1. Introduction
The deployment of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based
infrastructure in enterprise and service provider communication
networks is increasing at a rapid pace. Consequently, direct IP
peering between enterprise and service provider networks is quickly
replacing traditional methods of interconnection between enterprise
and service provider networks.
Currently published standards provide a strong foundation over which
direct IP peering can be realized. However, given the sheer number
of these standards, it is often not clear which behavioral subsets,
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
extensions to baseline protocols and operating principles ought to be
implemented by service provider and enterprise networks to ensure
successful peering.
The SIP Connect technical recommendations aim to solve this problem
by providing a master reference that promotes seamless peering
between enterprise and service provider SIP networks. However,
despite the extensive set of implementation rules and operating
guidelines, interoperability issues between service provider and
enterprise networks persist. This is in large part because service
providers and equipment manufacturers aren't required to enforce the
guidelines of the technical specifications and have a fair degree of
freedom to deviate from them. Consequently, enterprise
administrators usually undertake a fairly rigorous regimen of
testing, analysis and troubleshooting to arrive at a configuration
block that ensures seamless service provider peering.
Another set of interoperability problems arise when enterprise
administrators are required to translate a set of technical
recommendations from service providers to configuration blocks across
one or more devices in the enterprise, which is usually an error
prone exercise. Additionally, such technical recommendations might
not be nuanced enough to intuitively allow the generation of specific
configuration blocks.
This draft introduces a mechanism using which an enterprise network
can solicit a detailed capability set from a SIP service provider;
the detailed capability set can subsequently be used by automaton or
an administrator to generate configuration blocks across one or more
devices within the enterprise to ensure successful service provider
peering.
2. Conventions and Terminology
The The keywords "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]
3. Reference Architecture
Figure 1 illustrates a reference architecture that may be deployed to
support the mechanism described in this document. The enterprise
network consists of a SIP-PBX, media endpoints and a Session Border
Controller. It may also include additional components such as
application servers for voicemail, recording, fax etc. At a high
level, the service provider consists of a SIP signaling entity (SP-
SSE), a media entity and a HTTP(S) server.

Figure 1: Reference Architecture
This draft makes use of the following terminology:
o Enterprise Network: A communications network infrastructure
deployed by an enterprise which interconnects with the service
provider network over SIP. The enterprise network could include
devices such as application servers, endpoints, call agents and
edge devices among others.
o Edge Device: A device that is the last hop in the enterprise
network and that is the transit point for traffic entering and
leaving the enterprise. An edge device is typically a back-to-
back user agent (B2BUA) such as a Session Border Controller (SBC).
o Service Provider Network: A communications network infrastructure
deployed by service providers. In the context of this draft, the
service provider network is accessible over SIP for the
establishment, modification and termination of calls and
accessible over HTTP(S) for the transfer of the capability set
document. The service provider network is also referred to as a
SIP Service Provider (SSP) or Internet Telephony Service Provider
(ITSP) network. These networks typically interconnect with other
service provider networks over SIP or ISDN.
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
o Call Control: Call Control within a telephony networks refers to
software that is responsible for delivering its core
functionality. Call control not only provides the basic
functionality of setting up, sustaining and terminating calls, but
also provides the necessary control and logic required for
additional services within the telephony network.
o Capability Server: A server hosted in the service provider
network, such that this server is the target for capability set
document requests from the enterprise network.
o Capability Set: This specification uses the term capability set
(or capability set document) to refer collectively to a set of
characteristics within the service provider network, which when
communicated to the enterprise network allows it to obtain
sufficient information required to peer successfully with the
service provider network.
4. Configuration Workflow
A workflow that facilitates an enterprise network to solicit the
capability set of a SIP service provider ought to take into account
the following considerations:
o The configuration workflow must be based on a protocol or a set of
protocols commonly used between enterprise and service provider
telephony networks.
o The configuration workflow must be flexible enough to allow the
service provider network to dynamically offload different
capability sets to different enterprise networks based on the
identity of the enterprise network.
o Capability set documents obtained as a result of the configuration
workflow must be conducive to easy parsing by automaton.
Subsequently, automaton may be used for generation of appropriate
configuration blocks.
Taking the above considerations into account, this document proposes
a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)-based workflow using which the
enterprise network can solicit and ultimately obtain the service
provider capability set. The enterprise network creates a well
formed HTTPS GET request to solicit the service provider capability
set. Subsequently, the HTTPS response from the SIP service provider
includes the capability set. The capability set is encoded in either
XML or JSON, thus ensuring that the response can be easily parsed by
automaton.
