Expires: 30 January 2022
Interoperability Profile for Relay User Equipment
draft-ietf-rum-rue-06
Abstract
Video Relay Service (VRS) is a term used to describe a method by
which a hearing persons can communicate with deaf/Hard of Hearing
user using an interpreter ("Communications Assistant") connected via
a videophone to the deaf/HoH user and an audio telephone call to the
hearing user. The CA interprets using sign language on the
videophone link and voice on the telephone link. Often the
interpreters may be supplied by a company or agency termed a
"provider" in this document. The provider also provides a video
service that allows users to connect video devices to their service,
and subsequently to CAs and other deaf/HoH users. It is desirable
that the videophones used by the deaf/HoH/H-I user conform to a
standard so that any device may be used with any provider and that
video calls direct between deaf/HoH users work. This document
describes the interface between a videophone and a provider.

1. Introduction
Video Relay Service (VRS) is a form of Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) that enables persons with hearing disabilities who use
sign language, such as American Sign Language (ASL), to communicate
with voice telephone users through video equipment. These services
also enable communication between such individuals directly in
suitable modalities, including any combination of sign language via
video, real-time text (RTT), and speech.
This Interoperability Profile for Relay User Equipment (RUE) is a
profile of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and related media
protocols that enables end-user equipment registration and calling
for VRS calls. It specifies the minimal set of call flows, Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and ITU-T standards that must be
supported, provides guidance where the standards leave multiple
implementation options, and specifies minimal and extended
capabilities for RUE calls.
Both deaf/HoH to provider (interpreted) and direct deaf/HoH to deaf/
HoH calls are supported on this interface. While there are some
accommodations in this document to maximize backwards compatibility
with other devices and services that are used to provide VRS service,
backwards compatibility is not a requirement, and some interwork may
be required to allow direct video calls to older devices. This
document only describes the interface between the device and the
provider, and not any other interface the provider may have.
2. Terminology
Communication Assistant (CA): A sign-language interpreter working for
a VRS Provider, providing functionally equivalent phone service.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
Communication modality (modality): A specific form of communication
that may be employed by two users, e.g., English voice, Spanish
voice, American Sign Language, English lip-reading, or French real-
time-text. Here, one communication modality is assumed to encompass
both the language and the way that language is exchanged. For
example, English voice and French voice are two different
communication modalities.
Default video relay service: The video relay service operated by a
subscriber's default VRS provider.
Default video relay service Provider (Default Provider): The VRS
provider that registers, and assigns a telephone number to a specific
subscriber, and by default provides the VRS for incoming voice calls
to the user. The default Provider also by default provides VRS for
outgoing relay calls. The user can have more than one telephone
number and each has a default provider.
Outbound Dial-around call: A relay call where the subscriber
specifies the use of a VRS provider other than the default VRS
provider. This can be accomplished by the user dialing a "front-
door" number for a VRS provider and signing or texting a phone number
to call ("two-stage"). Alternatively, this can be accomplished by
the user's RUE software instructing the server of its default VRS
provider to automatically route the call through the alternate
Provider to the desired public switched telephone network (PSTN)
directory number ("one-stage"). Dial-around is per-call -- for any
call, a user can use the default VRS provider or any dial-around VRS
provider.
Full Intra Request (FIR): A request to a video media sender,
requiring that media sender to send a Decoder Refresh Point at the
earliest opportunity. FIR is sometimes known as "instantaneous
decoder refresh request", "video fast update request", or "fast
update request". Point-to-Point Call (P2P Call): A call between two
RUEs, without including a CA.
Relay call: A call that allows persons with hearing or speech
disabilities to use a RUE to talk to users of traditional voice
services with the aid of a communication assistant (CA) to relay the
communication. Please refer to FCC-VRS-GUIDE.
Relay service (RS): A service that allow a registered subscriber to
use a RUE to make and receive relay calls, point-to-point calls, and
relay-to-relay calls. The functions provided by the relay service
include the provision of media links supporting the communication
modalities used by the caller and callee, and user registration and
validation, authentication, authorization, automatic call distributor
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
(ACD) platform functions, routing (including emergency call routing),
call setup, mapping, call features (such as call forwarding and video
mail), and assignment of CAs to relay calls.
Relay service Provider (Provider): An organization that operates a
relay service. A subscriber selects a relay service Provider to
assign and register a telephone number for their use, to register
with for receipt of incoming calls, and to provide the default
service for outgoing calls.
