Indication of features supported by proxy
draft-ietf-sipcore-proxy-feature-01.txt
Abstract
This specification creates a new IANA registry, "SIP Feature Cap
Registry", which is used to register indicators, "SIP feature caps",
used by SIP entities to indicate support of features and
capabilities, in cases where the Contact header field contains a URI
that does not represent the SIP entity that wants to indicate support
of its features and capabilities.
This specification also defines a new SIP header field, Feature-Caps,
that can be used by SIP entities to convey information about
supported features and capabilities, using SIP feature caps.

Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
1. Introduction
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] "Caller Preferences"
extension, defined in RFC 3840 [RFC3840], provides a mechanism that
allows a SIP message to convey information relating to the
originator's features and capabilities, using the Contact header
field.
This specification creates a new IANA registry, "SIP Feature Cap
Registry", which is used to register indicators, "SIP feature caps",
that can be used by SIP entities to indicate support of features and
capabilities, in cases where the Contact header field contains a URI
that does not represent the SIP entity that wants to indicate support
of its features and capabilities, and media feature tags cannot be
used to indicate the support. Such cases are:
o - The SIP entity acts as a SIP proxy.
o - The SIP entity acts as a SIP registrar.
o - The SIP entity acts as a B2BUA, where the Contact header field
URI represents another SIP entity.
This specification also defines a new SIP header field, Feature-Caps,
that can be used by SIP entities to convey information about
supported features and capabilities, using SIP feature caps.
Unlike media feature tags, SIP feature caps are intended to only be
used with the SIP protocol.
2. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC2119].
3. Definitions
Downstream SIP entity: SIP entity in the direction towards which a
SIP request is sent.
Upstream SIP entity: SIP entity in the direction from which a SIP
request is received.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
4. SIP Feature Caps
4.1. Introduction
A SIP feature cap can be used by SIP entities to indicate support of
features and capabilities, in cases where media feature tags cannot
be used, ie if the Contact header field contains a URI that does not
represent the SIP entity that wants to indicate support of its
features and capabilities.
A value, or a list of values, can be associated with a SIP feature
cap.
[ref-to-section] defines how SIP feature caps are conveyed using the
SIP Feature-Caps header field.
4.2. Syntax
4.2.1. General
In a SIP feature cap name (ABNF: fcap-name), dots can be used to
implement a SIP feature cap tree hierarchy (e.g.
tree.feature.subfeature). The description of usage of such tree
hierarchy must be described when registered.
4.2.2. ABNF
The ABNF for the Feature-Caps header field is:
feature-cap = ["+"] fcap-name [EQUAL LDQUOT (fcap-value-list
/ string-value ) RDQUOT]
fcap-name = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "!" / "'"
/ "." / "-" / "%" )
fcap-value-list = fcap-value *("," fcap-value)
fcap-value = ["!"] (token-nobang / boolean / numeric)
token-nobang = 1*(alphanum / "-" / "." / "%" / "*"
/ "_" / "+" / "`" / "'" / "~" )
boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE"
numeric = "#" numeric-relation number
numeric-relation = ">=" / "<=" / "=" / (number ":")
number = [ "+" / "-" ] 1*DIGIT ["." 0*DIGIT]
string-value = "<" *(qdtext-no-abkt / quoted-pair ) ">"
qdtext-no-abkt = LWS / %x21 / %x23-3B / %x3D
/ %x3F-5B / %x5D-7E / UTF8-NONASCII
;;gdtext as defined in RFC 3261

4.3. Registration Trees
4.3.1. General
The following subsections define registration "trees", distinguished
by the use of faceted names (e.g., names of the form "tree.feature-
name").
The tree definitions are based on the global tree and sip tree
defined for media feature tags, in RFC 2506 [RFC2506] and RFC 3841
[RFC3841].
Additional feature caps trees can be created by IANA, following the
same rules and procedures as defined for media feature tags in
section 3.1.4 of RFC 2506 [RFC2506].
The acceptance of the proposed designation is at the discretion of
IANA. If IANA believes that additional information, or
clarification, is needed, it can request an updated proposal from the
proposing organization.
When a SIP feature cap is registered in any registration tree, no
leading "+" is used in the registration.
4.3.2. Global Tree
The SIP feature cap global tree is based on the media feature tag
global tree defined in RFC 2506 [RFC2506].
A SIP feature cap for the global tree will be registered by the IANA
after review by a designated expert. That review will serve to
ensure that the SIP feature cap meets the technical requirements of
this specification.
A SIP feature cap in the global tree will be distinguished by the
leading facet "g.". An organization can propose either a designation
indicative of the feature, (e.g., "g.blinktags") or a faceted
designation including the organization name (e.g.,
"g.organization.blinktags").
When a SIP feature cap is registered in the global tree, it needs to
meet the "Expert Review" policies defined in RFC 5226 [RFC5226]. A
designated area expert will review the proposed SIP feature cap, and
consult with members of related mailing lists.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
4.3.3. SIP Feature Cap Registration Tree
The SIP feature cap sip tree is based on the media feature tag sip
tree defined in RFC 3840 [RFC3840].