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
There are alternative mechanisms using which the SIP service provider
can offload its capability set. For example, the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) can be extended to define a new event package
[RFC6665], such that the enterprise network can establish a SIP
subscription with the service provider for its capability set; the
SIP service provider can subsequently use the SIP NOTIFY request to
communicate its capability set or any state deltas to its baseline
capability set. This mechanism is likely to result in a significant
amount of operational complexity. For example, not only would this
workflow require enterprise and service provider equipment
manufacturers to upgrade their software stacks, but it would also
create a significant amount of ambiguity in terms of which device in
the service provider network handles subscriptions and generates
notifications. Yet another example of an alternative mechanism would
be for service providers and enterprise equipment manufacturers to
agree on YANG models [RFC6020] that enable configuration to be pushed
over NETCONF [RFC6241] to enterprise networks from a centralized
source hosted in service provider networks. The presence of
proprietary software logic for call and media handling in enterprise
devices would preclude the generation of a "one-size-fits-all" YANG
model. Additionally, service provider networks pushing configuration
to enterprises devices might lead to the loss of implementation
autonomy on the part of the enterprise network.
5. Overview of Operations
To solicit the capability set of the SIP service provider, the edge
element in the enterprise network generates a well-formed HTTPS GET
request. There are two reasons why it makes sense for the enterprise
edge element to generate the HTTPs request:
1. Edge elements are devices that normalize any mismatches between
the enterprise and service provider networks in the media and
signaling planes. As a result, when the capability set is
received from the SIP service provider network, the edge element
can generate appropriate configuration blocks (possibly across
multiple devices) to enable smooth IP peering.
2. Given that edge elements are configured to "talk" to networks
external to the enterprise, the complexity in terms of NAT
traversal and firewall configuration would be minimal.
The HTTPs GET request is targeted at a capability server that is
managed by the SIP service provider such that this server processes,
and on successfully processing the request, includes the capability
set document in the response. The capability set document is
constructed according the guidelines of the YANG model described in
this draft. The capability set document included in a successful
response is formatted in either XML or JSON. The formatting depends
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
on the value of the "Accept" header field of the HTTP GET request.
More details about the formatting of the HTTP request and response
are provided in Section 6
Figure 1 provides a reference architecture in which this workflow may
be implemented. The architecture depicted in Figure 1 consists of an
enterprise telephony network and a SIP service provider network, such
that the enterprise network attempts to provision SIP trunking
services for the first time. For the sake of simplicity, the
enterprise and service provider networks are decomposed into their
core constituent elements.
6. HTTP Transport
This section describes the use of HTTP as a transport protocol for
the peering workflow. This workflow is based on HTTP version 1.1
6.1. HTTP Methods
The workflow defined in this document leverages the HTTP GET method
and its corresponding response(s) to request for and subsequently
obtain the service provider capability set document. The HTTP POST
method and its corresponding response(s) is also used for client
authentication.
To ensure the smooth operation of this workflow, this draft enforces
certain controls (not to be confused with HTTP controls as defined in
[RFC7231] on the HTTP client and server. These controls as they
relate to formatting, operational guidelines, security concerns and
more, are detailed in subsequent sections of this draft.
6.2. Integrity and Confidentiality
Peering requests and responses are defined over HTTP. However, due
to the sensitive nature of information transmitted between client and
server, it is required to secure HTTP using Transport Layer Security.
The enterprise edge element and capability server MUST be compliant
to [RFC7235]. The enterprise edge element and capability server MUST
support the use of the https uri scheme as defined in [RFC7230].
6.3. Authenticated Client Identity
The configuration workflow and corresponding YANG model described in
this draft allow for smooth IP peering between enterprise and SIP
service provider networks by encoding the essential session and media
characteristics. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to encode information that is
sensitive in nature. It is only required for the client (enterprise
edge element) to authenticate the SIP service provider. If however,
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
there is a need for the SIP service provider to authenticate the
enterprise edge element, client authentication mechanisms based on
OAuth 2.0 token are RECOMMENDED. The specifics of how the client
obtains such tokens is outside the scope of this draft. Section 11
provides an example of how clients may be authenticated using OAuth
2.0 tokens.