Relay user: Please refer to "subscriber".
Relay user E.164 Number (user E.164): The telephone number (in ITU-T
E.164 format) assigned to the user.
Relay user equipment (RUE): A SIP user agent (UA) enhanced with extra
features to support a subscriber in requesting, receiving and using
relay calls. A RUE may take many forms, including a stand-alone
device; an application running on a general-purpose computing device
such as a laptop, tablet or smart phone; or proprietary equipment
connected to a server that provides the RUE interface.
RUE Interface: the interfaces described in this document between a
RUE and a VRS provider who supports it
Sign language: A language that uses hand gestures and body language
to convey meaning including, but not limited to, American Sign
Language (ASL).
Subscriber: An individual who has registered with a Provider and who
obtains service by using relay user equipment. This is the
traditional telecom term for an end-user customer, which in our case
is a relay user. A user may be a subscriber to more than one VRS
provider.
Video relay service (VRS): A relay service for people with hearing or
speech disabilities who use sign language to communicate using video
equipment (video RUE) with other people in real time. The video link
allows the CA to view and interpret the subscriber's signed
conversation and relay the conversation back and forth with the other
party.
3. Requirements Language
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
4. General Requirements
All HTTP/HTTPS connections specified throughout this document MUST
use HTTPS. Both HTTPS and all SIP connections MUST use TLS
conforming to at least [RFC7525] and must support [RFC8446]
All text data payloads not otherwise constrained by a specification
in another standards document MUST be encoded as Unicode UTF/8.
Implementations MUST support IPv4 and IPv6. Dual stack support is
NOT required and provider implementations MAY support separate
interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 by having more than one server in the
appropriate SRV record where there is either an A or AAAA record in
each server DNS record but not both. The same version of IP MUST be
used for both signaling and media of a call.
5. SIP Signaling
Implementations of the RUE Interface MUST conform to the following
core SIP standards [RFC3261] (Base SIP) [RFC3263] (Locating SIP
Servers), [RFC3264] (Offer/Answer), [RFC3840] (User Agent
Capabilities), [RFC5626] (Outbound), [RFC8866] (Session Description
Protocol), [RFC3323] (Privacy), [RFC3605] (RTCP Attribute in SDP),
[RFC6665] (SIP Events), [RFC3311] (UPDATE Method), [RFC5393] (Loop-
Fix), [RFC5658] (Record Route fix), [RFC5954] (ABNF fix), [RFC3960]
(Early Media), and [RFC6442] (Geolocation Header).
In the above documents the RUE device conforms to the requirements of
a SIP user Agent, and the provider conforms to the requirements of
Registrar and Proxy Server where the document specifies different
behavior for different roles. The only requirement on providers for
RFC6655 (Events) is support for the Message Waiting Indicator (See
Section Section 8), which is optional and providers not supporting
voicemail need not support RFC6665.
In addition, implementation MUST conform to [RFC3327] (Path),
[RFC5245] (ICE), [RFC3326] (Reason header), [RFC3515] (REFER Method),
[RFC3891] (Replaces Header), [RFC3892] (Referred-By).
Implementations MUST include a "User-Agent" header field uniquely
identifying the RUE application, platform, and version in all SIP
requests, and MUST include a "Server" header field with the same
content in SIP responses.
Implementations intended to support mobile platforms MUST support
[RFC8599] and MUST use it as at least one way to support waking up
the client from background state.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
5.1. Registration
The RUE MUST register with a SIP registrar, following [RFC3261] and
[RFC5626] at a provider it has an account with. If the configuration
(see Section 9.2) contains multiple "outbound-proxies", then the RUE
MUST use them as specified in [RFC5626] to establish multiple flows.
The request-URI for the REGISTER request MUST contain the "provider-
domain" from the configuration. The To-URI and From-URI MUST be
identical URIs, formatted as specified in Section 13, using the
"phone-number" and "provider-domain" from the configuration.
The RUE determines the URI to resolve by initially determining if an
outbound proxy is configured. If it is, the URI will be that of the
outbound proxy. If no outbound proxy is configured, the URI will be
the Request-URI from the REGISTER request. The RUE extracts the
domain from that URI and consults the DNS record for that domain.
