+ to the source address the request came from, and to the port written
+ into the topmost Via header field value of the request. This
+ behavior is not desirable in many cases, most notably, when the

+ defines a new parameter for the Via header field, called "rport",
+ that allows a client to request that the server send the response
+ back to the source IP address and port from which the request
+ originated.

+1. Introduction
+
+ The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [1] operates over UDP and TCP.
+ When used with UDP, responses to requests are returned to the source
+ address the request came from, and to the port written into the
+ topmost Via header field value of the request. This results in a
+ "hybrid" way of computing the destination of the response. Half of
+ the information (specifically, the IP address) is taken from the IP
+ packet headers, and the other half (specifically, the port) from the
+ SIP message headers. SIP operates in this manner so that a server
+ can listen for all messages, both requests and responses, on a single
+ IP address and port. This helps improve scalability. However, this
+ behavior is not desirable in many cases, most notably, when the
+ client is behind a NAT. In that case, the response will not properly
+ traverse the NAT, since it will not match the binding established
+ with the request.
+
+ Furthermore, there is currently no way for a client to examine a
+ response and determine the source port that the server saw in the
+ corresponding request. Currently, SIP provides the client with the
+ source IP address that the server saw in the request, but not the
+ port. The source IP address is conveyed in the "received" parameter
+ in the topmost Via header field value of the response. This
+ information has proved useful for basic NAT traversal, debugging
+
+
+
+Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+ purposes, and support of multi-homed hosts. However, it is
+ incomplete without the port information.
+
+ This extension defines a new parameter for the Via header field,
+ called "rport", that allows a client to request that the server send
+ the response back to the source IP address and port where the request
+ came from. The "rport" parameter is analogous to the "received"
+ parameter, except "rport" contains a port number, not the IP address.
+
+2. 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 BCP 14, RFC 2119
+ [2] and indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.
+
+3. Client Behavior
+
+ The client behavior specified here affects the transport processing
+ defined in Section 18.1 of SIP (RFC 3261) [1].
+
+ A client, compliant to this specification (clients include UACs and
+ proxies), MAY include an "rport" parameter in the top Via header
+ field value of requests it generates. This parameter MUST have no
+ value; it serves as a flag to indicate to the server that this
+ extension is supported and requested for the transaction.
+
+ When the client sends the request, if the request is sent using UDP,
+ the client MUST be prepared to receive the response on the same IP
+ address and port it used to populate the source IP address and source
+ port of the request. For backwards compatibility, the client MUST
+ still be prepared to receive a response on the port indicated in the
+ sent-by field of the topmost Via header field value, as specified in
+ Section 18.1.1 of SIP [1].
+
+ When there is a NAT between the client and server, the request will
+ create (or refresh) a binding in the NAT. This binding must remain
+ in existence for the duration of the transaction in order for the
+ client to receive the response. Most UDP NAT bindings appear to have
+ a timeout of about one minute. This exceeds the duration of non-
+ INVITE transactions. Therefore, responses to a non-INVITE request
+ will be received while the binding is still in existence. INVITE
+ transactions can take an arbitrarily long amount of time to complete.
+ As a result, the binding may expire before a final response is
+ received. To keep the binding fresh, the client SHOULD retransmit
+ its INVITE every 20 seconds or so. These retransmissions will need
+ to take place even after receiving a provisional response.
+
+
+
+
+Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+ A UA MAY execute the binding lifetime discovery algorithm in Section
+ 10.2 of RFC 3489 [4] to determine the actual binding lifetime in the
+ NAT. If it is longer than 1 minute, the client SHOULD increase the
+ interval for request retransmissions up to half of the discovered
+ lifetime. If it is shorter than one minute, it SHOULD decrease the
+ interval for request retransmissions to half of the discovered
+ lifetime. Note that discovery of binding lifetimes can be
+ unreliable. See Section 14.3 of RFC 3489 [4].
+
+4. Server Behavior
+
+ The server behavior specified here affects the transport processing
+ defined in Section 18.2 of SIP [1].
