Abstract

   The MediaCtrl work group in the IETF has proposed an architecture for
   controlling media services.  The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is
   used as the signalling protocol which provides many inherent
   capabilities for message routing.  In addition to such signalling
   properties, a need exists for intelligent, application level media
   service selection based on non-static signalling properties.  This is
   especially true when considered in conjunction with deployment
   architectures that include 1:M and M:N combinations of Application
   Servers and Media Servers.  This document introduces a Media Resource
   Broker (MRB) entity which manages the availability of Media Servers
   and the media resource demands of Application Servers.  The document
   includes potential deployment options for an MRB and appropriate
   interfaces to Application Servers and Media Servers.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


1.  Introduction

   As IP based multimedia infrastructures mature, the complexity and
   demands from deployments increase.  Such complexity will result in a
   wide variety of capabilities from a range of vendors that should all
   be interoperable using the architecture and protocols produced by the
   MediaCtrl work group.  It should be possible for a controlling entity
   to be assisted in Media Server selection so that the most appropriate
   resource is selected for a particular operation.  The importance
   increases when you introduce a flexible level of deployment
   scenarios, as specified in the RFC 5167 [RFC5167] and RFC 5567
   [RFC5567] documents.  These documents make statements like "it should
   be possible to have a many-to-many relationship between Application
   Servers and Media Servers that use this protocol".  This leads to the
   following deployment architectures being possible when considering
   media resources, to provide what can be effectively described as
   Media Resource Brokering.

   The simplest deployment view is illustrated in Figure 1.



   +---+-----+---+                         +---+-----+---+
   | Application |                         |    Media    |
   |   Server    |<-------MS Control------>|    Server   |
   +-------------+                         +-------------+



                       Figure 1: Basic Architecture

   This simply involves a single Application Server and Media Server.
   Expanding on this view, it is also possible for an Application Server
   to control multiple (greater that 1) Media Server instances at any
   one time.  This deployment view is illustrated in Figure 2.
   Typically, such architectures are associated with application logic
   that requires high demand media services.  It is more than possible
   that each media server possesses a different media capability set.
   Media servers may offer different media services as specified in the
   Mediactrl architecture document.  A Media server may have similar
   media functionality but may have different capacity or media codec
   support.

   +---+-----+---+                  |      +---+-----+---+

                                    |      +---+-----+---+
                                    +----->|    Media    |
                                           |    Server   |
                                           +-------------+


                     Figure 2: Multiple Media Servers

   Figure 3 conveys the opposite view to that in Figure 2.  In this
   model there are a number of (greater than 1) application servers,
   possibly supporting dissimilar applications, controlling a single
   media server.  Typically, such architectures are associated with
   application logic that requires low demand media services.

   |   Server    |<-----+
   +-------------+      |
                        |

   | Application |      |                  |    Media    |

   |   Server    |<-----+
   +-------------+



                  Figure 3: Multiple Application Servers

   The final deployment view is the most complex.  In this model (M:N)
   there exists any number of Application Servers and any number of
   Media Servers.  It is again possible in this model that media servers
   might not be homogeneous and have different capability sets and

   The remaining sections in this specification will focus on a new
   entity called a Media Resource Broker (MRB) which can be utilised in
   the deployment architectures described previously in this section.
   The MRB entity provides the ability to obtain media resource
   information and appropriately allocate(broker) on behalf of client
   applications.

   The high level deployment options discussed in this section rely on
   network architecture and policy to prohibit inappropriate use.  Such
   policies are out of the scope of this document.

   This document will take a look at the specific problem areas related
   to such deployment architectures.  It is recognised that the
   solutions proposed in this document should be equally adaptable to
   all of the previously described deployment models.  It is also
   recognised that the solution is far more relevant to some of the
   previously discussed deployment models and can almost be viewed as
   redundant on others.

2.  Conventions and Terminology

   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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   This document inherits terminology proposed in RFC 5567 [RFC5567] and
   Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230] documents.  In addition,
   the following terms are defined for use in this document and for use
   in the context of the MediaCtrl Work group in the IETF:

   Media Resource Broker (MRB):   A logical entity that is responsible
      for both collection of appropriate published Media Server (MS)
      information and selecting appropriate Media Server resources on
      behalf of consuming entities.

   Query MRB:   An instantiation of an MRB (See previous definition)
      that provides an interface for an Application Server to retrieve
      the address of an appropriate Media Server.  The result returned
      to the Application Server can be influenced by information
      contained in the query request.

   In-line MRB:   An instantiation of an MRB (See previous definition)
      that directly receives requests on the signalling path.  There is
      no separate query.

   CFW:   Media Control Channel Framework, as specified in [RFC6230].

   Within the context of In-line MRBs, additional terms are defined:

   In-line Aware MRB Mode (IAMM):   Defined in Section 5.2.2.1.

   In-line Unaware MRB Mode (IUMM):   Defined in Section 5.3.

   The document will often specify when a specific identifier in a
   protocol message needs to be unique.  Unless stated otherwise, such
   uniqueness will always be within the scope of the Media Servers
   controlled by the same Media Resource Broker.  The interaction
   between different Media Resource Broker instances, as the
   partitioning of a logical Media Resource Broker, is out of scope to
   this document.

3.  Problem Discussion

   As discussed in Section 1, a goal of the MediaCtrl group is to
   produce a solution that will service a wide variety of deployment
   architectures.  Such architectures range from the simplest 1:1
   relationship between Media Servers and Application Servers to
   potentially linearly scaling 1:M, M:1 and M:N deployments.

   Managing such deployments is itself non-trivial for the proposed
   solution until an additional number of factors are included into the
   equation that increase complexity.  As Media Servers evolve it must
   be taken into consideration that, where many can exist in a
   deployment, they may not have been produced by the same vendor and
   may not have the same capability set.  It should be possible for an
   Application Server that exists in a deployment to select a Media
   Service based on a common, appropriate capability set.  In
   conjunction with capabilities, it is also important to take available
   resources into consideration.  The ability to select an appropriate
   Media Service function is an extremely useful feature but becomes
   even more powerful when considered with available resources for
   servicing a request.

   In conclusion, the intention is to create a tool set that allows
   MediaCtrl deployments to effectively utilize the available media
   resources.  It should be noted that in the simplest deployments where
   only a single media server exists, an MRB function is probably not
   required.  Only a single capability set exists and resource
   availability can be handled using the appropriate underlying
   signalling, e.g., SIP response.  This document does not prohibit such
   uses of an MRB, it simply provides the tools for various entities to
   interact where appropriate.  It is also worth noting that the
   functions specified in this document aim to provide a 'best effort'
   view of media resources at the time of request for initial Media
   Server routing decisions.  Any dramatic change in media capabilities
   or capacity after a request has taken place should be handled by the
   underlying protocol.

   It should be noted that there may be additional information that it
   is desirable for the MRB to have for purposes of selecting a Media
   Server resource, such as resource allocation rules across different
   applications, planned or unplanned downtime of Media Server
   resources, the planned addition of future Media Server resources, or
   Media Server resource capacity models.  How the MRB acquires such
   information is outside the scope of this document.  The specific
   techniques used for selecting an appropriate Media Resource by an MRB
   is also outside the scope of this document.

4.  Deployment Scenario Options

   Research into Media Resource Brokering concluded that a couple of
   high level models provided an appropriate level of flexibility.  The
   general principles of "in-line" and "query" MRB concepts are
   discussed in the rest of this section.  It should be noted that while
   the interfaces are different they both use common underlying
   mechanisms defined in this specification.

4.1.  Query MRB

   The "Query" model for MRB interactions provides the ability for a
   client of media services (for example an Application Server) to "ask"
   an MRB for an appropriate Media Server, as illustrated in Figure 5.

                            Figure 5: Query MRB

   In this deployment, the Media Servers use the "Media Server Resource
   Publish Interface", as discussed in Section 5.1, to convey capability
   sets as well as resource information.  This is depicted by (1) in
   Figure 5.  It is then the MRB's responsibility to accumulate all
   appropriate information relating to media services in the logical
   deployment cluster.  The Application Server (or other media services
   client) is then able to query the MRB for an appropriate resource (as
   identified by (2) in Figure 5).  Such a query would carry specific
   information related to the Media Service required and enable the MRB
   to provide an increased accuracy in its response.  This particular

   interface is discussed in "Media Resource Consumer Interface" in
   Section 5.2.  The Application Server is then able to direct control
   commands (for example create conference) and Media Dialogs to the
   appropriate Media Server, as shown by (3) in Figure 5.  Additionally,
   with Query mode, the MRB is not directly in the signalling path
   between the Application Server and the selected Media Server
   resource.

4.1.1.  Hybrid Query MRB

   As mentioned previously, it is the intention that a tool kit is
   provided for MRB functionality within a MediaCtrl architecture.  It
   is expected that in specific deployment scenarios the role of the MRB
   might be co-hosted as a hybrid logical entity with an Application
   Server, as shown in Figure 6.

          Figure 6: Hybrid Query MRB - Application Server Hosted

   This diagram is identical to that in Figure 5 with the exception that
   the MRB is now hosted on the Application Server.  The "Media Server
   Publish Interface" is still being used to accumulate resource
   information at the MRB but as it is co-hosted on the Application
   Server, the "Media Server Consumer Interface" has collapsed.  It
   might still exist within the Application Server/MRB interaction but
   this is an implementation issue.  This type of deployment suits a
   single Application Server environment but it should be noted that a
   "Media Server Consumer Interface" could then be offered from the
   hybrid if required.

   In a similar manner, the Media Server could also act as a hybrid for
   the deployment cluster, as illustrated in Figure 7.

                  Figure 7: Hybrid Query MRB - MS Hosted

   In this example, the MRB has collapsed and is co-hosted by the Media
   Server.  The "Media Server Consumer Interface" is still available to
   the Application Servers (1) to query Media Server resources.  The
   "Media Server Publish Interface" has collapsed onto the Media Server.
   It might still exist within the Media Server/MRB interaction but this
   is an implementation issue.  This type of deployment suits a single
   Media Server environment but it should be noted that a "Media Server
   Publish Interface" could then be offered from the hybrid if required.
   A typical use case scenario for such a topology would be a single
   Media Server representing a pool of MSs in a cluster.  In this case,
   the MRB would actually be handling a cluster of Media Servers, rather
   than one.