The DNS entry MUST contain NAPTR records conforming to RFC3263. One
of those NAPTR records MUST specify TLS as the preferred transport
for SIP. For example, a DNS NAPTR query for "sip:
p1.red.example.netv" could return:
IN NAPTR 50 50 "s" "SIPS+D2T" "" _sips._tcp.p1.red.example.net
IN NAPTR 90 50 "s" "SIP+D2T" "" _sip._tcp.p1.red.example.net
If the RUE receives a 439 (First Hop Lacks Outbound Support) response
to a REGISTER request, it MUST re-attempt registration without using
the outbound mechanism.
The registrar MAY authenticate using SIP digest authentication. The
credentials to be used (username and password) MUST be supplied
within the credentials section of the configuration and identified by
the realm the registrar uses in a digest challenge. This username/
password combination SHOULD NOT be the same as that used for other
purposes, such as retrieving the RUE configuration or logging into
the Provider's customer service portal. [RFC8760] MUST be supported
by all implementations and SHA-512 digest algorithms MUST be
supported.
If the registration request fails with an indication that credentials
from the configuration are invalid, then the RUE SHOULD retrieve a
fresh version of the configuration. If credentials from a freshly
retrieved configuration are found to be invalid, then the RUE MUST
cease attempts to register and SHOULD inform the RUE User of the
problem.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
Support for multiple simultaneous registrations with multiple
providers by the RUE is OPTIONAL for the RUE (and providers do not
need any support for this option).
Multiple simultaneous RUE SIP registrations from different RUE
devices with the same SIP URI SHOULD be permitted by the Provider.
The Provider MAY limit the total number of simultaneous
registrations. When a new registration request is received that
results in exceeding the limit on simultaneous registrations, the
Provider MAY then prematurely terminate another registration;
however, it SHOULD NOT do this if it would disconnect an active call.
If a Provider prematurely terminates a registration to reduce the
total number of concurrent registrations with the same URI, it SHOULD
take some action to prevent the affected RUE from automatically re-
registering and re-triggering the condition.
5.2. Session Establishment
5.2.1. Normal Call Origination
After initial SIP registration, the RUE adheres to SIP [RFC3261]
basic call flows, as documented in [RFC3665].
A RUE device MUST route all outbound calls through an outbound proxy
if configured.
The SIP URIs in the To field and the Request-URI MUST be formatted as
specified in subsection Section 5.4 using the destination phone
number, or as SIP URIs, as provided in the configuration
(Section 9.2. The domain field of the URIs SHOULD be the "provider-
domain" from the configuration (e.g.,
sip:+13115552368@red.example.com;user=phone) except that an anonymous
call would not use the provider domain.
Anonymous calls MUST be supported by all implementations. An
anonymous call is signaled per [RFC3323].
The From-URI MUST be formatted as specified in Section 5.4, using the
phone-number and "provider-domain" from the configuration. It SHOULD
also contain the display-name from the configuration when present.
(Please refer to Section 9.2.)
Negotiated media MUST follow the guidelines specified in Section 6 of
this document.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
To allow time to timeout an unanswered call and direct it to a
videomail server, the User Agent Client MUST NOT impose a time limit
less than the default SIP Invite transaction timeout of 3 minutes.
5.2.2. Dial-Around Origination
Providers and RUE devices MUST support both One-Stage and Two-Stage
dial-around
Outbound dial-around calls allow a RUE user to select any Provider to
provide interpreting services for any call. "Two-stage" dial-around
calls involve the RUE calling a telephone number that reaches the
dial-around Provider and using signing or DTMF to provide the called
party telephone number. In two-stage dial-around, the To URI is the
front door URI (see Section Section 9.2 of the dial-around Provider
and the domain of the URI is the Provider domain from the
configuration. The provider list service (Section 9.1) can be used
to by the RUE to obtain a list of providers and then the
configuration service (xref target="providerConfig"/>) without
credentials can be used to find the front door URI for each of these
providers.
One-stage dial-around is a method where the called party telephone
number is provided in the To URI and the Request-URI, using the
domain of the dial-around Provider.
For one-stage dial-around, the RUE MUST follow the procedures in
Section 5.2.1 with the following exception: the domain part of the
SIP URIs in the To field and the Request-URI MUST be the domain of
the dial-around Provider, discovered according to Section 9.1.
