Registration Event Package Extension for
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Globally Routable User Agent URIs (GRUUs)
Abstract
RFC 3680 defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event package
for registration state. This package allows a watcher to learn about
information stored by a SIP registrar, including its registered
contact.
However, the registered contact is frequently unreachable and thus
not useful for watchers. The Globally Routable User Agent URI
(GRUU), defined in RFC 5627, is a URI that is capable of reaching a
particular contact. However this URI is not included in the document
format defined in RFC 3680. This specification defines an extension
to the registration event package to include GRUUs assigned by the
registrar.

RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
1. Introduction
RFC 3680 [2] defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [5] event
package for registration state. This package allows a watcher to
learn about information stored by a SIP registrar, including the
registered contacts.
However, a registered contact is frequently unreachable from hosts
outside of the domain of the User Agent (UA). It is commonly a
private address, or, when it is a public address, access to it may be
blocked by firewalls.
The Globally Routable User Agent URI (GRUU), defined in RFC 5627 [3],
is a URI that reaches a particular UA instance, but is reachable by
any host on the Internet. GRUUs assigned by the registrar represent
additional registration state. However, GRUUs assigned by the
registrar are not included in the notifications provided by RFC 3680.
For many applications of the registration event package, a GRUU is
needed, and not the registered contact.
For example, the Welcome Notices example in [2] will only operate
correctly if the contact address in the registration event
notification is reachable by the sender of the welcome notice. When
the registering device is using the GRUU extension, it is likely that
the registered contact address will not be globally addressable, and
a GRUU should be used as the target address for the MESSAGE.
Another case where this feature may be helpful is within the Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
IMS employs a technique where a REGISTER of a contact address to one
Address of Record (AOR) causes the implicit registration of the same
contact to other associated AORs. If GRUUs are requested and
obtained as part of the registration request, then additional GRUUs
will also be needed for the implicit registrations. While assigning
the additional GRUUs is straightforward, informing the registering UA
of them is not. In IMS, UAs typically subscribe to the registration
event, and subscriptions to the registration event for an AOR result
in notifications, each containing the registration state of all the
associated AORs. The proposed extension provides a way to easily
deliver the GRUUs for the associated AORs.
As specified in RFC 5627 [3], temporary GRUUs are invalidated when
contact address bindings for the corresponding AOR and instance ID
are not refreshed, or when a registration to the AOR and instance ID
is performed with a new Call-ID. A UA cannot always determine with
certainty which temporary GRUUs are valid based solely on the
response to the REGISTER requests it has issued, or from
Kyzivat Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
notifications according to RFC 3680 [2]. The extension defined in
this document provides sufficient information for a UA to determine
which temporary GRUUs are valid.
The registration event package has provisions for including extension
elements within the <contact> element. This document defines new
elements that may be used in that context to deliver the public and
temporary GRUUs corresponding to the contact.
2. 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. [1]
3. Description
Two new elements (<pub-gruu> and <temp-gruu>) are defined, each of
which contains a GRUU. The <temp-gruu> element also identifies the
oldest temporary GRUU that is currently valid.
These optional elements may be included within the body of a NOTIFY
for the registration event package when GRUUs are associated with the
contact. The contact URI and the GRUUs are then all available to the
watcher.
4. Notifier Processing of SUBSCRIBE Requests
Unchanged from RFC 3680 [2].
5. Notifier Generation of NOTIFY Requests
A notifier for the registration event package [2] SHOULD include the
<pub-gruu> element when a contact has an instance ID and a public
GRUU is associated with the combination of the AOR and the instance
ID. When present, the <pub-gruu> element MUST be positioned as a
child of the <contact> element.
A notifier for the registration event package [2] MAY include the
<temp-gruu> element when a contact has an instance ID and a temporary
GRUU is associated with the combination of the AOR and the instance
