RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 20091.  Introduction   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] is the subject of   numerous specifications that have been produced by the IETF.  It can   be difficult to locate the right document, or even to determine the   set of Request for Comments (RFC) about SIP.  "Don't Panic!"  [HGTTG]   This specification serves as a guide to the SIP RFC series.  It is a   current snapshot of the specifications under the SIP umbrella at the   time of publication.  It is anticipated that this document itself   will be regularly updated as SIP specifications mature.  Furthermore,   it references many specifications, which, at the time of publication   of this document, were not yet finalized, and may eventually be   completed or abandoned.  Therefore, the enumeration of specifications   here is a work-in-progress and subject to change.   For each specification, a paragraph or so description is included   that summarizes the purpose of the specification.  Each specification   also includes a letter that designates its category in the Standards   Track [RFC2026].  These values are:   S: Standards Track (Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, or Standard)   E: Experimental   B: Best Current Practice   I: Informational   The specifications are grouped together by topic.  The topics are:   Core:  The SIP specifications that are expected to be utilized for      each session or registration an endpoint participates in.   Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) Interop:  Specifications      related to interworking with the telephone network.   General Purpose Infrastructure:  General purpose extensions to SIP,      SDP (Session Description Protocol), and MIME, but ones that are      not expected to always be used.   NAT Traversal:  Specifications to deal with firewall and NAT      traversal.   Call Control Primitives:  Specifications for manipulating SIP dialogs      and calls.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 2]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009   Event Framework:  Definitions of the core specifications for the SIP      event framework, providing for pub/sub capability.   Event Packages:  Packages that utilize the SIP event framework.   Quality of Service:  Specifications related to multimedia quality of      service (QoS).   Operations and Management:  Specifications related to configuration      and monitoring of SIP deployments.   SIP Compression:  Specifications to facilitate usage of SIP with the      Signaling Compression (Sigcomp) framework.   SIP Service URIs:  Specifications on how to use SIP URIs to address      multimedia services.   Minor Extensions:  Specifications that solve a narrow problem space      or provide an optimization.   Security Mechanisms:  Specifications providing security functionality      for SIP.   Conferencing:  Specifications for multimedia conferencing.   Instant Messaging, Presence, and Multimedia:  SIP extensions related      to IM, presence, and multimedia.  This covers only the SIP      extensions related to these topics.  See [SIMPLE] for a full      treatment of SIP for IM and Presence (SIMPLE).   Emergency Services:  SIP extensions related to emergency services.      See [ECRIT-FRAME] for a more complete treatment of additional      functionality related to emergency services.   Typically, SIP extensions fit naturally into topic areas, and   implementors interested in a particular topic often implement many or   all of the specifications in that area.  There are some   specifications that fall into multiple topic areas, in which case   they are listed more than once.   Do not print all the specs cited here at once, as they might share   the fate of the rules of Brockian Ultracricket when bound together:   collapse under their own gravity and form a black hole [HGTTG].   This document itself is not an update toRFC 3261 or an extension to   SIP.  It is an informational document, meant to guide newcomers,   implementors, and deployers to the many specifications associated   with SIP.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 20092.  Scope of This Document   It is very difficult to enumerate the set of SIP specifications.   This is because there are many protocols that are intimately related   to SIP and used by nearly all SIP implementations, but are not   formally SIP extensions.  As such, this document formally defines a   "SIP specification" as:   oRFC 3261 and any specification that defines an extension to it,      where an extension is a mechanism that changes or updates in some      way a behavior specified there.   o  The basic SDP specification [RFC4566] and any specification that      defines an extension to SDP whose primary purpose is to support      SIP.   o  Any specification that defines a MIME object whose primary purpose      is to support SIP.   Excluded from this list are requirements, architectures, registry   definitions, non-normative frameworks, and processes.  Best Current   Practices are included when they normatively define mechanisms for   accomplishing a task, or provide significant description of the usage   of the normative specifications, such as call flows.   The SIP change process [RFC3427] defines two types of extensions to   SIP: normal extensions and the so-called P-headers (where P stands   for "preliminary", "private", or "proprietary", and the "P-" prefix   is included in the header field name), which are meant to be used in   areas of limited applicability.  P-headers cannot be defined in the   Standards Track.  For the most part, P-headers are not included in   the listing here, with the exception of those that have seen general   usage despite their P-header status.   This document includes specifications, which have already been   approved by the IETF and granted an RFC number, in addition to   Internet Drafts, which are still under development within the IETF   and will eventually finish and get an RFC number.  Inclusion of   Internet Drafts here helps encourage early implementation and   demonstrations of interoperability of the protocol, and thus aids in   the standards-setting process.  Inclusion of these also identifes   where the IETF is targetting a solution at a particular problem   space.  Note that final IANA assignment of codepoints (such as option   tags and header field names) does not take place until shortly before   publication as an RFC, and thus codepoint assignments may change.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 20093.  Core SIP Specifications   The core SIP specifications represent the set of specifications whose   functionality is broadly applicable.  An extension is broadly   applicable if it fits into one of the following categories:   o  For specifications that impact SIP session management, the      extension would be used for almost every session initiated by a      user agent.   o  For specifications that impact SIP registrations, the extension      would be used for almost every registration initiated by a user      agent.   o  For specifications that impact SIP subscriptions, the extension      would be used for almost every subscription initiated by a user      agent.   In other words, these are not specifications that are used just for   some requests and not others; they are specifications that would   apply to each and every request for which the extension is relevant.   