4.2.  In-Line MRB

   The "In-line" MRB is architecturally different from the "Query" model
   discussed in the previous section.  The concept of a separate query
   disappears.  The client of the MRB simply uses the media resource
   control and media dialog signalling to involve the MRB.  This type of
   deployment is illustrated in Figure 8.

                           Figure 8: In-line MRB

   The Media Servers still use the 'Media Server Publish Interface' to
   convey capabilities and resources to the MRB - as illustrated by (1).
   The media server Control (and Media dialogs as well, if required) are
   sent to the MRB (2) which then selects an appropriate Media Server
   (3) and remain in the signalling path between the Application Server
   and the Media Server resources.

   In-line MRB can be split into two distinct logical roles which can be
   applied on a per request basis.  They are:

   In-line Unaware MRB Mode (IUMM):  Allows an MRB to act on behalf of
      clients requiring media services who are not aware of an MRB or
      its operation.  In this case the Application Server does not
      provide explicit information on the kind of Media Server resource
      it needs (as in Section 5.2) and the MRB is left to deduce it by
      potentially inspecting other information in the request from the
      Application Server; for example, SDP content, or address of the
      requesting Application Server, or additional Request-URI
      parameters as per RFC 4240 [RFC4240].

   In-line Aware MRB Mode (IAMM):  Allows an MRB to act on behalf of
      clients requiring media services who are aware of an MRB and its
      operation.  In particular it allows the Application Server to
      explicitly convey matching characteristics to those provided by
      media servers, as does the Query MRB mode (as in Section 5.2).

   In either of the previously described roles, signalling as specified

   by the Media Control Channel Framework ([RFC6230]) would be involved,
   and the MRB would deduce that the selected Media Server resources are
   no longer needed when the Application Server or Media Server
   terminates the corresponding SIP dialog.  The two modes are discussed
   in more detail in Section 5.3.

5.  MRB Interface Definitions

   The intention of this specification is to provide a tool-kit for a
   variety of deployment architectures where media resource brokering
   can take place.  Two main interfaces are required to support the
   differing requirements.  The two interfaces are described in the
   remainder of this section and have been named the 'Media Server
   Resource Publish' and 'Media Server Resource Consumer' interfaces.

   It is beyond the scope of this document to define exactly how to
   construct an MRB using the interfaces described.  It is, however,
   important that the two interfaces are complimentary so that
   development of appropriate MRB functionality is supported.

5.1.  Media Server Resource Publish Interface

   The Media Server Resource Publish interface is responsible for
   providing an MRB with appropriate Media Server resource information.
   As such, this interface is assumed to provide both general and
   specific details related to Media Server resources.  This information
   needs to be conveyed using an industry standard mechanism to provide
   increased levels of adoption and interoperability.  A Control Package
   for the Media Control Channel Framework will be specified to fulfil
   this interface requirement.  It provides an establishment and
   monitoring mechanism to enable a Media Server to report appropriate
   statistics to an MRB.  The Publish interface is used with both Query
   and In-line modes of MRB operation.

   As already discussed in the Section 1, the MRB view of Media Server
   resource availability will in reality be approximate - i.e., partial
   and imperfect.  The MRB Publish interface does not provide an
   exhaustive view of current Media Server resource consumption, the
   Media Server may in some cases provide a best-effort computed view of
   resource consumption parameters conveyed in the Publish interface
   (e.g., DSP's with a fixed number of streams versus GPU's with CPU
   availability).  Media Resource information may only be reported
   periodically over the Publish interface to an MRB.

   It is also worth noting that, while the scope of the MRB is in
   providing interested Application Servers with the available
   resources, the MRB also allows for the retrieval of information about
   consumed resources.  While this is of course a relevant piece of
   information (e.g., for monitoring purposes), such functionality
   inevitably raises security considerations, and implementations should
   take this into account.  See Section 12 for more details.

   The MRB Publish interface uses the Media Control Channel Framework
   ([RFC6230]) as the basis for interaction between a Media Server and

   an MRB.  The Media Control Channel Framework uses an extension
   mechanism to allow specific usages which are known as control
   packages.  Section 5.1.1 defines the control package that MUST be
   implemented by any Media Server wanting to interact with an MRB
   entity.

5.1.1.  Control Package Definition

   This section fulfils the mandatory requirement for information that
   must be specified during the definition of a Control Framework
   Package, as detailed in Section 8 of [RFC6230].

5.1.1.1.  Control Package Name

   The Media Channel Control Framework requires a Control Package
   definition to specify and register a unique name and version.

   The name and version of this Control Package is "mrb-publish/1.0".

5.1.1.2.  Framework Message Usage

   The MRB publish interface allows a media server to convey available
   capabilities and resources to an MRB entity.

   This package defines XML elements in Section 5.1.2 and provides an
   XML Schema in Section 10.

   The XML elements in this package are split into requests, responses
   and event notifications.  Requests are carried in CONTROL message
   bodies; <mrbrequest> element is defined as a package request.  This
   request can be used for creating new subscriptions and updating/
   removing existing subscriptions.  Event notifications are also
   carried in CONTROL message bodies; the <mrbnotification> element is
   defined for package event notifications.  Responses are carried
   either in REPORT message or Control Framework 200 response bodies;
   the <mrbresponse> element is defined as a package level response.

   Note that package responses are different from framework response
   codes.  Framework error response codes (see Section 7 of [RFC6230])
   are used when the request or event notification is invalid; for
   example, a request has invalid XML (400), or is not understood (500).
   Package level responses are carried in framework 200 response or
   REPORT message bodies.  This package's response codes are defined in
   Section 5.1.4.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


5.1.1.3.  Common XML Support

   The Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230] requires a Control
   Package definition to specify if the attributes for media dialog or
   conference references are required.

   The Publish interface defined in Section 10 does import and make use
   of the common XML schema defined in the Media Control Channel
   Framework.

   The Consumer interface defined in Section 11 does import and make use
   of the common XML schema defined in the Media Control Channel
   Framework.

5.1.1.4.  CONTROL Message Body

   A valid CONTROL body message MUST conform to the schema defined in
   Section 10 and described in Section 5.1.2.  XML messages appearing in
   CONTROL messages MUST contain either a <mrbrequest> or
   <mrbnotification> element.

5.1.1.5.  REPORT Message Body

   A valid REPORT body MUST conform to the schema defined in Section 10
   and described in Section 5.1.2.  XML messages appearing in REPORT
   messages MUST contain a <mrbresponse> element.

5.1.1.6.  Audit

   The 'mrb-publish/1.0' Media Control Channel Framework package does
   not require any additional auditing capability.

5.1.2.  Element Definitions

   This section defines the XML elements for the Publish interface Media
   Control Channel package defined in Section 5.1.  The formal XML
   schema definition for the Publish interface can be found in
   Section 10.

   The root element is <mrbpublish>.  All other XML elements (requests,
   responses, notifications) are contained within it.  The MRB Publish
   interface request element is detailed in Section 5.1.3.  The MRB
   Publish interface notification element is detailed in Section 5.1.5.
   MRB Publish interface response element is contained in Section 5.1.4.

   The <mrbpublish> element has zero or more of the following
   attributes:

   version:  a token specifying the mrb-publish package version.  The
      value is fixed as '1.0' for this version of the package.  The
      attribute MUST be present.

   The <mrbpublish> element has the following child elements, only one
   of which is allowed to occur in a request.

      <mrbrequest> for sending an MRB request.  See Section 5.1.3.

      <mrbresponse> for sending an MRB response.  See Section 5.1.4.

      <mrbnotification> for sending an MRB notification.  See
      Section 5.1.5.

5.1.3.  <mrbrequest>

   This section defines the <mrbrequest> element used to initiate
   requests from an MRB to a Media Server.  The element describes
   information relevant for the interrogation of a media server.

   The <mrbrequest> element has no defined attributes.

   The <mrbrequest> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

      <subscription> for initiating a subscription to a Media Server
      from an MRB.  See Section 5.1.3.1.

5.1.3.1.  <subscription>

   The <subscription> element is included in a request from an MRB to a
   Media Server to provide the details relating to the configuration of
   updates.  This element can be used either to request a new
   subscription or to update an existing one (e.g., to change the
   frequency of the updates), and to remove ongoing subscriptions as
   well (e.g., to stop an indefinite update).  The MRB will inform the
   Media Server how long it wishes to receive updates for and the
   frequency that updates should be sent.  Updates related to the
   subscription are sent using the <mrbnotification> element.

   The <subscription> element has the following attributes:

   id:  indicates a unique token representing the subscription session
      between the MRB and the Media Server.  The attribute MUST be
      present.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   seqnumber:  indicates a sequence number to be used in conjunction
      with the subscription session id to identify a specific
      subscription command.  The first subscription MUST have 1 as
      'seqnumber', and following subscriptions MUST increment by 1 the
      previous 'seqnumber' value.  The attribute MUST be present.

   action:  provides the operation that should be carried out on the
      subscription:

      *  The value of 'create' instructs the Media Server to attempt to
         set-up a new subscription.

      *  The value of 'update' instructs the Media Server to attempt to
         update an existing subscription.

      *  The value of 'remove' instructs the Media Server to attempt to
         remove an existing subscription and consequently stop any
         ongoing related notification.

      The attribute MUST be present.

   The <subscription> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <expires>:   Provides the amount of time in seconds that a
      subscription should be installed for notifications at the Media
      Server.  Once the amount of time has passed, the subscription
      expires and the MRB has to subscribe again in case it is still
      interested in receiving notifications from the Media Server.  The
      element MAY be present.

   <minfrequency>:   Provides the minimum frequency in seconds that the
      MRB wishes to receive notifications from the Media Server.  The
      element MAY be present.

   <maxfrequency>:   Provides the maximum frequency in seconds that the
      MRB wishes to receive notifications from the Media Server.  The
      element MAY be present.

   Please note that these three optional pieces of information provided
   by the MRB only act as a suggestion: the Media Server MAY change the
   proposed values if it considers the suggestions unacceptable (e.g.,

5.1.4.  <mrbresponse>

   Responses to requests are indicated by a <mrbresponse> element.

   The <mrbresponse> element has the following attributes:

   status:  numeric code indicating the response status.  The attribute
      MUST be present.

   reason:  string specifying a reason for the response status.  The
      attribute MAY be present.

   The <mrbresponse> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

      <subscription> for providing details related to a subscription a
      Media Server requested (see below in this section).

