Abstract 
    
   This document describes a private Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) 
   header (P-header) to be used by the European Telecommunications 
   Standards Institute (ETSI) Telecommunications and Internet converged 
   Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks (TISPAN) for the 
   purpose of authorizing early media flows in Third Generation  
   Partnership Project (3GPP) IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). This 
   header is useful in any SIP network that is interconnected with 
   other SIP networks and needs to control the flow of media in the 
   early dialog state.

1. Introduction 
    
   This document defines the use of the P-Early-Media header for use 
   within SIP [1] messages in certain SIP networks to authorize the 
   cut-through of backward and/or forward early media. The P-Early-
   Media header is intended for use in a SIP network, such as a 3GPP 
   IMS, that prohibits the exchange of early media between end users, 
   that is interconnected with other SIP networks that have unknown, 
   untrusted or different policies regarding early media, and that has 
   the capability to "gate" (enable/disable) the flow of early media 
   to/from user equipment. 
    
   Within an isolated SIP network it is possible to gate early media 
   associated with all endpoints within the network to enforce a 
   desired early media policy among network endpoints.  However, when a 
   SIP network is interconnected with other SIP networks, only the 
   boundary node connected to the external network can determine which 
   early media policy to apply to a session established between 
   endpoints on different sides of the boundary.  The P-Early-Media 
   header provides a means for this boundary node to communicate this 
   early media policy decision to other nodes within the network.

2. Applicability Statement 
    
   The use of this extension is only applicable inside a 'Trust Domain' 
   as defined in RFC 3325 [9].  Nodes in such a Trust Domain are 
   explicitly trusted by its users and end-systems to authorize early 
   media requests only when allowed by early media policy within the 
   Trust Domain.   
    
   This document does NOT offer a general early media authorization 
   model suitable for inter-domain use or use in the Internet at large.  
   Furthermore, since the early media requests are not 
   cryptographically certified, they are subject to forgery, replay, 
   and falsification in any architecture that does not meet the 
   requirements of the Trust Domain. 
    
   An early media request also lacks an indication of whom specifically 
   is making or modifying the request, and so it must be assumed that 
   the Trust Domain is making the request.  Therefore, the information 
   is only meaningful when securely received from a node known to be a 
   member of the Trust Domain. 
    
   Although this extension can be used with parallel forking, it does 
   not improve on the known problems with early media and parallel 
   forking. 
    
   Despite these limitations, there are sufficiently useful specialized 
   deployments that meet the assumptions described above, and can 
   accept the limitations that result, to warrant publication of this 
   mechanism.  An example deployment would be a closed network that 
   emulates a traditional circuit switched telephone network.

4. Background on early media authorization 
    
   PSTN networks typically provide call progress information as 
   backward early media from the terminating switch towards the calling 
   party.  In a SIP network, backward early media flows from the User 
   Agent Server (UAS) towards the User Agent Client (UAC).  PSTN 
   networks also use forward early media from the calling party towards 
   the terminating switch under some circumstances for applications 
   such as digit collection for secondary dialing. In a SIP network, 
   forward early media flows from the UAC towards the UAS.   
    
   PSTN networks typically allow backward and/or forward early media 
   since they are used for the purpose of progressing the call to the 
   answer state and do not involve the exchange of data between 
   endpoints. On the other hand, a SIP network may have a policy to 
   prohibit backward early media from SIP user equipment and to 
   prohibit forward media towards SIP user equipment, either of which 
   may contain user data. A SIP network containing both PSTN gateways 
   and SIP end devices, for example, can maintain such an early media 
   policy by gating off any early media with a SIP end device acting as 
   UAS, gating on early media with a SIP end device acting as UAC, and 
   appropriately gating early media at each PSTN gateway.  
   Unfortunately, a SIP network interconnected with another SIP network 
   may have no means of assuring that the interconnected network is 
   implementing a compatible early media policy. 
    
