Overview   Many services that SIP is anticipated to support require the ability   to determine why and how the call arrived at a specific application.   Examples of such services include (but are not limited to) sessions   initiated to call centers via "click to talk" SIP Uniform Resource   Locators (URLs) on a web page, "call history/logging" style services   within intelligent "call management" software for SIP User Agents   (UAs), and calls to voicemail servers.  Although SIP implicitly   provides the redirect/retarget capabilities that enable calls to be   routed to chosen applications, there is currently no standard   mechanism within SIP for communicating the history of such a request.   This "request history" information allows the receiving application   to determine hints about how and why the call arrived at the   application/user.   This document defines a new SIP header, History-Info, to provide a   standard mechanism for capturing the request history information to   enable a wide variety of services for networks and end-users.  The   History-Info header provides a building block for development of new   services.Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005Section 1.3 provides additional background motivation for the Request   History capability.Section 2 identifies the requirements for a   solution, withSection 3 providing an overall description of the   solution.Section 4 provides the details of the additions to the SIP protocol.   Example uses of the new header are included inSection 4.5, with   additional scenarios included in the Appendix.Section 5 summarizes the application considerations identified in the   previous sections.Section 6 summarizes the security solution.1.2.  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 inRFC 2119 [RFC2119].1.3.  Background:Why define a Generic "Request History" capability?   SIP implicitly provides redirect/retarget capabilities that enable   calls to be routed to specific applications as defined in [RFC3261].   The term 'retarget' will be used henceforth in this document to refer   to the process of a Proxy Server/User Agent Client (UAC) changing a   Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in a request and thus changing the   target of the request.  This term is chosen to avoid associating this   request history only with the specific SIP Redirect Server capability   that provides for a response to be sent back to a UAC requesting that   the UAC should retarget the original request to an alternate URI.   The rules for determining request targets as described inSection16.5 of [RFC3261] are consistent with the use of the retarget term in   this document.   The motivation for the request history is that in the process of   retargeting, old routing information can be forever lost.  This lost   information may be important history that allows elements to which   the call is retargeted to process the call in a locally defined,   application-specific manner.  The proposal in this document is to   provide a mechanism for transporting the request history.  It is not   proposing any application-specific behavior for a Proxy or UA upon   receipt of the information.  Indeed, such behavior should be a local   decision for the recipient application.   Current network applications provide the ability for elements   involved with the call to exchange additional information relating to   how and why the call was routed to a particular destination.  The   following are examples of such applications:Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   1. Web "referral" applications, whereby an application residing      within a web server determines that a visitor to a website has      arrived at the site via an "associate" site that will receive some      "referral" commission for generating this traffic   2. Email forwarding whereby the forwarded-to user obtains a "history"      of who sent the email to whom and at what time   3. Traditional telephony services such as voicemail, call-center      "automatic call distribution", and "follow-me" style services   Several of the aforementioned applications currently define   application-specific mechanisms through which it is possible to   obtain the necessary history information.   In addition, request history information could be used to enhance   basic SIP functionality by providing the following:   o Some diagnostic information for debugging SIP requests.  (Note that     the diagnostic utility of this mechanism is limited by the fact     that its use by entities that retarget is optional.)   o A stronger security solution for SIP.  A side effect is that each     proxy that captures the "request history" information in a secure     manner provides an additional means (without requiring signed keys)     for the original requestor to be assured that the request was     properly retargeted.2.  "Request History" Requirements   The following list constitutes a set of requirements for a "Request   History" capability.   1) CAPABILITY-req:  The "Request History" capability provides a      capability to inform proxies and UAs involved in processing a      request about the history/progress of that request.  Although this      is inherently provided when the retarget is in response to a SIP      redirect, it is deemed useful for non-redirect retargeting      scenarios, as well.   2) OPTIONALITY-req: The "Request History" information is optional.      2.1) In many cases, it is anticipated that whether the history is           added to the Request would be a local policy decision           enforced by the specific application; thus, no specific           protocol element is needed.Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005      2.2) Due to the capability being "optional" from the SIP protocol           perspective, the impact to an application of not having the           "Request History" must be described.  Applicability           guidelines to be addressed by applications using this           capability must be provided as part of the solution to these           requirements.   3) GENERATION-req: "Request History" information is generated when      the request is retargeted.      3.1) In some scenarios, it might be possible for more than one           instance of retargeting to occur within the same Proxy.  