+
+ When a server compliant to this specification (which can be a proxy
+ or UAS) receives a request, it examines the topmost Via header field
+ value. If this Via header field value contains an "rport" parameter
+ with no value, it MUST set the value of the parameter to the source
+ port of the request. This is analogous to the way in which a server
+ will insert the "received" parameter into the topmost Via header
+ field value. In fact, the server MUST insert a "received" parameter
+ containing the source IP address that the request came from, even if
+ it is identical to the value of the "sent-by" component. Note that
+ this processing takes place independent of the transport protocol.
+
+ When a server attempts to send a response, it examines the topmost
+ Via header field value of that response. If the "sent-protocol"
+ component indicates an unreliable unicast transport protocol, such as
+ UDP, and there is no "maddr" parameter, but there is both a
+ "received" parameter and an "rport" parameter, the response MUST be
+ sent to the IP address listed in the "received" parameter, and the
+ port in the "rport" parameter. The response MUST be sent from the
+ same address and port that the corresponding request was received on.
+ This effectively adds a new processing step between bullets two and
+ three in Section 18.2.2 of SIP [1].
+
+ The response must be sent from the same address and port that the
+ request was received on in order to traverse symmetric NATs. When a
+ server is listening for requests on multiple ports or interfaces, it
+ will need to remember the one on which the request was received. For
+ a stateful proxy, storing this information for the duration of the
+ transaction is not an issue. However, a stateless proxy does not
+ store state between a request and its response, and therefore cannot
+ remember the address and port on which a request was received. To
+ properly implement this specification, a stateless proxy can encode
+ the destination address and port of a request into the Via header
+ field value that it inserts. When the response arrives, it can
+ extract this information and use it to forward the response.
+

+
+
+5. Syntax
+
+ The syntax for the "rport" parameter is:
+
+ response-port = "rport" [EQUAL 1*DIGIT]
+
+ This extends the existing definition of the Via header field
+ parameters, so that its BNF now looks like:
+
+ via-params = via-ttl / via-maddr
+ / via-received / via-branch
+ / response-port / via-extension
+
+6. Example
+
+ A client sends an INVITE to a proxy server which looks like, in part:
+
+ INVITE sip:user@example.com SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.1.1:4540;rport;branch=z9hG4bKkjshdyff
+
+ This INVITE is sent with a source port of 4540 and a source IP
+ address of 10.1.1.1. The proxy is at 192.0.2.2 (proxy.example.com),
+ listening on both port 5060 and 5070. The client sends the request
+ to port 5060. The request passes through a NAT on the way to the
+ proxy, so that the source IP address appears as 192.0.2.1 and the
+ source port as 9988. The proxy forwards the request, but not before
+ appending a value to the "rport" parameter in the proxied request:
+
+ INVITE sip:user@example.com SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP proxy.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKkjsh77
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.1.1:4540;received=192.0.2.1;rport=9988
+ ;branch=z9hG4bKkjshdyff
+
+ This request generates a response which arrives at the proxy:
+
+ SIP/2.0 200 OK
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP proxy.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKkjsh77
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.1.1:4540;received=192.0.2.1;rport=9988
+ ;branch=z9hG4bKkjshdyff
+
+ The proxy strips its top Via header field value, and then examines
+ the next one. It contains both a "received" parameter and an "rport"
+ parameter. The server follows the rules specified in Section 4 and
+ sends the response to IP address 192.0.2.1, port 9988, and sends it
+ from port 5060 on 192.0.2.2:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+ SIP/2.0 200 OK
+ Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.1.1:4540;received=192.0.2.1;rport=9988
+ ;branch=z9hG4bKkjshdyff
+
+ This packet matches the binding created by the initial request.
+ Therefore, the NAT rewrites the destination address of this packet
+ back to 10.1.1.1, and the destination port back to 4540. It forwards
+ this response to the client, which is listening for the response on
+ that address and port. The client properly receives the response.
+
+7. Security Considerations
+
+ When a server uses this specification, responses that it sends will
+ now include the source port where the request came from. In some
+ instances, the source address and port of a request are sensitive
+ information. If they are sensitive, requests SHOULD be protected by
+ using SIP over TLS [1]. In such a case, this specification does not
+ provide any response routing functions (as these only work with TCP);
+ it merely provides the client with information about the source port
+ as seen by the server.