   The following status codes are defined for 'status':

   +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+

                    Table 1: <mrbresponse> status codes

   In case a new subscription request made by an MRB (action='create')
   has been accepted, the Media Server MUST reply with a <mrbresponse>
   with status code 200.  The same rule applies whenever a request to
   update (action='update') or remove (action='remove') an existing
   transaction can be fulfilled by the Media Server.

   A subscription request, nevertheless, may fail for several reasons.
   In such a case, the status codes defined in Table 1 must be used
   instead.  Specifically, if the Media Server fails to handle a request
   due to a syntax error in the request itself (e.g., incorrect XML,
   violation of the schema constraints or invalid values in any of the
   attributes/elements) the Media Server MUST reply with a <mrbresponse>
   with status code 400.  If a syntactically correct request fails
   because the request also includes any attribute/element the Media
   Server doesn't understand, the Media Server MUST reply with a
   <mrbresponse> with status code 420.  If a syntactically correct
   request fails because the MRB wants to create a new subscription, but
   the provided unique 'id' for the subscription already exists, the
   Media Server MUST reply with a <mrbresponse> with status code 405.
   If a syntactically correct request fails because the MRB wants to
   update/remove a subscription that doesn't exist, the Media Server
   MUST reply with a <mrbresponse> with status code 404.  If the Media
   Server is unable to accept a request for any other reason (e.g., the
   MRB has no more resources to fulfil the request), the Media Server
   MUST reply with a <mrbresponse> with status code 401/402/403,
   depending on the action the MRB provided in its request:

   o  action='create' --> 401;

   o  action='update' --> 402;

   o  action='remove' --> 403;

   A response to a subscription request that has a status of "200"
   indicates that the request is successful.  The response MAY also
   contain a <subscription> child that describes the subscription.  The
   <subscription> child MAY contain 'expires', 'minfrequency' and
   'maxfrequency' values even if they were not contained in the request.

   The Media Server MAY change the suggested 'expires', 'minfrequency'
   and 'maxfrequency' values provided by the MRB in its <mrbrequest>, if
   it considers them unacceptable (e.g., the requested frequency range
   is too high).  In such a case, the response MUST contain a
   <subscription> element describing the subscription as the Media
   Server accepted it, and the Media Server MUST include in the
   <subscription> element all of those values that it modified relative
   to the request, to inform the MRB about the change.

5.1.5.  <mrbnotification>

   The <mrbnotification> element is included in a request from a Media
   Server to an MRB to provide the details relating current status.  The
   Media Server will inform the MRB of its current status as defined by
   the information in the <subscription> element.  Updates are sent

   using the <mrbnotification> element.

   The <mrbnotification> element has the following attributes:

   id:  indicates a unique token representing the session between the
      MRB and the Media Server and is the same as the one appearing in
      the <subscription> element.  The attribute MUST be present.

   seqnumber:  indicates a sequence number to be used in conjunction
      with the subscription session id to identify a specific
      notification update.  The first notification MUST have 1 as
      'seqnumber', and following notifications MUST increment by 1 the
      previous 'seqnumber' value.  The attribute MUST be present.

   It's important to point out that the 'seqnumber' that appears in a
   <mrbnotification> is not related to the 'seqnumber' appearing in a
   <mrbsubscription>.  In fact, the latter is associated with
   subscriptions and would increase at every command issued by the MRB,
   while the former is associated with the asynchronous notifications
   the Media Server would trigger according to the subscription, and as
   such would increase at every notification message to enable the MRB
   keep track of them.

   The following subsections provide details of the child elements that
   are the content of the <mrbnotification> element.

5.1.5.1.  <media-server-id>

   The <media-server-id> element provides a unique system wide
   identifier for a Media Server instance.  The element MUST be present,
   and MUST chosen such that it is extremely unlikely that two different
   media servers would present the same id to a given MRB.

5.1.5.2.  <supported-packages>

   The <supported-packages> element provides the list of Media Control
   Channel Packages supported by the media server.  The element MAY be
   present.

   The <supported-packages> element has no attributes.

      Tones package) or generic (e.g., cg/* to report all the tones from
      the Call Progress Tones package) using wild-cards.  The <h248-
      code> element has a single attribute, 'package'.  The attribute
      'package' provides the name of the Media Control Channel Framework
      package, compliant with the Section 13.1.1 of [RFC6230], in which
      the specified codes are supported.

5.1.5.15.  <file-transfer-modes>

   The <file-transfer-modes> element allows the Media Server to specify
   which scheme names are supported for transferring files to a Media
   Server for each Media Control Channel Framework package type.  For
   example, whether the Media Server supports fetching resources via
   HTTP, HTTPS, NFS etc protocols.  The element MAY be present.

   The <file-transfer-modes> element has no attributes.

   The <file-transfer-modes> element has zero or more of the following
   child element:






Boulton, et al.          Expires August 8, 2013                [Page 28]


Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   <file-transfer-mode>:   has two attributes, 'name' and 'package'.
      The 'name' attribute provides the scheme name of the protocol that
      can be used for file transfer (e.g., "HTTP", "HTTPS", NFS etc.):
      the value of the attribute is case insensitive.  The 'package'
      attribute provides the name of the Media Control Channel Framework
      package, compliant with the specification in the related IANA
      registry (e.g., "msc-ivr/1.0"), for which the scheme name applies.

   It is important to point out that this element provides no
   information about whether or not the Media Server supports any
   flavour of live streaming: for instance, a value of "HTTP" for the
   IVR Package would only mean the 'http' scheme makes sense to the
   Media Server within the context of that package.  Whether or not the
   Media Server can make use of HTTP to only fetch resources, or also to
   attach an HTTP live stream to a call, is to be considered
   implementation specific to the Media Server and irrelevant to the
   Application Server and/or MRB.  Besides, the Media Server supporting
   a scheme does not imply it also supports the related secure versions:
   for instance, if the Media Server supports both "HTTP" and "HTTPS",
   both the schemes will appear in the element.  A lack of the "HTTPS"
   value would need to be interpreted as a lack of support for the
   'https' scheme.

5.1.5.16.  <asr-tts-support>

   The <asr-tts-support> element provides information about the support
   for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS)
   functionality in a media server.  The functionality are reported by
   referring to the supported languages (using ISO-639-1 [ISO.639.1988]
   codes) for what regards both ASR and TTS.  The element MAY be
   present.

   The <asr-tts-support> element has no attributes.

   The <asr-tts-support> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <asr-support>:   Describes the available languages for ASR.  The
      <asr-support> element has no attributes.  The <asr-support> has
      one child element.  The child element, <language>, reports the
      Media Server supports ASR for a specific language.  The <language>
      element has a single attribute, 'xml:lang'.  The attribute 'xml:
      lang' contains the ISO-639-1 [ISO.639.1988] code of the supported
      language.

   <tts-support>:   Describes the available languages for TTS.  The
      <tts-support> element has no attributes.  The <tts-support> has
      one child element.  The child element, <language>, reports the
      Media Server supports tts for a specific language.  The <language>
      element has a single attribute, 'xml:lang'.  The attribute 'xml:
      lang' contains the ISO-639-1 [ISO.639.1988] code of the supported
      language.

5.1.5.17.  <vxml-support>

   The <vxml-support> element specifies if the Media Server supports
   VoiceXML and if it does which protocols the support is exposed
   through (e.g., via the control framework, RFC4240 [RFC4240], or
   RFC5552 [RFC5552]).  The element MAY be present.

   The <vxml-support> element has no attributes.

   The <vxml-support> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <vxml-mode>:   has two attributes, 'package' and 'support'.  The
      'package' attribute provides the name of the Media Control Channel
      Framework package, compliant with the Section 13.1.1 of [RFC6230],
      for which the VXML support applies.  The 'support' attribute
      provides the type of VXML support provided by the Media Server
      (e.g., RFC5552 [RFC5552], RFC4240 [RFC4240] or IVR Package
      [RFC6231]), and valid values are case insensitive RFC references
      (e.g., "rfc6231" to specify the Media Server supports VoiceXML as
      provided by the IVR Package [RFC6231]).

   The presence of at least one <vxml-mode> child element would indicate
   that the Media Server does support VXML as specified by the child
   element itself.  An empty <vxml> element would otherwise indicate the
   Media Server does not support VXML at all.

5.1.5.18.  <media-server-location>

   The <media-server-location> element provides information about the
   civic location of a media server.  Its description makes use of the
   Civic Address Schema standardized in RFC 5139 [RFC5139].  The element
   MAY be present.  More precisely, this section is entirely optional,
   and it's implementation specific to fill it with just the details
   each implementor deems necessary for any optimization that may be
   needed.

   The <media-server-location> element has no attributes.

   The <media-server-location> element has zero or more of the following

   child elements:

   <civicAddress>:   Describes the civic address location of the media
      server, whose representation refers to the Section 4 of RFC 5139
      [RFC5139].

5.1.5.19.  <label>

   The <label> element allows a Media Server to declare a piece of
   information that will be understood by the MRB.  For example, the
   Media Server can declare if it's a blue or green one.  It's a string
   to allow arbitrary values to be returned to allow arbitrary
   classification.  The element MAY be present.

   The <label> element has no attributes.

   The <label> element has no child elements.

5.1.5.20.  <media-server-address>

   The <media-server-address> element allows a Media Server to provide a
   direct SIP URI where it can be reached (e.g., the URI Application
   Server would call to in order to set-up a Control Channel and relay
   SIP media dialogs).  The element MAY be present.

   The <media-server-address> element has a single attribute.

   The <media-server-address> element has no child elements.

5.1.5.21.  <encryption>

   The <encryption> element allows a Media Server to declare support for
   encrypting RTP media streams using RFC 3711 [RFC3711].  The element
   MAY be present.  If the element is present, then the Media Server
   supports DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763].

   The <encryption> element has no attributes.

   The <encryption> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <keying-mechanism>:   has no attributes.  The element provides the
      name of a keying mechanism the Media Server supports for
      encrypting RTP media streams.

   The presence of at least one <keying-mechanism> child element would
   indicate that the Media Server does support RTP media stream
   encryption as specified by the child element itself.  An empty

   <encryption> element would otherwise indicate the Media Server does
   not support RTP encryption at all.