A           proxy should also generate Request History information for           the 'internal retargeting'.      3.2) An entity (UA or proxy) retargeting in response to a redirect           or REFER should include any Request History information from           the redirect/REFER in the new request.   4) ISSUER-req: "Request History" information can be generated by a UA      or proxy.  It can be passed in both requests and responses.   5) CONTENT-req:  The "Request History" information for each      occurrence of retargeting shall include the following:      5.1) The new URI or address to which the request is in the process           of being retargeted,      5.2) The URI or address from which the request was retargeted,      5.3) The reason for the Request-URI or address modification,      5.4) Chronological ordering of the Request History information.   6) REQUEST-VALIDITY-req:  Request History is applicable to requests      not sent within an established dialog (e.g., INVITE, REGISTER,      MESSAGE, and OPTIONS).   7) BACKWARDS-req: Request History information may be passed from the      generating entity backwards towards the UAC.  This is needed to      enable services that inform the calling party about the dialog      establishment attempts.   8) FORWARDS-req:  Request History information may also be included by      the generating entity in the request, if it is forwarded onwards.Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20052.1.  Security Requirements   The Request History information is being inserted by a network   element retargeting a Request, resulting in a slightly different   problem than the basic SIP header problem, thus requiring specific   consideration.  It is recognized that these security requirements can   be generalized to a basic requirement of being able to secure   information that is inserted by proxies.   The potential security problems include the following:   1) A rogue application could insert a bogus Request History entry      either by adding an additional entry as a result of retargeting or      entering invalid information.   2) A rogue application could re-arrange the Request History      information to change the nature of the end application or to      mislead the receiver of the information.   3) A rogue application could delete some or all of the Request      History information.   Thus, a security solution for "Request History" must meet the   following requirements:   1) SEC-req-1: The entity receiving the Request History must be able      to determine whether any of the previously added Request History      content has been altered.   2) SEC-req-2: The ordering of the Request History information must be      preserved at each instance of retargeting.   3) SEC-req-3: The entity receiving the information conveyed by the      Request History must be able to authenticate the entity providing      the request.   4) SEC-req-4: To ensure the confidentiality of the Request History      information, only entities that process the request should have      visibility to the information.   It should be noted that these security requirements apply to any   entity making use of the Request History information, either by   retargeting and capturing the information, or as an application   making use of the information received in either a Request or   Response.Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20052.2.  Privacy Requirements   Since the Request-URI that is captured could inadvertently reveal   information about the originator, there are general privacy   requirements that MUST be met:   1) PRIV-req-1: The entity retargeting the Request must ensure that it      maintains the network-provided privacy (as described in [RFC3323])      associated with the Request as it is retargeted.   2) PRIV-req-2: The entity receiving the Request History must maintain      the privacy associated with the information.      In addition, local policy at a proxy may identify privacy      requirements associated with the Request-URI being captured in the      Request History information.   3) PRIV-req-3: Request History information subject to privacy      requirements shall not be included in outgoing messages unless it      is protected as described in [RFC3323].3.  Request History Information Description   The fundamental functionality provided by the request history   information is the ability to inform proxies and UAs involved in   processing a request about the history or progress of that request   (CAPABILITY-req).  The solution is to capture the Request-URIs as a   request is forwarded in a new header for SIP messages: History-Info   (CONTENT-req).  This allows for the capturing of the history of a   request that would be lost with the normal SIP processing involved in   the subsequent forwarding of the request.  This solution proposes no   changes in the fundamental determination of request targets or in the   request forwarding as defined in Sections16.5 and16.6 of the SIP   protocol specification [RFC3261].   The History-Info header can appear in any request not associated with   an established dialog (e.g., INVITE, REGISTER, MESSAGE, REFER and   OPTIONS, PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE, etc.) (REQUEST-VALIDITY-req) and any   valid response to these requests (ISSUER-req).   The History-Info header is added to a Request when a new request is   created by a UAC or forwarded by a Proxy, or when the target of a   request is changed.  The term 'retarget' is introduced to refer to   this changing of the target of a request and the subsequent   forwarding of that request.  It should be noted that retargeting only   occurs when the Request-URI indicates a domain for which the   processing entity is responsible.  In terms of the SIP protocol, the   processing associated with retargeting is described in Sections16.5Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   and 16.6 of [RFC3261].  As described inSection 16.5 of [RFC3261], it   is possible for the target of a request to be changed by the same   proxy multiple times (referred to as 'internal retargeting' inSection 2), as the proxy MAY add targets to the target set after   beginning Request Forwarding.Section 16.6 of [RFC3261] describes   Request Forwarding.  It is during this process of Request Forwarding   that the History Information is captured as an optional, additional   header field.  