1.   Overview 
    
   The call flows shown in this document were developed in the design of 
   a SIP IP communications network.  They represent an example 
   minimum set of functionality. 
    
   It is the hope of the authors that this document will be useful for 
   SIP implementors, designers, and protocol researchers alike and will 
   help further the goal of a standard implementation of RFC 3261[2].  
   These flows represent carefully checked and working group reviewed 
   scenarios of the most basic examples as a companion to the 
   specifications. 
    
   These call flows are based on the current version 2.0 of SIP in 
   RFC 3261[2] with SDP usage described in RFC 3264[3]. Other RFCs also 
   comprise the SIP standard but are not used in this set of basic call 
   flows. 
    
   Call flow examples of SIP interworking with the PSTN through gateways 
   are contained in a companion document, RFC xxxx[4].

                     SIP Basic Call Flow Examples         October 2002 
 
 
    
1.1     General Assumptions 
    
   A number of architecture, network, and protocol assumptions underlie 
   the call flows in this document. Note that these assumptions are not 
   requirements.  They are outlined in this section so that they may be 
   taken into consideration and to aid in the understanding of the call 
   flow examples. 
    
   The authentication of SIP User Agents in these example call flows is 
   performed using HTTP Digest as defined in [2] and [5].   
    
   Some Proxy Servers in these call flows insert Record-Route headers 
   into requests to ensure that they are in the signaling path for 
   future message exchanges.   
    
   These flows show TCP, TLS, and UDP for transport.  Other transport 
   schemes could also be used.  If UDP is used, care must be taken to 
   avoid packet fragmentation and congestion. 
 
1.2     Legend for Message Flows 
    
   Dashed lines (---) represent signaling messages that are mandatory to 
   the call scenario. These messages can be SIP or PSTN 
   signaling.  The arrow indicates the direction of message flow. 
    
   Double dashed lines (===) represent media paths between network 
   elements. 
    
   Messages with parentheses around their name represent optional 
   messages. 
    
   Messages are identified in the Figures as F1, F2, etc.  This 
   references the message details in the list that follows the Figure. 
   Comments in the message details are shown in the following form: 
    
    /* Comments. */ 
    
1.3     SIP Protocol Assumptions 
    
   This document is informational only and is NOT NORMATIVE in any 
   sense, in that it does not prescribe the flows that are shown, indeed 
   they MUST NOT be copied due to the reasons described in the next 
   paragraph.  On the other hand, the basic call flows represent well-
   reviewed examples of SIP usage that are best common practice 
   according to community consensus. 
    
   For simplicity in reading and editing the document, there are a 
   number of differences between some of the examples and actual SIP

   messages.  For example, the HTTP Digest responses are not actual MD5 
   encodings.  Call-IDs are often repeated, and CSeq counts often begin 
   at 1.  Header fields are usually shown in the same order.  Usually 
   only the minimum required header field set is shown, others that 
   would normally be present such as Accept, Supported, Allow, etc are 
   not shown.

2.   SIP Registration 
    
   Registration binds a particular device Contact URI with a SIP user 
   Address of Record (AOR).  
    
2.1     Successful New Registration 
    
    User B                        SIP Server 
     |                               | 
     |          REGISTER F1          | 
     |------------------------------>| 
     |      401 Unauthorized F2      | 
     |<------------------------------| 
     |          REGISTER F3          | 
     |------------------------------>| 
     |            200 OK F4          | 
     |<------------------------------| 
     |                               | 
    
   User B sends a SIP REGISTER request to the SIP server.  The request 
   includes the user's contact list.  This flow shows the use of HTTP 
   Digest for authentication using TLS transport.  TLS transport is used 
   due to the lack of integrity protection in HTTP Digest and the danger 
   of registration hijacking without it, as described in RFC 3261 [2].  
   The SIP server provides a challenge to User B.  User B enters her/his 
   valid user ID and password.  User B's SIP client encrypts the user 
   information according to the challenge issued by the SIP server and 
   sends the response to the SIP server.  The SIP server validates the 
   user's credentials.  It registers the user in its contact database 
   and returns a response (200 OK) to User B's SIP client.  The response 
   includes the user's current contact list in Contact headers.  The 
   format of the authentication shown is HTTP digest.  It is assumed 
   that User B has not previously registered with this Server.