5.2.  Media Service Resource Consumer Interface

   The Media Server Consumer interface provides the ability for clients
   of an MRB, such as Application Servers, to request an appropriate
   Media Server to satisfy specific criteria.  The interface allows a
   client to pass detailed meta-information to the MRB to help select an
   appropriate Media Server.  The MRB is then able to make an informed
   decision and provide the client with an appropriate media server
   resource.  The MRB Consumer interface includes both 1) In-Line Aware
   MRB Mode (IAMM) that uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and
   2) Query mode that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
   [RFC2616].  The MRB Consumer interface does not include In-Line
   Unaware Mode (IUMM) which is further explained in Section 5.3.  The
   following subsections provide guidance on using the Consumer
   interface, which is represented by the 'application/mrb-consumer+xml
   media type in Section 11, with HTTP and SIP.

5.2.1.  Query Mode / HTTP Consumer Interface Usage

   An appropriate interface for such a 'query' style interface is in
   fact a HTTP usage.  Using HTTP and XML combined reduces complexity
   and encourages use of common tools that are widely available in the
   industry today.  The following information explains the primary
   operations required to request and then receive information from an
   MRB, by making use of HTTP [RFC2616] and HTTPS [RFC2818] as transport
   for a query for media resource and the appropriate response.

   The media resource query, as defined by the <mediaResourceRequest>
   element from Section 11, MUST be carried in the body of an HTTP/HTTPS
   POST request.  The media type contained in the HTTP/HTTPS request/
   response MUST be 'application/mrb-consumer+xml'.  This value MUST be
   reflected in the appropriate HTTP headers like 'Content-Type' and
   'Accept'.  The body of the HTTP/HTTPS POST request MUST only contain
   a <mrbconsumer> root element with only one child
   <mediaResourceRequest> element as defined in Section 11.

   The media resource response to a query, as defined by the
   <mediaResourceResponse> element from Section 11, MUST be carried in
   the body of an HTTP/HTTPS 200 response to the original HTTP/HTTPS
   POST request.  The media type contained in the HTTP/HTTPS request/
   response MUST be 'application/mrb-consumer+xml'.  This value MUST be
   reflected in the appropriate HTTP headers like 'Content-Type' and
   'Accept'.  The body of the HTTP/HTTPS 200 response MUST only contain
   a <mrbconsumer> root element with only one child
   <mediaResourceResponse> element as defined in Section 11.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   When an Application Server wants to release previously awarded media
   resources granted through a prior request/response exchange with MRB,
   it will send a new request with an <action> element with value
   'remove' as described in Section 5.2.3 about the use of the Consumer
   interface lease mechanism.

5.2.2.  In-Line Aware Mode / SIP Consumer Interface Usage

   This document provides a complete tool-kit for MRB deployment which
   includes the ability to interact with an MRB using SIP for the
   Consumer interface.  The following information explains the primary
   operations required to request and then receive information from an
   MRB, by making use of SIP [RFC3261] as transport for a request for
   media resources and the appropriate response when used with IAMM of
   operation (as discussed in Section 5.2.2.1).

   Use of IAMM, besides having the MRB select appropriate media
   resources on behalf of a client application, includes setting up
   either a Control Framework control channel between an application
   server and one of the media servers (Section 5.2.2.1) or a media
   dialog session between an application server and one of the media
   servers (Section 5.2.2.2).  Note that in either case the SIP URIs of
   the selected media servers are made known to the requesting
   application server in the SIP 200 OK response by means of one or more
   <media-server-address> child elements in the <response-session-info>
   element (Section 5.2.6).

5.2.2.1.  IAMM and Setting up a Control Framework Control Channel

   The media resource request information, as defined by the
   <mediaResourceRequest> element from Section 11, is carried in a SIP
   INVITE request.  The INVITE request will be constructed as it would
   have been to connect to a Media Server, as defined by the Media
   Control Channel Framework [RFC6230].  It should be noted that this
   specification does not exclude the use of an offer-less INVITE as
   defined in RFC3261 [RFC3261].  Using offer-less INVITE messages to an
   MRB can potentially cause confusion when applying resource selection
   algorithms and an MRB, like any other SIP device, can choose to
   reject with a 4xx response.  For an offer-less INVITE to be treated
   appropriately, additional contextual information would need to be
   provided with the request which is out of the scope for this
   document.  The following additional steps MUST be followed when using
   the Consumer interface:

   o  The Consumer Client will Include a payload in the SIP INVITE
      request of type 'multipart/mixed' [RFC2046].  One of the parts to
      be included in the 'multipart/mixed' payload MUST be the
      'application/sdp' format which is constructed as specified in the



Boulton, et al.          Expires August 8, 2013                [Page 33]


Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


      Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230].

   o  Another part of the 'multipart/mixed' payload MUST be of type
      'application/mrb-consumer+xml', as specified in this document and
      defined in Section 11.  The body part MUST be an XML document
      without prolog and whose root element is <mediaResourceRequest>.

   o  The INVITE request will then be dispatched to the MRB, as defined
      by [RFC6230].

   On receiving a SIP INVITE request containing the multipart/mixed
   payload as specified previously, the MRB will complete a number of
   steps to fulfil the request.  It will:

   o  Extract the multipart MIME payload from the SIP INVITE request.
      It will then use the contextual information provided by the client
      in the 'application/mrb-consumer+xml' part to determine which
      media server (or media servers, if more than one is deemed to be
      needed) should be selected to service the request.

   o  Extract the 'application/sdp' part from the payload and use it as
      the body of a new SIP INVITE request for connecting the client to
      one of the selected media servers, as defined in the Media Channel
      Control Framework [RFC6230].  The policy the MRB follows to pick a
      specific Media Server out of the Media Servers it selects is
      implementation specific, and out of scope to this document.  It is
      important to configure the SIP elements between the MRB and the
      Media Server in such a way that that the INVITE will not fork.  In
      case of a failure in reaching the chosen Media Server, the MRB
      SHOULD proceed to the next one, if available.

   If none of the available Media Server can be reached, the MRB MUST
   reply with a SIP 503 error message including a Retry-After header
   with a non-zero value.  The Application Server MUST NOT attempt to
   setup a new session before the time the MRB asked it to wait has
   passed.

   In case at least one Media Server is reachable, the MRB acts as a
   Back-to-Back UA (B2BUA) that extracts the 'application/
   mrb-consumer+xml' information from the SIP INVITE request and then
   sends a corresponding SIP INVITE request to the Media Server it has
   selected, to negotiate a control channel as defined in the Media
   Channel Control Framework [RFC6230].

   In case of a failure in negotiating the control channel with the
   Media Server, the MRB SHOULD proceed to the next one, if available,
   as explained above.  If none of the available Media Servers can be
   reached, or the negotiation of the control channel with all of them



Boulton, et al.          Expires August 8, 2013                [Page 34]

   fail, the MRB MUST reply with a SIP 503 error message including a
   Retry-After header with a non-zero value.  The Application Server
   MUST NOT attempt to setup a new session before the time the MRB asked
   it to wait has expired.

   Once the MRB receives the SIP response from the selected media
   resource (i.e., media server), it will in turn respond to the
   requesting client (i.e., Application Server).

   The media resource response generated by an MRB to a request, as
   defined by the <mediaResourceResponse> element from Section 11, MUST
   be carried in the payload of a SIP 200 OK response to the original
   SIP INVITE request.  The SIP 200 OK response will be constructed as
   it would have been to connect from a media server, as defined by the
   Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230].  The following additional
   steps MUST be followed when using the Consumer interface:

   o  Include a payload in the SIP 200 response of type 'multipart/
      mixed' as per RFC 2046 [RFC2046].  One of the parts to be included
      in the 'multipart/mixed' payload MUST be the 'application/sdp'
      format which is constructed as specified in the Media Control
      Channel Framework [RFC6230] and based on the incoming response
      from the selected Media Resource.

   o  Another part of the 'multipart/mixed' payload MUST be of type
      'application/mrb-consumer+xml', as specified in this document and
      defined in Section 11.  Only the <mediaResourceResponse> and its
      child elements can be included in the payload.

   o  The SIP 200 response will then be dispatched from the MRB.

   o  A SIP ACK to the 200 response will then be sent back to the MRB.

   Considering that the use of SIP as a transport for Consumer
   transactions may result in failure, the IAMM relies on a successful
   INVITE transaction to address the previously discussed sequence
   (using 'seq' XML element) increment mechanism.  This means that, if
   the INVITE is unsuccessful for any reason, the Application Server
   MUST use the same 'seq' value as previously used for the next
   Consumer request it may want to send to the MRB for the same session.

   An MRB implementation may be programmed to conclude that the
   requested resources are no longer needed when it receives a SIP BYE
   from the Application Server or Media Server that concludes the SIP
   dialog that initiated the request, or when the lease interval
   expires.

5.2.2.2.  IAMM and Setting up a Media Dialog

   This scenario is identical to the description in the previous section
   for setting up a Control Framework control channel with the exception
   that the application/sdp payload conveys content appropriate for
   setting up the media dialog to the media resource, as per RFC 3261
   [RFC3261], instead of application/sdp payload for setting up a
   control channel.

5.2.3.  Consumer Interface Lease Mechanism

   The Consumer interface defined in Section 5.2 and Section 11 allows a
   client to request an appropriate media resource based on information
   included in the request (either a HTTP POST or SIP INVITE message).
   In the case of success, the response that is returned to the client
   MUST contain a <response-session-info> element in either the SIP 200
   or HTTP 200 response.  The success response contains the description
   of certain resources that have been reserved to a specific Consumer
   client in a (new or revised) "resource session", which is identified
   in the <response-session-info>.  The resource session is a "lease",
   in that the reservation is scheduled to expire at a particular time
   in the future, releasing the resources to be assigned for other uses.
   The lease may be extended or terminated earlier by future Consumer
   client requests that identify and reference a specific resource
   session.

   Before delving into the details of such lease mechanism, it is worth
   clarifying its role within the context of the Consumer interface.  As
   explained in Section 5.1, the knowledge the MRB has of the resources
   of all the Media Servers it is provisioned to manage is non real-
   time.  How an MRB actually manages such resources is implementation
   specific - for example an implementation may choose to have the MRB
   keeping track and state of the allocated resources, or simply rely on
   the Media Servers themselves to provide the information using the
   Publish interface.  Further information may be also be inferred by
   the signalling, in the case where an MRB is in the path of media
   dialogs.