   Without this extension, a SIP network interconnected with other SIP 
   networks provides no mechanism for an originating SIP endpoint 
   within the network, be it a PSTN gateway or SIP user equipment, from 
   identifying if the terminating SIP endpoint, which may be located 
   outside the network, is a SIP endpoint that is authorized either to 
   send backward early media or to receive forward early media. 
    
    
4.1. Backward early media  
    
   Backward early media in the PSTN typically comprises call progress 
   information such as ringing, or announcements regarding special 
   handling such as forwarding.  It may also include requests for 
   further information, such as a credit card number to be entered as 
   forward early media in the form of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) 
   tones or speech. Backward early media of this type provides 
   information to the calling party strictly for the purpose of 
   progressing the call and involves no exchange of data between end

   users.  The usual PSTN charging policy assumes that no data is 
   exchanged between users until the call has been answered. 
    
   A terminating SIP User Agent (UA) outside of the SIP network, on the 
   other hand, may provide any user data in a backward early media 
   stream.  Thus if the network implements the usual early media 
   policy, the network equipment gating the backward early media flow 
   for the originating UA must distinguish between authorized early 
   media from a terminating SIP endpoint and unauthorized early media 
   from another SIP device outside of the network.  Given the 
   assumption of a transitive trust relationship between SIP servers in 
   the network, this can be accomplished by including some information 
   in a backward SIP message that identifies the presence of authorized 
   backward early media.  Since it is necessary to verify that this 
   indication comes from a trusted source, it is necessary for each 
   server on the path back to the originating UA be able to verify the 
   trust relationship with the previous server and to remove such an 
   indication when it cannot do so.  A server on the boundary to an 
   untrusted SIP network can assure that no indication of authorized 
   backward early media passes from an external UAS to a UAC within the 
   network.  Thus the use of a private header that can be modified by 
   SIP proxies is to be preferred over the use of a Multipurpose 
   Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) attachment that cannot be modified 
   in this way.   
    
    
4.2. Forward early media  
    
   Forward early media is less common than backward early media in the 
   PSTN.  It is typically used to collect secondary dialed digits, to 
   collect credit card numbers, or to collect other DTMF or speech 
   responses for the purpose of further directing the call.  Forward 
   early media in the PSTN is always directed toward a network server 
   for the purpose of progressing a call and involves no exchange of 
   data between end users.   
    
   A terminating SIP UA outside of the SIP network, on the other hand, 
   may receive any user data in a forward early media stream, thus if 
   the network implements the usual early media policy, the network 
   equipment gating the forward early media flow for the originating UA 
   must distinguish between a terminating endpoint that is authorized 
   to receive forward early media, and another SIP device outside of 
   the network that is not authorized to receive forward early media 
   containing user data.  This authorization can be accomplished in the 
   same manner as for backward early media by including some 
   information in a backward SIP message that identifies that the 
   terminating side is authorized to receive forward early media.

5. Applicability of RFC 3959 and RFC 3960 
    
   The private header extension defined in this document is applicable 
   to the gateway model defined in RFC 3960 [7], since the PSTN gateway 
   is the primary requestor of early media in an IMS.  For the same 
   reason, neither the application server model of RFC 3960, nor the 
   early-session disposition type defined in RFC 3959 [6] is 
   applicable. 
    
   The gateway model of RFC 3960 [7] allows for individual networks to 
   create local policy with respect to the handling of early media, but 
   does not address the case where a network is interconnected with 
   other networks with unknown, untrusted or different early media 
   policies.  Without the kind of information in the P-Early-Media 
   header, it is not possible for the network to determine whether cut-
   through of early media could lead to the transfer of data between 
   end-users during session establishment. 
    
   Thus the private header extension in this document is a natural 
   extension of the gateway model of RFC 3960 [7] that is applicable 
   within a transitive trust domain. 
    