The following is a partial example of a one-stage dial-around call
from VRS user +1-555-222-0001 hosted by red.example.com to a hearing
user +1-555-123-4567 using dial-around to green.example.com for the
relay service. Only important details of the messages are shown and
many header fields have been omitted:

Figure 1
5.2.3. RUE Contact Information
To identify the owner of a RUE, the initial INVITE for a call from a
RUE, or the 200 OK accepting a call by a RUE, identifies the owner by
sending a Call-Info header with a purpose parameter of "rue-owner".
The URI MAY be an HTTPS URI or Content-Indirect URL. The latter is
defined by [RFC2392] to locate message body parts. This URI type is
present in a SIP message to convey the RUE ownership information as a
MIME body. The form of the RUE ownership information is a jCard
[RFC7095]. Please refer to [RFC6442] for an example of using
Content-Indirect URLs in SIP messages. Note that use of the Content-
Indirect URL usually implies multiple message bodies ("mime/
multipart").
5.2.4. Incoming Calls
The RUE MUST only accept inbound calls sent to it by a proxy
mentioned in the configuration.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
If Multiple simultaneous RUE SIP registrations from different RUE
devices with the same SIP URI exist, the Provider MUST parallel fork
the call to all registered RUEs so that they ring at the same time.
The first RUE to reply with a 200 OK answers the call and the
Provider MUST CANCEL other call branches.
5.2.5. Emergency Calls
Implementations MUST conform to [RFC6881] for handling of emergency
calls, except that if the device is unable to determine its own
location, it MAY send the emergency call without a Geolocation header
and without a Route header (since it would be unable to query the
LoST server for a route per RFC6881). If an emergency call arrives
at the provider without a Geolocation header, the provider MUST
supply location by adding the Geolocation header, and MUST supply the
route by querying the LoST server with that location.
If the emergency call is to be handled using existing country
specific procedures, the Provider is responsible for modifying the
INVITE to conform to the country-specific requirements. In this
case, location MAY be extracted from the RFC6881 conformant INVITE
and used to propagate it to the appropriate country-specific
entities. Because the RUE may have a more accurate and timely
location of the device than the a manual entry location for nomadic
RUE devices, but country-specific procedures require the location to
be pre-loaded in some entity prior to placing an emergency call,
implementations of a RUE device MAY send a Geolocation header
containing its location in the REGISTER request if the configuration
specifies it. That information MAY be used to populate the location
to appropriate country-specific entities. Re-registration SHOULD be
used to update the location, so long as the rate of re-registration
is limited if the device is moving.
Implementations MUST implement Additional Data, [RFC7852]. RUE
devices MUST implement Data Provider, Device Implementation and
Owner/Subscriber Information blocks.
5.3. Mid Call Signaling
Implementations MUST support re-INVITE to renegotiate media session
parameters (among other uses). Per Section 6.1, implementations
MUST, be able to support an INFO request for full frame refresh for
devices that do not support RTCP mechanisms (please refer to
Section 6.8). Implementations MUST support an in-dialog REFER
([RFC3515] updated by [RFC7647] and including support for norefersub
per [RFC4488]) with the Replaces header [RFC3891] to enable call
transfer.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
5.4. URI Representation of Phone Numbers
SIP URIs constructed from non-URI sources (dial strings) and sent to
SIP proxies by the RUE MUST be represented as follows, depending on
whether they can be represented as an E.164 number. In this section
"expressed as an E.164 number" includes numbers such as toll free
numbers that are not actually E.164 numbers, but have the same
format.
A dial string that can be expressed as an E.164 phone number MUST be
represented as a SIP URI with a URI ";user=phone" tag. The user part
of the URI MUST be in conformance with 'global-number' defined in
[RFC3966]. The user part MUST NOT contain any 'visual-separator'
characters.
Dial strings that cannot be expressed as E.164 numbers MUST be
represented as dialstring URIs, as specified by [RFC4967], e.g.,
sip:411@red.example.net;user=dialstring.
The domain part of Relay Service URIs and User Address of Records
(AoR) MUST resolve (per [RFC3263]) to globally routable IPv4 and/or
IPv6 addresses.
5.5. Transport
Implementations MUST conform to [RFC8835] except that that this
specification does not use the WebRTC data channel. See
Section Section 6.2 for how RUE supports real time text without the
data channel.
Implementations MUST support SIP outbound [RFC5626] (please also
refer to Section 5.1).