In the galaxy of SIP, these specifications are like towels [HGTTG].RFC 3261, The Session Initiation Protocol (S):  [RFC3261] is the core      SIP protocol itself.RFC 3261 obsoletes [RFC2543].  It is the      president of the galaxy [HGTTG] as far as the suite of SIP      specifications is concerned.RFC 3263, Locating SIP Servers (S):  [RFC3263] provides DNS      procedures for taking a SIP URI and determining a SIP server that      is associated with that SIP URI.RFC 3263 is essential for any      implementation using SIP with DNS.RFC 3263 makes use of both DNS      SRV records [RFC2782] and NAPTR records [RFC3401].RFC 3264, An Offer/Answer Model with the Session Description Protocol   (S):  [RFC3264] defines how the Session Description Protocol (SDP)      [RFC4566] is used with SIP to negotiate the parameters of a media      session.  It is in widespread usage and an integral part of the      behavior ofRFC 3261.RFC 3265, SIP-Specific Event Notification (S):  [RFC3265] defines the      SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY methods.  These two methods provide a general      event notification framework for SIP.  To actually use the      framework, extensions need to be defined for specific event      packages.  An event package defines a schema for the event data      and describes other aspects of event processing specific to that      schema.  AnRFC 3265 implementation is required when any event      package is used.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 5]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3325, Private Extensions to SIP for Asserted Identity within   Trusted Networks (I):  Though its P-header status implies that it has      limited applicability, [RFC3325], which defines the P-Asserted-      Identity header field, has been widely deployed.  It is used as      the basic mechanism for providing network-asserted caller ID      services.  Its intended update, [UPDATE-PAI], clarifies its usage      for connected party identification as well.RFC 3327, SIP Extension Header Field for Registering Non-Adjacent   Contacts (S):  [RFC3327] defines the Path header field.  This field      is inserted by proxies between a client and their registrar.  It      allows inbound requests towards that client to traverse these      proxies prior to being delivered to the user agent.  It is      essential in any SIP deployment that has edge proxies, which are      proxies between the client and the home proxy or SIP registrar.RFC 3581, An Extension to SIP for Symmetric Response Routing (S):      [RFC3581] defines the rport parameter of the Via header.  It      allows SIP responses to traverse NAT.  It is one of several      specifications that are utilized for NAT traversal (seeSection 6).RFC 3840, Indicating User Agent Capabilities in SIP (S):  [RFC3840]      defines a mechanism for carrying capability information about a      user agent in REGISTER requests and in dialog-forming requests      like INVITE.  It has found use with conferencing (the isfocus      parameter declares that a user agent is a conference server) and      with applications like push-to-talk.RFC 4320, Actions Addressing Issues Identified with the Non-INVITE   Transaction in SIP (S):  [RFC4320] formally updatesRFC 3261 and      modifies some of the behaviors associated with non-INVITE      transactions.  This addresses some problems found in timeout and      failure cases.RFC 4474, Enhancements for Authenticated Identity Management in SIP   (S):  [RFC4474] defines a mechanism for providing a cryptographically      verifiable identity of the calling party in a SIP request.  Known      as "SIP Identity", this mechanism provides an alternative toRFC3325.  It has seen little deployment so far, but its importance as      a key construct for anti-spam techniques and new security      mechanisms makes it a core part of the SIP specifications.   GRUU, Obtaining and Using Globally Routable User Agent Identifiers   (GRUU) in SIP (S):  [GRUU] defines a mechanism for directing requests      towards a specific UA instance.  GRUU is essential for features      like transfer and provides another piece of the SIP NAT traversal      story.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009   OUTBOUND, Managing Client Initiated Connections through SIP (S):      [OUTBOUND], also known as SIP outbound, defines important changes      to the SIP registration mechanism that enable delivery of SIP      messages towards a UA when it is behind a NAT.  This specification      is the cornerstone of the SIP NAT traversal strategy.RFC 4566, Session Description Protocol (S):  [RFC4566] defines a      format for representing multimedia sessions.  SDP objects are      carried in the body of SIP messages and, based on the offer/answer      model, are used to negotiate the media characteristics of a      session between users.   SDP-CAP, SDP Capability Negotiation (S):  [SDP-CAP] defines a set of      extensions to SDP that allows for capability negotiation within      SDP.  Capability negotiation can be used to select between      different profiles of RTP (secure vs. unsecure) or to negotiate      codecs such that an agent has to select one amongst a set of      supported codecs.   ICE, Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) (S):  [ICE] defines      a technique for NAT traversal of media sessions for protocols that      make use of the offer/answer model.  This specification is the      IETF-recommended mechanism for NAT traversal for SIP media      streams, and is meant to be used even by endpoints that are      themselves never behind a NAT.  A SIP option tag and media feature      tag [OPTION-TAG] (also a core specification) have been defined for      use with ICE.RFC 3605, Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) Attribute in the Session   Description Protocol (SDP) (S):  [RFC3605] defines a way to      explicitly signal, within an SDP message, the IP address and port      for RTCP, rather than using the port+1 rule in the Real Time      Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550].  It is needed for devices      behind NAT, and the specification is required by ICE.RFC 4916, Connected Identity in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)   (S):  [RFC4916] formally updatesRFC 3261.  It defines an extension      to SIP that allows a calling user to determine the identity of the      final called user (connected party).  Due to forwarding and      retargeting services, this may not be the same as the user that      the caller was originally trying to reach.  The mechanism works in      tandem with the SIP identity specification [RFC4474] to provide      signatures over the connected party identity.  It can also be used      if a party identity changes mid-call due to third-party call      control actions or PSTN behavior.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 7]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3311, The SIP UPDATE Method (S):  [RFC3311] defines the UPDATE      method for SIP.  This method is meant as a means for updating      session information prior to the completion of the initial INVITE      transaction.  It can also be used to update other information,      such as the identity of the participant [RFC4916], without      involving an updated offer/answer exchange.  It was developed      initially to support [RFC3312], but has found other uses.  