Abstract
Watcher information template-package for the SIP event framework
refers to the set of users subscribed to a particular resource
within a particular event package. The Watcher Information I-D does
not describe a mechanism of how filtering of watcher information can
be achieved.
This document defines a watcher info filter. It provides the
mechanism whereby a watcherinfo subscriber can specify the watcher
info event filtering rules, using XML, for the notifier and how that
notifier is to behave when receiving such filter.

1.0 Terminology
In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
"SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED" "MAY",
and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].
The document uses the terms as defined in [2] and [3].
2.0 Introduction
Watcher information template-package for the SIP event framework
refers to the set of users subscribed to a particular resource
within a particular event package [2].
SIP event notification is described in [4]. It defines a general
framework for sending subscriptions and receiving notifications in
SIP based systems. It introduces the concept of event packages,
which are concrete applications of the general event framework to a
specific usage of events.
Filtering is a mechanism for controlling the content of event
notifications [5].
The filtering mechanism is expected to be particularly valuable to
users of mobile wireless access devices. The characteristics of the
devices typically include high latency, low bandwidth, low data
processing capabilities, small display, and limited battery power.
Such devices can benefit from the ability to filter the amount of
information generated at the source of the event notification.
It is stated in [2] that Watcherinfo notifications are generated
every time there is any change in the state of the watcher
information. It also states that Watcherinfo notifications triggered
from a change in watcher state only contain information on the
watcher whose state has changed. The format of such information
defined in [3].
This document presents a mechanism for the filtering of the
watcherinfo information. The document specifically describes how the
subscriber is able to both limit the content and indicate more
specifically the preferred content of the notifications using XML
and Xpath [14] technologies. It also describes how the notifier
functions when generating notifications by taking into account
filters, authorisation rules and default functionality of the
watcherinfo notification service.
The watcherinfo specific filtering solution presented here is
compatible with the watcherinfo event template-package [2].
Requirements for the watcherinfo filter criteria can be found [5]
and [13].
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 3]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
Events Notification RFC [4] and the SIMPLE working group both
identify filtering work as potential work.
2.1 Motivation For Using XML
When trying to select the schema and protocol for defining the
filter criteria, it can be found that there are several alternatives
available. The best practice is to modularise the problem and work
on smaller modules (the protocol and the filter information schema).
The selection of the schema for defining the filter criteria
requires a readable syntax with enough flexibility to define the
semantics.
Among the multiple possibilities (i.e. XML, Perl, TCL, etc), XML
provides a generic framework where a schema for the filter logic
including a namespace allowing the definition of the filter
criteria. Thus, an XML schema provides an extensible mechanism where
the logic required for the filtering functionality can be built. XML
provides extensibility based on "namespaces" associated with a
globally unique URI.
The XML also enables the use of Xpath [14] for referencing items in
an XML document (which in the case is watcher information in the
format of watcherinfo).
In addition, by using XML the need for reliance on the transport
protocol in order to interpret the filter criteria can be
eliminated.
3.0 Watcherinfo Package Specific Filters
This section describes the technologies and information needed to
provide a filter specification relevant to watcherinfo filtering.
3.1 Package ID
The package ID is æwinfoÆ. This ID is carried in the event-header of
the SUBSCRIBE as well as within the XML document carrying filter
criteria.
3.3 Transport mechanism
Transportation of the filter criteria to the server is achieved by
inserting the filter XML document in the body of a SIP SUBSCRIBE
request. Alternatively, the document can be uploaded to the server
using a transport specific for data manipulation.
3.4 Structure of XML-Encoded winfo Filter Criteria
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 4]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
Winfo Filter Criteria is an XML document [7] that MUST be well-
formed and SHOULD be valid. Winfo Filter Criteria XML documents MUST
have the XML declaration and it SHOULD contain an encoding
declaration in the XML declaration e.g. "<?XML version='1.0'
encoding='UTF-8'?>". This specification makes use of XML
namespaces for identifying the XML schema of the Winfo Filter
Criteria documents and document fragments.
The namespace identifier for elements defined by this specification
is a URN [8]; using the namespace identifier 'ietf' defined by [9]
and extended by [10]. This urn is:
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:simple-winfo-filter+xml.
This namespace declaration indicates the namespace on which the
filter criteria are based on.
3.4.1 The <ev-filter-set> Root Element
The root element of the filter criteria is <ev-filter-set>. The <ev-
filter-set> MAY have a 'pkgdef' attribute that defines the æwinfoÆ
as package for the filter criteria.
The <ev-filter-set> root element MUST contain the namespace
mentioned above. This element MUST contain one or more <ev-filter>
elements.
3.4.2 The <ev-filter> Element
The <ev-filter> element is used to specify the content of an
individual filter.
<ev-filter> MUST have an 'id' attribute. The value of the 'id'
attribute MUST be unique within the <ev-filter-set> root element.