6. Media
This specification adopts the media specifications for WebRTC
([RFC8825]). Where WebRTC defines how interactive media
communications may be established using a browser as a client, this
specification assumes a normal SIP call. The RTP, RTCP, SDP and
specific media requirements specified for WebRTC are adopted for this
document. The RUE is a WebRTC non-browser" endpoint, except as noted
expressly below.
The following sections specify the WebRTC documents to which
conformance is required. "Mandatory to Implement" means a conforming
implementation must implement the specified capability. It does not
mean that the capability must be used in every session. For example,
OPUS is a mandatory to implement audio codec, and all conforming
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
implementations must support OPUS. However, implementation
presenting a call across the RUE Interface where the call originates
in the Public Switched Telephone Network, or an older, non-RUE-
compatible device, which only offers G.711 audio, does not need to
include the OPUS codec in the offer, since it cannot be used with
that call.
6.1. SRTP and SRTCP
Implementations MUST support [RFC8834] except that MediaStreamTracks
are not used. Implementations MUST conform to Section 6.4 of
[RFC8827].
6.2. Text-Based Communication
Implementations MUST support real-time text ([RFC4102] and [RFC4103])
via T.140 media. One original and two redundant generations MUST be
transmitted and supported, with a 300 ms transmission interval. Note
that this is not how real time text is transmitted in WebRTC and some
form of transcoder would be required to interwork real time text in
the data channel of WebRTC to RFC4103 real time text.
6.3. Video
Implementations MUST conform to [RFC7742] with the exception that,
since backwards compatibility is desirable and older devices do not
support VP8, that only H.264, as specified in [RFC7742] is Mandatory
to Implement and VP8 support is OPTIONAL at both the device and
providers.
6.4. Audio
Implementations MUST conform to [RFC7874].
6.5. DTMF Digits
Implementations MUST support the "audio/telephone-event" [RFC4733]
media type. They MUST support conveying event codes 0 through 11
(DTMF digits "0"-"9", "*","#") defined in Table 7 of [RFC4733].
Handling of other tones is OPTIONAL.
6.6. Session Description Protocol
The SDP offers and answers MUST conform to the SDP rules in [RFC8829]
except that the RUE Interface uses SIP transport for SDP and the SDP
for real time text MUST specify [RFC4103].
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
6.7. Privacy
The RUE MUST be able to control privacy of the user by implementing a
one-way mute of audio and or video, without signaling, locally, but
MUST maintain any NAT bindings by periodically sending media packets
on all active media sessions containing silence/comfort noise/black
screen/etc. per [RFC6263].
6.8. Negative Acknowledgment, Packet Loss Indicator, and Full
Intraframe Request Features
NACK SHOULD be used when negotiated and conditions warrant its use.
Signaling picture losses as Packet Loss Indicator (PLI) SHOULD be
preferred, as described in [RFC5104].
FIR SHOULD be used only in situations where not sending a decoder
refresh point would render the video unusable for the users, as per
RFC5104 subsection 4.3.1.2.
For backwards compatibility with calling devices that do not support
the foregoing methods, implementations MUST implement SIP INFO
messages to send and receive XML encoded Picture Fast Update messages
according to [RFC5168].
7. Contacts
7.1. CardDAV Login and Synchronization
Support of CardDAV by Providers is OPTIONAL.
The RUE MUST and Providers MAY be able to synchronize the user's
contact directory between the RUE endpoint and one maintained by the
user's VRS provider using CardDAV ([RFC6352] and [RFC6764]).
The configuration MAY supply a username and domain identifying a
CardDAV server and address book for this account.
To access the CardDAV server and address book, the RUE MUST follow
Section 6 of RFC6764, using the chosen username and domain in place
of an email address. If the request triggers a challenge for digest
authentication credentials, the RUE MUST attempt to continue using
matching "credentials" from the configuration. If no matching
credentials are configured, the RUE MUST use the SIP credentials from
the configuration. If the SIP credentials fail, the RUE MUST query
the user.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
Synchronization using CardDAV MUST be a two-way synchronization
service, with proper handling of asynchronous adds, changes, and
deletes at either end of the transport channel.
7.2. Contacts Import/Export Service
Implementations MUST be able to export/import the list of contacts in
jCard [RFC7095] json format.
The RUE accesses this service via the "contacts" URI in the
configuration. The URL MUST resolve to identify a web server
resource that imports/exports contact lists for authorized users.