6.4. Encoding the Request
The edge element in the enterprise network generates a HTTPS GET
request such that the request-target is obtained using the procedure
outlined in section 6.6 The MIME types for the capability set
document defined in this draft are "application/peering-info+json"
and "application/peering-info+xml". Accordingly, the Accept header
field value MUST be restricted only to these MIME types. It is
possible that the edge element supports responses formatted in both
JSON and XML. In such situations, the edge element might generate a
HTTPS GET request such that the Accept header field includes both
MIME types along with the corresponding "qvalue" for each MIME type.
For implementations that require client authentication, the bearer
access token acquired by the client (see section 6.3) MUST be
presented to the capability server to the obtain the capability set
document. The bearer token is presented in the "Authorization"
header field of the GET request as specified in Section 2.1 of
[RFC6750].
The generated HTTPS GET request MUST NOT use the "Expect" and "Range"
header fields. The requests also MUST NOT use any conditional
request.
6.5. Generating the Response
Capability servers include the capability set documents in the body
of a successful response. Capability set documents MUST be formatted
in XML or JSON. For requests that are incorrectly formatted, the
capability server SHOULD generate a "400 Bad Request" response. If
the client (enterprise edge element) includes any other MIME types in
Accept header field other than "application/peering-info+json" or
"application/peering-info+xml", the capability set MUST reject the
request with a "406 Not Acceptable" response.
The capability server can respond to client requests with redirect
responses, specifically, the server can respond with the following
redirect responses:
1. 301 Moved Temporarily
2. 302 Found
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
3. 307 Temporary Redirect
The server SHOULD include the Location header field in such
responses.
For requests that carry an invalid bearer token in the Authorization
header field, the capability server SHOULD respond with a HTTP 401
status code.
6.6. Identifying the Request Target
HTTPS GET requests from enterprise edge elements MUST carry a valid
request-target. The enterprise edge element might obtain the URL of
the resource hosted on the capability server in one of two ways:
1. Manual Configuration
2. Using the WebFinger Protocol
The complete HTTPS URLs to be used when authenticating the enterprise
edge element (optional) and obtaining the SIP service provider
capability set can be obtained from the SIP service provider
beforehand and entered into the edge element manually via some
interface - for example, a CLI or GUI.
However, if the resource URL is unknown to the administrator (and by
extension of that to the edge element), the WebFinger protocol
[RFC7033] may be leveraged. From the perspective of this draft,
three link relation types (rel) are defined, namely:
1. Capability Server: The base URL of the capability server hosting
the capability set document.
2. Authorization Endpoint: The URL of the authorization endpoint to
be used for OAuth 2.0
3. Token Endpoint: The URL of the token endpoint to be used for
OAuth 2.0
The corresponding link relation type values are as follows:
1. Capability Server: "<http://sipserviceprovider/capserver">
2. Authorization Endpoint: "<http://sipserviceprovider/auth">
3. Token Endpoint: "<http://sipserviceprovider/token">
If an enterprise edge element attempts to discover the URL of the
endpoints hosted in the ssp1.example.com domain, it issues the
following request (line wraps are for display purposes only)
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 9]

GET /.well-known/webfinger?

&rel=http%3A%2f%2fsipserviceprovider%2auth
&rel= http%3A%2f%2fsipserviceprovider%2token
HTTP/1.1
Host: ssp1.example.com
The response to the above request might be as follows:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Type: application/jrd+json
{
"subject" : "http://ssp1.example.com",
"links" :
[
{
"rel" : "http://sipserviceprovider/capserver",
"href" : "https://capserver.ssp1.com"
},
{
"rel" : "http://sipserviceprovider/auth",
"href" : "https://ssp1.com/authorize"
},
{
"rel" : "http://sipserviceprovider/token",
"href" : "https://ssp1.com/token"
}
]
}
SIP service providers MUST support the "https" URI and "acct" URI
[link] schemes in WebFinger queries. The "acct" URI scheme might be
used in the WebFinger query, if the enterprise adminsitrator is
provided with a username by the SIP service provider. The SIP
service provider might provide a unique username for each SIP trunk
purchased by the enterprise network or a single username that is
applicable to all the trunks purchased by the enterprise network.
This draft does not require SIP service providers or enterprise
networks to favor one URI scheme over the other; rather, the choice
of which scheme to use is left to the discretion of the SIP service
provider. The security considerations of using the "acct" URI is
provided in section 5 of [RFC7565].
The base URL of the capability server returned in the WebFinger
response SHOULD not contain a path or query component. Once the base
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
URL is obtained, the enterprise edge element builds on the base URL
to identify the capability set document on the capability server.
