Overall Applicability   The SIP extensions specified in this document make certain   assumptions regarding network topology, linkage between SIP and lower   layers, and the availability of transitive trust.  These assumptions   apply only to private networks and are not appropriate for use in an   Internet environment.  The mechanisms specified here were designed to   satisfy the requirements specified in the 3GPP Release 5 requirements   on SIP [RFC4083] for which either no general-purpose solution was   planned (where insufficient operational experience was available to   understand if a general solution would be needed) or for which a more   general solution is not yet mature.  For more details about the   assumptions made about these extensions, consult the Applicability   subsection for each extension.2.  Conventions   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 in [RFC2119].3.  Overview   The 3GPP uses SIP as the protocol to establish and tear down   multimedia sessions in the context of its IP Multimedia Subsystem   (IMS), as described in the 3GPP TS 23.228 [TS23.228] and 3GPP TSJesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   24.229 [TS24.229].RFC 3455 [RFC3455] defines SIP private header   extensions (referred to as P-headers) that are required by the 3GPP   specification.  Note that the requirements for these extensions are   documented inRFC 4083 [RFC4083].  This document obsoletesRFC 3455   [RFC3455].  This document updates existing P-header descriptions to   address additional requirements that are needed for 3GPP Release 11.   Each of the P-headers is described in the sections below.4.  SIP Private Header Fields4.1.  The P-Associated-URI Header Field   This extension allows a registrar to return a set of associated URIs   for a registered SIP address-of-record.  We define the P-Associated-   URI header field, used in the 200 (OK) response to a REGISTER   request.  The P-Associated-URI header field contains the set of   associated URIs that are associated with the registered address-of-   record.   In addition to the address-of-record, an associated URI is a URI that   the service provider has allocated to a user.  A registrar contains   information that allows zero or more URIs to be associated with an   address-of-record.  Usually, all these URIs (the address-of-record   and the associated URIs) are allocated for the usage of a particular   user.  This extension to SIP allows the User Agent Client (UAC) to   know, upon a successful authenticated registration, which other URIs,   if any, the service provider has associated with an address-of-record   URI.   Note that, in standard SIP usage [RFC3261], the registrar does not   register the associated URIs on behalf of the user.  Only the   address-of-record that is present in the To header field of the   REGISTER is registered and bound to the contact address.  The only   information conveyed is that the registrar is aware of other URIs   that can be used by the same user.   A situation may be possible, however, in which an application server   (or even the registrar itself) registers any of the associated URIs   on behalf of the user by means of a third-party registration.   However, this third-party registration is out of the scope of this   document.  A UAC MUST NOT assume that the associated URIs are   registered.   If a UAC wants to check whether any of the associated URIs is   registered, it can do so by mechanisms specified outside this   document, e.g., the UA MAY send a REGISTER request with the To header   field value set to any of the associated URIs and without a Contact   header field.  The 200 (OK) response will include a Contact headerJesske, et al.                Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   field with the list of addresses-of-record that have been registered   with contact addresses.  If the associated URI is not registered, the   UA MAY register it prior to its utilization.4.1.1.  Applicability Statement for the P-Associated-URI Header Field   The P-Associated-URI header field is applicable in SIP networks where   the SIP provider allows a set of identities that a user can claim (in   header fields like the From header field) in requests that the UA   generates.  Furthermore, it assumes that the provider knows the   entire set of identities that a user can legitimately claim and that   the user is willing to restrict its claimed identities to that set.   This is in contrast to normal SIP usage, where the From header field   is explicitly an end-user-specified field.4.1.2.  Usage of the P-Associated-URI Header Field   The registrar inserts the P-Associated-URI header field into the 200   (OK) response to a REGISTER request.  The header field value is   populated with a list of URIs that are associated to the address-of-   record.   If the registrar supports the P-Associated-URI header field extension   and there is at least one associated URI, then the registrar MUST   insert the P-Associated-URI header field in all the 200 (OK)   responses to a REGISTER request.  The absence of a P-Associated-URI   header field indicates that there are no associated URIs for the   registered address-of-record.4.1.2.1.  Procedures at the UA   A UAC may receive a P-Associated-URI header field in the 200 (OK)   response for a REGISTER request.  The presence of a header field in   the 200 (OK) response for a REGISTER request implies that the   extension is supported at the registrar.   The header field value contains a list of one or more associated URIs   to the address-of-record.  The UAC MAY use any of the associated URIs   to populate the From header field value, or any other SIP header   field value that provides information of the identity of the calling   party, in a subsequent request.   The UAC MAY check whether or not the associated URI is registered.   This check can be done, e.g., by populating the To header field value   in a REGISTER request sent to the registrar and without a Contact   header field.  The 200 (OK) response will include a Contact header   field with the list of address-of-record that have been registeredJesske, et al.                Informational                     [Page 5]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   with contact addresses.  As described in SIP [RFC3261], the 200 (OK)   response may contain a Contact header field with zero or more values   (zero meaning the address-of-record is not registered).4.1.2.2.  Procedures at the Registrar   A registrar that receives and authorizes a REGISTER request MAY   associate zero or more URIs with the registered address-of-record.   If the address-of-record under registration does not have any   associated URIs, the P-Associated-URI header field SHALL NOT be   included.   Otherwise, a registrar that supports this specification MUST include   a P-Associated-URI header field in the 200 (OK) response to a   REGISTER request that contains a contact header.  The header field   MUST be populated with a comma-separated list of URIs that are   associated to the address-of-record under registration.4.1.2.3.  Procedures at the Proxy   This header is not intended to be used by proxies -- a proxy does not   add, read, modify, or delete the header field; therefore, any proxy   MUST relay this header field unchanged.4.2.  The P-Called-Party-ID Header Field   A proxy server inserts a P-Called-Party-ID header field, typically in   an INVITE request, en route to its destination.  The header is   populated with the Request-URI received by the proxy in the request.   The User Agent Server (UAS) identifies to which address-of-record,   out of several registered addresses-of-record, the invitation was   sent (for example, the user may be simultaneously using one personal   SIP URI and one business SIP URI to receive invitation to sessions).   The UAS can use the information to render different distinctive   audiovisual alerting tones, depending on the URI used to receive the   invitation to the session.   Users in the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) may get one or   several SIP URIs (address-of-record) to identify the user.  For   example, a user may get one business SIP URI and one personal SIP   URI.  As an example of utilization, the user may make available the   business SIP URI to coworkers and may make available the personal SIP   URI to members of the family.Jesske, et al.                Informational                     [Page 6]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   At a certain point in time, both the business SIP URI and the   personal SIP URI are registered in the SIP registrar, so both URIs   can receive invitations to new sessions.  When the user receives an   invitation to join a session, he/she should be aware of which of the   registered SIP URIs this session was sent to.   