A SIP feature cap in the sip tree will be distinguished by the
leading facet "sip.".
When a SIP feature cap is registered in the sip tree, it needs to
meet the "IETF Consensus" policies defined in RFC 5226 [RFC5226]. An
RFC, which contains the registration of the SIP feature cap, must be
published.

4.5. SIP Feature Cap Specification Requirements
4.5.1. General
A SIP feature cap specification MUST address the issues defined in
the following subsections, or document why an issue is not applicable
for the specific SIP feature cap. A reference to the specification
MUST be provided when the SIP feature cap is registered with IANA
(see [ref-to-temp]).
It is bad practice for SIP feature cap specifications to repeat
procedures defined in this specification, unless needed for
clarification or emphasis purpose.
A SIP feature cap specification MUST NOT weaken any behavior
designated with "SHOULD" or "MUST" in this specification. However, a
specification MAY strengthen "SHOULD", "MAY", or "RECOMMENDED"
requirements to "MUST" strength if features associated with the SIP
feature cap require it.
4.5.2. Overall Description
The SIP feature cap specification MUST contain an overall description
of the SIP feature cap: how it is used to indicate support of a
feature, a description of the feature associated with the SIP feature
cap, and a description of any additional information (conveyed using
one or more SIP feature cap values) that can be conveyed together
with the SIP feature cap.
4.5.3. Feature Cap Values
A SIP feature cap can have an associated value, or a list of values.
A SIP feature cap value MUST conform to the ABNF defined in
Section 4.2.2.
The SIP feature cap specification MUST define the syntax and
semantics of any value defined for the SIP feature cap, including
possible restrictions related to the usage of a specific value.
A SIP feature cap value can share the name with a value defined for
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
another SIP feature cap. However, a value defined for a SIP feature
cap is feature cap specific, and can only be used with a SIP feature
cap for which the value has explicitly been defined.
It is STRONLY RECOMMENDED to not re-use a value name that already has
been defined for another SIP feature cap, unless the semantics of the
values are the same.
4.5.4. Usage Restrictions
If there are restrictions on how SIP entities can insert a SIP
feature cap, the SIP feature cap specification MUST document such
restrictions.
There might be restrictions related to whether entities are allowed
to insert a SIP feature cap in registration related messages,
standalone transaction messages, or dialog related messages, whether
entities are allowed to insert a SIP feature cap in requests or
responses, whether entities also need to support other features in
order to insert a SIP feature cap, and whether entities are allowed
to indicate support of a feature in conjunction with another feature.
4.5.5. Implementation Details
The SIP feature cap specification SHOULD define the procedure
regarding how implementers shall implement and use the Feature Cap,
or refer to other locations where implementers can find that
information.
NOTE: Sometimes a SIP feature cap designer might choose to not reveal
the implementation details of a SIP feature cap. However, in order
to allow multiple implementations to support the SIP feature cap,
designers are strongly encouraged to provide the implementation
details.
4.5.6. Examples
It is RECOMMENDED that the SIP feature cap specification provide
demonstrative message flow diagrams, paired with complete messages
and message descriptions.
Note that example flows are by definition informative, and do not
replace normative text.
5. Feature-Caps Header Field
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
5.1. Introduction
The Feature-Caps header field is used by SIP entities to convey
support of features and capabilities, using SIP feature caps. SIP
feature caps inserted in a Feature-Caps header field indicate that
the SIP entity that inserted the header field supports the associated
features.
NOTE: It is not possible to convey the address of the SIP entity as a
Feature-Caps header field parameter. Each feature that requires
address information to be conveyed need to define a way to convey
that information as part of the associated SIP feature cap value.
The SIP feature cap specification MUST specify for which SIP methods
and message types, and the associated semantics, the SIP feature cap
is applicable. See section [ref-to-reg-temp} for more information.
No semantics is defined for SIP feature caps present in SIP methods
and message types not covered by the associated SIP feature cap
specification.
Within a given Feature-Caps header field, SIP feature caps are listed
in a non-priority order, and for a given header field any order of
listed SIP feature caps have the same meaning. For example,
"foo;bar" and "bar;foo" have the same meaning(i.e. that the SIP
entity that inserted the feature caps supports the features
associated with the "foo" and "bar" SIP feature caps.
5.2. User Agent and Proxy Behavior
5.2.1. General
If the URI in a Contact header field of a request or response
represents a UA, the UA MUST NOT indicate supported features and
capabilities using a Feature-Caps header field within that request or
response.
When a UA receives a SIP request, or response, that contains one or
more Feature-Caps header fields, the Feature Caps in the header field
inform the UA is about the features supported by the entities that
inserted the header fields. Procedures how features are invoked are
outside the scope of this specification, and MUST be described by
individual Feature Cap specifications.
When the UA receives the SIP request or the response, the SIP feature
caps in the topmost Feature-Caps header field will represent the
supported features "closest" to the UA.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
5.2.2. B2BUA Behavior
The procedures in this section applies to UAs that are part of
B2BUAs, but where the URI in the Contact header field does not
represent the UA, because the B2BUA is also acting as a proxy and
inserts its URI e.g. in a Record-Route header field.