The general format for identifying resources on a capability server
is as follows:
<scheme> /<baseURL>/<path>?<query>
scheme: Is always HTTPS in the context of this draft.
baseURL: The base URL of the capability server discovered as a result
of the WebFinger query.
path: The path expression identifying the capability set document on
the capability server. The path expression MUST be set to the static
string of "capdoc".
query: A query string identifying a specific representation of the
capability set document. The format of the query string is in the
form of a "name=value" pair. This draft defines the following
optional query parameter:
trunkid: A parameter uniquely identifying the SIP trunk for which the
capability set document is sought.
The "trunkid" is useful in situations in which an enterprise SIP
network has multiple SIP trunks with the SIP service provider, such
that parameters for such trunks vary, perhaps because of the
geographical distribution of these sites. The value of the "trunkid"
parameter is generated by the SIP service provider and communicated
to the enterprise SIP network by some out-of-band mechanism, for
example, it may be provided in an email to the enterprise
administrator after the trunk is purchased. It is RECOMMENDED that
SIP service providers generate unique trunk identifiers across
enterprise networks.
It is RECOMMENDED that SIP service provider networks support the
"trunkid" query parameter. SIP service providers expose varying
capability sets to different enterprise SIP telephony networks.
Using the "trunkid" query parameter not only helps the SIP service
provider capability server to uniquely identify the trunk/enterprise/
edge element for which the capability set document is being request,
but also, it is helpful in generating unique URL strings for
capability set documents. These unique URL strings are helpful in
HTTP content caching.

7. State Deltas
Given that the service provider capability set is largely expected to
remain static, the work needed to implement an asynchronous push
mechanism to encode minor changes in the capability set document
(state deltas) is not commensurate with the benefits. Rather,
enterprise edge elements can poll capability servers at pre-defined
intervals to obtain the full capability set document. It is
RECOMMENDED that capability servers are polled every 24 hours.
8. Encoding the Service Provider Capability Set
In the context of this draft, the capability set of a service
provider refers collectively to a set of characteristics which when
communicated to an enterprise network, provides it with sufficient
information to directly peer with the service provider network. The
capability set document is not designed to encode extremely granular
details of all features, services, and protocol extensions that are
supported by the service provider network. For example, it is
sufficient to encode that the service provider uses T.38 relay for
faxing, it is not required to know the value of the
"T38FaxFillBitRemoval" parameter.
The parameters within the capability set document represent a wide
array of characteristics, such that these characteristics
collectively disseminate sufficient information to enable direct IP
peering between enterprise and service provider networks. The
various parameters represented in the capability set are chosen based
on existing practises and common problem sets typically seen between
enterprise and service provider SIP networks.
9. Data Model for Capability Set
This section defines a YANG module for encoding the service provider
capability set. Section 9.1 provides the tree diagram, which is
followed by a description of the various nodes within the module
defined in this draft.
9.1. Tree Diagram
This section provides a tree diagram [RFC8340] for the "ietf-
capability-set" module. The interpretation of the symbols appearing
in the tree diagram is as follows:
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only).
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
The data model for the peering capability document has the following

9.3. Node Definitions
This sub-sections provides the definition and encoding rules of the
various nodes of the YANG module defined in section 9.2
o *capability-set*: This node serves as a container for all the
other nodes in the YANG module; the capability-set node is akin to
the root element of an XML schema.
o *variant*: This node identifies the version number of the
capability set document. This draft defines the parameters for
variant 1.0; future specifications might define a richer parameter
set, in which case the variant can be changed to 2.0, 3.0 and so
on. Future extensions to the capability set document MUST also
ensure that the corresponding YANG module is defined.
o *transport-info*: The transport-info node is a container that
encapsulates transport characteristics of SIP sessions between
enterprise and service provider networks.
o *transport*: A leaf node that enumerates the different Transport
Layer protocols supported by the SIP service provider. Valid
transport layer protocols include: UDP, TCP, TLS or a combination
of them (with the exception of TLS and UDP).
o *registrar*: A leaf-list that specifies the transport address of
one or more registrar servers in the service provider network.