In      particular, its usage withRFC 4916 means it will typically be      used as part of every session, to convey a secure, connected      identity.   SIPS-URI, The Use of the SIPS URI Scheme in the Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP) (S):  [SIPS-URI] is intended to updateRFC 3261.  It      revises the processing of the SIPS URI, originally defined inRFC3261, to fix many errors and problems that have been encountered      with that mechanism.RFC 3665, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Basic Call Flow Examples   (B):  [RFC3665] contains best-practice call flow examples for basic      SIP interactions -- call establishment, termination, and      registration.   Essential Corrections to SIP:  A collection of fixes to SIP that      address important bugs and vulnerabilities.  These include a fix      requiring loop detection in any proxy that forks [LOOP-FIX], a      clarification on how record-routing works [RECORD-ROUTE], and a      correction to the IPv6 BNF [ABNF-FIX].4.  Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) Interworking   Numerous extensions and usages of SIP are related to interoperability   and communications with or through the PSTN.RFC 2848, The PINT Service Protocol (S):  [RFC2848] is one of the      earliest extensions to SIP.  It defines procedures for using SIP      to invoke services that actually execute on the PSTN.  Its main      application is for third-party call control, allowing an IP host      to set up a call between two PSTN endpoints.  PINT (PSTN/Internet      Interworking) has a relatively narrow focus and has not seen      widespread deployment.RFC 3910, The SPIRITS Protocol (S):  Continuing the trend of naming      PSTN-related extensions with alcohol references, SPIRITS (Services      in PSTN Requesting Internet Services) [RFC3910] defines the      inverse of PINT.  It allows a switch in the PSTN to ask an IP      element how to proceed with call waiting.  It was developed      primarily to support Internet Call Waiting (ICW).  Perhaps the      next specification will be called the Pan Galactic Gargle BlasterRosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 8]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009      [HGTTG].RFC 3372, SIP for Telephones (SIP-T): Context and Architectures (I):      SIP-T [RFC3372] defines a mechanism for using SIP between pairs of      PSTN gateways.  Its essential idea is to tunnel ISDN User Part      (ISUP) signaling between the gateways in the body of SIP messages.      SIP-T motivated the development of INFO [RFC2976].  SIP-T has seen      widespread implementation for the limited deployment model that it      addresses.  As ISUP endpoints disappear from the network, the need      for this mechanism will decrease.RFC 3398, ISUP to SIP Mapping (S):  [RFC3398] defines how to do      protocol mapping from the SS7 ISDN User Part (ISUP) signaling to      SIP.  It is widely used in SS7 to SIP gateways and is part of the      SIP-T framework.RFC 4497, Interworking between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)   and QSIG (B):  [RFC4497] defines how to do protocol mapping from      Q.SIG, used for Private Branch Exchange (PBX) signaling, to SIP.RFC 3578, Mapping of ISUP Overlap Signaling to SIP (S):  [RFC3578]      defines a mechanism to map overlap dialing into SIP.  This      specification is widely regarded as the ugliest SIP specification,      as the introduction to the specification itself advises that it      has many problems.  Overlap signaling (the practice of sending      digits into the network as dialed instead of waiting for complete      collection of the called party number) is largely incompatible      with SIP at some fairly fundamental levels.  That said,RFC 3578      is mostly harmless and has seen some usage.RFC 3960, Early Media and Ringtone Generation in SIP (I):  [RFC3960]      defines some guidelines for handling early media -- the practice      of sending media from the called party or an application server      towards the caller prior to acceptance of the call.  Early media      is often generated from the PSTN.  Early media is a complex topic,      and this specification does not fully address the problems      associated with it.RFC 3959, Early Session Disposition Type for the Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP) (S):  [RFC3959] defines a new session disposition type      for use with early media.  It indicates that the SDP in the body      is for a special early media session.  This has seen little usage.RFC 3204, MIME Media Types for ISUP and QSIG Objects (S):  [RFC3204]      defines MIME objects for representing SS7 and QSIG signaling      messages.  SS7 signaling messages are carried in the body of SIP      messages when SIP-T is used.  QSIG signaling messages can be      carried in a similar way.Rosenberg                     Informational                     [Page 9]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC3666, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Public Switched Telephone   Network (PSTN) Call Flows (B):  [RFC3666] provides best practice call      flows around interworking with the PSTN.5.  General Purpose Infrastructure Extensions   These extensions are general purpose enhancements to SIP, SDP, and   MIME that can serve a wide variety of uses.  However, they are not   used for every session or registration, as the core specifications   are.RFC 3262, Reliability of Provisional Responses in SIP (S):  SIP      defines two types of responses to a request: final and      provisional.  Provisional responses are numbered from 100 to 199.      In SIP, these responses are not sent reliably.  This choice was      made inRFC 2543 since the messages were meant to just be truly      informational and rendered to the user.  However, subsequent work      on PSTN interworking demonstrated a need to map provisional      responses to PSTN messages that needed to be sent reliably.      [RFC3262] was developed to allow reliability of provisional      responses.  The specification defines the PRACK method, used for      indicating that a provisional response was received.  Though it      provides a generic capability for SIP,RFC 3262 implementations      have been most common in PSTN interworking devices.  However,      PRACK brings a great deal of complication for relatively small      benefit.  As such, it has seen only moderate levels of deployment.RFC 3323, A Privacy Mechanism for the Session Initiation Protocol   (SIP) (S):  [RFC3323] defines the Privacy header field, used by      clients to request anonymity for their requests.  Though it      defines several privacy services, the only one broadly used is the      one that supports privacy of the P-Asserted-Identity header field      [RFC3325].   UA-PRIVACY, UA-Driven Privacy Mechanism for SIP (S):  [UA-PRIVACY]      defines a mechanism for achieving anonymous calls in SIP.  It is      an alternative to [RFC3323], and instead places more intelligence      in the endpoint to craft anonymous messages by directly accessing      network services.RFC 2976, The INFO Method (S):  [RFC2976] was defined as an extension      toRFC 2543.  It defines a method, INFO, used to transport mid-      dialog information that has no impact on SIP itself.  Its driving      application was the transport of PSTN-related information when      using SIP between a pair of gateways.  