This requirement is stated in the 3GPP Release 5 requirements on SIP   [RFC4083].   The problem arises during the terminating side of a session   establishment.  At that time, the SIP proxy that is serving a UA gets   an INVITE request, and the SIP server retargets the SIP URI that is   present in the Request-URI, and replaces that SIP URI with the SIP   URI published by the user in the Contact header field of the REGISTER   request at registration time.   One can argue that the To header field conveys the semantics of the   called user, and therefore, this extension to SIP is not needed.   Although the To header field in SIP may convey the called party ID in   most situations, there are two particular cases when the above   assumption is not correct:   1.  The session has been forwarded, redirected, etc., by previous SIP       proxies, before arriving to the proxy that is serving the called       user.   2.  The UAC builds an INVITE request and the To header field is not       the same as the Request-URI.   The problem of using the To header field is that this field is   populated by the UAC and not modified by proxies in the path.  If the   UAC, for any reason, did not populate the To header field with the   address-of-record of the destination user, then the destination user   is not able to distinguish to which address-of-record the session was   destined.   Another possible solution to the problem is built upon the   differentiation of the Contact header field value between different   address-of-record at registration time.  The UA can differentiate   each address-of-record it registers by assigning a different Contact   header field value.  For example, when the UA registers the address-   of-record sip:id1, the Contact header field value can be sip:id1@ua,   while the registration of the address-of-record sip:id2 can be bound   to the Contact header field value sip:id2@ua.   The solution described above assumes that the UA explicitly registers   each of its addresses-of-record, and therefore, it has full control   over the contact address values assigned to each registration.Jesske, et al.                Informational                     [Page 7]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   However, if the UA does not have full control of its registered   addresses-of-record, because of, e.g., a third-party registration,   the solution does not work.  This may be the case of the 3GPP   registration, where the UA may have previously indicated to the   network, by means outside of SIP, that some other addresses-of-record   may be automatically registered when the UA registers a particular   address-of-record.  The requirement is covered in the 3GPP Release 5   requirements on SIP [RFC4083].   In the next paragraphs, we show an example of the problem, in the   case in which there has been some sort of call forwarding in the   session, so that the UAC is not aware of the intended destination URI   in the current INVITE request.   We assume that a UA is registering to its proxy (P1).     Scenario                      UA --- P1         F1 Register UA -> P1              REGISTER sip:example.com SIP/2.0              Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.0.2.4:5060;branch=z9hG4bKnashds7              To: sip:user1-business@example.com              From: sip:user1-business@example.com;tag=456248              Call-ID: 843817637684230998sdasdh09              CSeq: 1826 REGISTER              Contact: <sip:user1@192.0.2.4>   The user also registers his personal URI to his/her registrar.         F2 Register UA -> P1              REGISTER sip:example.com SIP/2.0              Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.0.2.4:5060;branch=z9hG4bKnashdt8              To: sip:user1-personal@example.com              From: sip:user1-personal@example.com;tag=346249              Call-ID: 2Q3817637684230998sdasdh10              CSeq: 1827 REGISTER              Contact: <sip:user1@192.0.2.4>   Later, the proxy/registrar (P1) receives an INVITE request from   another proxy (P2) destined to the user's business SIP address-of-   record.  We assume that this INVITE request has undergone some sort   of forwarding in the past, and as such, the To header field is not   populated with the SIP URI of the user.  In this case, we assume that   the session was initially addressed to   sip:other-user@othernetwork.com.  The SIP server at othernetwork.com   has forwarded this session to sip:user1-business@example.com.Jesske, et al.                Informational                     [Page 8]

Neither the UAS nor proxies /   application servers can provide this user a service based on the   destination address-of-record of the session.   We solve this problem by allowing the proxy that is responsible for   the home domain (as defined in SIP) of the user to insert a P-Called-   Party-ID header field that identifies the address-of-record to which   this session is destined.   If this SIP extension is used, the proxy serving the called user will   get the message flow F5, it will populate the P-Called-Party-ID   header field in message flow F6 with the contents of the Request-URI   in F4.

Applicability Statement for the P-Called-Party-ID Header Field   The P-Called-Party-ID header field is applicable when the UAS needs   to be aware of the intended address-of-record that was present in the   Request-URI of the request, before the proxy retargets to the contact   address.  The UAS may be interested in applying different audiovisual   alerting effects or other filtering services, depending on the   intended destination of the request.  It is especially valuable when   the UAS has registered several addresses-of-record to his registrar,   and therefore, the UAS is not aware of the address-of-record that was   present in the INVITE request when it hit his proxy/registrar, unless   this extension is used.   P-Called-Party-ID header field and the History-Info header field: At   the timeRFC 3455 [RFC3455] was written, the History-Info header   field was a long way from specification.  This header has now been   specified and approved inRFC 7044 [RFC7044].  It is acknowledged   that the History-Info header field will provide equivalent coverage   to that of the P-Called-Party-ID header field.  However, the   P-Called-Party-ID header field is used entirely within the 3GPP   system and does not appear to SIP entities outside that of a single   3GPP operator.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.2.2.  Usage of the P-Called-Party-ID Header Field   The P-Called-Party-ID header field provides proxies and the UAS with   the address-of-record that was present in the Request-URI of the   request, before a proxy retargets the request.  This information is   intended to be used by subsequent proxies in the path or by the UAS.   Typically, a SIP proxy inserts the P-Called-Party-ID header field   prior to retargetting the Request-URI in the SIP request.  The header   field value is populated with the contents of the Request-URI, prior   to replacing it with the contact address.4.2.2.1.  Procedures at the UA   A UAC MUST NOT insert a P-Called-Party-ID header field in any SIP   request or response.   A UAS may receive a SIP request that contains a P-Called-Party-ID   header field.  The header field will be populated with the address-   of-record received by the proxy in the Request-URI of the request,   prior to its forwarding to the UAS.   The UAS MAY use the value in the P-Called-Party-ID header field to   provide services based on the called party URI, such as, e.g.,   filtering of calls depending on the date and time, distinctive   presentation services, distinctive alerting tones, etc.4.2.2.2.  Procedures at the Proxy   A proxy that has access to the contact information of the user can   insert a P-Called-Party-ID header field in any of the requests   indicated inSection 5.7.  When included, the proxy MUST populate the   header field value with the contents of the Request-URI present in   the SIP request that the proxy received.   It is necessary that the proxy that inserts the P-Called-Party-ID   header field has information about the user, in order to prevent a   wrong delivery of the called party ID.  This information may, for   example, have been learned through a registration process.   A proxy or application server that receives a request containing a   P-Called-Party-ID header field MAY use the contents of the header   field to provide a service to the user based on the URI of that   header field value.   A SIP proxy MUST NOT insert a P-Called-Party-ID header field in   REGISTER requests.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.3.  The P-Visited-Network-ID Header Field   3GPP networks are composed of a collection of so-called home   networks, visited networks, and subscribers.  