    
6. Overview of Operation 
    
   This document defines a new P-Early-Media header field for the 
   purpose of requesting and authorizing requests for backward and/or 
   forward early media.  A UAC capable of recognizing the P-Early-Media 
   header may include the header in an INVITE request.  The P-Early-
   Media header in an INVITE request contains no parameters.     
    
   As members of the Trust Domain, each proxy receiving an INVITE 
   request must decide whether to insert or delete the P-Early-Media 
   header before forwarding.   
    
   A UAS receiving an INVITE request can use the presence of the P-
   Early-Media header in the request to decide whether to request early 
   media authorization in subsequent messages towards the UAC.  After 
   receiving an incoming INVITE request, the UAS requesting backward 
   and/or forward early media will include the P-Early-Media header in 
   a message towards the UAC within the dialog, including direction 
   parameter(s) that identify for each media line in the session 
   whether the early media request is for backward media, forward 
   media, both or neither.  The UAS can change its request for early 
   media by including a modified P-Early-Media header in a subsequent 
   message towards the UAC within the dialog. 
    
   Each proxy in the network receiving the P-Early-Media header in a 
   message towards the UAC has the responsibility for assuring that the 
   early media request comes from an authorized source.  If a P-Early-
   Media header arrives from either an untrusted source, a source not 
 
 
 
Ejzak                                                         [Page 6] 
INTERNET-DRAFT            P-Early-Media Header        October 4, 2006 
 
 
   allowed to send backward early media, or a source not allowed to 
   receive forward early media, then the proxy may remove the P-Early-
   Media header or alter the direction parameter(s) of the P-Early-
   Media header before forwarding the message, based on local policy.   
    
   A proxy in the network not receiving the P-Early-Media header in a 
   message towards the UAC may insert one based on local policy. 
    
   If the proxy also performs gating of early media, then it uses the 
   parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media header to decide whether to open 
   or close the gates for backward and forward early media flow(s) 
   between the UAs.  The proxy performing gating of early media may 
   also add a "gated" parameter to the P-Early-Media header before 
   forwarding the message so that other gating proxies in the path can 
   choose to leave open their gates. 
    
   If the UAC is a trusted server within the network (e.g., a PSTN 
   gateway), then the UAC may use the parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media 
   header in messages received from the UAS to decide whether to 
   perform early media gating or cut-through and to decide whether or 
   not to render backward early media in preference to generating 
   ringback based on the receipt of a 180 Ringing response. 
    
   If the UAC is associated with user equipment, then the network will 
   have assigned a proxy the task of performing early media gating, so 
   that the parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media header received at such a 
   UAC do not require that the UAC police the early media flow(s), but 
   they do provide additional information that the UAC may use to 
   render media. 
    
   The UAC and proxies in the network may also insert, delete or modify 
   the P-Early-Media header in messages towards the UAS within the 
   dialog according to local policy, but the interpretation of the 
   header when used in this way is a matter of local policy and not 
   defined herein.  The use of direction parameter(s) in this header 
   could be used to inform the UAS of the final early media 
   authorization status. 
    
    
7. Limitations of the P-Early-Media header 
    
   The P-Early-Media header does not apply to any SDP with Content-
   Disposition: early-session [6]. 
    
   When parallel forking occurs, there is no reliable way to correlate 
   early media authorization in a dialog with the media from the 
   corresponding endpoint, since the SDP messages do not identify the 
   RTP source address of any media stream.  When a UAC or proxy 
   receives multiple early dialogs and cannot accurately identify the 
   source of each media stream, it SHOULD use the most restrictive 
   early media authorization it receives on any of the dialogs to 
 
 
 
Ejzak                                                         [Page 7] 
INTERNET-DRAFT            P-Early-Media Header        October 4, 2006 
 
 
   decide the policy to apply towards all received media.  When early 
   media usage is desired for any reason it is advisable to disable 
   parallel forking using callerprefs [14]. 
    
