A connectivity   precondition can be used to delay session establishment or   modification until media stream connectivity has been successfully   verified.  The method of verification may vary depending on the type   of transport used for the media.  For unreliable datagram transports   such as UDP, verification involves probing the stream with data or   control packets.  For reliable connection-oriented transports such as   TCP, verification can be achieved simply by successful connection   establishment or by probing the connection with data or control   packets, depending on the situation.Status of This Memo   This is an Internet Standards Track document.

Introduction   The concept of a Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566]   precondition in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] is   defined inRFC 3312 [RFC3312] (updated byRFC 4032 [RFC4032]).  A   precondition is a condition that has to be satisfied for a given   media stream in order for session establishment or modification to   proceed.  When the precondition is not met, session progress is   delayed until the precondition is satisfied or the session   establishment fails.  For example,RFC 3312 [RFC3312] defines the   Quality of Service precondition, which is used to ensure availability   of network resources prior to establishing a session (i.e., prior to   starting to alert the callee).   SIP sessions are typically established in order to set up one or more   media streams.  Even though a media stream may be negotiated   successfully through an SDP offer-answer exchange, the actual media   stream itself may fail.  For example, when there is one or more   Network Address Translators (NATs) or firewalls in the media path,   the media stream may not be received by the far end.  In cases where   the media is carried over a connection-oriented transport such as TCP   [RFC0793], the connection-establishment procedures may fail.  The   connectivity precondition defined in this document ensures that   session progress is delayed until media stream connectivity has been   verified.Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   The connectivity precondition type defined in this document follows   the guidelines provided inRFC 4032 [RFC4032] to extend the SIP   preconditions framework.2.  Terminology   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].3.  Connectivity Precondition Definition3.1.  Syntax   The connectivity precondition type is defined by the string "conn",   and hence we modify the grammar found inRFC 3312 [RFC3312] andRFC5027 [RFC5027] as follows:      precondition-type = "conn" / "sec" / "qos" / token   This precondition tag is registered with the IANA inSection 8.3.2.  Operational Semantics   According toRFC 4032 [RFC4032], documents defining new precondition   types need to describe the behavior of UAs (User Agents) from the   moment session establishment is suspended due to a set of   preconditions, until it is resumed when these preconditions are met.   An entity that wishes to delay session establishment or modification   until media stream connectivity has been established uses this   precondition-type in an offer.  When a mandatory connectivity   precondition is received in an offer, session establishment or   modification is delayed until the connectivity precondition has been   met (i.e., until media stream connectivity has been established in   the desired direction or directions).  The delay of session   establishment defined here implies that alerting of the called party   does not occur until the precondition has been satisfied.   Packets may be both sent and received on the media streams in   question.  However, such packets SHOULD be limited to packets that   are necessary to verify connectivity between the two endpoints   involved on the media stream.  That is, the underlying media stream   SHOULD NOT be cut through.  For example, Interactive Connectivity   Establishment (ICE) connectivity checks [RFC5245] and TCP SYN, SYN-   ACK, and ACK packets can be exchanged on media streams that support   them as a way of verifying connectivity.Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   Some media streams are described by a single 'm' line but,   nevertheless, involve multiple addresses.  For example,RFC 5109   [RFC5109] specifies how to send FEC (Forward Error Correction)   information as a separate stream (the address for the FEC stream is   provided in an 'a=fmtp' line).  When a media stream consists of   multiple destination addresses, connectivity to all of them MUST be   verified in order for the precondition to be met.  In the case of RTP   media streams [RFC3550] that use RTCP, connectivity MUST be verified   for both RTP and RTCP; the RTCP transmission interval rules MUST   still be adhered to.3.3.  Status TypeRFC 3312 [RFC3312] defines support for two kinds of status types --   namely, segmented and end-to-end.  The connectivity precondition-type   defined here MUST be used with the end-to-end status type; use of the   segmented status type is undefined.3.4.  Direction Tag   The direction attributes defined inRFC 3312 [RFC3312] are   interpreted as follows:   o  send: the party that generated the session description is sending      packets on the media stream to the other party, and the other      party has received at least one of those packets.  That is, there      is connectivity in the forward (sending) direction.   o  recv: the other party is sending packets on the media stream to      the party that generated the session description, and this party      has received at least one of those packets.  That is, there is      connectivity in the backwards (receiving) direction.   o  sendrecv: both the send and recv conditions hold.   Note that a "send" connectivity precondition from the offerer's point   of view corresponds to a "recv" connectivity precondition from the   answerer's point of view, and vice versa.  If media stream   connectivity in both directions is required before session   establishment or modification continues, the desired status needs to   be set to "sendrecv".3.5.  Precondition Strength   Connectivity preconditions may have a strength-tag of either   "mandatory" or "optional".Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   When a mandatory connectivity precondition is offered and the   answerer cannot satisfy the connectivity precondition (e.g., because   the offer does not include parameters that enable connectivity to be   verified without media cut through) the offer MUST be rejected as   described inRFC 3312 [RFC3312].   When an optional connectivity precondition is offered, the answerer   MUST generate its answer SDP as soon as possible.  Since session   progress is not delayed in this case, it is not known whether the   associated media streams will have connectivity.  If the answerer   wants to delay session progress until connectivity has been verified,   the answerer MUST increase the strength of the connectivity   precondition by using a strength-tag of "mandatory" in the answer.   Note that use of a mandatory precondition requires the presence of a   SIP "Require" header with the option tag "precondition".  Any SIP UA   that does not support a mandatory precondition will reject such   requests.  To get around this issue, an optional connectivity   precondition and the SIP "Supported" header with the option tag   "precondition" can be used instead.   Offers with connectivity preconditions in re-INVITEs or UPDATEs   follow the rules given inSection 6 of RFC 3312 [RFC3312].  That is:      Both user agents SHOULD continue using the old session parameters      until all the mandatory preconditions are met.  At that moment,      the user agents can begin using the new session parameters.4.  Verifying Connectivity   Media stream connectivity is ascertained by use of a connectivity   verification mechanism between the media endpoints.  A connectivity   verification mechanism may be an explicit mechanism, such as ICE   [RFC5245] or ICE TCP [ICE-TCP], or it may be an implicit mechanism,   such as TCP.  Explicit mechanisms provide specifications for when   connectivity between two endpoints using an offer/answer exchange is   ascertained, whereas implicit mechanisms do not.  The verification   mechanism is negotiated as part of the normal offer/answer exchange;   however, it is not identified explicitly.  More than one mechanism   may be negotiated, but the offerer and answerer need not use the   same.  The following rules guide which connectivity verification   mechanism to use:   o  If an explicit connectivity verification mechanism (e.g., ICE) is      negotiated, the precondition is met when the mechanism verifies      connectivity successfully.Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   o  Otherwise, if a connection-oriented transport (e.g., TCP) is      negotiated, the precondition is met when the connection is      established.   o  Otherwise, if an implicit verification mechanism is provided by      the transport itself or the media stream data using the transport,      the precondition is met when the mechanism verifies connectivity      successfully.   o  Otherwise, connectivity cannot be verified reliably, and the      connectivity precondition will never be satisfied if requested.   This document does not mandate any particular connectivity   verification mechanism; however, in the following, we provide   additional considerations for verification mechanisms.4.1.  Correlation of Dialog to Media Stream   SIP and SDP do not provide any inherent capabilities for associating   an incoming media stream packet with a particular dialog.  Thus, when   an offerer is trying to ascertain connectivity, and an incoming media   stream packet is received, the offerer may not know which dialog had   its "recv" connectivity verified.  Explicit connectivity verification   mechanisms therefore typically provide a means to correlate the media   stream, whose connectivity is being verified, with a particular SIP   dialog.  However, some connectivity verification mechanisms may not   provide such a correlation.  In the absence of a mechanism for the   correlation of dialog to media stream (e.g., ICE), a UAS (User Agent   Server) MUST NOT require the offerer to confirm a connectivity   precondition.4.2.  Explicit Connectivity Verification Mechanisms   Explicit connectivity verification mechanisms typically use probe   traffic with some sort of feedback to inform the sender whether   reception was successful.  Below we provide two examples of such   mechanisms, and how they are used with connectivity preconditions:   Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] provides one   or more candidate addresses in signaling between the offerer and the   answerer and then uses STUN (Simple Traversal of the UDP Protocol   through NAT) Binding Requests to determine which pairs of candidate   addresses have connectivity.  Each STUN Binding Request contains a   password that is communicated in the SDP as well; this enables   correlation between STUN Binding Requests and candidate addresses for   a particular media stream.  It also provides correlation with a   particular SIP dialog.Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   ICE implementations may be either full or lite (see [RFC5245]).  Full   implementations generate and respond to STUN Binding Requests,   whereas lite implementations only respond to them.  With ICE, one   side is a controlling agent, and the other side is a controlled   agent.  A full implementation can take on either role, whereas a lite   implementation can only be a controlled agent.  The controlling agent   decides which valid candidate to use and informs the controlled agent   of it by identifying the pair as the nominated pair.  This leads to   the following connectivity precondition rules:   o  A full implementation ascertains both "send" and "recv"      connectivity when it operates as a STUN client and has sent a STUN      Binding Request that resulted in a successful check for all the      components of the media stream (as defined further in ICE).   o  A full or a lite implementation ascertains "recv" connectivity      when it operates as a STUN server and has received a STUN Binding      Request that resulted in a successful response for all the      components of the media stream (as defined further in ICE).   