Thus, the addition of the History-Info header does not   impact fundamental SIP Request Forwarding.  An entity (UA or proxy)   changing the target of a request in response to a redirect or REFER   SHOULD also propagate any History-Info header from the initial   Request in the new request (GENERATION-req, FORWARDS-req).3.1.  Optionality of History-Info   The History-Info header is optional in that neither UAs nor Proxies   are required to support it.  A new Supported header, "histinfo", is   included in the Request to indicate whether the History-Info header   is returned in Responses (BACKWARDS-req).  In addition to the   "histinfo" Supported header, local policy determines whether or not   the header is added to any request, or for a specific Request-URI,   being retargeted.  It is possible that this could restrict the   applicability of services that make use of the Request History   Information to be limited to retargeting within domain(s) controlled   by the same local policy, or between domain(s) which negotiate   policies with other domains to ensure support of the given policy, or   services for which complete History Information isn't required to   provide the service (OPTIONALITY-req).  All applications making use   of the History-Info header MUST clearly define the impact of the   information not being available and specify the processing of such a   request.3.2.  Securing History-Info   This document defines a new header for SIP.  The use of the Transport   Layer Security (TLS) protocol [RFC2246] as a mandatory mechanism to   ensure the overall confidentiality of the History-Info headers (SEC-   req-4) is strongly RECOMMENDED.  This results in History-Info having   at least the same level of security as other headers in SIP that are   inserted by intermediaries.  If TLS is not available for the   connection over which the request is being forwarded, then the   request MUST NOT include the History-Info header or the request MUST   be redirected to the client, including the History-Info header, so   that the request can be retargeted by the client.   With the level of security provided by TLS (SEC-req-3), the   information in the History-Info header can thus be evaluated to   determine if information has been removed by evaluating the indicesBarnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   for gaps (SEC-req-1, SEC-req-2).  It would be up to the application   to define whether it can make use of the information in the case of   missing entries.   Note that while using the SIPS scheme protects History-Info from   tampering by arbitrary parties outside the SIP message path, all the   intermediaries on the path are trusted implicitly.  A malicious   intermediary could arbitrarily delete, rewrite, or modify History-   Info.  This specification does not attempt to prevent or detect   attacks by malicious intermediaries.3.3.  Ensuring the Privacy of History-Info   Since the History-Info header can inadvertently reveal information   about the requestor as described in [RFC3323], the Privacy header   SHOULD be used to determine whether an intermediary can include the   History-Info header in a Request that it receives and forwards   (PRIV-req-2) or that it retargets (PRIV-req-1).  Thus, the History-   Info header SHOULD NOT be included in Requests where the requestor   has indicated a priv-value of Session- or Header-level privacy.   In addition, the History-Info header can reveal general routing   information, which may be viewed by a specific intermediary or   network, to be subject to privacy restrictions.  Thus, local policy   MAY also be used to determine whether to include the History-Info   header at all, whether to capture a specific Request-URI in the   header, or whether it be included only in the Request as it is   retargeted within a specific domain (PRIV-req-3).  In the latter   case, this is accomplished by adding a new priv-value, history, to   the Privacy header [RFC3323] indicating whether any or a specific   History-Info header(s) SHOULD be forwarded.   It is recognized that satisfying the privacy requirements can impact   the functionality of this solution by overriding the request to   generate the information.  As with the optionality and security   requirements, applications making use of History-Info SHOULD address   any impact this may have or MUST explain why it does not impact the   application.4.  Request History Information Protocol Details   This section contains the details and usage of the proposed new SIP   protocol elements.  It also discusses the security aspects of the   solution.Barnes                      Standards Track                     [Page 9]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20054.1.  Protocol Structure of History-Info   History-Info is a header field as defined by [RFC3261].  It is an   optional header field and MAY appear in any request or response not   associated with a dialog or which starts a dialog.  For example,   History-Info MAY appear in INVITE, REGISTER, MESSAGE, REFER, OPTIONS,   SUBSCRIBE, and PUBLISH and any valid responses, plus NOTIFY requests   that initiate a dialog.   This document adds the following entry to Table 2 of [RFC3261].  The   additions to this table are also provided for extension methods at   the time of publication of this document.  This is provided as a   courtesy to the reader and is not normative in any way.

The format for       this parameter is a string of digits, separated by dots to       indicate the number of forward hops and retargets.  This results       in a tree representation of the history of the request, with the       lowest-level index reflecting a branch of the tree.  By adding       the new entries in order (i.e., following existing entries per       the details inSection 4.3.3.1), including the index and securing       the header, the ordering of the History-Info headers in the       request is assured (SEC-req-2).  In addition, applications may       extract a variety of metrics (total number of retargets, total       number of retargets from a specific branch, etc.) based upon the       index values.     o Reason: An optional parameter for History-Info, reflected in the       History-Info header by including the Reason Header [RFC3326]       escaped in the hi-targeted-to-uri.