The transport address of the registrar can be provided using a
combination of a valid IP address and port number, or a subdomain
of the SIP service provider network, or the fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) of the SIP service provider network. If the transport
address of a registrar is specified using either a subdomain or a
fully qualified domain name, the DNS element needs to be populated
with one or more valid DNS server IP addresses.
o *callControl*: A leaf-list that specifies the transport address of
the call server(s) in the service provider network. The
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
enterprise network MUST use an applicable transport protocol in
conjunction with the call control server(s) transport address when
transmitting call setup requests. The transport address of a call
server(s) within the service provider network can be specified
using a combination of a valid IP address and port number, or a
subdomain of the SIP service provider network, or a fully
qualified domain name of the SIP service provider network. If the
transport address of a call control server(s) is specified using
either a subdomain or a fully qualified domain name, the DNS
element MUST be populated with one or more valid DNS server IP
addresses. The transport address specified in this element can
also serve as the target for non-call requests such as SIP
OPTIONS.
o *dns*: A leaf list that encodes the IP address of one or more DNS
servers hosted by the SIP service provider. If the enterprise
network is unaware of the IP address, port number, and transport
protocol of servers within the service provider network (for
example, the registrar and call control server), it MUST use DNS
NAPTR and SRV. Alternatively, if the enterprise network has the
fully qualified domain name of the SIP service provider network,
it MUST use DNS to resolve the said FQDN to an IP address. The
dns element encodes the IP address of one or more DNS servers
hosted in the service provider network. If however, either the
registrar or callControl elements or both are populated with a
valid IP address and port pair, the dns element MUST be set to the
quadruple octet of 0.0.0.0.
o *outboundProxy*: A leaf list that specifies the transport address
of one or more outbound proxies. The transport address can be
specified by using a combination of an IP address and a port
number, a subdomain of the SIP service provider network, or a
fully qualified domain name and port number of the SIP service
provider network. If the outbound-proxy sub-element is populated
with a valid transport address, it represents the default
destination for all outbound SIP requests and therefore, the
registrar and callControl elements MUST be populated with the
quadruple octet of 0.0.0.0.
o *call-specs*: A container that encapsulates information about call
specifications, restrictions and additional handling criteria for
SIP calls between the enterprise and service provider network.
o *earlyMedia*: A leaf that specifies whether the service provider
network is expected to deliver in-band announcements/tones before
call connect. The P-Early-Media header field can be used to
indicate pre-connect delivery of tones and announcements on a per-
call basis. However, given that signalling and media could
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
traverse a large number of intermediaries with varying
capabilities (in terms of handling of the P-Early-Media header
field) within the enterprise, such devices can be appropriately
configured for media cut through if it is known before-hand that
early media is expected for some or all of the outbound calls.
This element is a Boolean type, where a value of 1/true signifies
that the service provider is capable of early media. A value of
0/false signifies that the service provider is not expected to
generate early media.
o *signalingForking*: A leaf that specifies whether outbound call
requests from the enterprise might be forked on the service
provider network leading to multiple early dialogs. This
information would be useful to the enterprise network in
appropriately handling multiple early dialogs reliably and in
enforcing local policy. This element is a Boolen type, where a
value of 1/true signifies that the service provider network can
potentially fork outbound call requests from the enterprise. A
value of 0/false indicates that the service provider will not fork
outbound call requests.
o *supportedMethods*: A leaf node that specifies the various SIP
methods supported by the SIP service provider. The list of
supported methods help to appropriately configuration various
devices within the enterprise network. For example, if the
service provider enumerates support for the OPTIONS method, the
enterprise network could periodically send OPTIONS requests as a
keep-alive mechanism.
o *media*: A container that is used to collectively encapsulate the
characteristics of UDP-based audio streams. A future
extension to this draft may extend the media container to describe
other media types. The media container is also used to
encapsulate basic information about Real-Time Transport Protocol
(RTP) and Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) from the
perspective of the service provider network.
o *mediaTypeAudio*: A container for the mediaFormat leaf-list. This
container collectively encapsulates the various audio media
formats supported by the SIP service provider.
o *mediaFormat*: A leaf-list encoding the various audio media
formats supported by the SIP service provider. The relative
ordering of different media format leaf nodes from left to right
indicates preference from the perspective of the service provider.
Each mediaFormat node begins with the encoding name of the media
format, which is the same encoding name as used in the "RTP/AVP"
and "RTP/SAVP" profiles. The encoding name is followed by
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
required and optional parameters for the given media format as
specified when the media format is registered [RFC4855]. Given
that the parameters of media formats can vary from one
communication session to another, for example, across two separate
communication sessions, the packetization time (ptime) used for
the PCMU media format might vary from 10 to 30 ms, the parameters
included in the format element MUST be the ones that are expected
to be invariant from the perspective of the service provider.