The RUE stores/retrieves the contact list (address book) by issuing
an HTTPS POST or GET request. If the request triggers a challenge
for digest authentication credentials, the RUE MUST attempt to
continue using matching "credentials" from the configuration. If no
credentials are configured, the RUE MUST query the user.
8. Mail Waiting Indicator (MWI)
Providers MUST support MWI if they support video mail. RUE devices
MUST support MWI.
Implementations MUST support subscriptions to "message-summary"
events [RFC3842] to the URI specified in the configuration.
In notification bodies, videomail messages SHOULD be reported using
"message-context-class multimedia-message" defined in [RFC3458].
9. Provisioning and Provider Selection
To simplify how users interact with RUE devices, the RUE interface
separates provisioning into two parts. One provides a directory of
providers so that a user interface that allows easy provider
selection either for registering or for dial-around. The other
provides configuration data for the device for each provider.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
9.1. RUE Provider Selection
To allow the user to select a relay service, the RUE MAY at any time
obtain (typically on startup) a list of Providers that provide
service in a country. IANA has established a registry that contains
a two letter country code and a URI. The URI, when used with the
following interface, returns a list of provider names for a country
code suitable for display, with a corresponding a URI to obtain
information about that provider. The provider URI is the entry point
of a simple web service that returns contact information for that
provider.
Each country that supports video relay service using this
specification MAY support the provider list. This document does not
specify who maintains the list. Some possibilities are a regulator
or entity designated by a regulator, an agreement among providers to
provide the list, or a user group.
The web service also has a simple version mechanism that returns a
list of versions of the web service it supports. This document
describes version 1.0. Versions are described as a major version,
the period "." and a minor version, where major and minor versions
are integers. A backwards compatible change within a major version
MAY increment only the minor version number. A non-backwards
compatible change MUST increment the major version number. To
achieve backwards compatibility, implementations MUST ignore any
object members they do not implement and minor version definitions
SHALL only add objects, non-required members of existing objects, and
non-mandatory-to use functions and SHALL NOT delete any objects,
members of objects or functions. This means an implementation of a
specific major version and minor version is backwards compatible with
all minor versions of the major version. The versions mechanism
returns an array of supported versions, one for each major version
supported, with the minor version listed being the highest supported
minor version.
The V1 provider list is a json object consisting of an array where
each entry describes one Provider. Each entry consists of the
following items:
* name: This parameter contains the text label identifying the
Provider and is meant to be displayed to the human VRS user.
* domain: The domain parameter is used for configuration purposes by
the RUE (as discussed in Section 9.2)
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
The VRS user interacts with the RUE to select from the Provider list
one or more Providers with whom the user has already established an
account, wishes to establish an account, or wishes to use the
provider for a one stage dial around.

9.2. RUE Configuration Service
A RUE device may retrieve a provider configuration the using a simple
HTTPs web service. There are two entry points. One is used without
user credentials, the response includes configuration data for new
user sign up and dial around. The other uses the userid/password to
authenticate to the interface and returns configuration data for the
RUE.
An optional parameter may be provided to the interface which is an
API Key. The implementation MAY have an API Key obtained from the
provider and specific to the implementation. The method the API Key
is obtained is not specified in this document. The provider MAY
refuse to provide service to an implementation presenting an API Key
it does not recognize.
A required parameter which contains an instance identifier. This
parameter MUST be the same value each time this instance (same
implementation on same device) queries the interface. This may be
used by the provider, for example, to associate a location with the
instance for emergency calls.
The data returned is a json object consisting of an array of key/
value configuration parameters to be used by the RUE.
The configuration API also provides the same version mechanism as
specified above in Section 9.1. The version of the configuration
service MAY be different than the version of the provider list
service.
The configuration data payload includes the following data items.
Items not noted as (OPTIONAL) are REQUIRED. If other unexpected
items are found, they MUST be ignored.
9.2.1. Provider Configuration
* signup: (OPTIONAL) an array of json objects consisting of:
- language: entry from the IANA language subtag registry
- uri: a URI to the website for creating a new account in the
supported language. The new user signup URI may only initiate
creation of a new account. Various vetting, approval and other
processes may be needed, which could take time, before the
account is established. The result of creating a new account
would be a username and password, which would be manually
entered into the RUE device to allow connection to the
Provider.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
* dialAround: an array of json objects consisting of:
- language: entry from the IANA language subtag registry
- frontDoor: a URI to a queue of interpreters supporting the
specified language for a two stage dial-around
- oneStage: a URI that can be used with a one-stage dial-around
Section 5.2.2 using an interpreter supporting the specified
language
* helpDesk: (OPTIONAL) an array of json objets consisting of:
- language: entry from the IANA language subtag registry
- uri: URI that reaches a help desk for callers supporting the
specified language.