Though originally conceived      for broader use, it only found standardized usage with SIP-T      [RFC3372].  It has been used to support numerous proprietary and      non-interoperable extensions due to its poorly defined scope.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3326, The Reason Header Field for SIP (S):  [RFC3326] defines the      Reason header field.  It is used in requests, such as BYE, to      indicate the reason that the request is being sent.RFC 3388, Grouping of Media Lines in the Session Description Protocol   (S):RFC 3388 [RFC3388] defines a framework for grouping together      media streams in an SDP message.  Such a grouping allows      relationships between these streams, such as which stream is the      audio for a particular video feed, to be expressed.RFC 3420, Internet Media Type message/sipfrag (S):  [RFC3420] defines      a MIME object that contains a SIP message fragment.  Only certain      header fields and parts of the SIP message are present.  For      example, it is used to report back on the responses received to a      request sent as a consequence of a REFER.RFC 3608, SIP Extension Header Field for Service Route Discovery   During Registration (S):  [RFC3608] allows a client to determine,      from a REGISTER response, a path of proxies to use in requests it      sends outside of a dialog.  It can also be used by proxies to      verify the Route header in client-initiated requests.  In many      respects, it is the inverse of the Path header field, but has seen      less usage since default outbound proxies have been sufficient in      many deployments.RFC 3841, Caller Preferences for SIP (S):  [RFC3841] defines a set of      headers that a client can include in a request to control the way      in which the request is routed downstream.  It allows a client to      direct a request towards a UA with specific capabilities, which a      UA indicates using [RFC3840].RFC 4028, Session Timers in SIP (S):  [RFC4028] defines a keepalive      mechanism for SIP signaling.  It is primarily meant to provide a      way to clean up old state in proxies that are holding call state      for calls from failed endpoints that were never terminated      normally.  Despite its name, the session timer is not a mechanism      for detecting a network failure mid-call.  Session timers      introduce a fair bit of complexity for relatively little gain, and      have seen moderate deployment.RFC 4168, SCTP as a Transport for SIP (S):  [RFC4168] defines how to      carry SIP messages over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol      (SCTP) [RFC4960].  SCTP has seen very limited usage for SIP      transport.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 4244, An Extension to SIP for Request History Information (S):      [RFC4244] defines the History-Info header field, which indicates      information on how and why a call came to be routed to a      particular destination.RFC 4145, TCP-Based Media Transport in the Session Description   Protocol (SDP) (S):  [RFC4145] defines an extension to SDP for      setting up TCP-based sessions between user agents.  It defines who      sets up the connection and how its lifecycle is managed.  It has      seen relatively little usage due to the small number of media      types to date that use TCP.RFC 4091, The Alternative Network Address Types (ANAT) Semantics for   the Session Description Protocol (SDP) Grouping Framework (S):      [RFC4091] defines a mechanism for including both IPv4 and IPv6      addresses for a media session as alternates.  This mechanism has      been deprecated in favor of ICE [ICE].   SDP-MEDIA, SDP Media Capabilities Negotiation (S):  [SDP-MEDIA]      defines an extension to the SDP capability negotiation framework      [SDP-CAP] for negotiating codecs, codec parameters, and media      streams.   BODY-HANDLING, Message Body Handling in the Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP):  [BODY-HANDLING] clarifies handling of bodies in SIP,      focusing primarily on multi-part behavior, which was under-      specified in SIP.6.  NAT Traversal   These SIP extensions are primarily aimed at addressing NAT traversal   for SIP.   ICE, Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) (S):  [ICE] defines      a technique for NAT traversal of media sessions for protocols that      make use of the offer/answer model.  This specification is the      IETF-recommended mechanism for NAT traversal for SIP media      streams, and is meant to be used even by endpoints that are      themselves never behind a NAT.  A SIP option tag and media feature      tag [OPTION-TAG] have been defined for use with ICE.   ICE-TCP, TCP Candidates with Interactive Connectivity Establishment   (ICE) (S):  [ICE-TCP] specifies the usage of ICE for TCP streams.      This allows for selection of RTP-based voice on top of TCP only      when NAT or firewalls would prevent UDP-based voice from working.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 12]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3605, Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) Attribute in the Session   Description Protocol (SDP) (S):  [RFC3605] defines a way to      explicitly signal, within an SDP message, the IP address and port      for RTCP, rather than using the port+1 rule in the Real Time      Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550].  It is needed for devices      behind NAT, and the specification is required by ICE.   OUTBOUND, Managing Client Initiated Connections through SIP (S):      [OUTBOUND], also known as SIP outbound, defines important changes      to the SIP registration mechanism that enable delivery of SIP      messages towards a UA when it is behind a NAT.RFC 3581, An Extension to SIP for Symmetric Response Routing (S):      [RFC3581] defines the rport parameter of the Via header.  It      allows SIP responses to traverse NAT.   GRUU, Obtaining and Using Globally Routable User Agent Identifiers   (GRUU) in SIP (S):  [GRUU] defines a mechanism for directing requests      towards a specific UA instance.  GRUU is essential for features      like transfer and provides another piece of the SIP NAT traversal      story.7.  Call Control Primitives   Numerous SIP extensions provide a toolkit of dialog- and call-   management techniques.  These techniques have been combined together   to build many SIP-based services.RFC 3515, The REFER Method (S):  REFER [RFC3515] defines a mechanism      for asking a user agent to send a SIP request.  It's a form of SIP      remote control, and is the primary tool used for call transfer in      SIP.  Beware that not all potential uses of REFER (neither for all      methods nor for all URI schemes) are well defined.  Implementors      should only use the well-defined ones, and should not second guess      or freely assume behavior for the others to avoid unexpected      behavior of remote UAs, interoperability issues, and other bad      surprises.RFC 3725, Best Current Practices for Third Party Call Control (3pcc)   (B):  [RFC3725] defines a number of different call flows that allow      one SIP entity, called the controller, to create SIP sessions      amongst other SIP user agents.RFC 3911, The SIP Join Header Field (S):  [RFC3911] defines the Join      header field.  When sent in an INVITE, it causes the recipient to      join the resulting dialog into a conference with another dialog in      progress.