Providing information about supported media formats and their
respective parameters, allows enterprise networks to configure the
media plane characteristics of various devices such as endpoints
and middleboxes. The encoding name, one or more required
parameters, one or more optional parameters are all separated by a
semicolon. The formatting of a given media format parameter, MUST
follow the formatting rules as specified for that media format.
o *fax*: A container that encapsulates the fax protocol(s) supported
by the SIP service provider. The fax container encloses a leaf-
list (named protocol) that enumerates whether the service provider
supports t38 relay, protocol-based fax passthrough or both. The
relative ordering of leaf nodes within the leaf lists indicates
preference.
o *rtp*: A container that encapsulates generic characteristics of
RTP sessions between the enterprise and service provider network.
This node is a container for the "RTPTrigger" and "SymmetricRTP"
leaf nodes.
o *RTPTrigger*: A leaf node indicating whether the SIP service
provider network always expects the enterprise network to send the
first RTP packet for an established communication session. This
information is useful in scenarios such as "hairpinned" calls, in
which the caller and callee are on the service provider network
and because of sub-optimal media routing, an enterprise device
such as an SBC is retained in the media path. Based on the
encoding of this node, it is possible to configure enterprise
devices such as SBCs to start streaming media (possibly filled
with silence payloads) toward the address:port tuples provided by
caller and callee. This node is a Boolean type. A value of 1/
true indicates that the service provider expects the enterprise
network to send the first RTP packet, whereas a value of 0/false
indicates that the service provider network does not require the
enterprise network to send the first media packet. While the
practise of preserving the enterprise network in a hairpinned call
flow is fairly common, it is RECOMMENDED that SIP service
providers avoid this practise. In the context of a hairpinned
call, the enterprise device retained in the call flow can easily
eavesdrop on the conversation between the offnet parties.
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
o *symmetricRTP*: A leaf node indicating whether the SIP service
provider expects the enterprise network to use symmetric RTP as
defined in [RFC4961]. Uncovering this expectation is useful in
scenarios where "latching" [RFC3762] is implemented in the service
provider network. This node is a Boolean type, a value of 1/true
indicates that the service provider expects the enterprise network
to use symmetric RTP, whereas a value of 0/false indicates that
the enterprise network can use asymmetric RTP.
o *rtcp*: A container that encapsulates generic characteristics of
RTCP sessions between the enterprise and service provider network.
This node is a container for the "RTCPFeedback" and
"SymmetricRTCP" leaf nodes.
o *RTCPFeedback*: A leaf node that indicates whether the SIP service
provider supports the RTP profile extension for RTCP-based
feedback [RFC4585]. Media sessions spanning enterprise and
service provider networks, are rarely made to flow directly
between the caller and callee, rather, it is often the case that
media traffic flows through network intermediaries such as SBCs.
As a result, RTCP traffic from the service provider network is
intercepted by these intermediaries, which in turn can either pass
across RTCP traffic unmodified or modify RTCP traffic before it is
forwarded to the endpoint in the enterprise network. Modification
of RTCP traffic would be required, for example, if the
intermediary has performed media payload transformation operations
such as transcoding or transrating. In a similar vein, for the
RTCP-based feedback mechanism as defined in [RFC4585] to be truly
effective, intermediaries MUST ensure that feedback messages are
passed reliably and with the correct formatting to enterprise
endpoints. This might require additional configuration and
considerations that need to be dealt with at the time of
provisioning the intermediary device. This node is a Boolean
type, a value of 1/true indicates that the service provider
supports the RTP profile extension for RTP-based feedback and a
value of 0/false indicates that the service provider does not
support the RTP profile extension for RTP-based feedback.
o *symmetricRTCP*: A leaf node indicating whether the SIP service
provider expects the enterprise network to use symmetric RTCP as
defined in [RFC4961]. This node is a Boolean type, a value of 1
indicates that the service provider expects symmetric RTCP
reports, whereas a value of 0 indicates that the enterprise can
use asymmetric RTCP.
o *dtmf*: A container that describes the various aspects of DTMF
relay via RTP Named Telephony Events. The dtmf container allows
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
SIP service providers to specify two facets of DTMF relay via
Named Telephony Events:
1. The payload type number using the payloadNumber leaf node.
2. Support for [RFC2833] or [RFC4733] using the iteration leaf node.
In the context of named telephony events, senders and receivers may
negotiate asymmetric payload type numbers. For example, the sender
might advertise payload type number 97 and the receiver might
advertise payload type number 101. In such instances, it is either
required for middleboxes to interwork payload type numbers or allow
the endpoints to send and receive asymmetric payload numbers. The
behaviour of middleboxes in this context is largely dependent on
endpoint capabilities or on service provider constraints. Therefore,
the payloadNumber leaf node can be used to determine middlebox
configuration before-hand.