A particular home   network may have roaming agreements with one or more visited   networks.  The effect of this is that when a mobile terminal is   roaming, it can use resources provided by the visited network in a   transparent fashion.   One of the conditions for a home network to accept the registration   of a UA roaming to a particular visited network, is the existence of   a roaming agreement between the home and the visited network.  There   is a need to indicate to the home network which network is the   visited network that is providing services to the roaming UA.   3GPP user agents always register to the home network.  The REGISTER   request is proxied by one or more proxies located in the visited   network towards the home network.  For the sake of a simple approach,   it seems sensible that the visited network includes an identification   that is known to the home network.  This identification should be   globally unique, and it takes the form of a quoted-text string or a   token.  The home network may use this identification to verify the   existence of a roaming agreement with the visited network, and to   authorize the registration through that visited network.   Note that P-Visited-Network-ID information reveals the location of   the user, to the level of the coverage area of the visited network.   For a national network, for example, P-Visited-Network-ID would   reveal that the user is in the country in question.4.3.1.  Applicability Statement for the P-Visited-Network-ID Header        Field   The P-Visited-Network-ID header field is applicable whenever the   following circumstances are met:   1.  There is transitive trust in intermediate proxies between the UA       and the home network proxy via established relationships between       the home network and the visited network, supported by the use of       standard security mechanisms, e.g., IPsec, Authentication and Key       Agreement (AKA), or Transport Layer Security (TLS).   2.  An endpoint is using resources provided by one or more visited       networks (a network to which the user does not have a direct       business relationship).   3.  A proxy that is located in one of the visited networks wants to       be identified at the user's home network.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 12]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   4.  There is no requirement that every visited network need be       identified at the home network.  Those networks that want to be       identified make use of this extension.  Those networks that do       not want to be identified do nothing.   5.  A commonly pre-agreed text string or token identifies the visited       network at the home network.   6.  The UAC sends a REGISTER request or dialog-initiating request       (e.g., INVITE request) or a standalone request outside a dialog       (e.g., OPTIONS request) to a proxy in a visited network.   7.  The request traverses, en route to its destination, a first proxy       located in the visited network and a second proxy located in the       home network or its destination is the registrar in the home       network.   8.  The registrar or home proxy verifies and authorizes the usage of       resources (e.g., proxies) in the visited network.   The P-Visited-Network-ID header field assumes that there is trust   relationship between a home network and one or more transited visited   networks.  It is possible for other proxies between the proxy in the   visited network that inserts the header, and the registrar or the   home proxy, to modify the value of P-Visited-Network-ID header field.   Therefore, intermediaries participating in this mechanism MUST apply   a hop-by-hop integrity-protection mechanism such as IPsec or other   available mechanisms in order to prevent such attacks.4.3.2.  Usage of the P-Visited-Network-ID Header Field   The P-Visited-Network-ID header field is used to convey to the   registrar or home proxy in the home network the identifier of a   visited network.  The identifier is a text string or token that is   known by both the registrar or the home proxy at the home network and   the proxies in the visited network.   Typically, the home network authorizes the UA to roam to a particular   visited network.  This action requires an existing roaming agreement   between the home and the visited network.   While it is possible for a home network to identify one or more   visited networks by inspecting the domain name in the Via header   fields, this approach has a heavy dependency on DNS.  It is an option   for a proxy to populate the Via header field with an IP address, for   example, and in the absence of a reverse DNS entry, the IP address   will not convey the desired information.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 13]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   Any SIP proxy in the visited network that receives any of the   requests indicated inSection 5.7 MAY insert a P-Visited-Network-ID   header field when it forwards the request.  In case a REGISTER   request or other request is traversing different administrative   domains (e.g., different visited networks), a SIP proxy MAY insert a   new P-Visited-Network-ID header field if the request does not contain   a P-Visited-Network-ID header field with the same network identifier   as its own network identifier (e.g., if the request has traversed   other different administrative domains).   Note also that, there is no requirement for this header field value   to be readable in the proxies.  Therefore, a first proxy MAY insert   an encrypted header field that only the registrar can decrypt.  If   the request traverses a second proxy located in the same   administrative domain as the first proxy, the second proxy may not be   able to read the contents of the P-Visited-Network-ID header field.   In this situation, the second proxy will consider that its visited   network identifier is not already present in the value of the header   field, and therefore, it will insert a new P-Visited-Network-ID   header field value (hopefully with the same identifier that the first   proxy inserted, although perhaps, not encrypted).  When the request   arrives at the registrar or proxy in the home network, it will notice   that the header field value is repeated (both the first and the   second proxy inserted it).  The decrypted values should be the same,   because both proxies where part of the same administrative domain.   While this situation is not desirable, it does not create any harm at   the registrar or proxy in the home network.   The P-Visited-Network-ID header field is normally used at   registration.  However, this extension does not preclude other   usages.  For example, a proxy located in a visited network that does   not maintain registration state MAY insert a P-Visited-Network-ID   header field into any standalone request outside a dialog or a   request that creates a dialog.  At the time of writing this document,   the only requests that create dialogs are INVITE requests [RFC3261],   SUBSCRIBE requests [RFC6665], and REFER requests [RFC3515].   In order to avoid conflicts with identifiers, especially when the   number of roaming agreements between networks increase, care must be   taken when selecting the value of the P-Visited-Network-ID header   field.  The identifier MUST be globally unique to avoid duplications.   Although there are many mechanisms to create globally unique   identifiers across networks, one such mechanism is already in   operation, and that is DNS.  The P-Visited-Network-ID header field   does not have any connection to DNS, but the values in the header   field can be chosen from the DNS entry representing the domain name   of the network.  This guarantees the uniqueness of the value.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 14]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.3.2.1.  Procedures at the UA   In the context of the network to which the header fields defined in   this document apply, a User Agent has no knowledge of the P-Visited-   Network-ID when sending the REGISTER request.  Therefore, UACs MUST   NOT insert a P-Visited-Network-ID header field in any SIP message.4.3.2.2.  Procedures at the Registrar and Proxy   A SIP proxy that is located in a visited network MAY insert a   P-Visited-Network-ID header field in any of the requests indicated inSection 5.7.  The header field MUST be populated with the contents of   a text string or a token that identifies the administrative domain of   the network where the proxy is operating towards the user's home   network.   A SIP proxy or registrar which is located in the home network can use   the contents of the P-Visited-Network-ID header field as an   identifier of one or more visited networks that the request   traversed.  