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 13]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3891, The SIP Replaces Header (S):  [RFC3891] defines a mechanism      that allows a new dialog to replace an existing dialog.  It is      useful for certain advanced transfer services.RFC 3892, The SIP Referred-By Mechanism (S):  [RFC3892] defines the      Referred-By header field.  It is used in requests triggered by      REFER, and provides the identity of the referring party to the      referred-to party.RFC 4117, Transcoding Services Invocation in SIP Using Third Party   Call Control (I):  [RFC4117] defines how to use 3pcc for the purposes      of invoking transcoding services for a call.8.  Event FrameworkRFC 3265, SIP-Specific Event Notification (S):  [RFC3265] defines the      SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY methods.  These two methods provide a general      event notification framework for SIP.  To actually use the      framework, extensions need to be defined for specific event      packages.  An event package defines a schema for the event data      and describes other aspects of event processing specific to that      schema.  AnRFC 3265 implementation is required when any event      package is used.RFC 3903, SIP Extension for Event State Publication (S):  [RFC3903]      defines the PUBLISH method.  It is not an event package, but is      used by all event packages as a mechanism for pushing an event      into the system.RFC 4662, A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Notification   Extension for Resource Lists (S):  [RFC4662] defines an extension toRFC 3265 that allows a client to subscribe to a list of resources      using a single subscription.  The server, called a Resource List      Server (RLS), will "expand" the subscription and subscribe to each      individual member of the list.  It has found applicability      primarily in the area of presence, but can be used with any event      package.   SUBNOT-ETAGS, An Extension to Session Initiation Protocol  (SIP)   Events for Conditional Event Notification (S):  [SUBNOT-ETAGS]      defines an extension toRFC 3265 to optimize the performance of      notifications.  When a client subscribes, it can indicate what      version of a document it has so that the server can skip sending a      notification if the client is up-to-date.  It is applicable to any      event package.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 14]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 20099.  Event Packages   These are event packages defined to utilize the SIP events framework.   Many of these are also listed elsewhere in their respective areas.RFC 3680, A SIP Event Package for Registrations (S):  [RFC3680]      defines an event package for finding out about changes in      registration state.   GRUU-REG (S):  [GRUU-REG] is an extension to the registration event      package [RFC3680] that allows user agents to learn about their      GRUUs.  It is particularly useful in helping to synchronize a      client and its registrar with their currently valid temporary      GRUU.RFC 3842, A Message Summary and Message Waiting Indication Event   Package for SIP (S):  [RFC3842] defines a way for a user agent to      find out about voicemails and other messages that are waiting for      it.  Its primary purpose is to enable the voicemail waiting lamp      on most business telephones.RFC 3856, A Presence Event Package for SIP (S):  [RFC3856] defines an      event package for indicating user presence through SIP.RFC 3857, A Watcher Information Event Template Package for SIP (S):      [RFC3857], also known as winfo, provides a mechanism for a user      agent to find out what subscriptions are in place for a particular      event package.  Its primary usage is with presence, but it can be      used with any event package.RFC 4235, An INVITE-Initiated Dialog Event Package for SIP (S):      [RFC4235] defines an event package for learning the state of the      dialogs in progress at a user agent, and is one of several RFCs      starting with the important number 42 [HGTTG].RFC 4575, A SIP Event Package for Conference State (S):  [RFC4575]      defines a mechanism for learning about changes in conference      state, including conference membership.RFC 4730, A SIP Event Package for Key Press Stimulus (KPML) (S):      [RFC4730] defines a way for an application in the network to      subscribe to the set of key presses made on the keypad of a      traditional telephone.  It, along withRFC 4733 [RFC4733], are the      two mechanisms defined for handling DTMF.RFC 4730 is a      signaling-path solution, andRFC 4733 is a media-path solution.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 15]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009   RTCP-SUM, SIP Event Package for Voice Quality Reporting  (S):      [RTCP-SUM] defines a SIP event package that enables the collection      and reporting of metrics that measure the quality for Voice over      Internet Protocol (VoIP) sessions.   SESSION-POLICY, A Framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)   Session Policies (S):  [SESSION-POLICY] defines a framework for      session policies.  In this framework, policy servers are used to      tell user agents about the media characteristics required for a      particular session.  The session policy framework has not been      widely implemented.   POLICY-PACK, A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Package for   Session-Specific Session Policies (S):  [POLICY-PACK] defines a SIP      event package used in conjunction with the session policy      framework [SESSION-POLICY].RFC 5362, The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Pending Additions   Event Package (S):  [RFC5362] defines a SIP event package that allows      a UA to learn whether consent has been given for the addition of      an address to a SIP "mailing list".  It is used in conjunction      with the SIP framework for consent [RFC5360].10.  Quality of Service   Several specifications concern themselves with the interactions of   SIP with network Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms.RFC 3312, Integration of Resource Management and SIP (S):  [RFC3312],      updated by [RFC4032], defines a way to make sure that the phone of      the called party doesn't ring until a QoS reservation has been      installed in the network.  It does so by defining a general      preconditions framework, which defines conditions that must be      true in order for a SIP session to proceed.   QoS-ID, Quality of Service (QoS) Mechanism Selection in the Session   Description Protocol (SDP) (S):  [QoS-ID] defines a way for user      agents to negotiate what type of end-to-end QoS mechanism to use      for a session.  At this time, there are two that can be used: the      Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) and Next Steps in Signaling      (NSIS).  This negotiation is done through an SDP extension.  Due      to limited deployment of RSVP and even more limited deployment of      NSIS, this extension has not been widely used.RFC 3313, Private SIP Extensions for Media Authorization (I):      [RFC3313] defines a P-header that provides a mechanism for passing      an authorization token between SIP and a network QoS reservation      protocol like RSVP.  