+1. Introduction
+
+ This document describes important Voice over IP (VoIP) use cases for
+ SIP-based [RFC3261] peering. These use cases are determined by the
+ Session PEERing for Multimedia INTerconnect (SPEERMINT) working group
+ and will assist in identifying requirements and other issues to be
+ considered for future resolution by the working group.
+
+ Only use cases related to VoIP are considered in this document.
+ Other real-time SIP communications use cases, like Instant Messaging
+ (IM), video chat, and presence are out of scope for this document.
+
+ The use cases contained in this document are described as
+ comprehensive as possible, but should not be considered the exclusive
+ set of use cases.

+
+2. Terminology
+
+ This document uses terms defined in [RFC5486]. Please refer to it
+ for definitions.
+
+3. Reference Architecture
+
+ The diagram below provides the reader with a context for the VoIP use
+ cases in this document. Terms such as SIP Service Provider (SSP),
+ Lookup Function (LUF), Location Routing Function (LRF), Signaling
+ Path Border Element (SBE), and Data Path Border Element (DBE) are
+ defined in [RFC5486].
+
+ The Originating SSP (O-SSP) is the SSP originating a SIP request.
+ The Terminating SSP (T-SSP) is the SSP terminating the SIP request
+ originating from the O-SSP. The assisting LUF and LRF Provider offer
+ LUF and LRF services to the O-SSP. The Indirect SSP (I-SSP) is the
+ SSP providing indirect peering service(s) to the O-SSP to connect to
+ the T-SSP.

+
+
+4. Contexts of Use Cases
+
+ Use cases are sorted into two general groups: static and on-demand
+ peering [RFC5486]. Each group can be further sub-divided into Direct
+ Peering and Indirect Peering [RFC5486]. Although there may be some
+ overlap among the use cases in these categories, there are different
+ requirements between the scenarios. Each use case must specify a
+ basic set of required operations to be performed by each SSP when
+ peering.
+
+ These can include:
+
+ o Peer Discovery - Peer discovery via a Lookup Function (LUF) to
+ determine the Session Establishment Data (SED) [RFC5486] of the
+ request. In VoIP use cases, a request normally contains a phone
+ number. The O-SSP will input the phone number to the LUF and the
+ LUF will normally return a SIP address of record (AOR) [RFC3261]
+ that contains a domain name.
+
+ o Next-Hop Routing Determination - Resolving the SED information is
+ necessary to route the request to the T-SSP. The LRF is used for
+ this determination. After obtaining the SED, the O-SSP may use
+ the standard procedure defined in [RFC3263] to discover the next-
+ hop address.
+
+ o Call setup - SSPs that are interconnecting to one another may also
+ define specifics on what peering policies need to be used when
+ contacting the next hop in order to a) reach the next hop at all
+ and b) prove that the sender is a legitimate peering partner.
+ Examples: hard-code transport (TCP/UDP/TLS), non-standard port
+ number, specific source IP address (e.g., in a private Layer 3
+ network), which TLS client certificate [RFC5246] to use, and other
+ authentication schemes.
+
+ o Call reception - This step ensures that the type of relationship
+ (static or on-demand, indirect or direct) is understood and
+ acceptable. For example, the receiving SBE needs to determine
+ whether the INVITE it received really came from a trusted member.
+
+5. Use Cases
+
+ Please note there are intra-domain message flows within the use cases
+ to serve as supporting background information. Only inter-domain
+ communications are germane to this document.

+
+
+5.1. Static Peering Use Cases
+
+ Static peering [RFC5486] describes the use case when two SSPs form a
+ peering relationship with some form of association established prior
+ to the exchange of traffic. Pre-association is a prerequisite to
+ static peering. Static peering is used in cases when two peers want
+ a consistent and tightly controlled approach to peering. In this
+ scenario, a number of variables, such as an identification method
+ (remote proxy IP address) and Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters,
+ can be defined upfront and known by each SSP prior to peering.
+
+5.2. Static Direct Peering Use Case
+
+ This is the simplest form of a peering use case. Two SSPs negotiate
+ and agree to establish a SIP peering relationship. The peer
+ connection is statically configured and the peer SSPs are directly
+ connected. The peers may exchange interconnection parameters such as
+ Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) [RFC2474] policies, the
+ maximum number of requests per second, and proxy location prior to
+ establishing the interconnection. Typically, the T-SSP only accepts
+ traffic originating directly from the trusted peer.