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005       a hi-targeted-to-uri when it is first added in a History-Info       header, but rather is added when the retargeting actually occurs.       Note that this does appear to complicate the security problem;       however, retargeting only occurs when the hi-targeted-to-uri       indicates a domain for which the processing entity is       responsible.  Thus, it would be the same processing entity that       initially added the hi-targeted-to-URI to the header that would       be updating it with the Reason.     o Privacy: An optional parameter for History-Info, reflected in the       History-Info header field values by including the Privacy Header       [RFC3323] with a priv-value of "history" escaped in the hi-       targeted-to-uri or by adding the Privacy header with a priv-value       of "history" to the Request.  The use of the Privacy Header with       a priv-value of "history" indicates whether a specific or all       History-Info headers should not be forwarded.     o Extension (hi-extension): An optional parameter to allow for       future optional extensions.  As per [RFC3261], any implementation       not understanding an extension should ignore it.   The following summarizes the syntax of the History-Info header, based   upon the standard SIP syntax [RFC3261]:          History-Info = "History-Info" HCOLON                            hi-entry *(COMMA hi-entry)          hi-entry = hi-targeted-to-uri *( SEMI hi-param )          hi-targeted-to-uri= name-addr          hi-param = hi-index / hi-extension          hi-index = "index" EQUAL 1*DIGIT *(DOT 1*DIGIT)          hi-extension = generic-param4.2.

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005         <sip:UserB@example.com?Privacy=history&Reason=SIP%3B\         cause%3D486>;index=1.2,         <sip:45432@vm.example.com>;index=1.34.3.  Protocol Usage   This section describes the processing specific to UAs and Proxies for   the History-Info header, the "histinfo" option tag, and the priv-   value of "history".  As discussed inSection 1.3, the fundamental   objective is to capture the target Request-URIs as a request is   forwarded.  This allows for the capturing of the history of a request   that would be lost due to subsequent (re)targeting and forwarding.   To accomplish this for the entire history of a request, either the   UAC must capture the Request-URI in a History-Info header in the   initial request or a proxy must add a History-Info header with both a   hi-entry for the Request-URI in the initial request and a hi-entry   for the target Request-URI as the request is forwarded.  The basic   processing is for each entity forwarding a request to add a hi-entry   for the target Request-URI, updating the index and adding the Reason   as appropriate for any retargeted Request-URI.4.3.1.  User Agent Client (UAC) Behavior   The UAC SHOULD include the "histinfo" option tag in the Supported   header in any request not associated with an established dialog for   which the UAC would like the History-Info header in the response.  In   addition, the UAC MAY improve the diagnostic utility of its request   by adding a History-Info header, using the Request-URI of the request   as the hi-target-to-uri and initializing the index to the RECOMMENDED   value of 1 in the hi-entry.  As a result, intermediaries and the UAS   will know at least the original Request-URI, and if the Request-URI   was modified by a previous hop.   In the case where the request is routed to a redirect server and the   UAC receives a 3xx response with a Contact header, the UAC MAY   maintain the previous hi-entry(s) in the request.  In this case, the   reason header SHOULD be associated with the hi-targeted-to-uri in the   previous (last) hi-entry, as described inSection 4.3.3.1.2. A new   hi-entry MAY then be added for the URI from the Contact header (which   becomes the new Request-URI).  In this case, the index is created by   reading and incrementing the value of the index from the previous   hi-entry, thus following the same rules as those prescribed for a   proxy in retargeting, described inSection 4.3.3.1.3. An example of   this scenario can be found inAppendix D.   A UAC that does not want the History-Info header added due to privacy   considerations SHOULD include a Privacy header with a priv-value(s)   of "session", "header", or "history" in the request.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 12]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   With the exception of the processing of a 3xx response described   above, the processing of the History-Info header received in the   Response is application specific and outside the scope of this   document.  However, the validity of the information SHOULD be ensured   prior to any application usage.  For example, the entries MAY be   evaluated to determine gaps in indices, which could indicate that an   entry has been maliciously removed or removed for privacy reasons.   Either way, an application MAY want to be aware of potentially   missing information.4.3.2.  User Agent Server (UAS) Behavior   The processing of the History-Info header by a UAS in a Request   depends upon local policy and specific applications at the UAS that   might make use of the information.  Prior to any application usage of   the information, the validity SHOULD be ascertained.  For example,   the entries MAY be evaluated to determine gaps in indices, which   could indicate that an entry has been maliciously removed or removed   for privacy reasons.  Either way, an application MAY want to be aware   of potentially missing information.   If the "histinfo" option tag is received in a request, the UAS SHOULD   include any History-Info received in the request in the subsequent   response.4.3.3.  Proxy Behavior   The inclusion of the History-Info header in a Request does not alter   the fundamental processing of proxies for determining request targets   as defined inSection 16.5 of [RFC3261].  Whether a proxy adds the   History-Info header or a new hi-entry as it forwards a Request   depends upon the following considerations:      1. Whether the Request contains the "histinfo" option tag in the         Supported header.      2. Whether the proxy supports the History-Info header.      3. Whether the Request contains a Privacy header with a priv-value         of "session", "header", or "history".      4. Whether any History-Info header added for a proxy/domain should         go outside that domain.  