   Although the implementation of media gating is outside the scope of 
   this extension, note that media gating must be implemented carefully 
   in the presence of NATs and protocols that aid in NAT traversal.  
   Media gating may also introduce a potential for media clipping that 
   is similar to that created during parallel forking or any other 
   feature that may disable early media, such as custom ringback. 
    
    
8. The P-Early-Media header 
    
   The P-Early-Media header with no parameters MAY be included in an 
   INVITE request to indicate that the UAC or a proxy on the path 
   recognizes the header. 
    
   A network entity MAY request the authorization of early media or 
   change a request for authorization of early media by including the 
   P-Early-Media header in any message allowed by Table 1 within the 
   dialog towards the sender of the INVITE request.  The P-Early-Media 
   header includes one or more direction parameters where each has one 
   of the values: "sendrecv", "sendonly", "recvonly", or "inactive", 
   following the convention used for Session Description Protocol (SDP) 
   [10] stream directionality.  Each parameter applies, in order, to 
   the media lines in the corresponding SDP messages establishing 
   session media.  Unrecognized parameters SHALL be silently discarded.  
   Non-direction parameters are ignored for purposes of early media 
   authorization.  If there are more direction parameters than media 
   lines, the excess SHALL be silently discarded.  If there are fewer 
   direction parameters than media lines, the value of the last 
   direction parameter SHALL apply to all remaining media lines.  A 
   message directed towards the UAC containing a P-Early-Media header 
   with no recognized direction parameters SHALL NOT be interpreted as 
   an early media authorization request.   
    
   The parameter value "sendrecv" indicates a request for authorization 
   of early media associated with the corresponding media line, both 
   from the UAS towards the UAC and from the UAC towards the UAS (both 
   backward and forward early media).  The value "sendonly" indicates a 
   request for authorization of early media from the UAS towards the 
   UAC (backward early media), and not in the other direction.  The 
   value "recvonly" indicates a request for authorization of early 
   media from the UAC towards the UAS (forward early media), and not in 
   the other direction.  The value "inactive" indicates either a 
   request that no early media associated with the corresponding media 
   line be authorized, or a request for revocation of authorization of 
   previously authorized early media.   
    

 
 
 
Ejzak                                                         [Page 8] 
INTERNET-DRAFT            P-Early-Media Header        October 4, 2006 
 
 
   The P-Early-Media header in any message within a dialog towards the 
   sender of the INVITE request MAY also include the non-direction 
   parameter "gated" to indicate that a network entity on the path 
   towards the UAS is already gating the early media according to the 
   direction parameter(s).  When included in the P-Early-Media header, 
   the "gated" parameter SHALL come after all direction parameters in 
   the parameter list. 
    
   When receiving a message directed toward the UAC without the P-
   Early-Media header and no previous early media authorization request 
   has been received within the dialog, the default early media 
   authorization depends on local policy and may depend on whether the 
   header was included in the INVITE request.  After an early media 
   authorization request has been received within a dialog and a 
   subsequent message is received without the P-Early-Media header, the 
   previous early media authorization remains unchanged.   
    
   The P-Early-Media header in any message within a dialog towards the 
   UAS MAY be ignored or interpreted according to local policy. 
    
   The P-Early-Media header does not interact with SDP offer/answer 
   procedures in any way.  Early media authorization is not influenced 
   by the state of the SDP offer/answer procedures (including 
   preconditions and directionality) and does not influence the state 
   of the SDP offer/answer procedures.  The P-Early-Media header may or 
   may not be present in messages containing SDP.  The most recently 
   received early media authorization applies to the corresponding 
   media line in the session established for the dialog until receipt 
   of the 200 OK response to the INVITE request, at which point all 
   media lines in the session are implicitly authorized.  Early media 
   flow in a particular direction requires that early media in that 
   direction is authorized, that media flow in that direction is 
   enabled by the SDP direction attribute for the stream, and that any 
   applicable preconditions [16] are met.  Early media authorization 
   does not override the SDP direction attribute or preconditions 
   state, and the SDP direction attribute does not override early media 
   authorization.

