RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 20061. Introduction Many applications such as Unified Messaging (UM) systems and Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) systems have been developed out of traditional telephony. They can be used for storing and interacting with voice, video, faxes, email, and instant messaging services. Users often use SIP to initiate communications with these applications. When a SIP call is routed to an application, it is necessary that the application be able to obtain several bits of information from the session initiation message so that it can deliver the desired services. For the purpose of this document, we will use UM as the main example, but other applications may use the mechanism defined in this document. The UM needs to know what mailbox should be used and possible reasons for the type of service desired from the UM. Many voicemail systems provide different greetings depending whether the call went to voicemail because the user was busy or because the user did not answer. All of this information can be delivered in existing SIP signaling from the call control that retargets the call to the UM, but there are no conventions for describing how the desired mailbox and the service requested are expressed. It would be possible for every vendor to make this configurable so that any site could get it to work; however, this approach is unrealistic for achieving interoperability among call control, gateway, and unified messaging systems from different vendors. This specification describes a convention for describing this mailbox and service information in the SIP URI so that vendors and operators can build interoperable systems. If there were no need to interoperate with Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)-based voicemail systems or to allow TDM systems to use VoIP unified messaging systems, this problem would be a little easier to solve. The problem that is introduced in the Voice over IP (VoIP) to TDM case is as follows. The SIP system needs to tell a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) gateway both the subscriber's mailbox identifier (which typically looks like a phone number) and the address of the voicemail system in the TDM network (again a phone number). The question has been asked why the To header cannot be used to specify which mailbox to use. One problem is that the call control proxies cannot modify the To header, and the User Agent Clients (UACs) often set it incorrectly because they do not have information about the subscribers in the domain they are trying to call. This happens because the routing of the call often translates the URI multiple times before it results in an identifier for the desired user that is valid in the namespace that the UM system understands.Jennings, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 20062. Mechanism (User Agent Server and Proxy) The mechanism works by encoding the information for the desired service in the SIP Request-URI that is sent to the UM system. Two chunks of information are encoded, the first being the target mailbox to use and the second being the SIP status code that caused this retargeting and that indicates the desired service. The userinfo and hostport parts of the Request-URI will identify the voicemail service, the target mailbox can be put in the target parameter, and the reason can be put in the cause parameter. For example, if the proxy wished to use Bob's mailbox because his phone was busy, the URI sent to the UM system could be something like: sip:voicemail@example.com;target=bob%40example.com;cause=4862.1. Target Target is a URI parameter that indicates the address of the retargeting entity: in the context of UM, this can be the mailbox number. For example, in the case of a voicemail system on the PSTN, the user portion will contain the phone number of the voicemail system, while the target will contain the phone number of the subscriber's mailbox.2.2. Cause Cause is a URI parameter that is used to indicate the service that the User Agent Server (UAS) receiving the message should perform. The following values for this URI parameter are defined: +---------------------------------+-------+ | Redirecting Reason | Value | +---------------------------------+-------+ | Unknown/Not available | 404 | | User busy | 486 | | No reply | 408 | | Unconditional | 302 | | Deflection during alerting | 487 | | Deflection immediate response | 480 | | Mobile subscriber not reachable | 503 | +---------------------------------+-------+ The mapping to PSTN protocols is important both for gateways that connect the IP network to existing TDM customer's equipment, such as Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs) and voicemail systems, and for gateways that connect the IP network to the PSTN network. Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP) has signaling encodings forJennings, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 2006 this information that can be treated as roughly equivalent for the purposes here. For this reason, this specification uses the names of Redirecting Reason values defined in ITU-T Q.732.2-5 [8]. In this specification, the Redirecting Reason Values are referred to as "Causes". It should be understood that the term "Cause" has nothing to do with PSTN "Cause values" (as per ITU-T Q.850 [9] andRFC 3398 [5]) but are instead mapped to ITU-T Q.732.2-5 Redirecting Reasons. Since ISUP interoperates with other PSTN networks, such as Q.931 [10] and QSIG [11], using well-known rules, it makes sense to use the ISUP names as the most appropriate superset. If no appropriate mapping to a cause value defined in this specification exists in a network, it would be mapped to 302 "Unconditional". Similarly, if the mapping occurs from one of the causes defined in this specification to a PSTN system that does