+
+ It is possible that an attacker might try to disrupt service to a
+ client by acting as a man-in-the-middle, modifying the "rport"
+ parameter in a Via header in a request sent by a client. Removal of
+ this parameter will prevent clients from behind NATs from receiving
+ service. The addition of the parameter will generally have no
+ impact. Of course, if an attacker is capable of launching a man-in-
+ the-middle attack, there are many other ways of denying service, such
+ as merely discarding the request. Therefore, this attack does not
+ seem significant.
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ There are no IANA considerations associated with this specification.
+
+9. IAB Considerations
+
+ The IAB has studied a class of protocols referred to as Unilateral
+ Self Address Fixing (UNSAF) protocols [5]. These protocols allow a
+ client behind a NAT to learn the IP address and port that a NAT will
+ allocate for a particular request, in order to use this information
+ in application layer protocols. An example of an UNSAF protocol is
+ the Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs (STUN) [4].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+ Any protocol is an UNSAF protocol if it reveals, to a client, the
+ source IP address and port of a packet sent through that NAT.
+ Although not designed for that purpose, this specification can be
+ used as an UNSAF protocol. Using the "rport" parameter (defined
+ here) and the "received" parameter (defined in RFC 3261 [1]) in the
+ topmost Via header field value of a response, a client sending a
+ request can learn its address as it was seen by the server which sent
+ the response.
+
+ There are two uses of this information. The first is for
+ registrations. Consider a client behind a NAT wishing to register
+ with a proxy/registrar on the other side of the NAT. The client must
+ provide, in its registration, the address at which it should receive
+ incoming SIP requests from the proxy. However, since the client is
+ located behind a NAT, none of the addresses on any of its interfaces
+ will be reachable from the proxy. If the client can provide the
+ proxy with an address that the proxy can reach, the client can
+ receive incoming requests. Using this specification, a client behind
+ a NAT can learn its address and port as seen by the proxy which
+ receives a REGISTER request. The client can then perform an
+ additional registration, using this address in a Contact header.
+ This would allow a client to receive incoming requests, such as
+ INVITE, on the IP address and port it used to populate the source IP
+ address and port of the registration it sent. This approach will
+ only work when servers send requests to a UA from the same address
+ and port on which the REGISTER itself was received.
+
+ In many cases, the server to whom the registration is sent won't be
+ the registrar itself, but rather a proxy which then sends the request
+ to the registrar. In such a case, any incoming requests for the
+ client must traverse the proxy to whom the registration was directly
+ sent. The Path header extension to SIP [3] allows the proxy to
+ indicate that it must be on the path of such requests.
+
+ The second usage is for record routing, to address the same problem
+ as above, but between two proxies. A proxy behind a NAT which
+ forwards a request to a server can use OPTIONS, for example, to learn
+ its address as seen by that server. This address can be placed into
+ the Record-Route header field of requests sent to that server. This
+ would allow the proxy to receive requests from that server on the
+ same IP address and port it used to populate the source IP address
+ and port of the OPTIONS request.
+
+ Because of this potential usage, this document must consider the
+ issues raised in [5].

+
+
+9.1. Problem Definition
+
+ From [5], any UNSAF proposal must provide:
+
+ Precise definition of a specific, limited-scope problem that is to
+ be solved with the UNSAF proposal. A short term fix should not be
+ generalized to solve other problems; this is why "short term fixes
+ usually aren't".
+
+ This specification is primarily aimed at allowing SIP responses to be
+ received when a request is sent through a NAT. In this primary
+ application, this specification is not an UNSAF proposal. However,
+ as a side effect of this capability, this specification can be used
+ as an UNSAF protocol. In that usage, it would address two issues:
+
+ o Provide a client with an address that it could use in the Contact
+ header of a REGISTER request when it is behind a NAT.
+
+ o Provide a proxy with an address that it could use in a Record-
+ Route header in a request, when it is behind a NAT.