An example being the use of the         History-Info header within the specific domain in which it is         retargeted, however, policies (for privacy, user and network         security, etc.) would prohibit the exposure of that information         outside that domain.  To accommodate such a scenario, a proxy         MAY insert the Privacy header with a priv-value of "history"         when the request is being forwarded within the same domain.  An         example of such an application is provided inAppendix C.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 13]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005      5. Whether a hi-entry is added for a specific Request-URI due to         local privacy policy considerations.  A proxy MAY add the         Privacy header with a priv-value of "history" associated with         the specific hi-targeted-to-uri.   An example policy would be a proxy that only adds the History-Info   header if the "histinfo" option tag is in the Supported header.   Other proxies may have a policy that they always add the header, but   never forward it outside a particular domain, accomplishing this by   adding a Privacy header with a priv-value of "history" to each hi-   entry to allow the information to be collected for internal   retargeting only.   Each application making use of the History-Info header SHOULD address   the impacts of the local policies on the specific application (e.g.,   what specification of local policy is optimally required for a   specific application and any potential limitations imposed by local   policy decisions).   Consistent with basic SIP processing of optional headers, proxies   SHOULD maintain the History-Info header(s), received in messages   being forwarded, independent of whether local policy supports   History-Info.   The specific processing by proxies for adding the History-Info   headers in Requests and Responses, to accommodate the considerations   outlined above, is described in detail in the following sections.4.3.3.1.  Adding the History-Info Header to Requests   Upon evaluation of the considerations under which the History-Info   header is to be included in requests (e.g., no Privacy header   overriding inclusion, local policy supports, etc.), detailed inSection 4.3.3, a proxy SHOULD add a hi-entry as it forwards a   Request.Section 16.6 of [RFC3261] defines the steps to be followed   as the proxy forwards a Request.  Step 5 prescribes the addition of   optional headers.  Although this would seem the appropriate step for   adding the History-Info header, the interaction with Step 6,   "Postprocess routing information", and the impact of a strict route   in the Route header could result in the Request-URI being changed;   thus, adding the History-Info header between Steps 8 (adding Via   header) and 9 (adding Content-Length) is RECOMMENDED.  Note that in   the case of loose routing, the Request-URI does not change during the   forwarding of a Request; thus, the capturing of History-Info for such   a request would result in duplicate Request-URIs with different   indices.  The hi-entry MUST be added following any hi-entry received   in the request being forwarded.  Additionally, if a request is   received that doesn't include a History-Info header, the proxy MAYBarnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 14]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   add a History-Info header with a hi-entry preceding the one being   added for the current request being forwarded.  The index for this   hi-entry is RECOMMENDED to start at 1.  The following subsections   define the details of creating the information associated with each   hi-entry.4.3.3.1.1.  Privacy in the History-Info Header   If there is a Privacy header in the request with a priv-value of   "session", "header", or "history", a hi-entry MAY be added, if the   request is being forwarded to a Request-URI associated with a domain   for which the processing entity is responsible (and provided local   policy supports the History-Info header, etc.).  If a request is   being forwarded to a Request-URI associated with a domain for which   the proxy is not responsible and there is a Privacy header in the   request with a priv-value of "session", "header", or "history", the   proxy SHOULD remove any hi-entry(s) prior to forwarding, depending   upon local policy and whether the proxy might know a priori that it   can rely on a downstream privacy service to apply the requested   privacy.   For the scenario where there is no Privacy header in the request and   the request is being forwarded to a Request-URI associated with the   domain(s) for which this entity is responsible, there are several   additional considerations:     o If there is no local policy associated with privacy, then a hi-       entry MAY be added to the Request.     o If the proxy's local policies, per consideration 4 insection4.3.3, indicate that the History-Info header should not be       forwarded beyond the domain for which this intermediary is       responsible, then a Privacy header with a priv-value of "history"       SHOULD be associated with each hi-entry added by that proxy in       this scenario.     o If the proxy's policy, per consideration 5 inSection 4.3.3,       indicates that History-Info for a specific Request-URI should not       be forwarded beyond the domain for which this intermediary is       responsible, then a Privacy header with a priv-value of "history"       SHOULD be associated with the specific hi-entry, for that       specific hi-targeted-to-uri, added by that proxy in this       scenario.   If a request is being forwarded to a Request-URI associated with a   domain for which the proxy is not responsible and local policy   requires privacy associated with any, or with specific, hi-entries itBarnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 15]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005   has added, any hi-entry with a priv-value of "history" SHOULD be   removed prior to forwarding.4.3.3.1.2.  Reason in the History-Info Header   For retargets that are the result of an explicit SIP response, a   Reason MUST be associated with the hi-targeted-to-uri.  If the SIP   response does not include a Reason header, the SIP Response Code that   triggered the retargeting MUST be included as the Reason associated   with the hi-targeted-to-uri that has been retargeted.  If the   response contains a non-SIP Reason header (e.g., Q.850), it MUST be   captured as an additional Reason associated with the hi-targeted-to-   uri that has been retargeted, along with the SIP Response Code.  