1. Abstract

   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) allows the establishment of
   real-time Internet fax communications.  Real-time facsimile
   communications over IP may follow 2 modes of operation: T.38 fax
   relay as defined by the ITU-T T.38 recommendation or fax pass-
   through.
   This document clarifies the options available to Internet telephony
   gateway vendors to handle real-time fax calls using SIP.  While our
   primary focus is to address the more reliable real-time T.38 Group 3
   fax mode, we briefly cover the fax pass-through mode to enable
   fallback operations and super G3 fax communications using SIP.  We
   also give examples of SIP call flows for real-time Internet fax
   gateways or SIP proxy redirect servers.  Elements in these call
   flows include SIP User Agents, SIP Proxy Servers, and Gateways to
   the PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network).
   This document introduces best current practices for SIP T.38 fax and
   SIP fax pass-through sessions.  A session starts with audio
   capabilities, and, upon fax tone detection, T.38 fax capabilities
   are negotiated; upon successful negotiation, the session continues

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   with fax capabilities and the media termination hosts exchange T.38
   Internet fax packets.  The T.38 fax call scenarios include various
   aspects of the call sequence: the detection of fax transmission, the
   usage of the T.38 session description attributes, the optional
   fallback into fax pass-through mode and the session termination. The
   fax pass-through call scenarios involve some specific SDP media
   attributes to enable proper fax transmission.
   Fax transmission can be detected by the receiving side, the emitting
   side or both (in the latter case, a 'glare' effect may appear).
   This document only covers the case when the fax transmission is
   detected by the receiving side: it is the most common practice and
   the other cases do not represent any particular challenges and are
   therefore left for future discussions).  Call flow diagrams and
   message details are shown.  A list of IANA defined SDP attribute
   names for T.38 is summarized in section 7.

2. Conventions used in this document

   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 [2].


3. Overview

   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is defined by RFC3261 [3] and
   T.38 is the ITU-T Recommendation defining the procedures for real-
   time Group 3 facsimile communications over IP networks [4].  This
   document deals with the handling of real-time fax communications
   using the SIP protocol for T.38 fax and fax pass-through modes.
   For T.38, this document deals primarily with one transport protocol
   for the media: T.38 over UDP/UDPTL; T.38 fax packet transport over
   TCP using SIP session establishment can easily be extrapolated.
   These T.38 call flows were developed in the design of carrier-class
   SIP Telephony products supporting voice and real-time fax traffic.
   It is the hope of the authors that this document will be useful for
   the SIP community, SIP implementors of T.38 fax products, designers.
   Call flows shown in this document complement the main SIP call flow
   Internet-Draft [5].  These call flows are based on the current
   version 2.0 of SIP in RFC3261[3], the ITU-T T.38 Amendment 2 [6] and
   an ITU-T SG8 liaison to IANA.  Note: IANA registration of the T.38
   SDP attributes is currently a work in progress.


3.1.  General Assumptions

   Internet telephony gateways with T.38 support MAY pass various fax
   tones (T.30 CNG, CED, etc.) or flag sequence (like V.21 Preamble) in
   the RTP audio streams before those tones or flag sequence are
   detected.  Once detected by the DSP resources, T.38 fax-capable
   devices switch from audio to fax mode and initiate a T.38 fax packet
   transmission.
   These best current practices MAY apply to "Network Gateway",
   "Enterprise Gateway" and Internet-aware fax devices or terminals.


3.2 Legend for Message Flows

   The legend defined [5] also applies in this document.
   Dashed lines (---) represent control messages that are mandatory to
   the call scenario.  These control messages can be SIP or PSTN
   signaling. Double dashed lines (===) represent media paths between
   network elements. Messages with parenthesis around name represent
   optional control messages.  Messages are identified in the Figures
   as F1, F2, etc.  This references the message details in the table
   that follows the Figure.  Comments in the message details are shown
   in the following form:    /* Comments. */

4 Handling of real-time fax communication using SIP

   The handling of real-time fax sessions using SIP involves the
   initial session establishment, the modification or negotiation of


J-F. Mule/J. Li                                                      5

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   session capabilities upon fax detection, the optional fallback into
   fax pass-through mode and the session termination.