[RFC4733]iterates over [RFC2833] by introducing certain changes in
the way NTE events are transmitted. SIP service providers can
indicate support for [RFC4733] by setting the iteration flag to 1 or
indicating support for [RFC2833] by setting the iteration flag to 0.
o *security*: A container that encapsulates characteristics about
encrypting signalling streams between the enterprise and SIP
service provider networks.
o *signaling*: A container that encapsulates the type of security
protocol for the SIP communication between the enterprise SBC and
the service provider.
o *type*: A leaf node that specifies the protocol used for
protecting SIP signalling messages between the enterprise and
service provider network. The value of the type leaf node is only
defined for Transport Layer Security (TLS). Accordingly, if TLS
is allowed for SIP sessions between the enterprise and service
provider network, the type leaf node is set to the string "tls".
o *version*: A leaf node that specifies the version(s) of TLS
supported in decimal format. If multiple versions of TLS are
supported, they MUST be separated by semi-colons. If the service
provide does not support TLS for protecting SIP sessions, the
signalling element is set to the string "NULL".
o *mediaSecurity*: A container that describes the various
characteristics of securing media streams between enterprise and
service provider networks.
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
o *keyManagement*: A leaf node that specifies the key management
method used by the service provider. Possible values of this node
include: "SDES" and "DTLS-SRTP". A value of "SDES" signifies that
the SIP service provider uses the methods defined in [RFC4568] for
the purpose of key management. A value of "DTLS-SRTP" signifies
that the SIP service provider uses the methods defined in
[RFC5764] for the purpose of key management. If the value of this
leaf node is set to "DTLS-SRTP", the various versions of DTLS
supported by the SIP service provider MUST be encoded as per the
formatting rules of Section 9.2. If the service provider does not
support media security, the keyManagement node MUST be set to
"NULL".
o *extensions*: A leaf node that is a semicolon separated list of
all possible SIP option tags supported by the service provider
network. These extensions MUST be referenced using name
registered under IANA. If the service provider network does not
support any extensions to baseline SIP, the extensions node MUST
be set to "NULL".
9.4. Extending the Capability Set
There are situations in which equipment manufactures or service
providers would benefit from extending the YANG module defined in
this draft. For example, service providers could extend the YANG
module to include information that further simplifies direct IP
peering. Such information could include: trunk group identifiers,
direct-inward-dial (DID) number ranges allocated to the enterprise,
customer/enterprise account numbers, service provider support
numbers, among others.
Extension of the module can be achieved by importing the module
defined in this draft. An example is provided below:
Consider a new YANG module "vendorA" specified for VendorA's
enterprise SBC. The "vendorA-config" YANG module is configured as
follows:
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
module vendorA-config {
namespace "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:vendorA-config";
prefix "vendorA";
description
"Data model for configuring VendorA Enterprise SBC";
revision 2020-05-06 {
description "Initial revision of VendorA Enterprise SBC configuration data model";
}
import ietf-peering {
prefix "peering";
}
augment "/peering:peering-info" {
container vendorAConfig {
leaf vendorAConfigParam1 {
type int32;
description "vendorA configuration parameter 1 (SBC Device ID)";
}
leaf vendorAConfigParam2 {
type string;
description "vendorA configuration parameter 2 (SBC Device name)";
}
description "Container for vendorA SBC configuration";
}
}
}
In the example above, a custom module named "vendorA-config" uses the
"augment" statement as defined in Section 4.2.8 of [RFC7950] to
extend the module defined in this draft.
10. Example Capability Set Document Encoding
This section provides examples of how capability set documents that
leverage the YANG module defined in this document can be encoded over
JSON or XML.

11. Example Exchange
This section depicts an example of the configuration flow that
ultimately results in the enterprise edge element obtaining the
capability set document from the SIP service provider.