The proxy or registrar in the home network may take   local-policy-driven actions based on the existence (or nonexistence)   of a roaming agreement between the home and the visited networks.   This means, for instance, the authorization of the actions of the   request is based on the contents of the P-Visited-Network-ID header   field.   A SIP proxy that is located in the home network MUST delete this   header field when forwarding the message outside the home network   administrative domain, in order to retain the user's privacy.   A SIP proxy that is located in the home network SHOULD delete this   header field when the home proxy has used the contents of the header   field or the request is routed based on the called party's   identification, even when the request is not forwarded outside the   home network administrative domain.   Note that a received P-Visited-Network-ID from a UA is not allowed   and MUST be deleted when the request is forwarded.4.3.2.3.  Examples of Usage   We present an example in the context of the scenario shown in the   following network diagram:     Scenario            UA --- P1 --- P2 --- REGISTRARJesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.4.  The P-Access-Network-Info Header Field   This section describes the P-Access-Network-Info header field.  This   header field is useful in SIP-based networks that also provide Layer   2 (L2) / Layer 3 (L3) connectivity through different access   technologies.  SIP UAs may use this header field to relay information   about the access technology to proxies that are providing services.   The serving proxy may then use this information to optimize services   for the UA.  For example, a 3GPP UA may use this header field to pass   information about the access network such as radio access technology   and radio cell identity to its home service provider.   For the purpose of this extension, we define an access network as the   network providing the L2/L3 IP connectivity, which, in turn, provides   a user with access to the SIP capabilities and services provided.   In some cases, the SIP server that provides the user with services   may wish to know information about the type of access network that   the UA is currently using.  Some services are more suitable or less   suitable depending on the access type, and some services are of more   value to subscribers if the access network details are known by the   SIP proxy that provides the user with services.   In other cases, the SIP server that provides the user with services   may simply wish to know crude location information in order to   provide certain services to the user.  For example, many of the   location-based services available in wireless networks today require   the home network to know the identity of the cell the user is being   served by.   Some regulatory requirements exist mandating that for cellular radio   systems, the identity of the cell where an emergency call is   established is made available to the emergency authorities.   The SIP server that provides services to the user may desire to have   knowledge about the access network.  This is achieved by defining a   new private SIP extension header field, P-Access-Network-Info header   field.  This header field carries information relating to the access   network between the UAC and its serving proxy in the home network.   A proxy providing services based on the P-Access-Network-Info header   field must consider the trust relationship to the UA or outbound   proxy including the P-Access-Network-Info header field.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 17]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.4.1.  Applicability Statement for the P-Access-Network-Info Header        Field   This mechanism is appropriate in environments where SIP services are   dependent on SIP elements knowing details about the IP and lower-   layer technologies used by a UA to connect to the SIP network.   Specifically, the extension requires that the UA know the access   technology it is using, and that a proxy desires such information to   provide services.  Generally, SIP is built on the everything over IP   and IP over everything principle, where the access technology is not   relevant for the operation of SIP.  Since SIP systems generally   should not care or even know about the access technology, this SIP   extension is not for general SIP usage.   The information revealed in the P-Access-Network-Info header field is   potentially very sensitive.  Proper protection of this information   depends on the existence of specific business and security   relationships amongst the proxies that will see SIP messages   containing this header field.  It also depends on explicit knowledge   of the UA of the existence of those relationships.  Therefore, this   mechanism is only suitable in environments where the appropriate   relationships are in place, and the UA has explicit knowledge that   they exist.4.4.2.  Usage of the P-Access-Network-Info Header   When a UA generates a SIP request or response that it knows is going   to be securely sent to its SIP proxy that is providing services, the   UA inserts a P-Access-Network-Info header field into field the SIP   message.  This header contains information on the access network that   the UA is using to get IP connectivity.  The header is typically   ignored by intermediate proxies between the UA and the SIP proxy that   is providing services.  The proxy providing services can inspect the   header and make use of the information contained there to provide   appropriate services, depending on the value of the header.  Before   proxying the request onwards to an untrusted administrative network   domain, this proxy strips the header from the message.   Additionally, the first outbound proxy, if in possession of   appropriate information, can also add a P-Access-Network-Info header   field with its own information.4.4.2.1.  UA Behavior   A UA that supports this extension and is willing to disclose the   related parameters MAY insert the P-Access-Network-Info header field   in any SIP request or response.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 18]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   The UA inserting this information MUST have a trust relationship with   the proxy that is providing services to protect its privacy by   deleting the header before forwarding the message outside of the   proxy's domain.  This proxy is typically located in the home network.   In order to avoid the deletion of the header, there MUST also be a   transitive trust in intermediate proxies between the UA and the proxy   that provides the services.  This trust is established by business   agreements between the home network and the access network, and   generally supported by the use of standard security mechanisms, e.g.,   IPsec, AKA, and TLS.4.4.2.2.  Proxy Behavior   A proxy MUST NOT modify the value of the P-Access-Network-Info header   field.   A proxy in possession of appropriate information about the access   technology MAY insert a P-Access-Network-Info header field with its   own values.  A proxy sending towards an untrusted entity MUST remove   any P-Access-Network-Info header field containing a "network-   provided" value.   A proxy that is providing services to the UA, can act upon any   information present in the P-Access-Network-Info header field value,   if is present, to provide a different service depending on the   network or the location through which the UA is accessing the server.   For example, for cellular radio access networks, the SIP proxy   located in the home network MAY use the cell ID to provide basic   localized services.   A proxy that provides services to the user is typically located in   the home network and is therefore trusted.  It MUST delete the header   when the SIP signaling is forwarded to a SIP server located in an   untrusted administrative network domain.  The SIP server providing   services to the UA uses the access network information that is of no   interest to other proxies located in different administrative   domains.4.5.  The P-Charging-Function-Addresses Header Field   3GPP has defined a distributed architecture that results in multiple   network entities becoming involved in providing access and services.   There is a need to inform each SIP proxy involved in a transaction   about the common charging functional entities to receive the   generated charging records or charging events.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 19]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   The solution provided by 3GPP is to define two types of charging   functional entities: Charging Collection Function (CCF) and Event   Charging Function (ECF).  