<ev-filter> MAY have an 'uri' attribute. The value of the 'uri'
attribute is the URI of a watcher-list resource.
The <ev-filter> element MUST contain a <what> element.
3.4.3 The <what> Element
The <what> element is used to specify the content to be delivered to
the watcherinfo subscriber. It does not specify the exact content
but rules that are used to construct that information.
The <what> element MUST contain the 'report' attribute. The value of
the 'report' is either 'default'. The 'default' value means that the
whole content of selected watcher elements are delivered.
The æstateÆ attribute is optional and indicates whether the document
to be delivered to the watcherinfo subscriber contains the ôfullö
watcherinfo state, or whether it contains only information on those
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 5]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
watchers which have changed since the previous document (ôpartialö)
[2]. The delivered content depends on the XPath rules and the
selected state. If this attribute is not present, the default value
is a matter of local policy [2].
OPEN ISSUE: the æreportÆ attribute may be later removed if it is
asserted that no other value (e.g. ôonly-selectedö) is needed.
3.4.3.1 Defining the delivered content
It must be possible in the filter criteria to be able to select
watchers from which watcher information is delivered. The selection
is based on any XML elements and attributes of the default
watcherinfo format [3].
The preferred watcher information is indicated using the
capabilities of XPath [14]. The XPath clause is stated in the value
of the <What> element.
4.0 Client and server operation
4.1 Client Operation
4.1.1 SUBSCRIBE Bodies
SIP entities compliant with this specification MUST support content-
type æapplication/simple-winfo-filter+xmlÆ.
4.1.2 Subscriber Generating SUBSCRIBE requests
This section presents additional functionalities required from the
subscriber when filters are used in SUBSCRIBE requests bodies.
Normal operations as defined in [2] are then followed.
As defined in [2], a SUBSCRIBE for winfo MAY contain a body. This
body, as defined in this document, would serve the purpose of
filtering. Honouring of these filters is at the policy discretion of
the notifier.
No content in the body of a SUBSCRIBE indicates to the notifier that
no filter is being requested; so that the notifier is instructed to
send all NOTIFY requests using the notifierÆs default watcherinfo
subscription filtering policy as described in [2].
If present, the body MUST be of MIME-Type æapplication/simple-winfo-
filter+xmlÆ.
4.1.2.1 To-Header vs. Filter URI
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 6]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
The Event package "winfo" in Event-header of the SUBSCRIBE request
specifies that the filter rules apply to the watcherinfo of a
watcher-list resource whose URI appears in the filter.
If no watcher-list resource URI is indicated by the filter, the
filter rules apply to the watcher-list of the resource identified in
the To-header.
If the resource URI indicated by the filter is not the same as the
one in the To-header, that filterÆs rules do not apply and are
ignored. The filter does not affect Watcherinfo documents sent to
the watcherinfo subscriber.
4.1.2.2 Changing The Filter Criteria Within A Dialog
The client MAY reset or change the filter criteria by re-issuing a
new SUBSCRIBE request within the existing dialog. The SUBSCRIBE
provides the "replace" semantics. This means that all filters are
replaced. A SUBSCRIBE within the exiting dialogs that does not
contain a filter is assumed to be removing all filter criteria.
The filter MAY be incorporated within an existing subscription (an
active dialog) by the subscriber sending a re-SUBSCRIBE that
includes the filter in the body.
4.1.2.3 Subscriber Interpreting SIP responses
The SUBSCRIBE request will be confirmed with a final response. 200-
class responses indicate that the subscription has been accepted,
and that a NOTIFY will be sent immediately. A 200 response indicates
that the subscription has been accepted, the user is authorized and
that the filter is accepted. A 202 response merely indicates that
the subscription has been understood, the content type has been
accepted, and that authorization may or may not have been granted. A
202 response also indicates that the filter has not been accepted
yet. The acceptation of the filter MAY arrive in a subsequent
NOTIFY.
Non-200 class final responses indicate that no subscription or
dialog has been created, and no subsequent NOTIFY message will be
sent. All non-200 class responses have the same meanings and
handling as described in RFC 3261 [11] and RFC 3265[4].
Specifically, a 415 response indicates that the server does not
understand the MIME-type æapplication/simple-pres-filter+xmlÆ. A 488
response indicates that the content (filter) is understood but some
aspects of it were either not understood or not accepted.
4.1.3 Subscriber processing NOTIFY requests
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 7]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
If a 2xx response was returned for the SUBSCRIBE, the NOTIFY that
follows MAY contain a body that describes the state of the watcher
after the filter has been applied.
If the NOTIFY indicates that a subscription has been terminated [4],
the subscription is assumed to be terminated. Behaviour in such
events is also described in [4].
If the subscription is indicated as active, NOTIFY requests are
handled as described in [2] and [4].