INTERNET-DRAFT            P-Early-Media Header        October 4, 2006 
 
 
    
8.1. Procedures at the User Agent Client 
    
   A User Agent Client MAY include the P-Early-Media header with no 
   parameters in an INVITE request to indicate that it recognizes the 
   header. 
    
   A User Agent Client receiving a P-Early-Media header MAY use the 
   parameter(s) of the header to gate or cut-through early media, and 
   to decide whether to render early media from the UAS to the UAC in 
   preference to any locally generated ringback triggered by a 180 
   Ringing response.  If a proxy is providing the early media gating 
   function for the User Agent Client, then the gateway model of RFC 
   3960 [7] for rendering of early media is applicable.  A User Agent 
   Client without a proxy in the network performing early media gating 
   that receives a P-Early-Media header SHOULD perform gating or cut-
   through of early media according to the parameter(s) of the header. 
    
    
8.2. Procedures at the User Agent Server 
    
   A User Agent Server that is requesting authorization to send or 
   receive early media MAY insert a P-Early-Media header with 
   appropriate parameters(s) in any message allowed in table 1 towards 
   the UAC within the dialog.  A User Agent Server MAY request changes 
   in early media authorization by inserting a P-Early-Media header 
   with appropriate parameter(s) in any subsequent message allowed in 
   table 1 towards the UAC within the dialog.   
    
   If the P-Early-Media header is not present in the INVITE request, 
   the User Agent Server MAY choose to suppress early media 
   authorization requests and MAY choose to execute alternate early 
   media procedures.  
    
    
8.3. Procedures at the proxy 
    
   When forwarding an INVITE request, a proxy MAY add, retain or delete 
   the P-Early-Media header, depending on local policy and the trust 
   relationship with the sender and/or receiver of the request.   
    
   When forwarding a message allowed in table 1 towards the UAC, a 
   proxy MAY add, modify or delete a P-Early-Media header, depending on 
   local policy and the trust relationship with the sender and/or 
   receiver of the message.  In addition, if the proxy controls the 
   gating of early media for the User Agent Client, it SHOULD use the 
   contents of the P-Early-Media header to gate the early media 
   according to the definitions of the header parameters defined in 
   clause 8.

9. Formal syntax 
    
   The syntax of the P-Early-Media header is described below in ABNF 
   according to RFC 4234 [8], as an extension to the ABNF for SIP in 
   RFC 3261 [1]. 
    
      P-Early-Media = "P-Early-Media" HCOLON  
                       [ em-param *(COMMA em-param) ] 
      em-param      = "sendrecv" / "sendonly" / "recvonly"  
                       / "inactive" / "gated" / token 
    
    
10. Security Considerations 
    
   There are no confidentiality concerns associated with the P-Early-
   Media header.  It is desirable to maintain the integrity of the 
   direction parameters in the header across each hop between servers 
   to avoid the potential for unauthorized use of early media.  It is 
   assumed that the P-Early-Media header is used within the context of 
   the 3GPP IMS trust domain or a similar trust domain, consisting of a 
   collection of SIP servers maintaining pair wise security 
   associations.  In an IMS it is only necessary to police the use of 
   the P-Early-Media header at the boundary to user equipment served by 
   the network and at the boundary to peer networks.  It is assumed 
   that boundary servers in the IMS will have local policy for the 
   treatment of the P-Early-Media header as it is sent to or received 
   from any possible server external to the network.  Since boundary 
   servers are free to modify or remove any P-Early-Media header in SIP 
   messages forwarded across the boundary, the integrity of the P-
   Early-Media header can be verified to the extent that the 
   connections to external servers are secured.  The authenticity of 
   the P-Early-Media header can only be assured to the extent that the 
   external servers are trusted to police the authenticity of the 
   header. 
    
11. IANA Considerations 
    
11.1. Registration of the "P-Early-Media" SIP header 
    
   Name of Header:          P-Early-Media 
    
   Short form:              none