+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ The following is a high-level depiction of the use case:
+
+ 1. The User Agent Client (UAC) initiates a call via SIP INVITE to
+ O-Proxy. O-Proxy is the home proxy for UAC.
+
+ INVITE sip:+19175550100@example.com;user=phone SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP client.example.com:5060
+ ;branch=z9hG4bK74bf9
+ Max-Forwards: 10
+ From: Alice <sip:+14085550101@example.com;user=phone>
+ ;tag=12345
+ To: Bob <sip:+19175550100@example.com;user=phone>
+ Call-ID: abcde
+ CSeq: 1 INVITE
+ <allOneLine>
+ Contact: <sip:+19175550100@client.example.com;user=phone;
+ transport=tcp>
+ </allOneLine>
+
+ Note that UAC inserted its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in the
+ VIA and CONTACT headers. This example assumes that UAC has its own
+ FQDN.
+
+ 2. UAC knows the User Agent Server's (UAS's) TN, but does not know
+ UAS's domain. It appends its own domain to generate the SIP URI
+ in the Request-URI and TO header. O-Proxy checks the Request-
+ URI and discovers that the Request-URI contains the user
+ parameter "user=phone". This parameter signifies that the
+ Request-URI is a phone number. So O-Proxy will extract the TN
+ from the Request-URI and query the LUF for SED information from
+ a routing database. In this example, the LUF is an ENUM
+ [RFC6116] database. The ENUM entry looks similar to this:
+
+ $ORIGIN 0.0.1.0.5.5.5.7.1.9.1.e164.arpa.
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 10
+ 100
+ "u"
+ "E2U+SIP"
+ "!^.*$!sip:+19175550100@example.net!"
+ . )
+
+ This SED data can be provisioned by O-SSP or populated by the T-SSP.
+
+ 3. O-Proxy examines the SED and discovers the domain is external.
+ Given the O-Proxy's internal routing policy, O-Proxy decides to
+ use O-SBE to reach T-SBE. O-Proxy routes the INVITE request to
+ O-SBE and adds a Route header that contains O-SBE.

+ </allOneLine>
+
+ 4. O-SBE receives the requests and pops the top entry of the Route
+ header that contains "o-sbe1.example.com". O-SBE examines the
+ Request-URI and does an LRF for "example.net". In this example,
+ the LRF is a Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) DNS query
+ [RFC3403] of the domain name. O-SBE receives a NAPTR response
+ from the LRF. The response looks similar to this:
+
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 50
+ 50
+ "S"
+ "SIP+D2T"
+ ""
+ _sip._tcp.t-sbe.example.net. )
+
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 90
+ 50
+ "S"
+ "SIP+D2U"
+ ""
+ _sip._udp.t-sbe.example.net. )
+
+ 5. Given the lower order for TCP in the NAPTR response, O-SBE
+ decides to use TCP as the transport protocol, so it sends an SRV
+ DNS query for the SRV record [RFC2782] for "_sip._tcp.t-
+ sbe.example.net." to O-LRF.
+
+

+ ;; priority weight port target
+ IN SRV 0 2 5060 t-sbe1.example.net.
+ IN SRV 0 1 5060 t-sbe2.example.net.
+
+ 6. Given the higher weight for "t-sbe1.example.net", O-SBE sends an
+ A record DNS query for "t-sbe1.example.net." to get the A
+ record:
+
+ ;; DNS ANSWER
+ t-sbe1.example.net. IN A 192.0.2.100
+ t-sbe1.example.net. IN A 192.0.2.101
+
+ 7. O-SBE sends the INVITE to T-SBE. O-SBE is the egress point to
+ the O-SSP domain, so it should ensure subsequent mid-dialog
+ requests traverse via itself. If O-SBE chooses to act as a
+ back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) [RFC3261], it will generate a
+ new INVITE request in next step. If O-SBE chooses to act as a
+ proxy, it should record-route to stay in the call path. In this
+ example, O-SBE is a B2BUA.
+
+ INVITE sip:+19175550100@example.net;user=phone SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP o-sbe1.example.com:5060