   Some variants of these best current practices MAY apply depending on
   the nature or the configuration of Internet telephony gateways.  Two
   distinct cases are considered in this document:
         o The Internet telephony gateway only supports T.38 real-time
   fax communications (by design or by configuration).  In this case,
   the Internet fax gateway SHOULD initiate the SIP session with T.38
   SDP capabilities (this is typically the case of Internet fax
   terminals, also called Internet-aware fax devices or the case of
   gateways statically configured to support T.38 fax calls only);
         o The Internet telephony gateway supports voice and real-time
   fax communications.  In this case, the Internet telephony gateway
   initiates the SIP session with audio capabilities, and, upon fax
   detection, the switchover to T.38 fax capabilities is triggered.
   The fax media connection may replace or be added to the audio
   connection depending on the target applications.


4.1 Internet telephony gateways and fax detection

   Two possible ways exist for an Internet telephony gateway to detect
   a facsimile communication:

   1. On the emitting gateway (the one sending the facsimile document),
   the T.30 calling tone (CNG) is detected.  The CNG tone is however an
   optional signal [7];
   2. On the receiving gateway, the V.21 Preamble flag sequence is
   detected.  The Preamble is always present and follows the called
   station identification tone (CED) when CED is present.
   Note that even though the CED tone may be detected on the receiving
   gateway, since the fax CED tone is similar to V.25 ANS modem tones,
   it SHOULD NOT be used to trigger the fax switchover.

   In conclusion, several conditions can trigger fax detection.
   Internet telephony gateways supporting T.38 real-time facsimile MUST
   support the detection of fax transmission on the V.21 Preamble flag
   sequence; Internet telephony gateways MAY support the detection of
   fax on CNG tone.  The authors recommend that a facsimile
   transmission SHOULD be detected on the receiving Internet telephony
   gateway.


4.2 Internet telephony gateways and T.38 fax media connections

   Upon successful fax detection, the description of the media
   connection(s) is modified using the SDP protocol [8] as described in
   SIP (see sections in chapter 5).

   Several cases should be considered:
   - In the case of Internet fax devices (supporting T.38 fax only
   communications), the SIP session is established with SDP description

J-F. Mule/J. Li                                                      6

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   containing the T.38 media attributes; refer to section 5.1 for a
   sample call flow for Internet fax devices.
   - In the case of Internet telephony gateways, the SIP/SDP session is
   modified and the T.38 fax media connection SHOULD replace the
   existing audio media connection.  The SIP UAC triggering the
   modification of the session description MUST indicate all of its
   T.38 media attributes in SDP.  This is the recommended behavior for
   gateways; refer to section 5.2 for a sample call flow illustrating
   this scenario.
   Some implementations MAY choose to add the fax media connection to
   the existing audio connection and in that case, they SHOULD mute the
   audio connection while fax is transmitted.  Refer to section 5.3 for
   a sample call flow illustrating this optional scenario.

   Note:
   Among the SDP T.38 media attributes being exchanged after fax
   detection, implementors should particularly pay attention to
   T38MaxBitRate, the maximum T.38 bit rate for the media connection.
   It is recommended to implement the following rule when responding to
   a maximum bit rate proposal.  If the remote peer's SDP description
   contains a maximum fax bit rate of X and the local host is set to a
   maximum bit rate of Y (either by fax protocol detection or
   configuration), the local host MUST propose a maximum fax rate of
   min (X,Y) in the SIP response to the re-INVITE in order to
   facilitate the negotiation.  This note is exemplified in section
   5.2.1. in messages F11-F14.  Failures to implement this rule MAY
   imply call teardown in some cases.


4.3 SIP session and fax termination

   Upon completion of the fax transmission, any audio connection
   successfully established prior to fax detection SHOULD be restored
   or the session MUST be terminated.


