxy.ispa.com, which performs a DNS lookup on
ispb.com, finds out the ispb.com's proxy is proxy.ispb.com.

At this point we have two scenarios:

Ispa and ispb have an established commercial agreement and a
configuration as a consequence of that (which is out of scope).

proxya and proxyb never talked to each other and then will determine if
they meet the "minimum requirements" as stated in the charter to talk
each other. This could be establishing a TLS connection or whatever.

thanks,

Reinaldo

How the providers should bill each other should be out of scope of =
SPEERMINT.
However, SPEERMINT needs to define parameters by which account =
information may be exchanged between two providers.
The accounting information may be packet level or session level or both.

Subject: RE: [Speermint] Billing, Accounting, Tariffing and Charging

I am sure we could get into all sorts of philosophical discussions on =
this, but let's just postulate one question:

How much of the items you spend money on in a year are actually based on =
the cost of providing the service, and how much is based on what the =
market will bear?

And I don't see it being any different for most ISPs either.

But anyway surely those issues are irrelevant for SPEERMINT.

What SPEERMINT needs to deal with is how each operator accounts to =
another operator for the traffic that one delivers to the other. In 3GPP =
that is dealt with primarily by the exchange of IOI parameters over SIP. =
At the SIP level the account is not exchanged between operators, merely =
an indicator of the operator that the traffic has been passed to.

Keith

Folks,
=20
Weekend reading
=20
Since we obviosly are dealing more with NGN Interconnect in Speermint,
I recommend everybody on this this list to read the excellent Background =
Paper
from Scott Marcus - Interconnection in an IP-based NGN Environment
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ngn/documents/Papers/Marcus-060323-Fin-v2.1.pd=
f
=20
to his presentation=20
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ngn/documents/presentations/marcus-23-march-20=
06.ppt
given at the ITU-T Workshop last week
What Rules for Ip-eneabled NGNs?
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ngn/event-march-2006.phtml
=20
The agenda and some other excellent presentations can be downloaded from
here:
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ngn/presentations.html
=20
In addition I would also like to point to a CEPT ECC Draft Report
on the Future on Numbering, tabled for the next ITU-T SG2 Meeting
as TD 198-GEN.=20
https://mail.oefeg.at/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=3Dhttp://www.ero.dk/27132=
22D-C8AF-4407-BE53-131EA2EED278?frames=3Dno%26
The document is in public consultation and not final yet.
It contains also some statements regarding termination rates.
=20
The paper from Scott is on-topic regarding the current discussion here
and dealing with both the European and US situation

Scott Marcus is currently living in Europe, but in his former life
he was Senior Advisor to the FCC and also CTO for GTE Interworking,
so his knowledge is not only theoretical.
=20
In the document also contains a definition on peering and transit from =
the FCC is given:
=20
The two most prevalent forms of Internet interconnection are peering and =
transit. For a definition of these=20
terms, we turn to a publication of the Network Reliability and =
Interoperability Council (NRIC), an industry=20
advisory panel to the U.S. FCC:=20
=20
Peering is an agreement between ISPs to carry traffic for each other and =
for their respective=20
customers. Peering does not include the obligation to carry traffic to =
third parties. Peering is usually a=20
bilateral business and technical arrangement, where two providers agree =
to accept traffic from one=20
another, and from one another's customers (and thus from their =
customers' customers). ...=20
=20
Transit is an agreement where an ISP agrees to carry traffic on behalf =
of another ISP or end user. In=20
most cases transit will include an obligation to carry traffic to third =
parties. Transit is usually a=20
bilateral business and technical arrangement, where one provider (the =
transit provider) agrees to carry=20
traffic to third parties on behalf of another provider or an end user =
(the customer).  In most cases, the=20
transit provider carries traffic to and from its other customers, and to =
and from every destination on=20
the Internet, as part of the transit arrangement.  In a transit =
agreement, the ISP often also provides=20
ancillary services, such as Service Level Agreements, installation =
support, local telecom provisioning,=20
and Network Operations Center (NOC) support.=20
=20
Peering thus offers a provider access only to a single provider's =
customers. Transit, by contrast,=20
usually provides access at a predictable price to the entire Internet. =
... Historically, peering has often=20
been done on a bill-and-keep basis, without cash payments. Peering where =
there is no explicit=20
exchange of money between parties, and where each party supports part of =
the cost of the=20
interconnect, ... is typically used where both parties perceive a =
roughly equal exchange of value.=20
Peering therefore is fundamentally a barter relationship
=20
Here the Executive Summary of the paper:
=20
This report considers the likely evolution of interconnection =
arrangements in the context of IP-based Next=20
Generation Networks (NGNs).=20