Assuming the enterprise edge element isn't pre-configured with the
request target for the capability set document and is required to
authenticate with the SIP service provider capability server, the
following sequence of events are put into motion to obtain the
capability set document:
The enterprise edge element generates a WebFinger query to discover
endpoints hosted in the ssp1.example.com domain (line wraps are for
display purposes only)
GET /.well-known/webfinger?
resource=http%3A%2F%2Fssp1.example.com
&rel=http%3A%2f%2fsipserviceprovider%2fcapserver
&rel=http%3A%2f%2fsipserviceprovider%2auth
&rel= http%3A%2f%2fsipserviceprovider%2token
HTTP/1.1
Host: ssp1.example.com
The resulting WebFinger response, contains the URLs of the capability
server, the OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint and OAuth 2.0 token
endpoint.
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Type: application/jrd+json
{
"subject" : "http://ssp1.example.com",
"links" :
[
{
"rel" : "http://sipserviceprovider/capserver",
"href" : "https://capserver.ssp1.com"
},
{

"href" : "https://ssp1.com/authorize"
},
{
"rel" : "http://sipserviceprovider/token",
"href" : "https://ssp1.com/token"
},
]
}
The endpoint URLs returned in the WebFinger response are stored by the
edge element and referenced when required. Then, the administrator logs
into the GUI of the edge element and initiates the download of the
service provider capability set (perhaps by clicking on a button). This
triggers the edge element to redirect the administrator to the OAuth 2.0
authorization endpoint (discovered via WebFinger). Once the
administrator is authenticated and provides authorization, flow is
redirected to the callback URL of the edge element application. The edge
element then contacts the OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (discovered via
WebFinger) to authenticate itself and obtain access and refresh tokens.
Accordingly, the edge element mints a JWT bearer token to authenticate
itself with the token endpoint and obtain an access and refresh token.
Below is an example of client authentication using a JWT during the
presentation of an authorization code grant for an access token request
(line wraps are for display purposes only).

If the request is acceptable to the token endpoint, an access token and
a refresh token is provided in the response. For example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Cache-Control: no-store
Pragma: no-cache
{
"access_token":"sF_9.B5f-4.1JqM",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":86400,
"refresh_token":"hGzv3JOkF0XG5Qx2TlKWIA"
}
The obtained bearer access token can subsequently be used to obtain the
capability set document for the capability server. The edge element
generates a HTTPS GET request with the bearer token included in the
Authorization header field.
GET //capdoc?trunkid=trunkent1456 HTTP/1.1
Host: capserver.ssp1.com
Authorization: Bearer mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM
Accept:application/peering-info+xml
The capability set document is obtained in the body of the response and
is encoded in XML.

12. Security Considerations
Capability set documents have a significant bearing on the quality of
the peering relationship between an enterprise and service provider
network. These documents can be modified by an attacker to
drastically impact the quality of communication sessions between
enterprise and service provider networks. Additionally, capability
set documents contain parameters that may be considered sensitive
from the perspective of the SIP service provider. For example, the
YANG model defined in this document might be extended by SIP service
providers to include account sensitive information such as the
username and password to used when generating an MD5 response to
401/407 SIP challenges.
To ensure the problems discussed in the previous paragraph are
accounted for, the following considerations MUST be taken into
account:
o Integrity and Confidentiality
Request and responses for the capability set documents are defined
over HTTP. However, due to the sensitive nature of information
transmitted between client and server, it is required to secure HTTP
using Transport Layer Security. The enterprise edge element and
capability server MUST be compliant to [RFC7235]. The enterprise
edge element and capability server MUST support the use of the https
uri scheme as defined in [RFC7230].
o Authenticated Client Identity
While this draft does not enforce client authentication, there are
situations in which client need to authenticated by SIP service
providers before they are provided capability set documents. In such
situations client MUST be authenticated using the procedures outlined
in section 6.3 of this draft.
o The "trunkid" parameter
Inamdar, et al. Expires March 13, 2020 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft SIP Auto Peer September 2019
It is RECOMMENDED that enterprise edge elements use the "trunkid"
parameter in query strings when requesting for the capability set
documents. The value of "trunkid" parameter is generated by the SIP
service provider and provided to the administrator via some out-of-
band mechanism. SIP service providers MUST ensure that value of the
"trunkid" parameters does not inadvertently communicate sensitive
information to an attacker such as a username or password credential.
In addition to the considerations listed above, all the security
considerations that are part of the WebFinger and OAuth 2.0
specifications are applicable to this draft.