4.2 Server Operation
4.2.1 NOTIFY Bodies
SIP entities compliant with this specification MUST support content-
type æapplication/simple-winfo-filter+xmlÆ.
4.2.2 Notifier processing SUBSCRIBE Requests
This section presents addition functionalities required from the
notifier when filters are used in SUBSCRIBE requests bodies. Normal
operations as defined in [2] are then followed.
The notifier will examine the content-type header and will return a
415 response if it does not understand content-type
æapplication/simple-pres-filter+xmlÆ.
If the notifier accepts the content-type, it then starts parsing the
body. If the body is understood but some aspects of the contents
(filter) were not understood and accepted, then procedures described
in section 4.2.4 are followed.
A 200-class responses indicate that the subscription has been
accepted, and that a NOTIFY will be sent immediately. A 200 response
indicates that the subscription has been accepted, the user is
authorized and that the filter is accepted. A 202 response merely
indicates that the subscription has been understood, and that
authorization may or may not have been granted. A 202 response also
indicates that the filter has not been accepted yet. The acceptation
of the filter MAY arrive in a subsequent NOTIFY.
The filter MAY be incorporated within an existing subscription (an
active dialog) by the notifier receiving a re-SUBSCRIBE that
includes the filter in the body.
4.2.3 Notifier Generation of NOTIFY requests
Upon receiving the SUBSCRIBE with the filtering rules, the notifier
SHOULD retain the filter as long as the subscription persists. The
filter SHOULD be used as long as the subscription is active.
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 8]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
If the response sent to the SUBSCRIBE was a 202, and the 202 was
chosen because the filter could not be accepted in time, the NOTIFY
MAY be used to terminate the subscription if the filter was not
found acceptable. See Section 4.2.4.
As described in [2], the NOTIFY message MAY contain a body that
describes the state of the watchers. This body MUST be in one of the
formats listed in the Accept header of the SUBSCRIBE, or the
presence specific default æapplication/watcherinfo+xmlÆ if the
Accept header is omitted.
4.2.3.1 Generating NOTIFY Contents
The input to the filter is a watcherinfo document [3] derived
according to the normal functionality defined in [2].
Before applying the Xpath expression to the watcherinfo document,
the æstateÆ attribute is considered. If the value is ôpartialö, the
information of watchers, whose state has not changed since the last
document, is removed before any further processing. If the value is
ôfullö, all watchersÆ information is included in the next processing
step.
If the æstateÆ attribute is omitted from the filter, the notifierÆs
local policies are applied to determine the watchers whose
information is filtered.
The content is then filtered according to the XPath expression. The
XPath expression indicates the delivered watcher elements.
The 'report' attribute indicates the delivered content. The value
ôdefaultö of the 'report' attribute means that all the values and
attributes of the selected watcher elements are delivered. In
addition to the selected watcher elements, the namespace definitions
are also conveyed.
4.2.4 Handling of abnormal cases
In case of an invalid filter definition û the filter XML document is
not aligned with the filter XML schema, the notifier rejects the
SUBSCRIBE request with a 488. A warning header in the response may
give a better indication why the filters are not accepted.
If the subscription was accepted with a 202 response and the filter
is being evaluated after that, a NOTIFY with a subscription-state of
terminated is sent. An event-reason-value of ôbadfilterö MAY be
included.
The above paragraph uses the extension to the event-reason-value of
subexp-params as defined in [6].
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 9]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
In case of an erroneous XPath clause in the filter definition the
notifier either ignores the filter definition or terminates the
subscription.
In case of indication of empty content by the XPath clause the
presence agent functions according to the normal procedure for the
content filtering described in this document.
5.0 IANA Considerations
A new content type "application/simple-winfo-filter+xml" is defined
to represent an XML MIME for the filter criteria of Presence.
This specification follows the guidelines of RFC3023 [12].
OPEN ISSUE: IANA registration template must be added later.
6.0 Examples
The examples in this section use the ôpresenceö event package with
the ôwinfoö template-package.

8.0 Security Considerations
Khartabil, Leppanen. [Page 15]
Internet Draft Watcher Info Filtering February 2003
The presence of filters in the body in a SIP message has a
significant effect on the ways in which the request is handled at a
server. As a result, it is especially important that messages
containing this extension be authenticated and authorized.
Processing of requests and looking up filter criteria requires set
operations and searches, which can require some amount of
computation. This enables a DoS attack whereby a user can send
requests with substantial numbers messages with large contents, in
the hopes of overloading the server. To counter this, the server
SHOULD only allow filters with no more than about 20 rules.
Requests can reveal sensitive information about a UAÆs capabilities.
If this information is sensitive, it SHOULD be encrypted using SIP
S/MIME capabilities.
All watcherinfo related security measures discussed in [2] MUST be
followed.