Its purpose is to make sure network QoS isRosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 16]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009      only granted if a client has made a SIP call through the same      provider's network.  This specification is sometimes referred to      as the SIP walled-garden specification by the truly paranoid      androids in the SIP community.  This is because it requires      coupling of signaling and the underlying IP network.RFC 3524, Mapping of Media Streams to Resource Reservation Flows   (S):  [RFC3524] defines a usage of the SDP grouping framework for      indicating that a set of media streams should be handled by a      single resource reservation.11.  Operations and Management   Several specifications have been defined to support operations and   management of SIP systems.  These include mechanisms for   configuration and network diagnostics.   CONFIG-FRAME, A Framework for SIP User Agent Profile Delivery (S):      [CONFIG-FRAME] defines a mechanism that allows a SIP user agent to      bootstrap its configuration from the network and receive updates      to its configuration, should it change.  This is considered an      essential piece of deploying a usable SIP network.   RTCP-SUM, SIP Event Package for Voice Quality Reporting  (S):      [RTCP-SUM] defines a SIP event package that enables the collection      and reporting of metrics that measure the quality for Voice over      Internet Protocol (VoIP) sessions.12.  SIP Compression   Sigcomp [RFC3320] [RFC4896] was defined to allow compression of SIP   messages over low bandwidth links.  Sigcomp is not formally part of   SIP.  However, usage of Sigcomp with SIP has required extensions to   SIP.RFC 3486, Compressing SIP (S):  [RFC3486] defines a SIP URI parameter      that can be used to indicate that a SIP server supports Sigcomp.RFC 5049, Applying Signaling Compression (SigComp) to the Session   Initiation Protocol (SIP) (S):  [RFC5049] defines how to apply      Sigcomp to SIP.13.  SIP Service URIs   Several extensions define well-known services that can be invoked by   constructing requests with specific structures for the Request URI,   resulting in specific behaviors at the User Agent Server (UAS).Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 17]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3087, Control of Service Context using Request URI (I):      [RFC3087] introduced the context of using Request URIs, encoded      appropriately, to invoke services.RFC 4662, A SIP Event Notification Extension for Resource Lists (S):      [RFC4662] defines a resource called a Resource List Server (RLS).      A client can send a subscribe to this server.  The server will      generate a series of subscriptions, compile the resulting      information, and send it back to the subscriber.  The set of      resources that the RLS will subscribe to is a property of the      request URI in the SUBSCRIBE request.RFC 5363, Framework and Security Considerations for Session   Initiation Protocol (SIP) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)-List   Services (S):  [RFC5363] defines the framework for list services in      SIP.  In this framework, a UA can include an XML list object in      the body of various requests and the server will provide list-      oriented services as a consequence.  For example, a SUBSCRIBE with      a list subscribes to the URI in the list.RFC 5367, Subscriptions To Request-Contained Resource Lists in SIP   (S):  [RFC5367] uses the URI-list framework [RFC5363] and allows a      client to subscribe to a resource called a Resource List Server.      This server will generate subscriptions to the URI in the list,      compile the resulting information, and send it back to the      subscriber.RFC 5365, Multiple-Recipient MESSAGE Requests in SIP (S):  [RFC5365]      uses the URI-list framework [RFC5363] and allows a client to send      a MESSAGE to a number of recipients.RFC 5366, Conference Establishment Using Request-Contained Lists in   SIP (S):  [RFC5366] uses the URI-list framework [RFC5363].  It allows      a client to ask the server to act as a conference focus and send      an invitation to each recipient in the list.RFC 4240, Basic Network Media Services with SIP (I):  [RFC4240]      defines a way for SIP application servers to invoke announcement      and conferencing services from a media server.  This is      accomplished through a set of defined URI parameters that tell the      media server what to do, such as what file to play and what      language to render it in.RFC 4458, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) URIs for Applications   such as Voicemail and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) (I):      [RFC4458] defines a way to invoke voicemail and IVR services by      using a SIP URI constructed in a particular way.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 18]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 200914.  Minor Extensions   These SIP extensions don't fit easily into a single specific use   case.  They have somewhat general applicability, but they solve a   relatively small problem or provide an optimization.RFC 4488, Suppression of the SIP REFER Implicit Subscription (S):      [RFC4488] defines an enhancement to REFER.  REFER normally creates      an implicit subscription to the target of the REFER.  This      subscription is used to pass back updates on the progress of the      referral.  This extension allows that implicit subscription to be      bypassed as an optimization.RFC 4538, Request Authorization through Dialog Identification in SIP   (S):  [RFC4538] provides a mechanism that allows a UAS to authorize a      request because the requestor proves it knows a dialog that is in      progress with the UAS.  The specification is useful in conjunction      with the SIP application interaction framework [INTERACT-FRAME].RFC 4508, Conveying Feature Tags with the REFER Method in SIP (S):      [RFC4508] defines a mechanism for carryingRFC 3840 feature tags      in REFER.  It is useful for informing the target of the REFER      about the characteristics of the intended target of the referred      request.RFC 5373, Requesting Answer Modes for SIP (S):  [RFC5373] defines an      extension for indicating to the called party whether or not the      phone should ring and/or be answered immediately.  This is useful      for push-to-talk and for diagnostic applications.RFC 5079, Rejecting Anonymous Requests in SIP (S):  [RFC5079] defines      a mechanism for a called party to indicate to the calling party      that a call was rejected since the caller was anonymous.  This is      needed for implementation of the Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR)      feature in SIP.RFC 5368, Referring to Multiple Resources in SIP (S):  [RFC5368]      allows a UA sending a REFER to ask the recipient of the REFER to      generate multiple SIP requests, not just one.  This is useful for      conferencing, where a client would like to ask a conference server      to eject multiple users.RFC 4483, A Mechanism for Content Indirection in Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP) Messages (S):  [RFC4483] defines a mechanism for      content indirection.  Instead of carrying an object within a SIP      body, a URL reference is carried instead, and the recipient      dereferences the URL to obtain the object.  