o  A lite implementation ascertains "send" and "recv" connectivity      when the controlling agent has informed it of the nominated pair      for all the components of the media stream.   A simpler and slightly more delay-prone alternative to the above   rules is for all ICE implementations to ascertain "send" and "recv"   connectivity for a media stream when the ICE state for that media   stream has moved to Completed.   Note that there is never a need for the answerer to request   confirmation of the connectivity precondition when using ICE: the   answerer can determine the status locally.  Also note, that when ICE   is used to verify connectivity preconditions, the precondition is not   satisfied until connectivity has been verified for all the component   transport addresses used by the media stream.  For example, with an   RTP-based media stream where RTCP is not suppressed, connectivity   MUST be ascertained for both RTP and RTCP.  Finally, it should be   noted, that although connectivity has been ascertained, a new offer/   answer exchange may be required before media can flow (per ICE).   The above are merely examples of explicit connectivity verification   mechanisms.  Other techniques can be used as well.  It is however   RECOMMENDED that ICE be supported by entities that support   connectivity preconditions.  Use of ICE has the benefit of working   for all media streams (not just RTP) as well as facilitating NAT and   firewall traversal, which may otherwise interfere with connectivity.   Furthermore, the ICE recommendation provides a baseline to ensureAndreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   that all entities that require probe traffic to support the   connectivity preconditions have a common way of ascertaining   connectivity.4.3.  Verifying Connectivity for Connection-Oriented Transports   Connection-oriented transport protocols generally provide an implicit   connectivity verification mechanism.  Connection establishment   involves sending traffic in both directions thereby verifying   connectivity at the transport-protocol level.  When a three-way (or   more) handshake for connection establishment succeeds, bi-directional   communication is confirmed and both the "send" and "recv"   preconditions are satisfied whether requested or not.  In the case of   TCP for example, once the TCP three-way handshake has completed (SYN,   SYN-ACK, ACK), the TCP connection is established and data can be sent   and received by either party (i.e., both a send and a receive   connectivity precondition has been satisfied).  SCTP (Stream Control   Transmission Protocol) [RFC4960] connections have similar semantics   as TCP and SHOULD be treated the same.   When a connection-oriented transport is part of an offer, it may be   passive, active, or active/passive [RFC4145].  When it is passive,   the offerer expects the answerer to initiate the connection   establishment, and when it is active, the offerer wants to initiate   the connection establishment.  When it is active/passive, the   answerer decides.  As noted earlier, lack of a media-stream-to-dialog   correlation mechanism can make it difficult to guarantee with whom   connectivity has been ascertained.  When the offerer takes on the   passive role, the offerer will not necessarily know which SIP dialog   originated an incoming connection request.  If the offerer instead is   active, this problem is avoided.5.  Connectivity and Other Precondition Types   The role of a connectivity precondition is to ascertain media stream   connectivity before establishing or modifying a session.  The   underlying intent is for the two parties to be able to exchange media   packets successfully.  However, connectivity by itself may not fully   satisfy this.  Quality of Service, for example, may be required for   the media stream; this can be addressed by use of the "qos"   precondition defined inRFC 3312 [RFC3312].  Similarly, successful   security parameter negotiation may be another prerequisite; this can   be addressed by use of the "sec" precondition defined inRFC 5027   [RFC5027].Andreasen, et al.            Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 20106.  Examples   The first example uses the connectivity precondition with TCP in the   context of a session involving a wireless access medium.  Both UAs   use a radio access network that does not allow them to send any data   (not even a TCP SYN) until a radio bearer has been set up for the   connection.

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   A sends an INVITE requesting connection-establishment preconditions.   The setup attribute in the offer is set to holdconn [RFC4145] because   A cannot send or receive any data before setting up a radio bearer   for the connection.   B agrees to use the connectivity precondition by sending a 183   (Session Progress) response.  The setup attribute in the answer is   also set to holdconn because B, like A, cannot send or receive any   data before setting up a radio bearer for the connection.   When A's radio bearer is ready, A sends an UPDATE to B with a setup   attribute with a value of actpass.  This attribute indicates that A   can perform an active or a passive TCP open.  A is letting B choose   which endpoint will initiate the connection.   Since B's radio bearer is not ready yet, B chooses to be the one   initiating the connection and indicates this with a setup attribute   with a value of active.  At a later point, when B's radio bearer is   ready, B initiates the TCP connection towards A.   Once the TCP connection is established successfully, B knows the   "sendrecv" precondition is satisfied, and B proceeds with the session   (i.e., alerts the Callee), and sends a 180 (Ringing) response.   The second example shows a basic SIP session establishment using SDP   connectivity preconditions and ICE (the required PRACK transaction   and some SDP details have been omitted for clarity).  The offerer (A)   is a full ICE implementation whereas the answerer (B) is a lite ICE   implementation.  The message flow for this scenario is shown in   Figure 2 below.Andreasen, et al.