CCF is used for offline charging (e.g., for   postpaid account charging).  ECF is used for online charging (e.g.,   for pre-paid account charging).  There may be more than a single   instance of CCF and ECF in a network, in order to provide redundancy   in the network.  In case there are more than a single instance of   either the CCF or the ECF addresses, implementations SHOULD attempt   sending the charging data to the ECF or CCF address, starting with   the first address of the sequence (if any) in the P-Charging-   Function-Addresses header field.  If the first address of the   sequence is not available, then the next address (ccf-2 or ecf-2)   MUST be used if available.  The CCF and ECF addresses MAY be passed   during the establishment of a dialog or in a standalone transaction.   More detailed information about charging can be found in 3GPP TS   32.240 [TS32.240] and 3GPP TS 32.260 [TS32.260].   We define the SIP private header field P-Charging-Function-Addresses   header field.  A proxy MAY include this header field, if not already   present, in either the initial request or response for a dialog or in   the request and response of a standalone transaction outside a   dialog.  When present, only one instance of the header MUST be   present in a particular request or response.   The mechanisms by which a SIP proxy collects the values to populate   the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field values are outside the   scope of this document.  However, as an example, a SIP proxy may have   preconfigured these addresses or may obtain them from a subscriber   database.4.5.1.  Applicability Statement for the P-Charging-Function-Addresses        Header Field   The P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field is applicable within a   single private administrative domain where coordination of charging   is required, for example, according to the architecture specified in   3GPP TS 32.240 [TS32.240].   The P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field is not included in a   SIP message sent outside of the own administrative domain.  The   header is not applicable if the administrative domain does not   provide a charging function.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 20]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   The P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field is applicable whenever   the following circumstances are met:   1.  A UA sends a REGISTER or dialog-initiating request (e.g., INVITE       request) or a standalone transaction request outside a dialog to       a proxy located in the administrative domain of a private       network.   2.  A registrar, proxy, or UA that is located in the administrative       domain of the private network wants to generate charging records.   3.  A registrar, proxy, or UA that is located in the private network       has access to the addresses of the charging function entities for       that network.   4.  There are other proxies that are located in the same       administrative domain of the private network and that generate       charging records or charging events.  The proxies want to send,       by means outside SIP, the charging information to the same       charging collecting entities than the first proxy.4.5.2.  Usage of the P-Charging-Function-Addresses Header Field   A SIP proxy that receives a SIP request MAY insert a P-Charging-   Function-Addresses header field prior to forwarding the request, if   the header was not already present in the SIP request.  The header   filed contains one or more parameters that contain the hostnames or   IP addresses of the nodes that are willing to receive charging   information.   A SIP proxy that receives a SIP request that includes a P-Charging-   Function-Addresses header field can use the hostnames or IP addresses   included in the value, as the destination of charging information or   charging events.  The means to send those charging information or   events are outside the scope of this document, and usually, do not   use SIP for that purpose.4.5.2.1.  Procedures at the UA   This document does not specify any procedure at the UA located   outside the administrative domain of a private network, with regard   to the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field.  Such UAs need not   understand this header.   However, it might be possible that a UA is located within the   administrative domain of a private network (e.g., a Public Switched   Telephone Network (PSTN) gateway, or conference mixer), and it may   have access to the addresses of the charging entities.  In this case,Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 21]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   a UA MAY insert the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field in a   SIP request or response when the next hop for the message is a proxy   or UA located in the same administrative domain.  Similarly, such a   UA MAY use the contents of the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header   field in communicating with the charging entities.4.5.2.2.  Procedures at the Proxy   A SIP proxy that supports this extension and receives a request or   response without the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field MAY   insert a P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field prior to   forwarding the message.  The header is populated with a list of the   addresses of one or more charging entities where the proxy should   send charging-related information.   If a proxy that supports this extension receives a request or   response with the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field, it MAY   retrieve the information from the header field to use with   application-specific logic, i.e., charging.  If the next hop for the   message is within the administrative domain of the proxy, then the   proxy SHOULD include the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field   in the outbound message.  However, if the next hop for the message is   outside the administrative domain of the proxy, then the proxy MUST   remove the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field.4.5.2.3.  Examples of Usage   We present an example in the context of the scenario shown in the   following network diagram:         Scenario                   UA1 --- P1 --- P2 --- UA2   In this scenario, we assume that P1 and P2 belong to the same   administrative domain.   The example below shows the message sequence for an INVITE   transaction originating from UA1 and eventually arriving at UA2.  P1   is an outbound proxy for UA1.  In this case, P1 inserts charging   information.  Then, P1 routes the request via P2 to UA2.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 22]

Both proxies can send   the charging information to the same entities.4.6.  The P-Charging-Vector Header Field   3GPP has defined a distributed architecture that results in multiple   network entities becoming involved in providing access and services.   Operators need the ability and flexibility to charge for the access   and services as they see fit.  This requires coordination among the   network entities (e.g., SIP proxies), which includes correlating   charging records generated from different entities that are related   to the same session.   The correlation information includes, but is not limited to, a   globally unique charging identifier that makes the billing effort   easy.   A charging vector is defined as a collection of charging information.   The charging vector MAY be filled in during the establishment of a   dialog or standalone transaction outside a dialog.  The information   inside the charging vector MAY be filled in by multiple network   entities (including SIP proxies) and retrieved by multiple networkJesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   entities.  There are three types of correlation information to be   transferred: the IMS Charging Identity (ICID) value, the address of   the SIP proxy that creates the ICID value, and the Inter Operator   Identifier (IOI).   ICID is a charging value that identifies a dialog or a transaction   outside a dialog.  It is used to correlate charging records.  ICID   MUST be a globally unique value.  One way to achieve globally   uniqueness is to generate the ICID using two components: a locally   unique value and the hostname or IP address of the SIP proxy that   generated the locally unique value.   The IOI identifies both the originating and terminating networks   involved in a SIP dialog or transaction outside a dialog.  There MAY   be an IOI generated from each side of the dialog to identify the   network associated with each side.   Additionally, in a multi-network environment, one or more transit IOI   identifiers MAY be included along the path of the SIP dialog or   transaction outside a dialog.  