Internet-Draft            Partial notification                  May 2005


1.  Introduction

   A presence event package for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [4]
   allow users ('watchers') to subscribe to other users'
   ('presentities') presence information.  The presence information is
   composed of multiple pieces of data that are delivered to the
   watcher.  The size of the presence information document can be large
   (i.e. the presence document can contain an arbitrary number of
   elements called presence tuples that convey data).  As specified in
   RFC2778 [3] and presence event package for SIP [4], a Presence Agent
   (PA) always delivers in presence notifications all the presence data
   that has been authorized for a certain watcher.  This is done
   regardless of what presence data has changed compared to last
   notification.  It may not be reasonable to send the complete presence
   information over low bandwidth and high latency links when only part
   of the presence information has actually changed.  This may end up
   degrading the presence service and causing bad perception at the
   watcher side.

   This document defines a partial notification approach where the
   presence server delivers to the watchers only those parts of the
   presence information that have changed compared to the presence
   information sent in the previous notifications.  This reduces the
   amount of data that needs be transported over the network.

   This mechanism utilizes the presence event package for SIP [4] and a
   new MIME type for carrying partial Presence Information Data Format
   documents [2]

2.  Conventions

   In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
   "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
   and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1] and
   indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.

   This document makes use of the vocabulary defined in RFC2778 [3],
   RFC3265 [7], the presence event package for SIP [4], and the PIDF
   extension for Partial Presence [2].

3.  Introduction to the partial notification mechanism

   This chapter briefly introduces the regular functionality of the
   presence service, and gives an overview of the partial notification
   solution.  This section is informational in nature.  It does not
   contain any normative statements.

3.1  Basic presence agent operation

   The presence service normally operates so that a watcher sends a SIP
   SUBSCRIBE request targeted to the presentity.  The request is routed
   to the presence agent where the presentity's presence information is
   stored.  The SUBSCRIBE request can include an Accept header field
   that indicates the supported content types.

   The presence agent receives the SUBSCRIBE request and if there is no
   Accept header indicating the supported content types or the Accept
   header contains the default PIDF content type, the PA will generate
   presence notifications using the default PIDF format [6].  The PIDF
   document can contain one or multiple XML elements.  The PIDF document
   include a set of elements defined in RFC2778 [3] and its extensions
   for representing the presence information.  This PIDF document will
   be carried in the body of a NOTIFY request constructed as per RFC3265
   [7].  During basic operation, the presence document always contains
   the full state corresponding to the presence status of the
   presentity, as determined by the PA local policy and authorization
   rules.

3.2  Operation with partial notification

   The partial notification mechanism allows a watcher to request that,
   whenever possible, notifications contain only presence information
   that has actually changed.  A watcher that wants to receive partial
   notifications according to this document, creates a SIP SUBSCRIBE
   request similar to that of a regular presence subscription.  However,
   the SIP SUBSCRIBE request contains an Accept header field whose value
   contains the "application/pidf-diff+xml" tag.

   When the presence agent receives the subscription, it examines the
   Accept header field value and if "application/pidf-diff+xml" value is
   present, it can decide to use the partial notifications mechanism
   specified in this memo.  The presence agent builds NOTIFY requests
   that contain the Content-Type header field set to "application/
   pidf-diff+xml".  The first NOTIFY request that contains presence
   information will contain a full presence document.  Subsequent NOTIFY
   requests can contain partial notifications.  This behavior is
   described in detail in Section 4.

4.  Client and server operations

   Unless otherwise specified in this document, the regular watcher and
   presence agent behavior is applied as defined in the SIP presence
   event package [4].

Internet-Draft            Partial notification                  May 2005


4.1  Content-type for partial notifications

   Entities supporting the partial notification extension described in
   this document MUST support the 'application/pidf-diff+xml' content-
   type specified in the PIDF extension for partial presence [2].

4.2  Watcher generation of SUBSCRIBE requests

   A SUBSCRIBE request can be used to negotiate the preferred content
   type to be used in the notifications.  The Accept header field is
   used for this purpose as specified in RFC2161 [5].  When a watcher
   wants to allow the presence agent to send partial notifications the
   watcher MUST include an Accept header field in its SUBSCRIBE request.
   The value of the Accept header file MUST contain 'application/
   pidf-diff+xml' (in addition to 'application/pidf+xml' required by the
   SIP  presence event package [4]).  The watcher MAY include a "q"
   parameter with each Accept value to indicate the relative preference
   of that value.

4.3  Presence agent processing of SUBSCRIBE requests

   The presence agent receives subscriptions from watchers and generates
   notifications according to the SIP presence event package [4].  If
   the watcher has indicated the supported content types in the Accept
   header field of the SUBSCRIBE request, the presence agent compares
   the values included in the Accept header field with the supported
   ones, and decides which one to use.  If the watcher has indicated
   preferred accept values by means of "q" parameters, the presence
   agent SHOULD base the decision on those preferences, unless otherwise
   indicated by the presence agent local policy.

4.4  Presence agent generation of partial notifications

   Once a subscription is accepted and installed, the PA MUST deliver
   the full state of the presence information in the first notification
   that contains a presence document.  If the presence agent decides to
   send notifications according to this specification that include a
   presence document, the presence agent MUST build a presence document
   according to the PIDF extension for Partial Presence [2] and MUST set
   the Content-Type header field to the value 'application/
   pidf-diff+xml'.