   The <mediaResourceResponse> element returned from the MRB contains a
   <response-session-info> element if the request is successful.  The
   <response-session-info> element has zero or more of the following
   child elements which provide the appropriate resource session
   information:

   o  <session-id> is a unique identifier that enables a Consumer client
      and MRB to correlate future media resource requests related to an
      initial media resource request.  The <session-id> MUST be included
      in all future related requests (see <session-id> use later in this



Boulton, et al.          Expires August 8, 2013                [Page 36]


Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


      section when constructing a subsequent request).

   o  <seq> is a numeric value returned to the Consumer client.  On
      issuing any future requests related to the media resource session
      (as determined by the <session-id> element) the consumer client
      MUST increment the value returned in the <seq> element and include
      in the request (see <seq> use later in this section when
      constructing a subsequent request).  Its value is a non-negative
      integer, which MUST be limited within the 0..2^31-1 range.

   o  <expires> provides a value which provides the number of seconds
      the request for media resources is deemed alive.  The Consumer
      client should issue a refresh of the request, as discussed later
      in this section, if the expires timer is due to fire and the media
      resources are still required.

   o  <media-server-address> provides information representing an
      assigned Media Server.  More instances of this element may appear,
      should the MRB assign more Media Servers to a Consumer request.

   The <mediaResourceRequest> element is used in subsequent Consumer
   interface requests if the client wishes to manipulate the session.
   The Consumer client MUST include the <session-info> element which
   enables the receiving MRB to determine an existing media resource
   allocation session.  The <session-info> element has the following
   child elements which provide the appropriate resource session
   information to the MRB:

   o  <session-id> is a unique identifier that allows a Consumer client
      to indicate the appropriate existing media resource session to be
      manipulated by the MRB for this request.  The value was provided
      by the MRB in the initial request for media resources, as
      discussed earlier in this section (<session-id> element included
      as part of the <session-info> element in the initial
      <mediaResourceResponse>).

   o  <seq> is a numeric value returned to Consumer client in the
      initial request for media resources, as discussed earlier in this
      section (<seq> element included as part of the <session-info>
      element in the initial <mediaResourceResponse>).  On issuing any
      future requests related to the specific media resource session (as
      determined by the <session-id> element) the consumer client MUST
      increment the value returned in the <seq> element from the initial
      response (contained in the <mediaResourceResponse>) for every new
      request.  The value of the <seq> element in requests acts as a
      counter to and in conjunction with the unique <session-id> allows
      for unique identification of a request.  As anticipated before,
      the value of a <seq> value is limited to the 0..2^31-1 range: in

      the unlikely case the counter increases to reach the highest
      allowed value, the <seq> value MUST be set to 0.  The first
      numeric value for the <seq> element is not meant to be '1', but
      SHOULD be generated randomly by the MRB: this is to reduce the
      chances a malicious MRB disrupts the session created by this MRB,
      as explained in Section 12.

   o  <action> element provides the operation to be carried out by the
      MRB on receiving the request:

      *  The value of 'update' is a request by the Consumer client to
         update the existing session at the MRB with alternate media
         resource requirements.  If the requested resource information
         is identical to the existing MRB session, the MRB will attempt
         a session refresh.  If the information has changed, the MRB
         will attempt to update the existing session with the new
         information.  If the operation is successful, the 200 status
         code in the response is returned in the status attribute of the
         <mediaResourceResponseType> element.  If the operation is not
         successful, a 409 status code in the response is returned in
         the status attribute of the <mediaResourceResponseType>
         element.

      *  The value of 'remove' is a request by the Consumer client to
         remove the session at the MRB.  This provides a mechanism for
         Consumer clients to release unwanted resources before they
         expire.  If the operation is successful, a 200 status code in
         the response is returned in the status attribute of the
         <mediaResourceResponseType> element.  If the operation is not
         successful, a 410 status code in the response is returned in
         the status attribute of the <mediaResourceResponseType>
         element.

   Omitting the 'action' attribute means requesting a new set of
   resources.

   When used with HTTP the <session-info> element MUST be included in a
   HTTP POST message (as defined in [RFC2616]).  When used with SIP,
   instead, the <session-info> element MUST be included in either a SIP
   INVITE, or a SIP re-INVITE (as defined in [RFC3261]) or a SIP UPDATE
   (as defined in[RFC3311]) request: in fact, any SIP dialog, be it a
   new or an existing one, can be exploited to carry leasing
   information, and as such new SIP INVITE messages can update other
   leases as well as requesting a new one.

   With IAMM, the application server or media server will eventually
   send a SIP BYE to end the SIP session, whether it was for a control
   channel or a media dialog.  That BYE contains no Consumer interface

   <seq>:   is used in association with the <session-id> element in a
      subsequent request to update an existing media resource session on
      an MRB.  The <seq> number is incremented from its original value
      returned in response to the initial request for media resources.
      Its value is a non-negative integer, which MUST be limited within
      the 0..2^31-1 range.  In the unlikely case the counter increases
      to reach the highest allowed value, the <seq> value MUST be set to
      0.  More information about its use is provided in Section 5.2.3.

   <action>:   provides the operation that should be carried out on an
      existing media resource session on an MRB:

      *  The value of 'update' instructs the MRB to attempt to update
         the existing media resource session with the information
         contained in the <ivrInfo> and <mixerInfo> elements.

      and 'package.  The 'name' attribute provides the type of DTMF
      being used, and is a case insensitive string containing either
      'RFC4733' [RFC4733] or 'Media' (passing tones as signals through
      the audio stream).  The 'package' attribute provides the name of
      the Media Control Channel Framework package, compliant with the
      Section 13.1.1 of [RFC6230], for which the DTMF type applies.

5.2.5.1.3.4.  <tones>

   The <tones> element provides requested tones a media server must
   support for a mix.  In particular, the request refers to both country
   codes support (ISO 3166-1 [ISO.3166-1]) and requested functionality
   (ITU-T Recommendation Q.1950 [ITU-T.Q.1950]).  The element MAY be

   present.

   The <tones> element has no attributes.

   The <tones> element has zero or more of the following child elements:

   <country-codes>:   Describes the requested country codes in relation
      to tones.  The <country-codes> element has no attributes.  The
      <country-codes> has a single child element.  The child element,
      <country-code>, requests a specific country code, compliant with
      the ISO 3166-1 [ISO.3166-1] specification.  The <country-code>
      element has a single attribute, 'package'.  The attribute
      'package' provides the name of the Media Control Channel Framework
      package, compliant with the specification in the related IANA
      registry (e.g., "msc-ivr/1.0"), in which the tones from the
      specified country code are requested.

   <h248-codes>:   Describes the requested H.248 codes with respect to
      tones.  The <h248-codes> element has no attributes.  The <h248-
      codes> has a single child element.  The child element, <h248-
      code>, requests a specific H.248 code, compliant with the ITU-T
      Recommendation Q.1950 [ITU-T.Q.1950] specification.  The codes can
      be either specific (e.g., cg/dt to only report the Dial Tone from
      the Call Progress Tones package) or generic (e.g., cg/* to report
      all the tones from the Call Progress Tones package) using wild-
      cards.  The <h248-code> element has a single attribute, 'package'.
      The attribute 'package' provides the name of the Media Control
      Channel Framework package, compliant with the Section 13.1.1 of
      [RFC6230], in which the specified codes are requested.

5.2.5.1.3.5.  <mixing-modes>

   The <mixing-modes> element requests information relating to support
   for audio and video mixing; more specifically a list of supported
   algorithms to mix audio and a list of supported video presentation
   layouts.  The element MAY be present.

   The <mixing-modes> element has no attributes.

   The <mixing-modes> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <audio-mixing-modes>:   Describes the requested algorithms for audio
      mixing.  The <audio-mixing-modes> element has no attributes.  The
      <audio-mixing-modes> element has one child element.  The child
      element, <audio-mixing-mode>, contains a requested mixing
      algorithm.  Valid values for the <audio-mixing-mode> element are
      are algorithm names, e.g., 'nbest' and 'controller' as defined in

      [RFC6505].  The element has a single attribute, 'package'.  The
      attribute 'package' provides the name of the Media Control Channel
      Framework package, compliant with the Section 13.1.1 of [RFC6230],
      for which the algorithm support is requested.

   <video-mixing-modes>:   Describes the requested video presentation
      layouts for video mixing.  The <video-mixing-modes> element has
      two attributes, 'vas' and 'activespeakermix'.  The 'vas' attribute
      is of type boolean with a value of 'true' indicating that the
      Consumer Client requires automatic Voice Activated Switching.  The
      'activespeakermix' attribute is of type boolean with a value of
      'true' indicating that the Consumer Client requires an additional
      video stream for the loudest speaker participant without its
      contribution.  The <video-mixing-modes> element has one child
      element.  The child element, <video-mixing-mode>, contains the
      name of a specific video presentation layout.  The name may refer
      to one of predefined video layouts defined in the XCON conference
      information data model, or to non-XCON layouts as well, as long as
      they are appropriately prefixed.  The <video-mixing-mode> element
      has a single attribute, 'package'.  The attribute 'package'
      provides the name of the Media Control Channel Framework package,
      compliant with the Section 13.1.1 of [RFC6230], for which the
      algorithm support is requested.

5.2.5.1.3.6.  <application-data>

   The <application-data> element provides an arbitrary string of
   characters as Mixer application level data.  This data is meant to
   only have meaning at the application level logic and as such is not
   otherwise restricted by this specification.  The set of allowed
   characters are the same as those in XML (viz., tab, carriage return,
   line feed, and the legal characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 [see
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ section 2.2]).  The element MAY be present.

   The <application-data> element has no attributes.

   The <application-data> element has no child elements.

5.2.5.1.3.7.  <location>

   The <location> element requests a civic location for a mixer media
   server.  The request makes use of the Civic Address Schema
   standardized in RFC 5139 [RFC5139].  The element MAY be present.
   More precisely, this section is entirely optional, and it's
   implementation specific to fill it with just the details each
   implementor deems necessary for any optimization that may be needed.

   The contents of a <location> element has no attributes.

   The contents of a <location> element has a single child element:

   <civicAddress>:   Describes the civic address location of the
      requested media server, whose representation refers to Section 4
      of RFC 5139 [RFC5139].

5.2.5.1.3.8.  <encryption>

   The <encryption> element allows a Consumer client to request support
   for encrypting mixed RTP media streams using RFC 3711 [RFC3711].  The
   element MAY be present.  If the element is present, then the Media
   Server supports DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763].