Due to network policy, a void value   MAY be included instead of the transit network name.  The void value   is used to indicate that a transit network appeared but due to   operator policy the network name is not shown.   Furthermore, in a multi-service provider environment, one or more   transit IOIs MAY be included along the path of the SIP dialog or   transaction outside a dialog.  Due to service provider policy, a void   value MAY be included instead of the transit service provider.  The   void value is used to indicate that a transit appeared but due to   service provider policy the service provider name is not shown.   There is also expected to be access network charging information,   which consists of network-specific identifiers for the access level   (e.g., Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) radio access   network or IEEE 802.11b).  The details of the information for each   type of network are not described in this memo.   We define the SIP private header P-Charging-Vector header field.  A   proxy MAY include this header, if not already present, in either the   initial request or response for a dialog, or in the request and   response of a standalone transaction outside a dialog.  When present,   only one instance of the header MUST be present in a particular   request or response.   The mechanisms by which a SIP proxy collects the values to populate   the P-Charging-Vector header field are outside the scope of this   document.Jesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.6.1.  Applicability Statement for the P-Charging-Vector Header Field   The P-Charging-Vector header field is applicable within a single   private administrative domain or between different administrative   domains where there is a trust relationship between the domains.   The P-Charging-Vector header field is not included in a SIP message   sent to another network if there is no trust relationship.  The   header is not applicable if the administrative domain manages   charging in a way that does not require correlation of records from   multiple network entities (e.g., SIP proxies).   The P-Charging-Vector header field is applicable whenever the   following circumstances are met:   1.  A UA sends a REGISTER or dialog-initiating request (e.g., INVITE)       or mid-dialog request (e.g., UPDATE) or a standalone transaction       request outside a dialog to a proxy located in the administrative       domain of a private network.   2.  A registrar, proxy, or UA that is located in the administrative       domain of the private network wants to generate charging records.   3.  A proxy or UA that is located in the administrative domain of the       private network has access to the charging correlation       information for that network.   4.  Optionally, a registrar, proxy, or UA that is part of a second       administrative domain in another private network, whose SIP       requests and responses are traversed through, en route to/from       the first private network, wants to generate charging records and       correlate those records with those of the first private network.       This assumes that there is a trust relationship between both       private networks.4.6.2.  Usage of the P-Charging-Vector Header Field   The P-Charging-Vector header field is used to convey charging-related   information, such as the globally unique IMS Charging Identity (ICID)   value.   Typically, a SIP proxy that receives a SIP request that does not   contain a P-Charging-Vector header field MAY insert it, with those   parameters that are available at the SIP proxy.   A SIP proxy that receives a SIP request that contains a P-Charging-   Vector header field can use the values, such as the globally unique   ICID, to produce charging records.Jesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20144.6.2.1.  Procedures at the UA   This document does not specify any procedure at a UA located outside   the administrative domain of a private network (e.g., PSTN gateway or   conference mixer), with regard to the P-Charging-Vector header field.   UAs need not understand this header.   However, it might be possible that a UA be located within the   administrative domain of a private network (e.g., a PSTN gateway, or   conference mixer), and it may interact with the charging entities.   In this case, a UA MAY insert the P-Charging-Vector header field in a   SIP request or response when the next hop for the message is a proxy   or UA located in the same administrative domain.  Similarly, such a   UA MAY use the contents of the P-Charging-Vector header field in   communicating with the charging entities.4.6.2.2.  Procedures at the Proxy   A SIP proxy that supports this extension and receives a request or   response without the P-Charging-Vector header field MAY insert a   P-Charging-Vector header field prior to forwarding the message.  The   header is populated with one or more parameters, as described in the   syntax, including but not limited to, a globally unique charging   identifier.   If a proxy that supports this extension receives a request or   response with the P-Charging-Vector header field, it MAY retrieve the   information from the header value to use with application-specific   logic, i.e., charging.  If the next hop for the message is within the   trusted domain, then the proxy SHOULD include the P-Charging-Vector   header field in the outbound message.  If the next hop for the   message is outside the trusted domain, then the proxy MAY remove the   P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field.   Per local application-specific logic, the proxy MAY modify the   contents of the P-Charging-Vector header field prior to sending the   message.4.6.2.3.  Examples of Usage   We present an example in the context of the scenario shown in the   following network diagram:    Scenario                      UA1 --- P1 --- P2 --- UA2Jesske, et al.

Usage of the transit-ioi   The transit-ioi is added to the P-Charging-Vector header field when   traversing transit networks.  It is allowed to have multiple   transit-ioi values within one SIP message or response.  The values   within the response are independent from the values set up within the   request.   The element could be added either by a transit network itself or by   the succeeding network at the entry point where the preceding network   is known.  Based on network policy, a void value can be used.   Depending on the call scenario, each transit network can add either a   transit network name or a void value.  However, it cannot be   guaranteed that all the values that are added will appear within the   P-Charging-Vector header field.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 27]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   Some networks can screen the P-Charging-Vector header field and   delete transit-ioi values, e.g., networks not supporting this value.   There are scenarios where the appearance of the transit-ioi values of   all networks is needed to have a correct end-to-end view.   The policies of adding, modifying, and deleting transit-ioi values   are out of the scope of this document.   The transit-ioi contains an indexed value that MUST be incremented   with each value added to the P-Charging-Vector header field.   A void value has no index.  By adding the next value, the index has   to be incremented by the number of void entries +1.4.6.3.1.  Procedures at the Proxy   Procedures described withinSection 4.5.2.2 apply.  A transit-ioi MAY   be added or modified by a proxy.  A deletion of the transit-ioi or a   entry within the tranist-ioi could appear depending on the network   policy and trust rules.  This is also valid by replacing the   transit-ioi with a void value.4.6.4.  Usage of the related-icid4.6.4.1.  Procedures at the UA   The UAS acting as a B2BUA MAY add the related-icid into the   P-Charging-Vector header field into SIP request or SIP responses.   For example, the UAS can include the related-icid in a response to an   INVITE request when the received INVITE request creates a new call   leg towards the same remote end.  The value of the related-icid is   the icid value of the original dialog towards the remote end.4.6.4.2.  Procedures at the Proxy   Procedures described withinSection 4.5.2.2 apply.  A related-icid   and "related-icid-generated-at" MAY be added or modified by a proxy.   A deletion of the elements could appear depending on the network   policy and trust rules.5.  Formal Syntax   All of the mechanisms specified in this document are described in   both prose and an augmented Backus-Naur Form (BNF) defined inRFC5234 [RFC5234].  Further, several BNF definitions are inherited from   SIP and are not repeated here.