When a UA sends a SIP request, if the UA wants to indicate support of
features towards its downstream SIP entities, it adds a Feature-Caps
header field to the request, together with one or more Feature Caps
associated with the supported features, before it forwards the
request.
If the SIP request is triggered by another SIP request that the B2BUA
has received, the UA MAY forward those Feature-Caps header field by
copying them to the outgoing SIP request, similar to a SIP proxy,
before it adds its own Feature-Caps header field to the SIP request.
When a UA receives a SIP response, if the UA wants to indicate
support of features towards its upstream SIP entities, it adds a
Feature-Caps header field to the response, together with one or more
Feature Caps associated with the supported features, before it
forwards the response.
If the SIP response is triggered by another SIP response that the
B2BUA has received, the UA MAY forward those Feature-Caps header
field by copying them to the outgoing SIP response, similar to a SIP
proxy, before it adds its own Feature-Caps header field to the SIP
response.
5.2.3. Registrar Behavior
If a SIP registrar wants to indicate support of features towards its
upstream SIP entities, it can insert a Feature-Caps header field,
together with Feature Caps associated with the supported features, in
a REGISTER response.
5.2.4. Proxy behavior
When a SIP proxy receives a SIP request, if the proxy wants to
indicate support of features towards its downstream SIP entities, it
adds a Feature-Caps header field to the request, together with one or
more SIP feature caps associated with the supported features, before
it forwards the request.
When a proxy adds a Feature-Caps header field to a SIP message, it
MUST place the header field before any existing Feature-Caps header
fields in the request.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
When a proxy receives a SIP response, if the proxy wants to indicate
support of features towards its upstream SIP entities, it adds a
Feature-Caps header field to the response, together with one or more
SIP feature caps associated with the supported features, before it
forwards the response.
When a proxy adds a Feature-Caps header field to a SIP response, it
MUST place the header field before any existing Feature-Caps header
field in the response.
5.3. SIP Message Type and Response Code Semantics
5.3.1. General
This section describes the general usage and semantics of the
Feature-Caps header field for different SIP message types and
response codes. The usage and semantics of a specific SIP feature
cap MUST be described in the associated SIP feature cap
specification.
NOTE: Future specifications can define usage and semantics of the
Feature-Caps header field for SIP methods, response codes and request
types not specified in this specification.
5.3.2. SIP Dialog
The Feature-Caps header field can be used within an initial SIP
request for a dialog, within a target refresh SIP request, and within
any 18x or 2xx response associated with such requests.
If a SIP feature cap is inserted in a Feature-Caps header field of an
initial request for a dialog, or within a response of such request,
it indicates to the receivers of the request (or response) that the
feature associated with the SIP feature cap is supported for the
duration of the dialog, until a target refresh request is sent for
the dialog, or the dialog is terminated.
Unless a SIP feature cap is inserted in a Feature-Caps header field
or a target refresh request, or within a response of such request, it
indicates to the receivers of the request (or response) that the
feature is no long supported for the dialog.
For a given dialog a SIP entity MUST insert the same SIP feature caps
in all 18x and 2xx responses associated with a given transaction.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
5.3.3. SIP Registration (REGISTER)
The Feature-Caps header field can be used within a SIP REGISTER
request, and within the 200 (OK) response associated with such
request.
If a SIP feature cap is inserted in a Feature-Caps header field of a
SIP REGISTER request, or within a response of such request, it
indicates to the receivers of the request (or response) that the
feature associated with the SIP feature cap is supported for the
duration of the registration, and for all SIP transactions associated
with the registration, until the registration is re-freshed or
terminated.
Unless a SIP feature cap is inserted in a Feature-Caps header field
or a re-registration, or within a response of such request, it
indicates to the receivers of the request (or response) that the
feature is no long supported for the registration.
5.3.4. SIP Stand-Alone Transactions
The Feature-Caps header field can be used within a standalone SIP
request, and within any 18x or 2xx response associated with such
request.
If a SIP feature cap is inserted in a Feature-Caps header field of a
standalone request, or within a response of such request, it
indicates to the receivers of the request (or response) that the
feature associated with the SIP feature cap is supported for the
duration of the standalone transaction.
5.4. Syntax
5.4.1. ABNF
The ABNF for the Feature-Caps header fields is:
Feature-Caps = ("Feature-Caps" / "fc") HCOLON fc-value
*(COMMA fc-value)
fc-value = "*" *(SEMI feature-cap)
Figure 3: ABNF
NOTE: A "*" value means that no information regarding which SIP
entity, or domain, that indicate support of features is provided.
Holmberg, et al. Expires October 19, 2012 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft proxy feature April 2012
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. Registration of the Feature-Caps header field
This specification registers a new SIP header field, Feature-Caps,
according to the process of RFC 3261 [RFC3261].
The following is the registration for the Feature-Caps header field:
RFC Number: RFC XXX
Header Field Name: Feature-Caps Header Field Name: Feature-Caps
Compact Form: fc
7. Security Considerations
SIP feature caps can provide sensitive information about a SIP
entity. RFC 3840 cautions against providing sensitive information to
another party. Once this information is given out, any use may be
made of it.