The NGN represents a synthesis of existing world of the "traditional" =
Public Switched Telephone Network=20
(PSTN) with the world of the Internet. The economic and regulatory =
arrangements for the two have=20
historically been very different. What should happen when these two =
worlds collide?=20

Many of the networks created over the past ten years contain most of the =
key elements of an NGN. Most, if=20
not all, of the technology necessary for IP-based NGN interconnection =
has been available for five to ten=20
years. Advanced approaches to interconnection have been slow to deploy, =
even where the technology has=20
been mature or within hailing distance of maturity.=20

The NGN interconnection problem is best understood, not as a problem of =
technology, but rather as a=20
problem in economics. With that in mind, this report seeks to review =
what is known about interconnection=20
from an economic perspective, in order to reach conclusions about the =
prospects for deployment going=20
forward and the corresponding implications for policymakers.=20

A substantial body of economic theory has been developed over the past =
decade as regards interconnection in=20
the traditional PSTN. A smaller body of solid economic research has =
emerged in regard to interconnection of=20
IP-based networks. At the level of economic theory, the PSTN and the =
Internet are not worlds apart.=20
Economics provides the necessary bridge between the two worlds, =
illuminating both the similarities and the=20
differences in these two environments.=20

This report begins by laying out, for the most part at a non-technical =
level, the established theory of=20
interconnection, for both the PSTN and the Internet. Wholesale and =
retail arrangements are considered=20
separately. Most of the observed behavior of these economic networks can =
be explained in terms of a=20
constellation of known economic effects: market power, the termination =
monopoly, demand elasticity,=20
network exernalities, transaction costs, service differentiation, price =
discrimination, and the Coase theorem=20
(which says that private parties can often negotiate arrangements more =
efficiently than government=20
regulators, provided that necessary preconditions have been met).=20
=20
With this theory in hand, the report considers the implications for the =
deployment of differentiated Quality of=20
Service, and of universal service. We also consider the implications of =
IP-based technology - with the=20
layering, and the changes in industry structure that it implies - =
service providers become independent of the=20
network, but neither is well equipped to measure or to charge for the =
other's resource consumption.=20
 The last section of the report represents a hypothetical scenario, a =
"thought experiment", where the historic=20
wired and mobile incumbent of European country upgrades its networks to =
an IP-based NGN. We consider=20
the likely results in terms of regulation of the access network, and of =
interconnection; likely domestic and=20
international interconnection arrangements; and the implications for =
ubiquitous support of QoS. Key findings=20
include:=20
*  Provided that markets for Internet transit and for consumer broadband =
Internet access are effectively=20
competitive, a "Coasian" interconnection regime is likely to be more =
efficient, and more consistent=20
with consumer welfare, than a regulated regime.=20
*  Conversely, where these markets are not effectively competitive, =
mandates for interconnection at the=20
IP level may prove to be unavoidable, particularly once existing PSTN =
interconnection is withdrawn.=20
The migration to NGN potentially creates new sources of market power, at =
the same time that it=20
creates new possibilities for competition.=20
*  Policymakers might consequently be well advised  to focus their =
attention first on ensuring=20
competitive markets, and only secondarily on interconnection.=20

Current Calling Party's Network Pays (CPNP) arrangements contain a =
number of implicit subsidies. In the=20
world of the NGN, where services providers and networks operators may be =
different entities, these=20
subsidies need major re-thinking - call termination payments that were =
intended to finance the terminating=20
network would, by default, flow to independent VoIP service provides who =
have no network to support. In=20
the absence of termination fees, independent VoIP providers would tend =
to compete price levels for=20
telephony service, independent of the network, down to levels not =
greatly above cost, which would appear to=20
be a societally desirable outcome.
=20
The thought experiment does not flatly preclude the possibility that =
governments might somehow erect a=20
new system of subsidies to replace the old, but it suggests that any =
subsidy system will be difficult to sustain=20
over time in the face of new forms of competition enabled by the =
IP-based NGN - all provided, once again,=20
that underlying markets (especially for wholesale Internet transit and =
for retail Internet broadband access)=20
remain effectively competitive. A system of Coasian private =
arrangements, in the absence of vertically=20
integrated competitive bottlenecks, seems likely to lead to unsubsidized =
arrangements at wholesale and retail=20
price levels not greatly in excess of cost.=20

Richard