If   the Reason header is a SIP reason, then it MUST be used as the Reason   associated with the hi-targeted-to-uri rather than the SIP response   code.   For retargets as a result of timeouts or internal events, a Reason   MAY be associated with the hi-targeted-to-uri that has been   retargeted.   The addition of the Reason should occur prior to the forwarding of   the request (which may add a new hi-entry with a new hi-targeted-to-   uri) as it is associated with the hi-targeted-to-uri that has been   retargeted, since it reflects the reason why the Request to that   specific URI was not successful.4.3.3.1.3.  Indexing in the History-Info Header   In order to maintain ordering and accurately reflect the nesting and   retargeting of the request, an index MUST be included along with the   Targeted-to-URI being captured.  Per the syntax inSection 4.1, the   index consists of a dot-delimited series of digits (e.g., 1.1.2).   Each dot reflects a hop or level of nesting; thus, the number of hops   is determined by the total number of dots.  Within each level, the   integer reflects the number of peer entities to which the request has   been routed.  Thus, the indexing results in a logical tree   representation for the history of the Request.  It is recommended   that for each level of indexing, the index start at 1.  It is   recommended that an increment of 1 is used for advancing to a new   branch.   The basic rules for adding the index are summarized as follows:     1. Basic Forwarding:  In the case of a Request that is being        forwarded, the index is determined by adding another level of        indexing since the depth/length of the branch is increasing.  To        accomplish this, the proxy reads the value from the History-InfoBarnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 16]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005        header in the received request, if available, and adds another        level of indexing by appending the dot delimiter followed by an        initial index for the new level RECOMMENDED to be 1.  For        example, if the index in the last History-Info header field in        the received request is 1.1, this proxy would initialize its        index to 1.1.1 and forward the request.     2. Retargeting within a Proxy - 1st instance:  For the first        instance of retargeting within a Proxy, the calculation of the        index follows that prescribed for basic forwarding.     3. Retargeting within a Proxy - subsequent instance: For each        subsequent retargeting of a request by the same proxy, another        branch is added.  With the index for each new branch calculated        by incrementing the last/lowest digit at the current level, the        index in the next request forwarded by this same proxy,        following the example above, would be 1.1.2.     4. Retargeting based upon a Response:  In the case of retargeting        due to a specific response (e.g., 302), the index would be        calculated per rule 3.  That is, the lowest/last digit of the        index is incremented (i.e., a new branch is created), with the        increment RECOMMENDED to be 1.  For example, if the index in the        History-Info header of the received request was 1.2, then the        index in the History-Info header field for the new hi-targeted-        to-URI would be 1.3.     5. Retargeting the request in parallel (forking): If the request        forwarding is done in parallel, the index MUST be captured for        each forked request per the rules above, with each new Request        having a unique index.  The only difference in the messaging for        this scenario and the messaging produced per basic proxy        retargeting in rules 2 and 3 is these forwarded requests do not        have History-Info entries associated with their peers.  The        proxy builds the subsequent response (or request) using the        aggregated information associated with each of those requests        and including the header entries in the order indicated by the        indexing.  Responses are processed as described inSection 16.7        of [RFC3261] with the aggregated History-Info entries processed        similar to Step 7 "Aggregate Authentication Header Field        Values".Section 4.5 provides an example of a parallel request        scenario, highlighting this indexing mechanism.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 17]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20054.3.3.2.  Processing History-Info in Responses   A proxy that receives a Request with the "histinfo" option tag in the   Supported header, and depending upon a local policy supporting the   capture of History-Info, SHOULD return captured History-Info in   subsequent, provisional, and final responses to the Request, subject   to the following considerations for privacy:     o If the response is being forwarded to a Request-URI associated       with a domain for which the proxy is not responsible and there       was a Privacy header, in the request received by the proxy, with       a priv-value of "session", "header", or "history", the proxy MUST       remove the History-Info header (i.e., all hi-entries) prior to       forwarding.     o If a request is being forwarded to a Request-URI associated with       a domain for which the proxy is not responsible and local policy       requires privacy associated with any or all hi-entry(s) it has       added, any hi-entry with a priv-value of "history" MUST be       removed prior to forwarding.     o If a proxy receives a response from another intermediary       associated with a domain for which it is responsible, including       hi-entry(s) with privacy headers, and that response is to be       forwarded to a domain for which it is not responsible, then those       hi-entry(s) MUST be removed.   The processing of History-Info in responses follows the methodology   described inSection 16.7 of [RFC3261], with the processing of   History-Info headers adding an additional step, just before Step 9,   "Forwarding the Response".4.3.4.  Redirect Server Behavior   A redirect server SHOULD NOT add any new History-Info, as that would   be done by the entity receiving the 3xx response.  However, a   redirect server MAY include History-Info in responses by adding any   History-Info headers received in a request to a subsequent response.4.4.  