+ <allOneLine>
+ Contact: <sip:+19175550100@o-sbe1.example.com;user=phone;
+ transport=tcp>
+ </allOneLine>
+
+ Note that O-SBE may re-write the Request-URI with the target domain
+ in the SIP URI. Some proxy implementations will only accept the
+ request if the Request-URI contains their own domains.
+
+ 8. T-SBE determines the called party home proxy and directs the
+ call to the called party. T-SBE may use ENUM lookup or other
+ internal mechanism to locate the home proxy. If T-SSP uses ENUM
+ lookup, this internal ENUM entry is different from the external
+ ENUM entry populated for O-SSP. In this example, the internal
+ ENUM query returns the UAS's home proxy.

+ "u"
+ "E2U+SIP"
+ "!^.*$!sip:+19175550100@t-proxy.example.net!"
+ . )
+
+ 9. T-SBE receives the NAPTR record, and following the requirements
+ in [RFC3263], queries DNS for the SRV records indicated by the
+ NAPTR result. Not finding any, the T-SBE then queries DNS for

+ 12. RTP is established between the UAC and UAS. Note that the media
+ shown in Figure 2 passes through O-DBE and T-DBE, but the use of
+ DBE is optional.
+
+5.2.1. Administrative Characteristics
+
+ The static direct peering use case is typically implemented in a
+ scenario where there is a strong degree of trust between the two
+ administrative domains. Both administrative domains typically sign a
+ peering agreement that states clearly the policies and terms.
+
+5.2.2. Options and Nuances
+
+ In Figure 2, O-SSP and T-SSP peer via SBEs. Normally, the operator
+ will deploy the SBE at the edge of its administrative domain. The
+ signaling traffic will pass between two networks through the SBEs.
+ The operator has many reasons to deploy an SBE. For example, the
+ O-SSP may use [RFC1918] addresses for their UA and proxies. These
+ addresses are not routable in the target network. The SBE can
+ perform a NAT function. Also, the SBE eases the operation cost for
+ deploying or removing Layer 5 network elements. Consider the
+ deployment architecture where multiple proxies connect to a single
+ SBE. An operator can add or remove a proxy without coordinating with
+ the peer operator. The peer operator "sees" only the SBE. As long
+ as the SBE is maintained in the path, the peer operator does not need
+ to be notified.
+
+
+
+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 10]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ When an operator deploys SBEs, the operator is required to advertise
+ the SBE to the peer LRF so that the peer operator can locate the SBE
+ and route the traffic to the SBE accordingly.
+
+ SBE deployment is a decision within an administrative domain. Either
+ one or both administrative domains can decide to deploy SBE(s). To
+ the peer network, most important is to identify the next-hop address.
+ This decision does not affect the network's ability to identify the
+ next-hop address.
+
+5.3. Static Direct Peering Use Case - Assisting LUF and LRF
+
+ This use case shares many properties with the Static Direct Peering
+ Use Case Section 5.2. There must exist a pre-association between the
+ O-SSP and T-SSP. The difference is O-SSP will use the Assisting LUF/
+ LRF Provider for LUF and LRF. The LUF/LRF Provider stores the SED to
+ reach T-SSP and provides it to O-SSP when O-SSP requests it.

