Internet-Draft SIP Package for Voice Quality Reporting February 2006
1. Introduction
This document defines a new SIP event package, vq-rtcpxr, and a new
MIME type, application/vq-rtcpxr, that enable the collection and
reporting of metrics that measure quality for RTP [3] sessions. The
definitions of the metrics used in the event package are based on
RTCP Extended Reports [4] and RTCP [3]. Monitoring of voice quality
is believed to be the highest priority for usage of this mechanism
and as such, the metrics in the event package are largely tailored
for voice quality measurement. However, the event package defined
herein is designed to be extensible. The event package explicitly
provides parameters for reporting both the local and remote versions
of these statistics. Note that in multi-party calls, multiple
reports will need to be generated either one for each endpoint or one
for each session. Configuration of usage of the event package is not
covered in this document. The event package can be used either with
the SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY methods or the PUBLISH method. Message flow
examples for both mechanims are provided in this document.
2. Terminology
In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
"SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT
RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as
described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [1] and indicate requirement levels for
compliant implementations.
3. SIP Events Approach
This document defines a new SIP events package [5]. The intended
methods to use for this event are PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY. A
SIP UA can provide voice quality reports using either of these
methods to an entity which can make the information available to
other applications.
4. Use of PUBLISH Method
A SIP UA that supports this specification may send the service
quality metric reports using the PUBLISH method. An application
wishing to access this performance data maintains a State Agent for
the vq-rtcpxr event package. The Request-URI of the PUBLISH method
is set to the address of the resource for the VoIP application. The
PUBLISH message is sent to the normal default outbound proxy server
of the SIP UA or could be sent to other interested parties.
Pendleton, et al. Expires July 4, 2006 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SIP Package for Voice Quality Reporting February 2006
The use of PUBLISH by this event is unique in that it does not
require a soft or hard state to be maintained by either the Event
Publication Agent (EPA) or the Event State Compositor (ESC).
Futhermore the information that is presented by the vq-rtcpxr event
in a PUBLISH request is not expected to have an expiration, rather,
the information is associated with the timestamps in the event
itself. The primary intention of using PUBLISH for this event is
reduction of transaction processing.
A concern over the usage of the PUBLISH method is potential
overloading of servers receiving the events, particularly in the
threshold reporting model. There are many approaches to solving this
type of problem, but clearly the EPA's needs to adhere to some
guidelines to reduce the probability of causing this overload
condition. Some suggested solutions are: a) limit sending of one
threshold report per metric per session b) limit sending of one
threshold report per session regardless of the metric c) limit
sending a new threshold report to when a metric state has been
sustained for a reasonable amount of time such as 20-30 seconds.
5. Event Package Formal Definition
5.1. Event Package Name
This document defines a SIP Event Package as defined in RFC 3265 [2].
The event-package token name for this package is:
"vq-rtcpxr"
5.2. Event Package Parameters
No event package parameters are defined.
5.3. SUBSCRIBE Bodies
No SUBSCRIBE bodies are described by this specification.
5.4. Subscription Duration
Subscriptions to this event package MAY range from minutes to weeks.
Subscriptions in hours or days are more typical and are RECOMMENDED.
The default subscription duration for this event package is one hour.
5.5. NOTIFY Bodies
There are three notify bodies: a session report, an interval session
report, and a alert report.
Pendleton, et al. Expires July 4, 2006 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft SIP Package for Voice Quality Reporting February 2006
The session report is used for end of session reporting. This can be
generated when a voice media session terminates or when a media
change occurs, such as a codec change or a session forks. This
report is intended to allow cumulative metric reporting. The session
reports will populate the metrics with values that are measured over
the interval explicitly defined by the "start" and "stop" timestamps.
The interval report is used for periodic or interval reporting. This
report is intended to capture short duration metric reporting.
Interval reports will populate the metrics with values that are
measured over the interval explicitly defined by the "start" and
"stop" timestamps.
The threshold report is used when voice quality degrades during a
session. The session report parameters are also included in the
alert report to provide all of the necessary diagnostic information.
Like the interval report, the metrics in the threshold reports will
be populated with values that are measured over the interval
explicitly defined by the "start" and "stop" timestamps.
This specification defines a new MIME type application/vq-rtcpxr
which is a text encoding of the RTCP and RTCP-XR statistics, along
with some additional metrics and correlation information.
5.6. Voice Quality Event Syntax and Semantics
This section describes the syntax extensions required for event
publication in SIP. The formal syntax definitions described in this
section are expressed in the Augmented BNF [6] format used in SIP [2],
and contains references to elements defined therein. Additionally,
the definition of the timestamp format is provided in [7]. Note that
most of the parameters are optional. In practice, most
implementations will send a subset of the parameters. It is not the
intention of this document to define what parameters may or may not
be useful for monitoring the quality of a voice session, but to
enable reporting of voice quality. As such, the syntax allows the
implementer to choose which metrics are most appropriate for their
solution. As there are no "invalid", "unknown", or "not applicable"
values in the syntax, the intention is to exclude any parameters for
which values are not available, not applicable, or unknown.
Additionally, the authors recognize that implementers may need to add
new parameter lines to the reports and new metrics to the existing
parameter lines. The extension tokens are intended to fulfill this
need.

5.9. Security Considerations
RTCP reports can contain sensitive information since they can provide
information about the nature and duration of a session established
between two or more endpoints. As a result, any third party wishing
to obtain this information SHOULD be properly authenticated by the
SIP UA using standard SIP mechanisms and according to the
recommendations in [5]. Additionally the event content MAY be
encrypted to ensure confidentiality; the mechanisms for providing
confidentiality are detailed in [2].