not have an equivalent reason value, it would be mapped to that network's equivalent of "Unconditional". If a new cause parameter needs to be defined, this specification will have to be updated. The user portion of the URI SHOULD be used as the address of the voicemail system on the PSTN, while the target SHOULD be mapped to the original redirecting number on the PSTN side. The redirection counters SHOULD be set to one unless additional information is available.2.3. Retrieving Messages The UM system MAY use the fact that the From header is the same as the URI target as a hint that the user wishes to retrieve messages.3. Interaction with Request History Information The Request History mechanism [6] provides more information relating to multiple retargetings. It is reasonable to have systems in which both the information in this specification and the History information are included and one or both are used. History-Info specifies a means of providing the UAS and UAC with information about the retargeting of a request. This information includes the initial Request-URI and any retarget-to URIs. This information is placed in the History-Info header field, which, except where prevented by privacy considerations, is built up as the request progresses and, upon reaching the UAS, is returned in certain responses. History-Info, when deployed at relevant SIP entities, is intended to provide a comprehensive trace of retargeting for a SIP request, along with the SIP response codes that led to retargeting.Jennings, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 2006 History-Info can complement this specification. In particular, when a proxy inserts a URI containing the parameters defined in this specification into the Request-URI of a forwarded request, the proxy can also insert a History-Info header field entry into the forwarded request, and the URI in that entry will incorporate these parameters. Therefore, even if the Request-URI is replaced as a result of rerouting by a downstream proxy, the History-Info header field will still contain these parameters, which may be of use to the UAS. Consequently, UASes that make use of this information may find the information in the History-Info header and/or in the Request-URI, depending on the capability of the proxy to support generation of History-Info or on the behavior of downstream proxies; therefore, applications need to take this into account.4. Limitations of Voicemail URI This specification requires the proxy that is requesting the service to understand whether the UM system it is targeting supports the syntax defined in this specification. Today, this information is provided to the proxy by configuration. For practical purposes, this means that the approach is unlikely to work in cases in which the proxy is not configured with information about the UM system or in which the UM is not in the same administrative domain. This approach only works when the service that the call control wants applied is fairly simple. For example, it does not allow the proxy to express information like "Do not offer to connect to the target's colleague because that address has already been tried". The limitations discussed in this section are addressed by History- Info [6].5. Syntax The ABNF[4] grammar for these parameters is shown below. The definitions of pvalue and Status-Code are defined in the ABNF inRFC3261[1]. target-param = "target" EQUAL pvalue cause-param = "cause" EQUAL Status-Code Note that the ABNF requires some characters to be escaped if they occur in the value of the target parameters. For example, the "@" character needs to be escaped.Jennings, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 20066. Examples This section provides some example use cases for the solution proposed in this document. For the purpose of this document, UM is used as the main example, but other applications may use this mechanism. The examples are intended to highlight the potential applicability of this solution and are not intended to limit its applicability. Also, the examples show just service retargeting on busy, but can easily be adapted to show other forms of retargeting. In several of the examples, the URIs are broken across more than one line. This was only done for formatting and is not a valid SIP message. Some of the characters in the URIs are not correctly escaped to improve readability. The examples are all shown using sip: with UDP transport, for readability. It should be understood that using sips: with TLS transport is preferable.6.1. Proxy Forwards Busy to Voicemail In this example, Alice calls Bob. Bob's proxy determines that Bob is busy, and the proxy forwards the call to Bob's voicemail. Alice's phone is at 192.0.2.1, while Bob's phone is at 192.0.2.2. The important thing to note is the URI in message F7.

Zero Configuration UM System In this example, the UM system has no configuration information specific to any user. The proxy is configured to pass a URI that provides the prompt to play and an email address in the user portion of the URI to which the recorded message is to be sent. The call flow is the same as inSection 6.1, except that the URI in F7 changes to specify the user part as Bob's email address, and the Netann [7] URI play parameter specifies where the greeting to play can be fetched from.Jennings, et al.

Call Coverage In a Call Coverage example, a user on the PSTN calls an 800 number. The gateway sends this to the proxy, which recognizes that the helpdesk is the target. Alice and Bob are staffing the help desk and are tried sequentially, but neither answers, so the call is forwarded to the helpdesk's voicemail. The details of this flow are trivial and not shown. The key item in this example is that the INVITE to Alice and Bob looks as follows: INVITE sip:voicemail@example.com;target=helpdesk%40example.com;\ cause=302 SIP/2.07.

RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 20068. Security Considerations This document discusses transactions involving at least three parties, which increases the complexity of the privacy issues. The new URI parameters defined in this document are generally sent from a Proxy or call control system to a Unified Messaging (UM) system or to a gateway to the PSTN and then to a voicemail system. These new parameters tell the UM what service the proxy wishes to have performed. Just as any message sent from the proxy to the UM needs to be integrity protected, these messages need to be integrity protected to stop attackers from, for example, causing a voicemail meant for a company's CEO to go to an attacker's mailbox.RFC 3261 provides a TLS mechanism suitable for performing this integrity protection. The signaling from the Proxy to the UM or gateway will reveal who is calling whom and possibly some information about a user's presence based on whether the call was answered or sent to voicemail. This information can be protected by encrypting the SIP traffic between the Proxy and UM or gateway. Again,RFC 3261 contains mechanisms for accomplishing this using TLS. Implementations should implement and use TLS.8.1. Integrity Protection of Forwarding in SIP The forwarding of a call in SIP brings up a very strange trust issue. Consider the normal case -- A calls B and the call gets forwarded to C by a network element in B's domain, and then C answers the call. A has called B but ended up talking to C. This scenario may be hard to separate from a man-in-the-middle attack. There are two possible solutions. One is that B sends back information to A saying don't call me, call C, and signs it as B. The problem is that this solution involves revealing that B has forwarded to C, which B often may not want to do. For example, B may be a work phone that has been forwarded to a mobile or home phone. The user does not want to reveal their mobile or home phone number but, even more importantly, does not want to reveal that they are not in the office. The other possible solution is that A needs to trust B only to forward to a trusted identity. This requires a hop-by-hop transitive trust such that each hop will only send to a trusted next hop and each hop will only do things that the user at that hop desired. ThisJennings, et al. Informational [Page 16]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 2006 solution is enforced in SIP using the SIPS URI and TLS-based hop-by-hop security. It protects from an off-axis attack, but if one of the hops is not trustworthy, the call may be diverted to an attacker. Any redirection of a call to an attacker's mailbox is serious. It is trivial for an attacker to make its mailbox seem very much like the real mailbox and forward the messages to the real mailbox so that the fact that the messages have been intercepted or even tampered with escapes detection. Approaches such as the SIPS URL and the History-Info[6] can help protect against these attacks.8.2. Privacy Related Issues on the Second Call Leg In the case where A calls B and gets redirected to C, occasionally people suggest that there is a requirement for the call leg from B to C to be anonymous. The SIP case is not the PSTN, and there is no call leg from B to C; instead, there is a VoIP session between A and C. If A has put a To header field value containing B in the initial invite message, unless something special is done about it, C would see that To header field value. If the person who answers phone C says "I think you dialed the wrong number; who were you trying to reach?", A will probably specify B. If A does not want C to see that the call was to B, A needs a special relationship with the forwarding Proxy to induce it not to reveal that information. The call should go through an anonymization service that provides session or user level privacy (as described inRFC 3323 [2]) service before going to C. It is not hard to figure out how to meet this requirement, but it is unclear why anyone would want this service. The scenario in which B wants to make sure that C does not see that the call was to B is easier to deal with but a bit weird. The usual argument is that Bill wants to forward his phone to Monica but does not want Monica to find out his phone number. It is hard to imagine that Monica would want to accept all Bill's calls without knowing how to call Bill to complain. The only person Monica will be able to complain to is Hillary, when she tries to call Bill. Several popular web portals will send SMS alert messages about things like stock prices and weather to mobile phone users today. Some of these contain no information about the account on the web portal that initiated them, making it nearly impossible for the mobile phone owner to stop them. This anonymous message forwarding has turned out to be a really bad idea even where no malice is present. Clearly some people are fairly dubious about the need for this, but never mind: let's look at how it is solved.Jennings, et al. Informational [Page 17]
RFC 4458 SIP Voicemail URI April 2006 In the general case, the proxy needs to route the call through an anonymization service and everything will be cleaned up. Any anonymization service that performs the "Privacy: Header" Service inRFC 3323 [2] must remove the cause and target URI parameters from the URI. Privacy of the parameters, when they form part of a URI within the History-Info header, is covered in History-Info [6]. This specification does not discuss the security considerations of mapping to a PSTN Gateway. Security implications of mapping to ISUP, for example, are discussed inRFC 3398 [5].9.