4.4 Internet telephony gateways and fax pass-through mode

   This section deals real-time facsimile communications over IP using
   fax pass-through instead of T.38 fax relay.  In this mode, the
   facsimile communication is handled as a PCM audio call (PCMA/PCMU as
   specified in ITU-T recommendation G.711).

   The fax pass-through mode is important to prevent call failures, for
   example in cases when one of the SIP communication peers does not
   support T.38.  For Internet telephony gateways with support for
   PCM/G.711 audio but no support for T.38 real-time fax, it is
   recommended to switch the session to fax pass-through mode.
   Internet telephony gateways SHOULD handle the fall back mode to fax
   pass-through by recognizing the SDP T.38 connection and proposing to
   switch to a new audio connection.  The new audio connection SHOULD
   have the following characteristics: at a minimum, specify PCM G.711
   codec, silence suppression OFF. The telephony gateway that

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   originated the failed T.38 re-INVITE SHOULD initiate the subsequent
   re-INVITE to fax pass-through mode.
   Refer to section 6.2 for a sample call flow illustrating this
   scenario.

4.6 Beyond Internet telephony gateways

   This document may also serve to vendors of SIP redirect servers or
   other SIP UA types like SIP phones.  Such SIP entities may recognize
   the fax nature of the sessions and redirect the flows to the proper
   real-time fax-capable devices or to other fax service providers.


5 Successful SIP T.38 fax Call Scenarios


5.1 Internet fax device -                        - fax only support

   This section represents a SIP call flow for a T.38 fax session
   between 2 Internet fax terminals.  It is also applicable to Internet
   telephony gateways when telephony ports are statically configured to
   support fax only (case of analog IP telephony gateways where a
   specific port is connected to a fax terminal).
   A session starts with fax capabilities (t.38/udptl).  The mechanism
   for supporting T.38 in SIP & SDP is detailed in T.38 Annex D [9], a
   temporary document that proposes an amendment to T.38 describing SIP
   call establishment procedures.

5.2 SIP T.38 fax call -                      - fax stream replaces voice stream

   This section represents the SIP call flow for a T.38 fax session
   between 2 Internet telephony gateways (fax detection on terminating
   side).
   A session starts with audio capabilities, and then the session is
   modified to switch to t38 fax mode (t.38/udptl).

   Scenario:
   1. A SIP INVITE is sent to the called party requesting a voice
   connection per RFC3261; our scenario involves 1 SIP proxy.  An audio
   connection is established,
   2. Upon detection of Preamble by the terminating gateway, a SIP re-
   INVITE request is sent to the emitting gateway to modify the
   parameters of the session to allow a T.38 fax media connection.


J-F. Mule/J. Li                                                     14

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   This INVITE request contains new SDP information detailing T.38
   capabilities,
   3. Upon successful acknowledgments, T.38 IFP fax packets are
   sent/received on UDP ports, which may be the same UDP ports used for
   audio RTP,
   4. Once the fax transmission is terminated, audio capabilities are
   æærestoredÆÆ or the call is terminated.




5.2.1 Sequence Diagram
   In our example, we illustrate the fact that Internet telephony
   gateways may use multiple network interfaces for signaling and/or
   media streaming or one network interface with multiple IP addresses.
   Typically, our example shows:
      - one interface for SIP signaling
   (ingress gateway = ift.here.com, egress gateway = iftgw.there.com)
      - one or multiple interface(s) for media transport:
   (ingress gateway = iftmg.here.com, egress gateway = iftmg.there.com)
   A proxy is acting as a pure SIP signaling proxy
   (obelix.banyuls.com).

5.3 SIP T.38 fax call -                      - fax stream added to voice stream




J-F. Mule/J. Li                                                     26

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   This section represents the SIP call flow for a T.38 fax session
   between 2 Internet telephony gateways.  It shows the detection of
   the fax communication on terminating or receiving side.
   A session starts with one audio stream in SDP, and, upon detection
   of fax, an additional fax stream is added to the session while the
   voice stream is muted.  After the fax communication is terminated,
   the fax stream is terminated and the voice stream is restored.