Security for History-Info   As discussed inSection 3, the security requirements are met by   recommending the use of TLS (a basic SIP requirement per [RFC3261])   for hop-by-hop security.  If TLS is not available on the connection   over which a request containing a History-Info header is being   forwarded, then either of the following two options MUST be   implemented:Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 18]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005     o The History-Info header MUST be removed prior to forwarding the       request, or     o The request MUST be redirected, including the History-Info header       in the response, to allow the UAC to securely issue the request,       including the History-Info header.4.5.  Example Applications Using History-Info   This scenario highlights an example where the History-Info in the   response is primarily of use in not retrying routes that have already   been tried by another proxy.  Note that this is just an example and   that there may be valid reasons why a Proxy would want to retry the   routes, and thus, this would likely be a local proxy or even user-   specific policy.   UA1 sends a call to Bob to proxy 1.  Proxy 1 forwards the request to   Proxy 2.  Proxy 2 sends the requests in parallel and tries several   places (UA2, UA3, and UA4) before sending a response to Proxy 1 that   all the places are busy.  Proxy 1, without the History-Info, would   try some of the same places (e.g., UA3) based upon registered   contacts for Bob, before completing at UA5.  However, with the   History-Info, Proxy 1 determines that UA3 has already received the   invite; thus, the INVITE goes directly to UA5.Section 4.5.1 provides this same scenario using one of the privacy   mechanisms, with Proxy2 (P2) adding the Privacy header indicating   that the History-Info header is not to be propagated outside P2's   domain.  This scenario highlights the potential functionality lost   with the use of "history" privacy in the Privacy header for the   entire request and the need for careful consideration on the use of   privacy for History-Info.Section 4.5.2 also provides the same scenario using one of the   privacy mechanisms, however, due to local policy at Proxy2, only one   of the Request-URIs (UA4) in the History-Info contains a priv-value   of "history", thus allowing some optimized functionality in the   routing of the request, but still maintaining privacy for specific   URIs.   The formatting in these scenarios is for visual purposes; thus,   backslash and CRLF are used between the fields for readability and   the headers in the URI are not shown properly formatted for escaping.   Refer toSection 4.2 examples for the proper formatting.  Additional   detailed scenarios are available in the appendix.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 19]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20055.  Application Considerations   As seen by the example scenarios in the appendix, History-Info   provides a very flexible building block that can be used by   intermediaries and UAs for a variety of services.  As such, any   services making use of History-Info must be designed with the   following considerations:   1) History-Info is optional; thus, a service MUST define default      behavior for requests and responses not containing History-Info      headers.   2) History-Info may be impacted by privacy considerations.      Applications requiring History-Info need to be aware that if      Header-, Session-, or History-level privacy is requested by a UA      (or imposed by an intermediary) that History-Info may not be      available in a request or response.  This would be addressed by an      application in the same manner as the previous consideration by      ensuring there is reasonable default behavior should the      information not be available.   3) History-Info may be impacted by local policy.  Each application      making use of the History-Info header SHOULD address the impacts      of the local policies on the specific application (e.g., what      specification of local policy is optimally required for a specific      application and any potential limitations imposed by local policy      decisions).  Note that this is related to the optionality and      privacy considerations identified in 1 and 2 above, but goes      beyond that.  For example, due to the optionality and privacy      considerations, an entity may receive only partial History-Info      entries; will this suffice?  Note that this would be a limitation      for debugging purposes, but might be perfectly satisfactory for      some models whereby only the information from a specific      intermediary is required.   4) The security associated with the History-Info header requires the      use of TLS.  In the case of TLS not being available for a      connection over which a request is being forwarded, the History-      Info header may be removed from a request.  The impact of lack of      having the information depends upon the nature of the specific      application (e.g., Is the information something that appears on a      display or is it processed by automata which could have negative      impacts on the subsequent processing of a request?).  It is      suggested that the impact of an intermediary not supporting the      security recommendations should be evaluated by the application to      ensure that the impacts have been sufficiently addressed by the      application.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 24]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 20056.  Security Considerations   The threat model and related security and privacy requirements for   the History-Info header are described in Sections2.1 and2.2 of this   document.  Sections3.2,3.3, and4.4 provide normative   recommendations related to security and privacy fulfilling these   requirements.  The use of TLS is mandated between the entities (i.e.,   UAC to Proxy, Proxy to Proxy, and Proxy to UAS) that use the   History-Info header.  The appropriate handling of a request in the   case that TLS is not available for a specific connection is described   inSection 5.   With TLS, History-Info headers are no less, nor no more, secure than   other SIP headers, which generally have even more impact on the   subsequent processing of SIP sessions than the History-Info header.7.  IANA Considerations7.1.  Registration of New SIP History-Info Header   This document defines a new SIP header field name: History-Info and a   new option tag: histinfo.