+ Similar to Static Direct Peering Use Case, the O-DBE and T-DBE in
+ Figure 3 are optional.
+
+5.3.1. Administrative Characteristics
+
+ The LUF/LRF Provider supplies the LUF and LRF services for the O-SSP.
+ Taken together, the LUF/LRF Provider, O-SSP, and T-SSP form a trusted
+ administrative domain. To reach the T-SSP, the O-SSP must still
+ require pre-arranged agreements for the peer relationship with the
+ T-SSP. The Layer 5 policy is maintained in the O-SSP and T-SSP
+ domains, and the LUF/LRF Provider may not be aware of any Layer 5
+ policy between the O-SSP and T-SSP.
+
+ A LUF/LRF Provider can serve multiple administrative domains. The
+ LUF/LRF Provider typically does not share SED from one administrative
+ domain to another administrative domain without appropriate
+ permission.
+
+5.3.2. Options and Nuances
+
+ The LUF/LRF Provider can use multiple methods to provide SED to the
+ O-SSP. The most commonly used are an ENUM lookup and a SIP Redirect.
+ The O-SSP should negotiate with the LUF/LRF Provider regarding which
+ query method it will use prior to sending a request to the LUF/LRF
+ Provider.
+
+ The LUF/LRF Providers must be populated with the T-SSP's AORs and
+ SED. Currently, this procedure is non-standardized and labor
+ intensive. A more detailed description of this problem has been
+ documented in the work in progress [DRINKS].
+
+5.4. Static Indirect Peering Use Case - Assisting LUF and LRF
+
+ The difference between a Static Direct Use Case and a Static Indirect
+ Use Case lies within the Layer 5 relationship maintained by the O-SSP
+ and T-SSP. In the Indirect use case, the O-SSP and T-SSP do not have
+ direct Layer 5 connectivity. They require one or multiple Indirect
+ Domains to assist with routing the SIP messages and possibly the
+ associated media.
+
+ In this use case, the O-SSP and T-SSP want to form a peer
+ relationship. For some reason, the O-SSP and T-SSP do not have
+ direct Layer 5 connectivity. The reasons may vary, for example,
+
+
+
+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 12]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ business demands and/or domain policy controls. Due to this indirect
+ relationship, the signaling will traverse from the O-SSP through one
+ or multiple I-SSPs to reach the T-SSP.
+
+ In addition, the O-SSP is using a LUF/LRF Provider. This LUF/LRF
+ Provider stores the T-SSP's SED pre-populated by the T-SSP. One
+ important motivation to use the LUF/LRF Provider is that the T-SSP
+ only needs to populate its SED once to the provider. Using an LUF/
+ LRF Provider allows the T-SSP to populate its SED once, while any
+ O-SSP T-SSP's SED can use this LUF/LRF Provider. Current practice
+ has shown that it is rather difficult for the T-SSP to populate its
+ SED to every O-SSP who must reach the T-SSP's subscribers. This is
+ especially true in the Enterprise environment.
+
+ Note that the LUF/LRF Provider and the I-SSP can be the same provider
+ or different providers.

+ Indirect Peering via an LUF/LRF Provider and I-SSP (SIP and Media)

+ Figure 4

+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 13]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ The following is a high-level depiction of the use case:
+
+ 1. The UAC initiates a call via SIP INVITE to the O-Proxy. The
+ O-Proxy is the home proxy for the UAC.
+
+ INVITE sip:+19175550100@example.com;user=phone SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP client.example.com:5060
+ ;branch=z9hG4bK74bf9
+ Max-Forwards: 10
+ From: Alice <sip:+14085550101@example.com;user=phone>
+ ;tag=12345
+ To: Bob <sip:+19175550100@example.com;user=phone>
+ Call-ID: abcde
+ CSeq: 1 INVITE
+ <allOneLine>
+ Contact: <sip:+19175550100@client.example.com;user=phone;
+ transport=tcp>
+ </allOneLine>
+
+ 2. The UAC knows the UAS's TN, but does not know the UAS's domain.
+ It appends its own domain to generate the SIP URI in the
+ Request-URI and TO header. The O-Proxy checks the Request-URI
+ and discovers that the Request-URI contains the user parameter
+ "user=phone". This parameter indicates that the Request-URI is
+ a phone number. So, the O-Proxy will extract the TN from the
+ Request-URI and query the LUF for SED information from a routing
+ database. In this example, the LUF is an ENUM database. The
+ ENUM entry looks similar to this:
+
+ $ORIGIN 0.0.1.0.5.5.5.7.1.9.1.e164.arpa.
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 10
+ 100
+ "u"
+ "E2U+SIP"
+ "!^.*$!sip:+19175550100@example.org!"
+ . )
+
+ Note that the response shows the next-hop is the SBE in I-SSP.
+ Alternatively, the O-SSP may have a pre-association with the I-SSP.
+ As such, the O-SSP will forward all requests that contain an external
+ domain in the Request-URI or an unknown TN to the I-SSP. The O-SSP
+ will rely on the I-SSP to determine the T-SSP and route the request
+ correctly. In this configuration, the O-SSP can skip Steps 2, 4, 5,
+ and 6 and forward the request directly to the I-SBE. This
+ configuration is commonly used in the Enterprise environment.
+
+
+
+
+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 14]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ 3. Given the O-Proxy's internal routing policy, the O-Proxy decides
+ to use the O-SBE to reach the I-SBE. The O-Proxy routes the
+ INVITE request to the O-SBE and adds a Route header that
+ contains the O-SBE.
+
+ INVITE sip:+19175550100@example.org;user=phone SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP o-proxy.example.com:5060
+ ;branch=z9hG4bKye8ad
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP client.example.com:5060
+ ;branch=z9hG4bK74bf9;received=192.0.1.1
+ Max-Forwards: 9
+ Route: <sip:o-sbe1.example.com;lr>