   The <encryption> element has no attributes.

   The <encryption> element has zero or more of the following child
   elements:

   <keying-mechanism>:   has no attributes.  The element provides the
      name of a keying mechanism the Consumer client requires for
      encrypting mixed RTP media streams.

   The presence of at least one <keying-mechanism> child element would
   indicate that the Consumer client does require mixed RTP media stream
   encryption as specified by the child element itself.  An empty
   <encryption> element would otherwise indicate the client does not
   require RTP encryption at all.

5.2.6.  Media Service Resource Response

   This section provides the element definitions for use in Consumer
   interface responses.  The responses are carried in the
   <mediaResourceResponse> element.

5.2.6.1.  <mediaResourceResponse> element

   The <mediaResourceResponse> element provides information for clients
   receiving response information from an external MRB entity.

   The <mediaResourceResponse> element has two mandatory attributes,
   'id' and 'status'.  The 'id' attribute must contain the same value
   the client provided in the 'id' attribute in the
   <mediaResourceRequest> the response is for.  The 'status' attribute
   indicates the status code of the operation.  The following status
   codes are defined for 'status':

                     Table 2: <response> status codes

   In case a new media resource request made by an client application
   has been accepted, the MRB MUST reply with a <mediaResourceResponse>
   with status code 200.  The same rule applies whenever a request to
   update (action='update') or remove (action='remove') an existing
   transaction can be fulfilled by the MRB.

   A media resource request, nevertheless, may fail for several reasons.
   In such a case, the status codes defined in Table 2 must be used
   instead.  Specifically, if the MRB fails to handle a request due to a
   syntax error in the request itself (e.g., incorrect XML, violation of
   the schema constraints or invalid values in any of the attributes/
   elements) the MRB MUST reply with a <mediaResourceResponse> with
   status code 400.  If a syntactically correct request fails because
   the request also includes any attribute/element the MRB doesn't
   understand, the MRB MUST reply with a <mediaResourceResponse> with
   status code 420.  If a syntactically correct request fails because it
   contains a wrong sequence number, that is, a 'seq' value not
   consistent with the increment the MRB expects according to
   Section 5.2.3, the MRB MUST reply with a <mediaResourceResponse> with
   status code 405.  If a syntactically correct request fails because
   the MRB couldn't find any Media Server able to fulfil the
   requirements presented by the Application Server in its request, the
   MRB MUST reply with a <mediaResourceResponse> with status code 408.
   If a syntactically correct request fails because the MRB couldn't
   update an existing request according to the new requirements
   presented by the Application Server in its request, the MRB MUST
   reply with a <mediaResourceResponse> with status code 409.  If a
   syntactically correct request fails because the MRB couldn't remove

   an existing request and release the related resources as requested by
   the Application Server, the MRB MUST reply with a
   <mediaResourceResponse> with status code 410.

   Further details on status codes 409 and 410 are included in
   Section 5.2.3 where the leasing mechanism, along with its related
   scenarios, are described in more detail.

   The <mediaResourceResponse> element has <response-session-info> as a
   child element.  This element is used to describe the response of a
   Consumer interface query and is covered in the following sub-section.

5.2.6.1.1.  <response-session-info> element

   The <response-session-info> element is included in Consumer
   responses.  This applies to responses to both requests for new
   resources and requests to update an existing media resource session.
   The ability to change and remove an existing media resource session
   is described in more detail in Section 5.2.3.  If the request was
   successful, the <mediaResourceResponse> MUST have one <response-
   session-info> child, which describes the media resource session
   addressed by the request.  If the request was not successful, the
   <mediaResourceResponse> MUST NOT have a <response-session-info>
   child.

   The contents of a <response-session-info> element has no attributes.

   The contents of a <response-session-info> element has zero or more of
   the following child elements:

   <session-id>:   is a unique identifier that explicitly references an
      existing media resource session on the MRB.  The identifier is
      included to update the existing session and is described in more
      detail in Section 5.2.3.

   <seq>:   is used in association with the <session-id> element in a
      subsequent request to update an existing media resource session on
      an MRB.  The <seq> number is incremented from its original value
      returned in response to the initial request for media resources.
      More information its use is provided in Section 5.2.3.

   <expires>:   includes the number of seconds that the media resources
      are reserved as part of this interaction.  If the lease is not
      refreshed before expiry, the MRB will re-claim the resources and
      they will no longer be guaranteed.  It is RECOMMENDED that a
      minimum value of 300 seconds be used for the value of the
      'expires' attribute.  It is also RECOMMENDED that a Consumer
      client refresh the lease at an interval that is not too close to

      the expiry time.  A value of 80% of the time-out period could be
      used.  For example, if the time-out period is 300 seconds, the
      Consumer Client would refresh the transaction at 240 seconds.
      More information on its use is provided in Section 5.2.3.

   <media-server-address>:   provides information to reach the Media
      Server handling the requested media resource.  One or more
      instances of these element may appear.  The <media-server-address>
      element has a single attribute named 'uri' which supplies a SIP
      URI that reaches the specified media server.  It also has three
      optional elements <connection-id>, <ivr-sessions>, and <mixers>.
      The <ivr-sessions> and <mixers> are defined in Section 5.2.5.1.2.1
      and Section 5.2.5.1.3.1 and have the same meaning but are applied
      to individual media server instances as a subset of the overall
      resources reported in the <connection-id> element.  If multiple
      Media Servers are assigned in an IAMM operation, exactly one
      <media-server-address> element, more specifically the media server
      that provided the media dialog or CFW response, will have a
      <connection-id> element.  Additional information relating to the
      use of the <connection-id> element for media dialogs is included
      in Section 6.

5.3.  In-Line Unaware MRB Interface

   An entity acting as an In-Line MRB can act in one of two roles for a
   request, as introduced in Section 4.2.  In-Line Unaware MRB Mode
   (IUMM) of operation and In-Line Aware MRB Mode (IAMM) of operation.
   This section further describes IUMM.

   It should be noted that the introduction of an MRB entity into the
   network, as specified in this document, requires interfaces to be
   implemented by those requesting Media Server resources (for example
   an Application Server).  This applies when using the Consumer
   interface as discussed in Section 5.2.1(Query mode) and
   Section 5.2.2(IAMM).  An MRB entity can also act in a client unaware
   mode when deployed into the network.  This allows any SIP compliant
   client entity, as defined by RFC 3261 [RFC3261] and its extensions,
   to send requests to an MRB which in turn will select an appropriate
   media server based on knowledge of media server resources it
   currently has available transparently to the client entity.  Using an
   MRB in this mode allows for easy migration of current applications
   and services that are unaware of the MRB concept and would simply
   require a configuration change resulting in the MRB being set as a
   SIP outbound proxy for clients requiring media services.

   With IUMM, the MRB may conclude that an assigned media resource is no
   longer needed when it receives a SIP BYE from the application server
   or media server that ends that SIP dialog that initiated the request.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   As with IAMM, in IUMM the SIP INVITE from the Application Server
   could convey application/sdp payload to either set up a media dialog
   or a Control Framework control channel.  In either case, in order to
   permit the Application Server to associate a media dialog with a
   control channel to the same Media Server, using the procedures of
   [RFC6230] section 6, the MRB should be acting as a SIP proxy (and not
   a B2BUA).  This allows the SIP URI of the targeted Media Server to be
   transparently passed back to the Application Server in the SIP
   response resulting in a SIP dialog directly between the Application
   Server and the Media Server.

   While IUMM has the least impact on legacy application servers, it
   also provides the least versatility.  See Section 8.

6.  MRB acting as a B2BUA

   An MRB entity can act as a SIP Back-2-Back-User-Agent (B2BUA) or a
   SIP Proxy Server as defined in RFC 3261 [RFC3261].  When acting as a
   B2BUA issues can arise when using Media Control Channel packages such
   as the IVR[RFC6231] and Mixer[RFC6505] Packages.  Specifically the
   Framework attribute 'connectionid' provided in the appendix titled
   'Appendix: Common Package Components' of Media Control Channel
   Framework[RFC6230] uses a concatenation of the SIP dialog identifiers
   to be used for referencing SIP dialogs within the media control
   channel.  When a request traverses an MRB acting as a B2BUA, the SIP
   dialog identifiers change and so the 'connectionid' can not be used
   as intended due to the SIP dialog identifiers changing.  For this
   reason when a MRB wishes to act as a SIP B2BUA when handling a
   request from an Application Server to set up a media dialog to a
   Media Server it MUST include the optional <connection-id> element in
   a Consumer interface response with a value that provides the
   equivalent for the 'connectionid' ('Local Dialog Tag' + 'Remote
   Dialog Tag') for the far side of the B2BUA.  If present, this value
   MUST be used as the value for the 'connectionid' in packages where
   the Common Package Components are used.  The <connection-id> element
   MUST NOT be included in a HTTP Consumer interface response.

   It is important to point out that, although more Media Server
   instances may be returned in a Consumer response (i.e., the MRB has
   assigned more than one Media Server to a Consumer request to fulfill
   the Application Server requirements), in IAMM the MRB will only act
   as a B2BUA with a single Media Server.  In this case exactly one
   <media-server-address> element, describing the media dialog or CFW
   response, will have a <connection-id> element which will not be
   included in any additional <media-server-address> elements.

7.  Multi-modal MRB Implementations

   An MRB implementation may operate multi-modally with a collection of
   Application Server clients all sharing the same pool of media
   resources.  I.e., an MRB may be simultaneously operating in Query
   mode, IAMM and IUMM.  It knows in which mode to act on any particular
   request from a client depending on the context of the request:

   o  If the received request is a HTTP POST message with application/
      mrb-consumer+xml content, then MRB processes it in Query mode.

   o  If the received request is a SIP INVITE with application/
      mrb-consumer+xml content and application/sdp content, then MRB
      processes it in IAMM.

   o  If the received request is a SIP INVITE without application/
      mrb-consumer+xml content but with application/sdp content then MRB
      processes it in IUMM.

8.  Relative Merits of Query Mode, IAMM, and IUMM

   At a high level, the possible Application Server MRB interactions can
   be distinguished by the following basic types:

   a.  Query mode - the client is requesting the assignment by MRB of
       suitable Media Server resources;

   b.  IAMM - the client is requesting the assignment by MRB of suitable
       Media Server resources and the establishment of a media dialog to
       one of the Media Servers;

   c.  IAMM - the client is requesting the assignment by MRB of suitable
       Media Server resources and the establishment of a CFW control
       channel to one of the Media Servers;

   d.  IUMM - the client is requesting the establishment of a media
       dialog to a Media Server resource;

   e.  IUMM - the client is requesting the establishment of a CFW
       control channel to a Media Server resource.