This tag is not                 used in a Proxy-Require or Require                 header field since support of                 History-Info is optional.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 25]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005Appendix.  Example Scenarios   The scenarios in Appendices A-D provide sample use cases for the   History-Info header for informational purposes only.  They are not   intended to be normative and the formatting is for visual purposes;   thus, the headers in the URI are not shown properly formatted for   escaping.  Refer toSection 4.2 examples with the proper formatting.Appendix A.  Sequentially Forking (History-Info in Response)   This scenario highlights an example where the History-Info in the   response is useful to an application or user that originated the   request.   Alice at UA1 sends a call to Bob via Proxy1.  Proxy1 sequentially   tries several places (UA2, UA3 and UA4) unsuccessfully before sending   a response to Alice.   This scenario is provided to show that by providing the History-Info   to UA1, the end-user or an application at UA1 could make a decision   on how best to attempt finding Bob.  Without this mechanism, UA1   might well attempt UA3 (and thus UA4) and then re-attempt UA4 on a   third manual attempt at reaching Bob.  With this mechanism, either   the end-user or application could know that Bob is busy on his home   phone and is physically not in the office.  If there were an   alternative address for Bob known to this end-user or application,   that hasn't been attempted, then either the application or the end-   user could attempt that.  The intent here is to highlight an example   of the flexibility of this mechanism that enables applications well   beyond SIP as it is certainly well beyond the scope of this document   to prescribe detailed applications.   In this scenario, since UA1 has not included the original Request-URI   in the INVITE, the proxy adds a hi-entry to capture the original   Request-URI to provide the complete set of information, as discussed   inSection 4.3.3.1.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 28]

RFC 4244            SIP Request History Information        November 2005Appendix B.  Voicemail   This scenario highlights an example where the History-Info in the   request is primarily of use by an edge service (e.g., voicemail   server).  It should be noted that this isn't intended to be a   complete specification for this specific edge service as it is quite   likely that additional information is needed by the edge service.   History-Info is just one building block that this service makes use   of.   UA1 called UA A, which had been forwarded to UA B, which forwarded to   a UA VM (voicemail server).  Based upon the retargeted URIs and   Reasons (and other information) in the INVITE, the VM server makes a   policy decision about what mailbox to use, which greeting to play,   etc.   UA1          Proxy           UA-A         UA-B        UA-VM   |              |              |             |          |   |--INVITE F1-->|              |             |          |   |              |              |             |          |   |              |--INVITE F2-->|             |          |   |<--100 F3-----|              |             |          |   |              |<-302 F4------|             |          |   |              |              |             |          |   |              |--------INVITE F5---------->|          |   |              |              |             |          |   |              |<--------180 F6-------------|          |   |<---180 F7----|              |             |          |   |  . . .       |              |             |          |   |              |------retransmit INVITE---->|          |   |  . . .       |              |             |          |   |              |       (timeout)            |          |   |              |              |             |          |   |              |-------INVITE F8---------------------->|   |              |              |             |          |   |              |<-200 F9-------------------------------|   |              |              |             |          |   |<-200 F10-----|              |             |          |   |              |              |             |          |   |--ACK F11-------------------------------------------->|Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 34]

UA-VM starts announcement for UA1 */Appendix C.  Automatic Call Distribution Example   This scenario highlights an example of an Automatic Call Distribution   service, where the agents are divided into groups based upon the type   of customers they handle.  In this example, the Gold customers are   given higher priority than Silver customers, so a Gold call would get   serviced even if all the agents servicing the Gold group (ACDGRP1)   were busy, by retargeting the request to the Silver Group.  Upon   receipt of the call at the agent assigned to handle the incoming   call, based upon the History-Info header in the message, the   application at the agent can provide an indication that this is a   Gold call, from how many groups it might have overflowed before   reaching the agent, etc. and thus can be handled appropriately by the   agent.   For scenarios whereby calls might overflow from the Silver to the   Gold, clearly the alternate group identification, internal routing,   or actual agent that handles the call SHOULD not be sent to UA1.   Thus, for this scenario, one would expect that the Proxy would not   support the sending of the History-Info in the response, even if   requested by the calling UA.   As with the other examples, this is not prescriptive of how one would   do this type of service but an example of a subset of processing that   might be associated with such a service.  In addition, this example   is not addressing any aspects of Agent availability, which might also   be done via a SIP interface.Barnes                      Standards Track                    [Page 39]

Session via Redirect and Proxy Servers   In this scenario, Alice places a call to Bob using first a Redirect   server then a Proxy Server.  The INVITE message is first sent to the   Redirect Server.  The Server returns a 302 Moved Temporarily response   (F2) containing a Contact header with Bob's current SIP address.   Alice then generates a new INVITE with Bob's current SIP address   included in another History-Info entry.  The INVITE is then sent to   Bob via the Proxy Server, with Bob receiving the complete History   information; the call then proceeds normally.  The complete call flow   for this scenario, without the use of History-Info, is described inSection 3.6 of the SIP Basic Call Flow Examples [RFC3665].