B's local status table   therefore looks as follows:       Direction |  Current | Desired Strength |  Confirm      -----------+----------+------------------+----------         send    |    no    |   mandatory      |    no         recv    |    no    |   mandatory      |    no   Since B is a lite ICE implementation and B wants to ask A for   confirmation about the "send" (from B's point of view) connectivity   precondition, the resulting answer SDP becomes:     a=ice-lite     a=ice-pwd:qrCA8800133321zF9AIj98     a=ice-ufrag:H92p     m=audio 30000 RTP/AVP 0     c=IN IP4 192.0.2.4     a=rtcp:30001     a=curr:conn e2e none     a=des:conn mandatory e2e sendrecv     a=conf:conn e2e send     a=candidate:1 1 UDP 2130706431 192.0.2.4 30000 typ host   Since the "send" and the "recv" connectivity precondition (from B's   point of view) are still not satisfied, session establishment remains   suspended.   SDP3: When A receives the answer SDP, A notes that B is a lite ICE   implementation and that confirmation was requested for B's "send"   connectivity precondition, which is the "recv" precondition from A's   point of view.  A performs a successful send and recv connectivity   check to B by sending an ICE connectivity check to B and receiving   the corresponding response.

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   Since B asked for confirmation about the "recv" connectivity (from   A's point of view), A now sends an UPDATE (5) to B to confirm the   connectivity from A to B:     a=ice-pwd:asd88fgpdd777uzjYhagZg     a=ice-ufrag:8hhY     m=audio 20000 RTP/AVP 0     c=IN IP4 192.0.2.1     a=rtcp:20001     a=curr:conn e2e sendrecv     a=des:conn mandatory e2e sendrecv     a=candidate:1 1 UDP 2130706431 192.0.2.1 20000 typ host   B knows it has recv connectivity (verified by ICE as well as A's   UPDATE) and send connectivity (confirmed by A's UPDATE) at this   point.  B's local status table becomes:       Direction | Current  | Desired Strength | Confirm      -----------+----------+------------------+----------         send    |    yes   |   mandatory      |   no         recv    |    yes   |   mandatory      |   no   and the session can continue.7.  Security Considerations   General security considerations for preconditions are discussed inRFC 3312 [RFC3312] andRFC 4032 [RFC4032].  As discussed inRFC 4032   [RFC4032], it is strongly RECOMMENDED that S/MIME [RFC3853] integrity   protection be applied to the SDP session descriptions.  When the user   agent provides identity services (rather than the proxy server), the   SIP identity mechanism specified inRFC 4474 [RFC4474] provides an   alternative end-to-end integrity protection.  Additionally, the   following security issues relate specifically to connectivity   preconditions.   Connectivity preconditions rely on mechanisms beyond SDP, such as TCP   [RFC0793] connection establishment or ICE connectivity checks   [RFC5245], to establish and verify connectivity between an offerer   and an answerer.  An attacker that prevents those mechanisms from   succeeding (e.g., by keeping ICE connectivity checks from arriving at   their destination) can prevent media sessions from being established.   While this attack relates to connectivity preconditions, it is   actually an attack against the connection-establishment mechanisms   used by the endpoints.  This attack can be performed in the presence   or in the absence of connectivity preconditions.  In their presence,   the whole session setup will be disrupted.  In their absence, only   the establishment of the particular stream under attack will beAndreasen, et al.            Standards Track                   [Page 14]

RFC 5898                Connectivity Precondition              July 2010   disrupted.  This specification does not provide any mechanism against   attackers able to block traffic between the endpoints involved in the   session because such an attacker will always be able to launch DoS   (Denial-of-Service) attacks.   Instead of blocking the connectivity checks, the attacker can   generate forged connectivity checks that would cause the endpoints to   assume that there was connectivity when there was actually no   connectivity.  This attack would result in the user experience being   poor because the session would be established without all the media   streams being ready.  The same attack can be used, regardless of   whether or not connectivity preconditions are used, to attempt to   hijack a connection.  The forged connectivity checks would trick the   endpoints into sending media to the wrong direction.  To prevent   these attacks, it is RECOMMENDED that the mechanisms used to check   connectivity are adequately secured by message authentication and   integrity protection.  For example,Section 2.5 of [RFC5245]   discusses how message integrity and data origin authentication are   implemented in ICE connectivity checks.8.  IANA Considerations   IANA has registered a new precondition type under the Precondition   Types used with SIP subregistry, which is located under the Session   Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters registry.