ID. This element SHOULD be included if the subscriber is also
authorized to register to the AOR. This element SHOULD NOT be
included if the subscriber is not authorized to register to the AOR,
unless there is an explicitly configured policy directing that it be
included. When present, the <temp-gruu> element MUST be positioned
as a child of the <contact> element.
Kyzivat Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
Note that it is possible for multiple registered contacts to share
the same instance ID. In such a case, each <contact> element will
have child <pub-gruu> and <temp-gruu> elements, which are identical
to the corresponding child elements in those other <contact> elements
that share the same instance ID. Since a particular contact cannot
be associated with more than one instance ID, a <contact> element
will never have more than one <pub-gruu> and one <temp-gruu> child
element.
If the notifier includes the <pub-gruu> element, it MUST populate the
element with the public GRUU that is associated with the instance ID
and AOR of the registered contact.
If the notifier includes the <temp-gruu> element, it MUST populate
the element with the most recently assigned temporary GRUU that is
associated with the instance ID and AOR of the registered contact.
It MUST also populate the element with a "cseq" attribute
corresponding to the first (oldest) currently active temporary GRUU
that is associated with the instance ID and AOR of the registered
contact. The value of the "cseq" attribute is set to the value of
the CSeq header field of the REGISTER request that caused that first
temporary GRUU to be assigned.
6. Subscriber Processing of NOTIFY Requests
When a subscriber receives a registration event notification with a
<contact> containing a <pub-gruu>, it MAY associate the public GRUU
with the corresponding AOR and instance ID. Any previously received
public GRUU for the same AOR and instance ID MUST be discarded. (It
will no longer function.)
When a subscriber receives a registration event notification with a
<contact> containing a <temp-gruu>, it MAY associate the temporary
GRUU, together with the "callid" and "cseq" attributes, with the
corresponding AOR and instance ID.
Subscribers that are unaware of this extension will, as required by
[2], ignore the <pub-gruu> and <temp-gruu> elements.
6.1. Managing Temporary GRUU Lifetime
Section 4.2 of RFC 5627 [3] gives guidance for developers of UAs on
how to ensure that only valid temporary GRUUs are retained and used
by the UA. A UA cannot always determine with certainty which
temporary GRUUs are valid based solely on the information contained
in responses to the REGISTER requests it has issued or from the
information contained in notifications that conform solely to RFC
3680 [2]. The extension defined in this document provides sufficient
Kyzivat Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
added information for a UA to determine which temporary GRUUs are
valid. The extension to RFC 3680 defined in this document provides
added information to help with that process. The following are steps
that the UA MAY take to ensure it only retains valid GRUUs:
o The UA should subscribe to the registration event package for the
AOR it is registering.
o When a UA receives a 2xx response to a REGISTER request, it may
extract and retain temporary GRUUs from the response for future
use, as long as they remain valid. Appropriate GRUUs to retain
are those corresponding to the contact address and instance ID it
has registered. (Typically, the UA will register only one contact
address, and so receive at most one temporary GRUU.)
o The UA may add the temporary GRUU to the set of valid temporary
GRUUs associated with the AOR. (Note, in this case AOR is the
To-address of the REGISTER request.) To aid in tracking validity,
the UA should also associate a "callid" attribute and "cseq"
attribute with the temporary GRUU, with values obtained
respectively from the Call-ID and CSeq values of the REGISTER
response containing the temporary GRUU.
o If the UA receives a registration event notification with an AOR
(that it supports) and a <contact>, for a contact address and
instance ID (that it has registered and that contains a <temp-
gruu>), it may update its set of valid temporary GRUUs associated
with the AOR, as follows:
* It may add the temporary GRUU to the set. To aid in tracking
validity, the UA should associate the "callid" and "cseq"
attributes of the <contact> with the GRUU in the set.
* It should remove any temporary GRUUs with a "callid" attribute
value different from that in the value of the "callid"
attribute of the <contact>, or with a "cseq" attribute with
value less than the value of the "first-cseq" attribute of the
<temp-gruu>.
o If the UA receives a registration event notification with an AOR
that it supports, and there are no <contact> entries for its
instance ID, then it should discard all the temporary GRUUs it has
saved for that AOR.