The specification has      potential applicability for sending large instant messages, butRosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 19]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009      has yet to find much actual use.RFC 3890, A Transport Independent Bandwidth Modifier for the Session   Description Protocol (SDP) (S):  [RFC3890] specifies an SDP extension      that allows for the description of the bandwidth for a media      session that is independent of the underlying transport mechanism.RFC 4583, Session Description Protocol (SDP) Format for Binary Floor   Control Protocol (BFCP) Streams (S):  [RFC4583] defines a mechanism      in SDP to signal floor control streams that use BFCP.  It is used      for push-to-talk and conference floor control.   CONNECT-PRECON, Connectivity Preconditions for Session Description   Protocol Media Streams (S):  [CONNECT-PRECON] defines a usage of the      precondition framework [RFC3312].  The connectivity precondition      makes sure that the session doesn't get established until actual      packet connectivity is checked.RFC 4796, The SDP (Session Description Protocol) Content Attribute   (S):  [RFC4796] defines an SDP attribute for describing the purpose      of a media stream.  Examples include a slide view, the speaker, a      sign language feed, and so on.   IPv6-TRANS, IPv6 Transition in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)   (S):  [IPv6-TRANS] defines practices for interworking between IPv6      and IPv6 user agents.  This is done through multi-homed proxies      that interwork IPv4 and IPv6, along with ICE [ICE] for media      traversal.  The specification includes some minor extensions and      clarifications to SDP in order to cover some additional cases.   CONNECT-REUSE, Connection Reuse in the Session Initiation Protocol   (SIP) (S):  [CONNECT-REUSE] defines an extension to SIP that allows a      Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection between servers to be      reused for requests in both directions.  Normally, two connections      are set up between a pair of servers, one for requests in each      direction.15.  Security Mechanisms   Several extensions provide additional security features to SIP.RFC 4474, Enhancements for Authenticated Identity Management in SIP   (S):  [RFC4474] defines a mechanism for providing a cryptographically      verifiable identity of the calling party in a SIP request.  Known      as "SIP Identity", this mechanism provides an alternative toRFC3325.  It has seen little deployment so far, but its importance as      a key construct for anti-spam techniques and new security      mechanisms makes it a core part of the SIP specifications.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 20]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 4916, Connected Identity in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)   (S):  [RFC4916] formally updatesRFC 3261.  It defines an extension      to SIP that allows a calling user to determine the identity of the      final called user (connected party).  Due to forwarding and      retargeting services, this may not be the same as the user that      the caller was originally trying to reach.  The mechanism works in      tandem with the SIP identity specification [RFC4474] to provide      signatures over the connected party identity.  It can also be used      if a party identity changes mid call due to third party call      control actions or PSTN behavior.   SIPS-URI, The Use of the SIPS URI Scheme in the Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP) (S):  [SIPS-URI] is intended to updateRFC 3261.  It      revises the processing of the SIPS URI, originally defined inRFC3261, to fix many errors and problems that have been encountered      with that mechanism.   DOMAIN-CERTS, Domain Certificates in the Session Initiation Protocol   (SIP) (B):  [DOMAIN-CERTS] clarifies the usage of SIP over TLS with      regards to certificate handling, and defines additional procedures      needed for interoperability.RFC 3323, A Privacy Mechanism for the Session Initiation Protocol   (SIP) (S):  [RFC3323] defines the Privacy header field, used by      clients to request anonymity for their requests.  Though it      defines several privacy services, the only one broadly used is the      one that supports privacy of the P-Asserted-Identity header field      [RFC3325].RFC 4567, Key Management Extensions for Session Description Protocol   (SDP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) (S):  [RFC4567] defines      extensions to SDP that allow tunneling of a key management      protocol, namely MIKEY [RFC3830], through offer/answer exchanges.      This mechanism is one of three Secure Realtime Transport Protocol      (SRTP) keying techniques specified for SIP, with Datagram      Transport Layer Security (DTLS)-SRTP [SRTP-FRAME] having been      selected as the final solution.RFC 4568, Session Description Protocol (SDP) Security Descriptions   for Media Streams (S):  [RFC4568] defines extensions to SDP that      allow for the negotiation of keying material directly through      offer/answer, without a separate key management protocol.  This      mechanism, sometimes called sdescriptions, has the drawback that      the media keys are available to any entity that has visibility to      the SDP.  It is one of three SRTP keying techniques specified for      SIP, with DTLS-SRTP [SRTP-FRAME] having been selected as the final      solution.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 21]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009   SRTP-FRAME, Framework for Establishing an SRTP Security Context using   DTLS (S):  [SRTP-FRAME] defines the overall framework and SDP and SIP      processing required to perform key management for RTP using      Datagram TLS (DTLS) [RFC4347] directly between endpoints, over the      media path.  It is one of three SRTP keying techniques specified      for SIP, with DTLS-SRTP [SRTP-FRAME] having been selected as the      final solution.RFC 3853, S/MIME Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Requirement for   SIP (S):  [RFC3853] formally updatesRFC 3261.  It is a brief      specification that updates the cryptography mechanisms used in SIP      S/MIME.  However, SIP S/MIME has seen very little deployment.   CERTS, Certificate Management Service for the Session Initiation   Protocol (SIP) (S):  [CERTS] defines a certificate service for SIP      whose purpose is to facilitate the deployment of S/MIME.  The      certificate service allows clients to store and retrieve their own      certificates, in addition to obtaining the certificates for other      users.RFC 3893, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Authenticated Identity   Body (AIB) Format (S):  [RFC3893] defines a SIP message fragment that      can be signed in order to provide an authenticated identity over a      request.  It was an early predecessor to [RFC4474], and      consequently AIB has seen no deployment.   SAML, SIP SAML Profile and Binding (S):  [SAML] defines the usage of      the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) within SIP, and      describes how to use it in conjunction with SIP identity [RFC4474]      to provide authenticated assertions about a user's role or      attributes.RFC 5360, A Framework for Consent-Based Communications in the Session   Initiation Protocol (SIP) (S):  [RFC5360] defines several extensions      to SIP, including the Trigger-Consent and Permission-Missing      header fields.  