9.2.2. RUE Configuration
* lifetime: Specifies how long (in seconds) the RUE MAY cache the
configuration values. Values may not be valid when lifetime
expires. If the RUE caches configuration values, it MUST
cryptographically protect them. The RUE SHOULD retrieve a fresh
copy of the configuration before the lifetime expires or as soon
as possible after it expires. The lifetime is not guaranteed: the
configuration may change before the lifetime value expires. In
that case, the Provider MAY indicate this by generating
authorization challenges to requests and/or prematurely
terminating a registration.Emergency Calls MUST continue to work.
* sip-password: (OPTIONAL) a password used for SIP, STUN and TURN
authentication. The RUE device retains this data, which must be
stored securely. If it is not supplied, but was supplied on a
prior invocation of this interface, the most recently supplied
password MUST be used. If it was never supplied, the password
used to authenticate to the configuration service is used for SIP,
STUN and TURN.
* phone-number: (OPTIONAL) The telephone number (in E.164 format)
assigned to this subscriber. This becomes the user portion of the
SIP URI identifying the subscriber.
* outbound-proxy: (OPTIONAL) A URI of a SIP proxy to be used when
sending requests to the Provider.
* mwi: (OPTIONAL) A URI identifying a SIP event server that
generates "message-summary" events for this subscriber.
Rosen Expires 30 January 2022 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Relay User Equipment Profile July 2021
* videomail: (OPTIONAL) A SIP URI that can be called to retrieve
videomail messages.
* contacts: (CONDITIONAL) An HTTPS URI that may be used to export
(retrieve) the subscriber's complete contact list managed by the
Provider.
* carddav: (OPTIONAL) A username, password and domain name
(separated by ""@"") identifying a "CardDAV" server that can be
used to synchronize the RUE's contact list with the contact list
managed by the Provider. Optionally contains a user name and/or
password that may be used with the server. If username or
password are not supplied, the main account credentials are used.
* sendLocationWithRegistration: (OPTIONAL) True if the RUE should
send a Geolocation Header with REGISTER, false if it should not.
Defaults to false if not present.
* ice-servers: (OPTIONAL) An array of URLs identifying STUN and TURN
servers available for use by the RUE for establishing media
streams in calls via the Provider.

9.2.4. Using the Provider Selection and RUE Configuration Services
Together
One way to use these two services is:
* At startup, the RUE retrieves the provider list for the country it
is located in.
* For each provider in the list:
- If the RUE does not have credentials for that provider, use the
configuration service without credentials to obtain signup,
dial around and helpdesk information.
- If the RUE has credentials for that provider, use the
configuration service with credentials to obtain all
configuration data.

11. IANA Considerations
11.1. RUE Provider List Registry
IANA has created the "RUE Provider List" registry. The management
policy for this registry is "Expert Review" [RFC8126]. The expert
should prefer a regulator operated or designated list interface
operator. Otherwise, evidence that the proposed list interface
operator will provide a complete list of providers is required to add
the entry to the registry. Updates to the registry are permitted if
the expert judges the new proposed uri to be better than the existing
entry. Each entry has two fields, values for both of which MUST be
provided when registering or updating an entry:
* country code: a two letter ISO93166 country code
* list uri: a uri that implements the provider list interface for
that country
11.2. Registration of rue-owner purpose parameter
This document defines the new predefined value "rue-owner" for the
"purpose" header field parameter of the Call-Info header field. This
modifies the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values"
subregistry of the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters"
registry by adding this RFC as a reference to the line for the header
field "Call-Info" and parameter name "purpose"
* Header Field: Call-Info
* Parameter Name: purpose
* Predefined Values: Yes
12. Security Considerations
The RUE is required to communicate with servers on public IP
addresses and specific ports to perform its required functions. If
it is necessary for the RUE to function on a corporate or other
network that operates a default-deny firewall between the RUE and
these services, the user must arrange with their network manager for
passage of traffic through such a firewall in accordance with the
protocols and associated SRV records as exposed by the Provider.
Because VRS providers may use different ports for different services,
these port numbers may differ from Provider to Provider.