+
+9.2. Exit Strategy
+
+ From [5], any UNSAF proposal must provide:
+
+ Description of an exit strategy/transition plan. The better short
+ term fixes are the ones that will naturally see less and less use
+ as the appropriate technology is deployed.
+
+ The SIP working group has recognized that the usage of this
+ specification to support registrations and record-routing through
+ NATs is not appropriate. It has a number of known problems which are
+ documented below. The way to eliminate potential usage of this
+ specification for address fixing is to provide a proper solution to
+ the problems that might motivate the usage of this specification for
+ address fixing. Specifically, appropriate solutions for
+ registrations and record-routing in the presence of NATs need to be
+ developed. These solutions would not rely on address fixing.
+
+ Requirements for such solutions are already under development [6].
+
+ Implementors of this specification are encouraged to follow this work
+ for better solutions for registrations and record-routing through
+ NAT.

+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+9.3. Brittleness Introduced by this Specification
+
+ From [5], any UNSAF proposal must provide:
+
+ Discussion of specific issues that may render systems more
+ "brittle". For example, approaches that involve using data at
+ multiple network layers create more dependencies, increase
+ debugging challenges, and make it harder to transition.
+
+ This specification, if used for address fixing, introduces several
+ points of brittleness into a SIP system:
+
+ o If used for UDP registrations, a client will need to frequently
+ re-register in order to keep the NAT bindings fresh. In many
+ cases, these registrations will need to take place nearly one
+ hundred times more frequently than the typical refresh interval of
+ a registration. This introduces load into the system and hampers
+ scalability.
+
+ o A client cannot accurately determine the binding lifetime of a NAT
+ it is registering (or record-routing) through. Therefore, there
+ may be periods of unreachability that occur between the time a
+ binding expires and the next registration or OPTIONS refresh is
+ sent. This may result in missed calls, messages, or other
+ information.
+
+ o If the NAT is of the symmetric variety [4], a client will only be
+ able to use its address to receive requests from the server it has
+ sent the request to. If that server is one of many servers in a
+ cluster, the client may not be able to receive requests from other
+ servers in the cluster. This may result in missed calls,
+ messages, or other information.
+
+ o If the NAT is of the symmetric variety [4], a client will only be
+ able to use its address to receive requests if the server sends
+ requests to the client from the same address and port the server
+ received the registrations on. This server behavior is not
+ mandated by RFC 3261 [1], although it appears to be common in
+ practice.
+
+ o If the registrar and the server to whom the client sent its
+ REGISTER request are not the same, the approach will only work if
+ the server uses the Path header field [3]. There is not an easy
+ and reliable way for the server to determine that the Path header
+ should be used for a registration. Using Path when the address in
+ the topmost Via header field is a private address will usually
+ work, but may result in usage of Path when it is not actually
+ needed.
+
+
+
+Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 3581 Symmetric Response Routing August 2003
+
+
+9.4. Requirements for a Long Term Solution
+
+ From [5], any UNSAF proposal must provide:
+
+ Identify requirements for longer term, sound technical solutions
+ -- contribute to the process of finding the right longer term
+ solution.
+
+ The brittleness described in Section 9.3 has led us to the following
+ requirements for a long term solution:
+
+ The client should not need to specify its address. Registrations and
+ record routing require the client to specify the address at which
+ it should receive requests. A sound technical solution should
+ allow a client to explicitly specify that it wants to receive
+ incoming requests on the connection over which the outgoing
+ request was sent. In this way, the client does not need to
+ specify its address.
+
+ The solution must deal with clusters of servers. In many
+ commercially deployed SIP systems, there will be multiple servers,
+ each at different addresses and ports, handling incoming requests
+ for a client. The solution must explicitly consider this case.
+
+ The solution must not require increases in network load. There
+ cannot be a penalty for a sound technical solution.
+
+9.5. Issues with Existing NAPT Boxes
+
+ From [5], any UNSAF proposal must provide:
+
+ Discussion of the impact of the noted practical issues with
+ existing, deployed NA[P]Ts and experience reports.
+
+ To our knowledge, at the time of writing, there is only very limited
+ usage of this specification for address fixing. Therefore, no
+ specific practical issues have been raised.