These header fields, in addition to the other      procedures defined in the document, define a way to manage      membership on "SIP mailing lists" used for instant messaging or      conferencing.  In particular, it helps avoid the problem of using      such amplification services for the purposes of an attack on the      network by making sure a user authorizes the addition of their      address onto such a service.RFC 5361, A Document Format for Requesting Consent (S):  [RFC5361]      defines an XML object used by the consent framework.  Consent      documents are sent from SIP "mailing list servers" to users to      allow them to manage their membership on lists.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 22]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 5362, The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Pending Additions   Event Package (S):  [RFC5362] defines a SIP event package that allows      a UA to learn whether consent has been given for the addition of      an address to a SIP "mailing list".  It is used in conjunction      with the SIP framework for consent [RFC5360].RFC 3329, Security Mechanism Agreement for SIP (S):  [RFC3329]      defines a mechanism to prevent bid-down attacks in conjunction      with SIP authentication.  The mechanism has seen very limited      deployment.  It was defined as part of the 3GPP IP Multimedia      Subsystem (IMS) specification suite [3GPP.24.229], and is needed      only when there is a multiplicity of security mechanisms deployed      at a particular server.  In practice, this has not been the case.RFC 4572, Connection-Oriented Media Transport over the Transport   Layer Security (TLS) Protocol in the Session Description Protocol   (SDP) (S):  [RFC4572] specifies a mechanism for signaling TLS-based      media streams between endpoints.  It expands the TCP-based media      signaling parameters defined in [RFC4145] to include fingerprint      information for TLS streams so that TLS can operate between end      hosts using self-signed certificates.RFC 5027, Security Preconditions for Session Description Protocol   Media Streams (S):  [RFC5027] defines a precondition for use with the      preconditions framework [RFC3312].  The security precondition      prevents a session from being established until a security media      stream is set up.RFC 3310, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Authentication   Using Authentication and Key Agreement (S):  [RFC3310] defines an      extension to digest authentication to allow it to work with the      credentials stored in cell phones.  Though technically it is an      extension to HTTP digest, its primary application is SIP.  This      extension is useful primarily to implementors of IMS.RFC 4169, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Authentication   Using Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) Version-2 (S):      [RFC4169] is an enhancement to [RFC3310] that further improves      security of the authentication.16.  Conferencing   Numerous SIP and SDP extensions are aimed at conferencing as their   primary application.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 23]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 4574, The SDP (Session Description Protocol) Label Attribute   (S):  [RFC4574] defines an SDP attribute for providing an opaque      label for media streams.  These labels can be referred to by      external documents, and in particular, by conference policy      documents.  This allows a UA to tie together documents it may      obtain through conferencing mechanisms to media streams to which      they refer.RFC 3911, The SIP Join Header Field (S):  [RFC3911] defines the Join      header field.  When sent in an INVITE, it causes the recipient to      join the resulting dialog into a conference with another dialog in      progress.RFC 4575, A SIP Event Package for Conference State (S):  [RFC4575]      defines a mechanism for learning about changes in conference      state, including conference membership.RFC 5368, Referring to Multiple Resources in SIP (S):  [RFC5368]      allows a UA sending a REFER to ask the recipient of the REFER to      generate multiple SIP requests, not just one.  This is useful for      conferencing, where a client would like to ask a conference server      to eject multiple users.RFC 5366, Conference Establishment Using Request-Contained Lists in   SIP (S):  [RFC5366] is similar to [RFC5367].  However, instead of      subscribing to the resource, an INVITE request is sent to the      resource, and it will act as a conference focus and generate an      invitation to each recipient in the list.RFC4579, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Call Control -   Conferencing for User Agents (B):  [RFC4579] defines best practice      procedures and call flows for conferencing.  This includes      conference creation, joining, and dial out, amongst other      capabilities.RFC 4583, Session Description Protocol (SDP) Format for Binary Floor   Control Protocol (BFCP) Streams (S):  [RFC4583] defines a mechanism      in SDP to signal floor control streams that use BFCP.  It is used      for push-to-talk and conference floor control.17.  Instant Messaging, Presence, and Multimedia   SIP provides extensions for instant messaging, presence, and   multimedia.Rosenberg                     Informational                    [Page 24]

RFC 5411                Hitchhiker's Guide to SIP           January 2009RFC 3428, SIP Extension for Instant Messaging (S):  [RFC3428] defines      the MESSAGE method, used for sending an instant message without      setting up a session (sometimes called "page mode").RFC 3856, A Presence Event Package for SIP (S):  [RFC3856] defines an      event package for indicating user presence through SIP.RFC 3857, A Watcher Information Event Template Package for SIP (S):      [RFC3857], also known as winfo, provides a mechanism for a user      agent to find out what subscriptions are in place for a particular      event package.  Its primary usage is with presence, but it can be      used with any event package.   TRANSFER-MECH, A Session Description Protocol (SDP)  Offer/Answer   Mechanism to Enable File Transfer (S):  [TRANSFER-MECH] defines a      mechanism for signaling a file transfer session with SIP.18.  Emergency Services   Emergency services include preemption features, which allow   authorized individuals to gain access to network resources in time of   emergency, along with traditional emergency calling.RFC 4411, Extending the SIP Reason Header for Preemption Events (S):      [RFC4411] defines an extension to the Reason header, allowing a UA      to know that its dialog was torn down because a higher priority      session came through.RFC 4412, Communications Resource Priority for SIP (S):  [RFC4412]      defines a new header field, Resource-Priority, that allows a      session to get priority treatment from the network.   LOCATION, Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol   (S):  [LOCATION] defines a mechanism for carrying location objects in      SIP messages.  This is used to convey location from a UA to an      emergency call taker.19.  Security Considerations   This specification is an overview of existing specifications and does   not introduce any security considerations on its own.  Of course, the   world would be far more secure if everyone would follow one simple   rule: "Don't Panic!"  [HGTTG].20.