The icid-value represents the IMS charging ID, and   contains an identifier used for correlating charging records and   events.  The first proxy that receives the request generates this   value.   The icid-gen-addr parameter contains the hostname or IP address of   the proxy that generated the icid-value.   The orig-ioi and term-ioi parameters contain originating and   terminating interoperator identifiers.  They are used to correlate   charging records between different operators.  The originating IOI   represents the network responsible for the charging records in the   originating part of the session or standalone request.  Similarly,   the terminating IOI represents the network responsible for the   charging records in the terminating part of the session or standalone   request.Jesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   The transit-ioi parameter contains values with each of them,   respectively, representing a transit interoperator identifier.  It is   used to correlate charging records between different networks.  The   transit-ioi represents the network responsible for the records in the   transit part of the session or standalone request.   The related-icid parameter contains the icid-value of a related   charging record when more than one call leg is associated with one   session.  This optional parameter is used for correlation of charging   information between two or more call legs related to the same remote-   end dialog.   The related-icid-gen-addr parameter contains the hostname or IP   address of the proxy that generated the related-icid.   Applications using the P-Charging-Vector header field within their   own applicability are allowed to define generic-param extensions   without further reference to the IETF specification process.5.7.  New Headers   The P-Associated-URI header field can appear in SIP REGISTER method   and 2xx resonses.  The P-Called-Party-ID header field can appear in   SIP INVITE, OPTIONS, PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE, and MESSAGE methods and all   responses.  The P-Visited-Network-ID header field can appear in all   SIP methods except ACK, BYE, and CANCEL and all responses.  The   P-Access-Network-Info header field can appear in all SIP methods   except ACK and CANCEL.  The P-Charging-Vector header field can appear   in all SIP methods except CANCEL.  The P-Charging-Function-Addresses   header field can appear in all SIP methods except ACK and CANCEL.6.  Security Considerations6.1.  P-Associated-URI Header Field   The information returned in the P-Associated-URI header field is not   viewed as particularly sensitive.  Rather, it is simply informational   in nature, providing openness to the UAC with regard to the automatic   association performed by the registrar.  If end-to-end protection is   not used at the SIP layer, it is possible for proxies between the   registrar and the UA to modify the contents of the header value.   The lack of encryption, either end-to-end or hop-by-hop, may lead to   leak some privacy regarding the list of authorized identities.  For   instance, a user who registers an address-of-record of   sip:user1@example.com may get another SIP URI associated as   sip:first.last@example.com returned in the P-Associated-URI header   field value.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 33]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   An eavesdropper could possibly collect the list of identities a user   is registered.  This can have privacy implications.  To mitigate this   problem, this extension SHOULD only be used in a secured environment,   where encryption of SIP messages is provided either end-to-end or   hop-by-hop and where a trust relationship equivalent with that   defined inRFC 3325 [RFC3325] between entities exists.  That is, the   privacy of the user relies on the other entities in the session not   disclosing information that they have learned about the user.   While the P-Associated-URI header field value allows the implicit   registration of a bundle of URIs with one REGISTER Message, the   impact of security using the P-Associated-URI header field is no   higher than using separate REGISTER messages for each of the URIs.6.2.  P-Called-Party-ID Header Field   Due to the nature of the P-Called-Party-ID header field, this header   does not introduce any significant security concern.  It is possible   for an attacker to modify the contents of the header.  However, this   modification will not cause any harm to the session establishment.   An eavesdropper could possibly collect the list of identities a user   has registered.  This can have privacy implications.  To mitigate   this problem, this extension SHOULD only be used in a secured   environment, where encryption of SIP messages is provided either end-   to-end or hop-by-hop.   Normally, within a 3GPP environment, the P-Called-Party-ID is not   sent towards end users but may be exchanged between carriers where   other security mechanisms than SIP encryption are used.6.3.  P-Visited-Network-ID Header Field   The P-Visited-Network-ID header field assumes that there is trust   relationship between a home network and one or more transited visited   networks.  It is possible for other proxies between the proxy in the   visited network that inserts the header, and the registrar or the   home proxy, to modify the value of P-Visited-Network-ID header field.   Therefore, intermediaries participating in this mechanism MUST apply   a hop-by-hop integrity-protection mechanism such as IPsec or other   available mechanisms in order to prevent such attacks.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 34]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 20146.4.  P-Access-Network-Info Header Field   A Trust Domain is formally defined inRFC 3324 [RFC3324].  For the   purposes of this document, we refer to the 3GPP trust domain as the   collection of SIP proxies and application servers that are operated   by a 3GPP network operator and are compliant with the requirements   expressed in 3GPP TS 24.229 [TS24.229].   This extension assumes that the access network is trusted by the UA   (because the UA's home network has a trust relationship with the   access network), as described earlier in this document.   This extension assumes that the information added to the header by   the UAC should be sent only to trusted entities and MUST NOT be used   outside of the trusted administrative network domain.   The SIP proxy that provides services to the user, utilizes the   information contained in this header to provide additional services   and UAs are expected to provide correct information.  However, there   are no security problems resulting from a UA inserting incorrect   information.  Networks providing services based on the information   carried in the P-Access-Network-Info header field will therefore need   to trust the UA sending the information.  A rogue UA sending false   access network information will do no more harm than to restrict the   user from using certain services.   The mechanism provided in this document is designed primarily for   private systems like 3GPP.  Most security requirements are met by way   of private standardized solutions.   For instance, 3GPP will use the P-Access-Network-Info header field to   carry relatively sensitive information like the cell ID.  Therefore,   the information MUST NOT be sent outside of the 3GPP domain.   The UA is aware -- if it is a 3GPP UA -- that it is operating within   a trusted domain.   The 3GPP UA is aware of whether or not a secure association to the   home network domain for transporting SIP signaling is currently   available, and, as such, the sensitive information carried in the   P-Access-Network-Info header field MUST NOT be sent in any initial   unauthenticated and unprotected requests (e.g., REGISTER).   Any UA that is using this extension and is not part of a private   trusted domain should not consider the mechanism as secure, and, as   such, MUST NOT send sensitive information in the P-Access-Network-   Info header field.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 35]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   Any proxy that is operating in a private trust domain where the   P-Access-Network-Info header field is supported is REQUIRED to delete   the header, if it is present, from any message prior to forwarding it   outside of the trusted domain.   A proxy receiving a message containing the P-Access-Network-Info   header field from an untrusted entity is not able to guarantee the   validity of the contents.  Thus, this content SHOULD be deleted based   on local policy.6.5.  P-Charging-Function-Addresses Header Field   It is expected as normal behavior that proxies within a closed   network will modify the values of the P-Charging-Function-Addresses   header field and insert it into a SIP request or response.  However,   the proxies that share this information MUST have a trust   relationship.   If an untrusted entity were inserted between trusted entities, it   could potentially substitute a different charging function address.   Therefore, an integrity-protection mechanism such as IPsec or other   available mechanisms MUST be applied in order to prevent such   attacks.  Since each trusted proxy MAY need to view or modify the   values in the P-Charging-Function-Addresses header field, the   protection should be applied on a hop-by-hop basis.6.6.  P-Charging-Vector Header Field   It is expected as normal behavior that proxies within a closed   network will modify the values of the P-Charging-Vector header field   and insert it into a SIP request or response.  However, these proxies   that share this information MUST have a trust relationship.   If an untrusted entity were inserted between trusted entities, it   could potentially interfere with the charging correlation mechanism.   Therefore, an integrity-protection mechanism such as IPsec or other   available mechanisms MUST be applied in order to prevent such   attacks.  Since each trusted proxy MAY need to view or modify the   values in the P-Charging-Vector header field, the protection should   be applied on a hop-by-hop basis.Jesske, et al.