   Scenario:
   1. A SIP INVITE is sent to the called party requesting a voice
   connection per RFC3261; our scenario involves 1 SIP proxy.  An audio
   connection is established,
   2. Upon detection of Preamble by the terminating gateway, a SIP
   re¡INVITE request is sent to the emitting gateway to modify the
   parameters of the session to add a T.38 fax connection.  The
   connection data is specified per media description and not at the
   session-level.  This allows the audio stream and t.38 fax stream to
   be controlled independently (i.e., placing the audio on hold while
   the t.38 fax transmission is active).  Also note that the t.38 fax
   media stream has been added to the session.  This re-INVITE request
   contains SDP information detailing the additional T.38 capabilities,
   3. It is suggested that the voice pipe be muted while the fax
   session is in progress.  Upon successful acknowledgments, T.38 IFP
   fax packets are sent/received on different UDP ports than the one
   used for audio RTP,
   4. Once the fax transmission is terminated, audio capabilities are
   æærestoredÆÆ or the call is terminated.

5.4 SIP T.38 fax call -                      - fax stream forced to replace voice stream

   This section illustrates the following scenario:


J-F. Mule/J. Li                                                     38

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


   1. A SIP INVITE is sent to the called party requesting a voice
   connection per RFC3261; our scenario involves 1 SIP proxy.  An audio
   connection is established,
   2. Upon detection of Preamble by the terminating gateway, a SIP
   re¡INVITE request is sent to the emitting gateway to modify the
   parameters of the session to add a T.38 fax connection.  This re-
   INVITE request contains SDP information detailing the additional
   T.38 capabilities.  It is also suggested that the voice pipe be
   muted while the fax session is in progress.
   3. The emitting gateway does not have the resources to maintain both
   the audio & fax streams and replies by allowing the fax media
   stream.  Upon successful acknowledgments, the audio stream is
   terminated and T.38 IFP fax packets are exchanged,
   4. Once the fax transmission is terminated, audio capabilities are
   æære-negotiatedÆÆ and the call is terminated.

5.4.1 Sequence Diagram
   Refer to section 5.3.1; sequence diagram is unchanged.




5.4.2 Message Details
   See section 5.3.2 for the complete set of messages.  We only
   indicate the changed messages based on the emitting gatewayÆs
   decline to support both voice and fax streams.

6.2. Unsuccessful T.38 fax scenario -                                    - 488/606 rsp & G.711 fallback

   This section represents an unsuccessful SIP T.38 fax call:  when the
   emitting gateway does not support T.38 fax relay, it SHOULD respond
   with either a ææ488 Not Acceptable HereÆÆ response or a ææ606 Not
   AcceptableÆÆ response to indicate that some aspects of the session
   description are not acceptable.  The terminating gateway SHOULD
   react by proposing a fallback to G.711 fax pass-through with special
   codec characteristics -                         -silence suppression OFF.  The message details
   in this section make use of the generic SDP attribute silenceSupp
   defined in RFC3108 [10].

   Scenario:
   1. A SIP INVITE is sent to the called party requesting a voice
   connection per RFC3261; our scenario involves 1 SIP proxy.  An audio
   connection is established,
   2. Upon detection of Preamble by the terminating gateway, a SIP
   re¡INVITE request is sent to the emitting gateway to modify the
   parameters of the session to allow a T.38 fax connection.  This re-
   INVITE request contains SDP information detailing T.38 capabilities,
   3. The emitting gateway rejects the re-INVITE with a 488 or 606
   response.  Upon reception of the reject, the terminating gateway
   proposes to use plain G.711 to carry the fax stream.
   4. The call is terminated.