7. Sample reginfo Document
Note: This example and others in the following section are
indented for readability by the addition of a fixed amount of
whitespace to the beginning of each line. This whitespace is not
part of the example. The conventions of [7] are used to describe
representation of long message lines.
The following is an example registration information document that
includes the new element:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<reginfo xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:reginfo"
xmlns:gr="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:gruuinfo"
version="0" state="full">
<registration aor="sip:user@example.com" id="as9"
state="active">
<contact id="76" state="active" event="registered"
duration-registered="36001" expires="3599"
callid="1j9FpLxk3uxtm8tn@192.0.2.1" cseq="54321"
q="0.8">
<uri>sip:user@192.0.2.1</uri>
<allOneLine>
<unknown-param name="+sip.instance">

</unknown-param>
</allOneLine>
<allOneLine>

</allOneLine>
</contact>
</registration>
</reginfo>
8. Examples
Note: In the following examples, the SIP messages have been
simplified, removing headers that are not pertinent to the example.
When the value of the Content-Length header field is "...", this
means that the value should be the computed length of the body.

RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
8.1. Example: Welcome Notice
Consider the Welcome Notices example in [2]. When the application
server receives a notification of a new registration containing the
reginfo shown in Section 7, it should address messages using the
contained public GRUU as follows:
MESSAGE sip:user@example.com;gr=hha9s8d-999a SIP/2.0
To: <sip:user@example.com>
From: "SIPland Notifier" <sip:notifier@example.com>;tag=7xy8
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: ...
Welcome to SIPland!
Blah, blah, blah.
8.2. Example: Implicit Registration
In a 3GPP IMS setting, a UA may send a single register message,
requesting assignment of GRUUs, as follows:
REGISTER sip:example.net SIP/2.0
From: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>;tag=5ab4
To: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>
Call-ID: faif9a@ua.example.com
CSeq: 23001 REGISTER
Contact: <sip:ua.example.com>
;expires=3600
;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6>"
Supported: path, gruu
Content-Length: 0
The response reports success of the registration and returns the
GRUUs assigned for the combination of AOR, instance ID, and Contact.
It also indicates (via the P-Associated-URI header [6]) that there
are two other associated AORs that may have been implicitly
registered using the same contact. Each of those implicitly
registered AORs will have unique GRUUs assigned. The REGISTER
response will not include those GRUUs; it will only include the GRUUs
for the AOR and instance ID explicitly included in the registration.
SIP/2.0 200 OK
From: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>;tag=5ab4
To: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>;tag=373392
Call-ID: faif9a@ua.example.com
CSeq: 23001 REGISTER
Path: <sip:proxy.example.net;lr>
Service-Route: <sip:proxy.example.net;lr>
Kyzivat Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 5628 Reg Event GRUU Extension October 2009
Contact: <sip:ua.example.com>
;expires=3600
;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6>"
;pub-gruu="sip:user_aor_1@example.net;gr=hha9s8d-999a"
;temp-gruu="sip:8ffkas08af7fasklzi9@example.net;gr"
P-Associated-URI: <sip:user_aor_2@example.net>,
<sip:+358504821437@example.net;user=phone>
Content-Length: 0
The UA then subscribes to the registration event package as follows:
SUBSCRIBE sip:user_aor_1@example.net SIP/2.0
From: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>;tag=27182
To: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>
Call-ID: gbjg0b@ua.example.com
CSeq: 45001 SUBSCRIBE
Route: <sip:proxy.example.net;lr>
Event: reg
Expires: 3600
Accept: application/reginfo+xml
Contact: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net;gr=hha9s8d-999a>
Content-Length: 0
(The successful response to the subscription is not shown.) Once the
subscription is established, an initial notification is sent giving
registration status. In IMS deployments, the response includes, in
addition to the status for the requested URI, the status for the
other associated URIs.
NOTIFY sip:user_aor_1@example.net;gr=hha9s8d-999a SIP/2.0
From: <sip:user_aor_1@example.net>;tag=27182

The status indicates that the associated URIs all have the same
contact registered. It also includes the unique GRUUs that have been
assigned to each. The UA may then retain those GRUUs for use when
establishing dialogs using the corresponding AORs.
9. XML Schema Definition
The <pub-gruu> and <temp-gruu> elements are defined within a new XML
namespace URI. This namespace is "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:gruuinfo".
The schema for these elements is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:gruuinfo"

The XML for this schema can be found in Section 9.
11. Security Considerations
Security considerations for the registration event package are
discussed in RFC 3680 [2], and those considerations apply here.
If a contact address obtained via subscription to the registration
event package is not reachable by the subscriber, then its disclosure
may arguably be considered a minimal security risk. In that case,
the inclusion of a GRUU may be considered to increase the risk by
providing a reachable address. On the other hand, requests addressed
to a GRUU are always first processed by the servicing proxy before
they reach the intended User Agent. The proxy may control access as
desired, just as it may for the AOR. For instance, the proxy
servicing a GRUU may accept requests from senders whose identity
appears on a white list, and reject other requests. In this respect,
disclosing a GRUU presents no more risk than disclosing the AOR.
Temporary GRUUs have an additional security consideration. The
intent of the temporary GRUU is to provide a contact address that
cannot be correlated to the identity of the calling party. The
recipient of a call using a temporary GRUU may guess the identity of
the calling party and then attempt to obtain the temporary GRUUs
assigned to that caller to confirm the conjecture. Two possible
approaches to obtaining the temporary GRUUs are:
o Send a REGISTER request to a conjectured caller.
o Send a SUBSCRIBE request for the registration event package to the
conjectured caller.
Typically, REGISTER is restricted to devices or users that are
authorized to originate and receive calls with the AOR. Anonymity
among users of the same AOR is hard to achieve and typically
unnecessary. It is recommended (see Section 5) that the
authorization policy for the registration event package permit only
those subscribers who are authorized to register to the AOR to