   User B wishes to update the list of addresses where the SIP server 
   will redirect or forward INVITE requests. 
    
   User B sends a SIP REGISTER request to the SIP server.  User B's 
   request includes an updated contact list.  Since the user already has 
   authenticated with the server, the user supplies authentication 
   credentials with the request and is not challenged by the server. 
   The SIP server validates the user's credentials.  It registers the 
   user in its contact database, updates the user's contact list, and 
   returns a response (200 OK) to User B's SIP client.  The response 
   includes the user's current contact list in Contact headers.

   User B wishes to cancel their registration with the SIP 
   server. User B sends a SIP REGISTER request to the 
   SIP server.  The request has an expiration period of 0 and applies to 
   all existing contact locations.  Since the user already has 
   authenticated with the server, the user supplies authentication 
   credentials with the request and is not challenged by the server. 
   The SIP server validates the user's credentials.  It clears the 
   user's contact list, and returns a response (200 OK) to User B's SIP 
   client.

   User B sends a SIP REGISTER request to the SIP Server.  The SIP 
   server provides a challenge to User B.  User B enters her/his user ID 
   and password.  User B's SIP client encrypts the user information 
   according to the challenge issued by the SIP server and sends the 
   response to the SIP server.  The SIP server attempts to validate the 
   user's credentials, but they are not valid (the user's password does 
   not match the password established for the user's account).  The 
   server returns a response (401 Unauthorized) to User B's SIP client.

3.    SIP Session Establishment 
    
   This section details session establishment between two SIP User 
   Agents (UAs): User A and User B.  User A (LittleGuy 
   sip:UserA@atlanta.com) and User B (BigGuy sip:UserB@biloxi.com) are 
   assumed to be SIP phones or SIP-enabled devices.  The successful 
   calls show the initial signaling, the exchange of media information 
   in the form of SDP payloads, the establishment of the media session, 
   then finally the termination of the call. 
    
   HTTP Digest authentication is used by Proxy Servers to authenticate 
   the caller User A. It is assumed that User B has registered with 
   Proxy Server Proxy 2 as per Section 2 to be able to receive the calls 
   via the Proxy.

   In this scenario, User A completes a call to User B using two proxies 
   Proxy 1 and Proxy 2.  The initial INVITE (F1) contains a pre-loaded 
   Route header with the address of Proxy 1 (Proxy 1 is configured as a 
   default outbound proxy for User A).  The request does not contain the 
   Authorization credentials Proxy 1 requires, so a 407 Proxy 
   Authorization response is sent containing the challenge information. 
   A new INVITE (F4) is then sent containing the correct credentials and 
   the call proceeds.  The call terminates when User B disconnects by 
   initiating a BYE message.

   Proxy 1 inserts a Record-Route header into the INVITE message to 
   ensure that it is present in all subsequent message exchanges.  Proxy 
   2 also inserts itself into the Record-Route header.  The ACK (F15) 
   and BYE (F18) both have a Route header.

   In this scenario, User A completes a call to User B using two proxies 
   Proxy 1 and Proxy 2.  User A has valid credentials in both domains. 
   Since the initial INVITE (F1) does not contain the 
   Authorization credentials Proxy 1 requires, so a 407 Proxy 
   Authorization response is sent containing the challenge information. 
   A new INVITE (F4) is then sent containing the correct credentials and

   the call proceeds after Proxy 2 challenges and receives valid 
   credentials.  The call terminates when User B disconnects by 
   initiating a BYE message. 
    
   Proxy 1 inserts a Record-Route header into the INVITE message to 
   ensure that it is present in all subsequent message exchanges.  Proxy 
   2 also inserts itself into the Record-Route header.