8. Considerations

   In this temporary section, we log the open items for discussion as
   well as issues that have been solved on the mailing list:

8.1. Level of requirements for Internet gateways
   --- Status: closed, solved by old draft01 text in section 4.2
   Based on the comments received on old draft-00, the authors
   recommend that:  T.38 Internet fax gateways MUST trigger a SIP re-
   INVITE upon detection of the V.21 Preamble flag sequence on the
   receiving side.   Emitting gateways MAY trigger session modification
   upon CNG.

8.2. Negotiation of UDP ports for T.38 transmission
   --- Status: not an issue, just logged here
   When switching to T.38 mode, Internet fax gateways specify a new set
   of parameters for the media connection in SDP.  Some gateways may
   choose the UDP/RTP port used in audio mode for UDP/UDPTL/T.38
   traffic.  Some gateways may choose to open a new UDP port for
   UDPTL/T.38 fax (and keep the previous UDP/RTP port open for the
   switch back to audio).
   SDP provides the mechanism to precisely define in SIP all cases:
   - if an Internet Fax gateway desires to re-use the UDP/RTP port for
   UDP/UDPTL/T.38, put 1 ææm=ÆÆ line in the re-INVITE.
          m=image <original_RTP_port> udptl t38
   - if an Internet Fax gateway desires to release the RTP port and
   open a new UDP port for T.38:
          m=image <new_UDP_port> udptl t38
   - if an Internet Fax gateway desires to keep the RTP port for future
   use in the session and open a new UDP port for T.38, we need to
   repeat the RTP/AVP port:
          m=audio <original_RTP_port> RTP/AVP 0
          m=image <new_UDP_port> udptl t38

8.3. Adding a fax stream to SIP session vs. Replacing audio stream
   --- Status: closed, see flows 5.2 and 5.3
   Based on the mailing list discussion, it is recommended in section
   5.2 to replace an existing audio media connection with a fax one.
   We however kept section 5.3 to illustrate what adding a fax stream
   would entail.

8.4. Adding text to make use of SIP OPTIONS: in progress in draft-02
   --- Status: Open for discussion
   As discussed with Bill Sulzen, the SIP OPTIONS response could be
   used to assert that real-time fax communications using either T.38
   or fax-passthrough are supported.  This could certainly improve the
   negotiation phases and reduce the number of SIP messages.  It is
   also key to get the capabilities of the Internet-aware fax device or
   gateway other than on a per call basis.
   What needs to be added:

                         SIP T.38 Call Flows            February 2003


       - add text in sub-section in section 4.5
       - specify how the Accept header line should be populated (do we
   want to specify t.38 and/or fax pass-through (meaning ability to
   support silencesuppression), and within t.38, do we want to specify
   whether it is t.38 over tcp, udptl, both, etc.

8.5. Use of IP addresses in SDP connection information
   --- Status: Closed, remains unchanged per sipping call flow ID
   Comment from Christer Holmberg: SDP connection information should
   use IP addresses instead of domain names (as per draft-ietf-mmusic-
   sdp-new-03)

8.6. Unsuccessful scenario: 606 or 488
   --- Status: Closed
   Comment from Bill Sulzen: it is acceptable or even preferable to
   reject with a 488 Not Acceptable Media?
   Resolution: treat 606 and 488 as equally appropriate.

8.7. SIP re-INVITE or UPDATE?
   --- Status: open with the following recommendation
   In most cases, the SIP dialog is established when the codec changes
   occur so the use of UPDATE is not required. Also the re-INVITE is
   more standard so we propose to use re-INVITE.

9. Security Considerations

   This document contains examples of SIP session establishment of
   particular media types. The security considerations in RFC 3261 [3]
   apply. There is no known additional security threats because of the
   nature of the media descriptors exchanged in these call flows.

   RFC 3261 describes the basic threats including server impersonation,
   message body tampering, session modifying or teardown, and denial of
   service and amplification attacks.
   The use of TLS and the Secure SIP (sips) URI scheme provides a
   better level of security including two-way authentication. IPsec can
   also improve security.
   S/MIME can provide end-to-end confidentiality and integrity
   protection of message bodies, as described in RFC 3261.