   When using the 'application/pidf-diff+xml' MIME type the PA MUST
   include a "version" attribute and for the first notification (within
   a given subscription) the PA MUST initialize version to value one
   (1).  This version counter is scoped to the subscription.  Version is
   only reset when the given subscription is terminated.  It is not
   reset when the subscription is refreshed.

Internet-Draft            Partial notification                  May 2005


   When the PA the generates partial notifications, the PA SHOULD
   include only that presence information that have changed compared to
   the previous notification.  It is up to the PA's local policy to
   determine what is considered as a change to the previous state.

   The PA MUST construct the partial presence document according to the
   following logic:

   o  The PA MUST construct the presence information according to the
      PIDF extension for Partial Presence format [2].  All the
      information that  has been added to the presence document is
      listed inside <add> elements.  All information that has been
      removed from the presence document is listed inside <remove>
      elements and all information that has been changed is listed under
      <replace> elements.

   o  The PA MUST include a "version"  attribute in the presence
      document.  The PA MUST increment the version number by one
      compared to the earlier successfully send presence document to the
      watcher associated with a certain subscription.

   The PA MUST NOT send a new NOTIFY request that contains a partial
   presence document (not a re-transmission) for the same Request-URI,
   until it has received a final response from the watcher for the
   previous one or the previous NOTIFY request has timed out.

   The PA always ends a sequence of partial notifications when it
   receives any SUBSCRIBE request (refresh or termination) within the
   associated subscription.  The PA sends a NOTIFY request containing
   the full presence document to this SUBSCRIBE request.

4.5  Watcher processing of NOTIFY requests

   Watcher processes all NOTIFY requests that contain 'application/
   pidf+xml' content type as specified in RFC3856 [4].

   When the watcher receives the first notification containing
   'application/pidf-diff+xml' MIME body the watcher MUST initialize an
   internal version counter, related to this subscription, to the value
   of the "version" included in the presence document.  This version
   counter is scoped to the subscription.

   When the watcher receives a subsequent 'application/pidf-diff+xml'
   encoded presence document the watcher MUST compare the received
   "version" attribute with the local version counter.  If the version
   number is incremented by one, the watcher MUST modify its local
   presence document according to the following logic:

Internet-Draft            Partial notification                  May 2005


   o  If the root element of the presence document is <pidf-full> the
      watcher must replace its local copy of the presence document with
      the presence document received in the 'application/pidf-diff+xml'
      body.

   o  If the root element of the presence document is <pidf-diff> the
      watcher MUST apply the changes to its local copy of the full
      presence document indicated in the received 'application/
      pidf-diff+xml' document as specified in PIDF extension for Partial
      Presence [2].

   o  The watcher MUST increment local version counter by one.

   If the watcher receives an 'application/pidf-diff+xml' encoded
   partial presence document whose "version" attribute value higher by
   more than one with the locally stored value the watcher assumes that
   one or more NOTIFYs were lost.  The watcher SHOULD either refresh the
   subscription in order to receive a full presence document or
   terminate the subscription.  If the watcher receives a presence
   document with the "version" attribute value equal or lower than the
   locally stored version number, it is considered a PA failure and the
   watcher SHOULD discard the document without further processing.

   If the PA changes the content type used in notifications within the
   existing subscription the watcher MUST discard all the previously
   received presence information (except local version counter) from
   that particular presentity and process the new content as specified
   for that content type.  Local version counter MUST NOT be discarded
   because if PA changes back to 'application/pidf-diff+xml' MIME type
   version counter will continue to increase from last version value.

5.  Examples

   The following message flow shows an example applying the partial
   notifications mechanism.

   A watcher sends a SUBSCRIBE request declaring support for the default
   presence format ('application/pidf+xml) and the for the partial
   notification ('application/pidf-diff+xml') in the Accept header field
   value.  The watcher uses the "q" parameter to set the preference for
   receiving partial notifications.  The PA accepts the subscription
   and, based on the "q" parameter value, selects to send partial
   notifications in NOTIFY requests.  The first NOTIFY request includes
   the full state of presence information represented in the
   'application/pidf+xml' content type.  The following notifications
   only include the delta of the presence information from the previous
   NOTIFY request.

6.  Security Considerations

   This specification relies on the presence event package for SIP [4].
   Partial notifications can reveal information about what has changed
   compared to the previous notification.  This can make it easier for
   eavesdropper to know what kind of changes are happening in the
   presentity's presence information.  However, the same information can
   be found if the presence event package is used with baseline PIDF
   [6].

   A third party can inject a NOTIFY request with partial state that
   will cause the watcher to think it has missed a partial document and
   to request a new full state document.  This is no worse than what we
   have without this extension since a party that could perform such
   action could also send a NOTIFY with Subscription-State: terminated
   and achieve the same effect without knowing about the extension.
   Partial Notification does not make the situation any worse, and the
   protection mechanisms from the existing system apply to preventing
   this attack against the partial notification mechanism.

   Presence related security considerations are extensively discussed in
   the presence event package for SIP [4] and all those identified
   security considerations apply to this document as well.  Issues
   described in the presence event package for SIP [4], including

   confidentiality, message integrity and authenticity, outbound
   authentication, replay prevention, DoS attacks against thirst parties
   and DoS attacks against servers all apply here without any change

   It is RECOMMENDED that TLS [8] be used between elements to provide
   hop by hop confidentially protection.  Furthermore, SMIME MAY be used
   for integrity and authenticity of SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY requests.
   This is described in Section 23 of RFC 3261.
