RFC 7315 Updates
draft-holmberg-dispatch-rfc7315-updates-01
The 3rd-Generation Partnership Project 3GPP has identified cases where different SIP private header extensions referred to as P- header fields, defined in RFC 7315, need to be included in SIP requests and responses currently not allowed according to RFC 7315. This document updates RFC 7315, in order to allow inclusion of the affected P- header fields in such requests and responses.
In order to get a complete picture, this document also contains a set of errata that are to be filed against RFC 7315, in order to fix misalignments that occurred when RFC 3455 was updated and obsoleted by RFC 7315.
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on June 10, 2016.

The 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has identified cases where different Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] private header extensions referred to as P- header fields, defined in RFC 7315 [RFC7315], need to be included in SIP requests and responses currently not allowed according to RFC 7315. This document updates RFC 7315, in order to allow inclusion of the affected P- header fields in such requests and responses.
In order to get a complete picture, this document also contains a set of errata that are to be filed against RFC 7315, in order to fix misalignments that occurred when RFC 3455 [RFC3455] was updated and obsoleted by RFC 7315.
This document updates RFC 7315 [RFC7315], by allowing the insertion of the P-Access-Network-Info header field in SIP ACK requests.
As the P- header fields are mainly used in (and in most cases, only defined for) networks defined by the 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), where the updates defined in this document are already defined [TS.3GPP.24.229], the updates are not seen to cause backward compatibility concerns.
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 [RFC2119].
RFC 7315 contains contradicting statements regarding the usage of SIP P- header fields in SIP requests and responses, which leave the presence of the SIP P- header fields in the SIP requests and responses open to interpretation, and different implementations. Statements in section 5.7 are not aligned with the definitions and usage of the SIP P- header fields specified in section 4.
This section defines the errata that is to be submitted against RFC 7315. The scope of the errata is only alignment between RFC 3455 and RFC 7315.
NOTE: In the case of the P-Called-Party-ID header field, allowing it in PUBLISH requests was deliberately done in RFC 7315. It will therefore not be impacted by the errata.
The errata makes the following changes:
Old text:
5.7. New Headers
The P-Associated-URI header field can appear in SIP REGISTER method
and 2xx resonses. The P-Called-Party-ID header field can appear in
SIP INVITE, OPTIONS, PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE, and MESSAGE methods and all
responses. The P-Visited-Network-ID header field can appear in all
SIP methods except ACK, BYE, and CANCEL and all responses. The
P-Access-Network-Info header field can appear in all SIP methods
except ACK and CANCEL. The P-Charging-Vector header field can appear
in all SIP methods except CANCEL. The P-Charging-Function-Addresses
header field can appear in all SIP methods except ACK and CANCEL.
New text:
5.7. New Headers
The P-Associated-URI header field can appear in SIP REGISTER
2xx responses. The P-Called-Party-ID header field can appear in
SIP INVITE, OPTIONS, PUBLISH, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, and MESSAGE methods.
The P-Visited-Network-ID header field can appear in all SIP methods
except ACK, BYE, CANCEL, NOTIFY, PRACK, INFO and UPDATE. The
P-Access-Network-Info header field can appear in all SIP methods
and responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods and CANCEL responses.
The P-Charging-Vector header field can appear in all SIP methods and
responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods and CANCEL responses.
The P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field can appear in all
SIP methods and responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods and
CANCEL responses.
This section updates section 5.7 of RFC 7315.
Note that the old text incorporates the fixes done by the errata described above.
The following updates are done:

The P-Charging-Vector header field can appear in all SIP methods and
responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods and CANCEL responses.
The P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field can appear in all
SIP methods and responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods and
CANCEL responses.

The P-Charging-Vector header field can appear in all SIP methods and

P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field can appear in all
SIP methods and responses, except in ACK and CANCEL methods
and CANCEL responses.
The security considerations for the P-Access-Network-Info header field are defined in [RFC7315]. The update defined in this document does not impact the security considerations.
This document makes no requests from IANA.