   Each type of interaction has advantages and disadvantages, where such
   considerations related to the versatility of what MRB can provide,
   technical aspects such as efficiency in different application
   scenarios, complexity, delay, use with legacy Application Servers, or
   use with the Media Control Channel Framework.  Depending on the
   characteristics of a particular setting that an MRB is intended to
   support, some of the above interaction types may be more appropriate
   than others.  This section provides a few observations on relative
   merits, but is not intended to be exhaustive.  Some constraints of a
   given interaction type may be subtle.

   o  Operation with other types of media control: Any of the types of
      interactions work with the use RFC 4240 [RFC4240] and RFC 5552
      [RFC5552] where initial control instructions are conveyed in the
      SIP INVITE from the Application Server for the media dialog to the
      Media Server and subsequent instructions may be fetched using
      HTTP.  Query mode (a), IAMM/media dialog (b) and IUMM/media dialog
      (d) work with MSML as per RFC 5707 [RFC5707] or MSCML as per RFC
      5022 [RFC5022].

   o  As stated previously, IUMM has no interface impacts on an
      Application Server.  When using IUMM the Application Server does
      not specify the characteristics of the type of media resource it
      requires as the <mediaResourceRequest> element is not passed to
      the MRB.  For IUMM media dialog (d), the MRB can deduce an
      appropriate media resource on a best effort basis using

      information gleaned from examining information in the SIP INVITE.
      This includes the SDP information for the media dialog, or initial
      control information in the SIP Request URI as per RFC 4240
      [RFC4240].  With IUMM/control channel (e) there is even less
      information for the MRB to use.

   o  If using IUMM/control channel (e), the subsequent sending of the
      media dialog to the media server should not be done using IUMM/
      media dialog.  I.e., the SIP signalling to send the media dialog
      to the selected media server must be directly between the
      Application Server and that media server, and not through the MRB.
      Unless resources can be confidentially identified, the MRB could
      send the media dialog to a different Media Server.  Likewise, if
      using IUMM/media dialog (d), the subsequent establishment of a
      control channel should not be done with IUMM/control channel (e)
      unless definitive information is available.

   o  Query mode (a) and IAMM/control channel (c) lend themselves to
      requesting a pool of media resources (e.g., a number of IVR or
      conferencing ports) in advance of use and retaining use over a
      period of time, independent of whether there are media dialogs to
      those resources at any given moment, whereas the other types of
      interactions do not.  Likewise for making a subsequent request to
      increase or decrease the amount of resources previously awarded.

   o  While Query mode (a) and IAMM/control channel (c) are the most
      versatile interaction types, the former is completely decoupled
      from the use or not of a control channel, whereas the latter
      requires the use of a control channel.

   o  When Media Control Channel Framework control channels are to be
      used in conjunction with the use of MRB, Query mode (a) would
      typically result in fewer such channels being established over
      time as compared to IAMM/control channel (c).  That is because the
      latter would involve setting up an additional control channel
      every time an Application Server has a new request for MRB for
      media resources.

9.  Examples

   This section provides examples of both the Publish and Consumer
   interfaces.  Both Query and Inline modes are addressed.

   Note that due to RFC formatting conventions, this section often
   splits HTTP, SIP/SDP and CFW across lines whose content would exceed
   72 characters.  A backslash character marks where this line folding
   has taken place.  This backslash and its trailing CRLF and whitespace
   would not appear in the actual protocol contents.  Besides, also note
   that the indentation of the XML content is only provided for
   readability: actual messages will follow strict XML syntax, which
   allows for, but does not require, indentation.

9.1.  Publish Example

   The following example assumes a control channel has been established
   and synced as described in the Media Control Channel Framework
   ([RFC6230]).

   Figure 9 shows the subscription/notification mechanism the Publish
   interface is based on, as defined in Section 5.1.  The MRB subscribes
   for information at the Media Server (message A1.), and the Media
   Server accepts the subscription (A2).  Notifications are triggered by
   the Media Server (A3.) and acknowledged by the MRB (A4.).

B2. MRB -> MS (200 to CONTROL)
------------------------------
CFW 03fff52e7b7a 200


9.2.  Consumer Example

   As specified in Section 5.2, the Consumer interface can be involved
   in two different modes: Query and Inline-aware.  When in Query mode,
   Consumer messages are transported in HTTP messages: an example of
   such an approach is presented in Section 9.2.1.  When in Inline-aware
   mode, instead, messages are transported as part of SIP negotiations:
   considering that SIP negotiations may be related to either the
   creation of a control channel or to a UAC media dialog, two separate
   examples of such an approach are presented in Section 9.2.2.

9.2.1.  Query Example

   The following example assumes the interested Application Server
   already knows the HTTP URL where an MRB is listening for Consumer
   messages.

   Figure 10 shows the HTTP-based transaction between the Application
   Server and the MRB.  The Application Server sends a consumer request
   as payload of an HTTP POST message (1.), and the MRB provides an
   answer in an HTTP 200 OK message (2.).  Specifically, as it will be
   shown in the examples, the Application Server is interested in 100
   IVR ports: the MRB finds two Media Servers that can satisfy the
   request (one providing 60 ports, the other 40 ports) and reports them
   to the Application Server.

   As the example show, the request and response are associated by means
   of the 'id' attribute (id="gh11x23v").  The MRB has picked '9' as the
   random sequence number that needs to be incremented by the
   Application Server for the following request associated with the same
   session.

   The rest of the scenario is omitted for brevity.  After having
   received the 'mediaResourceResponse', the Application Server has the
   URIs of two Media Servers able to fulfil its media requirements, and
   can start a Control Dialog with one or both of them.

9.2.2.  IAMM Example

   Two separate examples are presented for the IAMM case: in fact, IAMM-
   mode can take advantage of two different approaches with respect to
   the SIP dialogs to be exploited to carry consumer messages, i.e.: i)
   a SIP control dialog to create a control channel, and, ii) a UAC
   media dialog to attach to a Media Server.  To make things clearer for
   the reader, the same consumer request as the one presented in the
   Query mode will be sent, in order to clarify how the behaviour of the
   involved parties may differ.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


9.2.2.1.  IAMM Example: CFW-based approach

   The following example assumes the interested Application Server
   already knows the SIP URI for an MRB.

   Figure 11 shows the first approach, i.e.  SIP-based transactions
   between the Application Server, the MRB and one Media Server that the
   MRB chooses from the two that are allocated to fulfil the request.
   The diagram is more complex than before.  This is basically a
   scenario envisaging the MRB as a B2BUA.  The Application Server sends
   a SIP INVITE (1.), containing both a CFW-related SDP and a Consumer
   request (multipart body).  The MRB sends a provisional response to
   the Application Server (2.) and starts working on the request.  First
   of all, it makes use of the Consumer request from the Application
   Server to determine which Media Servers should be exploited.  Once
   the right Media Servers have been chosen (MS1 and MS2 in the
   example), the MRB sends a new SIP INVITE to one of the Media Servers
   (MS1 in the example) by just including the SDP part of the original
   request (3.).  That Media Server negotiates this INVITE as specified
   in [RFC6230] (4., 5., 6.), providing the MRB with its own CFW-related
   SDP.  The MRB replies to the original Application Server INVITE
   preparing a SIP 200 OK with another multipart body (7.): this
   multipart body includes the Consumer response used by the MRB to
   determine the right Media Servers and the SDP returned by the Media
   Server (MS1) in 5.  The Application Server finally acknowledges the
   200 OK (8.), and can start a CFW connection towards that Media Server
   (MS1).  Since the MRB provided the Application Server with two Media
   Server instances to fulfil its requirements, the Application Server
   can use the URI in the <media-server-address> element in the
   <mediaResourceResponse> that describes the other Media Server to
   establish a CFW channel with that Media Server (MS2) as well.

   Please note that, to ease the reading of the protocol contents, a
   simple '=_Part' is used whenever a boundary for a 'multipart/mixed'
   payload is provided, instead of the actual boundary that would be
   inserted in the SIP messages.

   The rest of this section includes an almost full trace of the
   messages associated with the previous sequence diagram.  Only the
   relevant SIP messages are shown (both the INVITEs and the 200 OKs),
   and only the relevant headers are preserved for brevity (Content-Type
   and multipart-related information).  Specifically:

   1.  the original INVITE (1), containing both a CFW-related SDP
       (COMEDIA information to negotiate a new Control Channel) and a
       Consumer <mediaResourceRequest>;

   2.  the INVITE sent by the MRB to the Media Server as a B2BUA (3.),
       containing only the CFW-related SDP from the original INVITE;.

   3.  the 200 OK sent by the Media Server back to the MRB (5.), to
       complete the CFW-related negotiation (SDP only);

   4.  the 200 OK sent by the MRB back to the Application Server in
       response to the original INVITE (7.), containing both the CFW-
       related information sent by the Media Server and a Consumer
       <mediaResourceRequest> documenting the MRB's decision to use that
       Media Server.

   As the previous example illustrates, the only difference in the
   response the MRB provides the Application Server with is in the
   'connection-id' attribute that is added to the first allocated Media

   Server instance: this allows the Application Server to understand the
   MRB has sent the CFW channel negotiation to that specific Media
   Server, and that the connection-id to be used is the one provided.
   This will be described in more detail in the following section, for
   the media dialog-based approach.

   The continuation of the scenario (the Application Server connecting
   to MS1 to start the Control Channel and the related SYNC message, the
   Application Server connecting to MS2 as well later on, all the media
   dialogs being attached to either Media Server) are omitted for
   brevity.

9.2.2.2.  IAMM Example: Media dialog-based approach

   The following example assumes the interested Application Server
   already knows the SIP URI of an MRB.