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014Appendix A.  Changes fromRFC 3455   1.   Procedures for the P-Associated-URI header field at a proxy.RFC 3455 indicates that it defines no procedures for the        P-Associated-URI header field at a proxy.  What is implicitly        meant here is that the proxy does not add, read, modify, or        delete the header; therefore,RFC 3261 proxy procedures only        apply to the header.   2.   P-Called-Party-ID header field and the History-Info header        field: At the timeRFC 3455 was written, the History-Info header        field was a long way from specification.  This header has now        been specified and approved inRFC 7044.  It is acknowledged        that the History-Info header field will provide equivalent        coverage to that of the P-Called-Party-ID header field.        However, the P-Called-Party-ID header field is used entirely        within the 3GPP system and does not appear to SIP entities        outside that of a single 3GPP operator.   3.   Procedures at the UA for the P-Charging-Function Addresses        header field: The text inSection 4.5.2.1 of RFC 3455 does not        adequately take into account procedures for UAs located inside        the private network, e.g., as gateways and such that may play a        full part in network charging procedures.Section 4.5.2.1 is        replaced with new text.   4.   The text inSection 4.6.2.1 of RFC 3455 does not adequately take        into account procedures for UAs located inside the private        network, e.g., as gateways and such that may play a full part in        network charging procedures.Section 4.6.2.1 is now replaced        with new text.   5.   Recognition of additional values of access technology in the        P-Access-Network-Info header field (Section 4.4): A number of        new access technologies are contemplated in 3GPP, and the reuse        of IMS to support Next Generation Networks (NGN) is also        resulting in new access technologies.  Values for access        technologies are defined explicitly inRFC 3455, and no IANA        procedures are defined to maintain a separate registry.  In        particular, the new values: "IEEE 802.11", "IEEE-802.11g",        "IEEE-802.11n", "ADSL" / "ADSL2", "ADSL2+", "RADSL", "SDSL",        "HDSL", "HDSL2", "G.SHDSL", "VDSL", "IDSL", "IEEE-802.3",        "IEEE-802.3a", "IEEE-802.3e", "IEEE-802.3i", "IEEE-802.3j",        "IEEE-802.3u", "IEEE-802.3ab", "IEEE-802.3ae", "IEEE-802.3ak",        "IEEE-802.3aq", "IEEE-802.3an", "IEEE-802.3y", "IEEE-802.3z",        and "IEEE-802.3y" are defined.Jesske, et al.                Informational                    [Page 41]

RFC 7315              3GPP SIP P-Header Extensions             July 2014   6.   Replacement of existing value of access technology in the        P-Access-Network-Info header field (Section 4.4): The value of        "3GPP-CDMA2000" was replaced long ago in 3GPP2 by three new        values: "3GPP2-1X", "3GPP2-1X-HRPD", and "3GPP2-UMB".  It is not        believed that there was any deployment of the "3GPP-CDMA2000"        value.   7.   Network-provided P-Access-Network-Info header field: The        P-Access-Network-Info header field may additionally be provided        by proxies within the network.  This does not impact the values        provided by a UA; rather, the header is repeated.  Such values        are identified by the string "network-provided".  A special        class of values are defined for use here, as the same        granularity of values may not be possible as for those available        from the UA: "3GPP-GERAN", "3GPP-UTRAN", "3GPP-WLAN",        "3GPP-GAN", and "3GPP-HSPA".  Outbound proxies remove P-Access-        Network-Info header fields containing the "network-provided"        value.   8.   Definition of additional parameters to the P-Charging-Vector        header field:Section 5.6 of RFC 3455 defines the syntax of the        P-Charging-Vector header field.  Additional parameters were        considered too application specific for specification inRFC3455, but it was acknowledged that they would exist, and indeed        additional specification of such parameters, relating to        specific access technologies, has occurred in 3GPP.  Therefore,        this update states that applications using the P-Charging-Vector        header field within their own applicability are allowed to        define generic-param extensions without further reference to the        IETF specification process.   9.   InSection 5.7, it was added that the P-Called-Party-ID can        appear in the PUBLISH method.   10.  Referencing:RFC 3427 was deleted from the References section as        it was not used within the document.  Various informative        references have now been published as RFCs and have been updated        to include the appropriate RFC number.  References to 3GPP TS        32.200 were replaced by references to 3GPP TS 32.240 [TS32.240],        which is the successor specification.  References to 3GPP TS        32.225 were replaced by references to 3GPP TS 32.260 [TS32.260],        which is the successor specification.  The referencing style was        changed to symbolic references.  Dates have been removed from        all 3GPP references (i.e., latest version applies).Jesske, et al.