   In this scenario, User A completes a call to User B via a Proxy 
   Server. User A is configured for a primary SIP Proxy Server Proxy 1 
   and a secondary SIP Proxy Server Proxy 2 (Or is able to use DNS SRV 
   records to locate Proxy 1 and Proxy 2).  User A has valid credentials 
   for both domains.  Proxy 1 is out of service and does not respond to 
   INVITEs (it is reachable, but unresponsive).  User A then completes 
   the call to User B using Proxy 2.

   User A completes a call to User B through a ALG (Application Layer 
   Gateway) and a SIP Proxy.  The routing through the ALG is 
   accomplished using a pre-loaded Route header in the INVITE F1. Note 
   that the media stream setup is not end-to-end - the ALG terminates 
   both media streams and bridges them.  This is done by the ALG 
   modifying the SDP in the INVITE (F1) and 200 OK (F10) messages, and 
   possibly any 18x or ACK messages containing SDP. 
    
   In addition to firewall traversal, this Back-to-Back User Agent 
   (B2BUA) could be used as part of an anonymizer 
   service (in which all identifying information on User A would be 
   removed), or to perform codec media conversion, such as mu-law to A- 
   law conversion of PCM on an international call. 
    
   Also note that Proxy 2 does not Record-Route in this call flow.

   In this scenario, User A places a call to User B using first a 
   Redirect server then a Proxy Server.  The INVITE message is first 
   sent to the Redirect Server.  The Server returns a 302 Moved 
   Temporarily response (F2) containing a Contact header with User B's 
   current SIP address.  User A then generates a new INVITE and sends to 
   User B via the Proxy Server and the call proceeds normally.  In this 
   example, no SDP is present in the INVITE, so the SDP is carried in 
   the ACK message. 
    
   The call is terminated when User B sends a BYE message.

   This example shows a session in which the media is changes midway 
   through the session.  When User BĘs IP address changes during the 
   session, User B sends a re-INVITE containing a new Contact and SDP 
   (version number incremented) information to A.  In this flow, the 
   proxy does not Record-Route so is not in the SIP messaging path after 
   the initial exchange.

   In this scenario, User A gives up on the call before User B answers 
   (sends a 200 OK response).  User A sends a CANCEL (F9) since no final 
   response had been received from User B.  If a 200 OK to the INVITE 
   had crossed with the CANCEL, User A would have sent an ACK then a BYE 
   to User B in order to properly terminate the call. 
    
   Note that the CANCEL message is acknowledged with a 200 OK on a hop 
   by hop basis, rather than end to end.

   In this scenario, User B is busy and sends a 486 Busy Here response 
   to User A's INVITE.  Note that the non-2xx response is acknowledged 
   on a hop-by-hop basis instead of end-to-end.  Also note that many SIP 
   UAs will not return a 486 response, as they have multiple line and 
   other features.

   In this scenario, User B initially sends a 180 Ringing response to 
   User A, indicating that alerting is taking place.  However, then a 
   480 Unavailable is then sent to User A.  This response is 
   acknowledged then proxied back to User A.

Security Considerations 
    
   Since this document contains examples of SIP session establishment, 
   the security considerations in RFC 3261 [2] apply.  RFC 3261 
   describes the basic threats including registration hijacking, server 
   impersonation, message body tampering, session modifying or teardown, 
   and denial of service and amplification attacks.  The use of HTTP 
   Digest as shown in this document provides one-way authentication and 
   protection against replay attacks.  TLS transport is used in 
   registration scenarios due to the lack of integrity protection in 
   HTTP Digest and the danger of registration hijacking without it, as 
   described in RFC 3261 [2].  A full discussion of the weaknesses of 
   HTTP Digest is provided in RFC 3261 [2].  The use of TLS and the 
   Secure SIP (sips) URI scheme provides a better level of security 
   including two-way authentication.  IPsec can also improve security.  
   S/MIME can provide end-to-end confidentiality and integrity 
   protection of message bodies, as described in RFC 3261.