   Figure 12 shows the second approach, i.e.  SIP-based transactions
   between a SIP client, the Application Server, the MRB and the Media
   Server that the MRB chooses.  The interaction is basically the same
   as previous examples (e.g. contents of the multipart body) but
   considering a new party is involved in the communication, the diagram
   is slightly more complex than before.  As before, the MRB acts as a
   B2BUA.  A UAC sends a SIP INVITE to a SIP URI handled by the
   Application Server, since it is interested to its services (1.).  The
   Application Server sends a provisional response (2.) and, since it
   doesn't have the resources yet, sends to the MRB a new SIP INVITE
   (3.), containing both the UAC media-related SDP and a Consumer
   request (multipart body).  The MRB sends a provisional response to
   the Application Server (4.) and starts working on the request.  First
   of all, it makes use of the Consumer request from the Application
   Server to determine which Media Servers should be chosen.  Once the
   Media Server has been chosen, the MRB sends a new SIP INVITE to one
   of the Media Servers by including the SDP part of the original
   request (5.).  The Media Server negotiates this INVITE as specified
   in [RFC6230] (6., 7., 8.) to allocate the needed media resources to
   handle the new media dialog, eventually providing the MRB with its
   own media-related SDP.  The MRB replies to the original Application
   Server INVITE preparing a SIP 200 OK with a multipart body (9.): this
   multipart body includes the Consumer response from the MRB indicating
   the chosen Media Servers and the SDP returned by the Media Server in
   7.  The Application Server finally acknowledges the 200 OK (10.), and
   ends the scenario by eventually providing the UAC with the SDP it
   needs to set-up the RTP channels with the chosen Media Server: a
   separate direct SIP control dialog may be initiated by the
   Application Server to the same Media Server in order to set up a
   control channel to manipulate the media dialog media.

Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   As with the IAMM - CFW example in the prior section, this example has
   the MRB selecting Media Server resources across two Media Server
   instances.  The convention could be that the MRB sent the SIP INVITE
   to the first Media Server in the list provided to the Application
   Server in the Consumer response information.  For the sake of
   brevity, the considerations about connecting to the other Media
   Servers as well are omitted, since they have already been addressed
   in the previous section.

   Please note that, to ease the reading of the protocol contents, a
   simple '=_Part' is used whenever a boundary for a 'multipart/mixed'
   payload is provided, instead of the actual boundary that would be
   inserted in the SIP messages.

       related information sent by the Media Server and a Consumer
       <mediaResourceRequest> documenting the MRB's decision to use that

   As the examples illustrate, as in the IAMM-CFW example, the MRB
   provides the Application Server with a 'media-server-address' element
   in the consumer response: the 'uri' attribute identifies the specific
   Media Server to which the MRB has sent the SDP media negotiation, and
   the 'connection-id' enables the Application Server to identify to the
   Media Server the dialog between the MRB and Media Server.  This
   attribute is needed, since, according to the framework specification,
   the connection-id is built out of the From/To tags of the dialog
   between the MRB and Media Server; since the MRB acts as a B2BUA in
   this scenario, without that attribute the Application Server does not
   know the relevant tags, thus preventing the CFW protocol to work as
   expected.

   The continuation of the scenario (the Application Server connecting
   to the Media Server to start the Control Channel, the SYNC message,
   etc.) are omitted for brevity.

12.  Security Considerations

   The MRB network entity has two primary interfaces, Publish and
   Consumer, that carry sensitive information and must therefore be
   appropriately protected and secured.

   The Publish interface, as defined in, and described in Section 5.1,
   uses the Media Control Channel Framework [RFC6230] as a mechanism to
   connect an MRB to a media server.  It is very important that the
   communication between the MRB and the Media Server is secured: a
   malicious entity, may change or even delete subscriptions to a Media
   Server, thus affecting the view the MRB has of the resources actually
   available on a Media Server, leading it to incorrect selection when
   media resources are being requested by an Application Server.  A
   malicious entity may even manipulate resources availability on a
   Media Server, for example, to make the MRB think no resources are
   available at all.  Considering the Publish interface is a CFW Control
   Package, the same Security Considerations included in the Media
   Control Channel Framework specification apply here to protect
   interactions between an MRB and a Media Server.

   The Publish interface also allows a Media Server, as explained in
   Section Section 5.1.5.18, to provide more or less accurate
   information about its geographic location, should Application Servers
   be interested in such kind of details when looking for services at a
   Media Resource Broker.  While the usage of this information is
   entirely optional and the level of detail to be provided
   implementation specific, it is important to draw the attention on the
   potential security issues that the disclosure of such addresses may
   introduce.  As such, it is important to make sure MRB implementations
   don't disclose this information as is to interested Application
   Servers, but only exploit those addresses as part of computation
   algorithms to pick the most adequate resources Application Servers
   may be looking for.

   The Consumer interface, as defined in and described in Section 5.2,
   conceives transactions based on a session ID.  These transactions may
   be transported either by means of HTTP messages, or SIP dialogs.
   This means that malicious users could be able to disrupt or
   manipulate an MRB session should they have access to the above
   mentioned session ID or replicate it somehow: for instance, a
   malicious entity could modify an existing session between an
   Application Server and the MRB, e.g., requesting less resources than
   originally requested to cause media dialogs to be rejected by the
   Application Server, or requesting many more resources instead to try
   and lock as many of (if not all) the resources a MRB can provide,
   thus making them unavailable to other legitimate Application Servers
   in subsequent requests.  In order to prevent this, it is strongly



Boulton, et al.          Expires August 8, 2013               [Page 128]


Internet-Draft          Media Resource Brokering           February 2013


   adviced for MRB implementations to generate very hard to replicate
   session identifiers, in order to minimize the chances malicious users
   could gain access to valid ones just guessing or by means of brute
   force attacks.  It is very important, of course, to also secure the
   way these identifiers are transported by the involved parties, both
   in requests and responses, in order to prevent network attackers from
   intercepting Consumer messages and have access to session IDs.  The
   Consumer interface uses either the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
   or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the mechanism for clients to
   connect to an MRB to request media resources.  In the case of the
   HTTP use, any binding using the Consumer interface MUST be capable of
   being transacted over TLS, as described in RFC 2818 [RFC2818].  In
   the case of the SIP use, the same security considerations included in
   the Media Control Channel Framework specification apply here to
   protect interactions between a client requesting media resources and
   an MRB.

   Should a valid session ID be compromised somehow (that is,
   intercepted or just guessed by a malicious user), as a further means
   to prevent disruption, the Consumer interface also prescribes the use
   of a sequence number in its transactions.  This sequence number is to
   be increased after each successful transaction, starting from a first
   value randomly generated by the MRB when the session is first
   created, and must match in every request/response.  While this adds
   complexity to the protocol (implementations must pay attention to
   those sequence numbers, since wrong values will cause "Wrong sequence
   number" errors and the failure of the related requests), it is an
   important added value for security.  In fact, considering different
   transaction related to the same session could be transported in
   different, unrelated HTTP messages (or SIP INVITEs in case the Inline
   mode is being used), this sequence number protection prevents the
   chances of session replication or disruption, especially in cases
   where the session ID has been compromised: that is, it should make it
   harder for malicious users to manipulate or remove a session for
   which they have obtained the Session ID.  It is strongly advised that
   MRB doesn't choose 1 as the first sequence number for a new session,
   but rather pick a random value to start from.  The reaction to out of
   sequence transactions is left to MRB implementations: a related error
   code is available, but implementations may decide to enforce further
   limitations or actions upon the receival of too many failed attempts
   in a row, or of what looks like blatant attempts to guess what the
   current, valid sequence number is.

   It is also worth noting that in In-line mode (both IAMM and IUMM) the
   MRB may act as a Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA).  This means that,
   as a B2BUA, the MRB may modify SIP bodies: it is the case, for
   instance, of the IAMM handling multipart/mixed payloads.  This
   impacts the ability to use any SIP security feature that protects the

   body (e.g., RFC4474, s/mime, etc.) unless the MRB intermediates the
   security association.  This should be taken into account when
   implementing an MRB compliant with this specification.

   Both the Publishing and Consumer interface may address the location
   of a Media Server: the Publishing interface may be used to inform the
   MRB where a Media Server is located (approximately or precisely), and
   the Consumer interface to ask for a Media Server located somewhere in
   particular region (e.g., a conference bridge close to San Francisco).
   Both Media Server and MRB implementors need to take this into account
   when deciding whether or not make this location information
   available, and if so how much bits of information really need to be
   made available for brokering purposes.

   It is worthwhile covering authorization issues related to this
   specification.  Neither the Publishing or the Consumer interface
   provide an explicit means for implementing authentication, i.e., they
   do not contain specific protocol interactions to ensure that
   authorized Application Servers can make use of the services provided
   by an MRB instance.  Considering both the interfaces are transported
   using well-established protocols (HTTP, SIP, CFW), support for such
   functionality can be expressed by means of the authentication
   mechanisms provided by the protocol themselves.  Therefore, any MRB-
   aware entity (Application Servers, Media Servers, Media Resource
   Brokers themselves) MUST support the HTTP and SIP Digest access
   authentication.  The usage of such Digest access authentications is
   recommended and not mandatory, which means MRB-aware entities MAY
   exploit it in deployment.

   An MRB may want to enforce further constraints on the interactions
   between an Application Server/Media Server and an MRB.  For example,
   it may choose to only accept requests associated with a specific
   session ID from the IP address that originated the first request, or
   just make use of pre-shared certificates to assess the identity of
   legitimate Application Server and/or Media Server.

   o  Removed 'support' attribute from both the <vxml-support> element
      (Publisher schema) and the <vxml> element (Consumer schema): now
      an empty element means no VXML support is provided/requested.

   o  Clarified the scope of the 'application-data' element, and changed
      its type from xsd:NMTOKEN to xsd:string in the schema.

   o  Clarified the use of the <subscription> element in an
      <mrbresponse.

      incorrectly defined as choices instead of sequences;

   o  Corrected examples after validation tests;

   o  Fixed a few typos in the text.

   o  Clarified language in various places.

   o  Added 'Multi-modal MRB Implementations' section.

      reply to updates, but also to new requests; besides, clarified
      that it is an optional element, in the sense that it is mandatory
      in successful responses (200), while not needed otherwise (any
      error).

   o  Corrected the Query example flow which included a 'session'info'
      in a new request.

14.11.  Changes from 03 Version

   o  Addressed comments per the Expert RAI Review by Ben Campbell.

   o  Several editorial changes (fixes, typos, nits).

   o  Removed the 3xx class responses for the IAMM, per discussion in
      Anaheim (feature had been added in the -02 version).

   o  Clarified that backslashes and XML indentation in the Examples are
      only provided for readability.