+ CSeq: 1 INVITE
+ <allOneLine>
+ Contact: <sip:+19175550100@client.example.com;user=phone;
+ transport=tcp>
+ </allOneLine>
+
+ 4. The O-SBE receives the requests and pops the top entry of the
+ Route header that contains "sip:o-sbe1.example.com". The O-SBE
+ examines the Request-URI and does an LRF for "example.org". In
+ this example, the LRF is a NAPTR DNS query of the domain. The
+ O-SBE receives a response similar to this:
+
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 50
+ 50
+ "S"
+ "SIP+D2T"
+ ""
+ _sip._tcp.i-sbe.example.org. )
+
+ IN NAPTR (
+ 90
+ 50
+ "S"
+ "SIP+D2U"
+ ""
+ _sip._udp.i-sbe.example.org. )
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 15]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+ 5. Given the lower order for TCP in the NAPTR response, the O-SBE
+ decides to use TCP for transport protocol, so it sends an SRV
+ DNS query for the SRV record for "_sip._tcp.i-sbe.example.org."
+ to the O-LRF.
+
+ ;; priority weight port target
+ IN SRV 0 2 5060 i-sbe1.example.org.
+ IN SRV 0 1 5060 i-sbe2.example.org.
+
+ 6. Given the higher weight for "i-sbe1.example.org", the O-SBE
+ sends a DNS query for an A record of "i-sbe1.example.org." to
+ get the A record:
+
+ ;; DNS ANSWER
+ i-sbe1.example.org. IN A 192.0.2.200
+ i-sbe1.example.org. IN A 192.0.2.201
+
+ 7. The O-SBE sends the INVITE to the I-SBE. The O-SBE is the entry
+ point to the O-SSP domain, so it should ensure subsequent mid-
+ dialog requests traverse via itself. If the O-SBE chooses to
+ act as a B2BUA, it will generate a new back-to-back INVITE
+ request in the next step. If the O-SBE chooses to act as proxy,
+ it should record-route to stay in the call path. In this
+ example, the O-SBE is a B2BUA.
+
+ INVITE sip:+19175550100@example.org;user=phone SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP o-sbe1.example.com:5060
+ ;branch= z9hG4bK2d4zzz

+ <allOneLine>
+ Contact: <sip:+19175550100@o-sbe1.example.com;user=phone;
+ transport=tcp>
+ </allOneLine>
+
+ 8. The I-SBE receives the request and queries its internal routing
+ database on the TN. It determines that the target belongs to
+ the T-SSP. Since the I-SBE is a B2BUA, the I-SBE generates a
+ new INVITE request to the T-SSP.

+
+ Note that if the I-SSP wants the media to traverse through the I-DBE,
+ the I-SBE must modify the Session Description Protocol (SDP) in the
+ Offer to point to its DBE.
+
+ 9. The T-SBE determines the called party home proxy and directs the
+ call to the called party. The T-SBE may use ENUM lookup or
+ another internal mechanism to locate the home proxy. If the
+ T-SSP uses ENUM lookup, this internal ENUM entry is different
+ from the external ENUM entry populated for O-SSP. This internal
+ ENUM entry will contain the information to identify the next hop
+ to reach the called party. In this example, the internal ENUM
+ query returns the UAS's home proxy.
+
+ $ORIGIN 0.0.1.0.5.5.5.7.1.9.1.e164.arpa.
+ IN NAPTR (

+ . )
+
+ Note that this step is optional. If the T-SBE has other ways to
+ locate the UAS home proxy, the T-SBE can skip this step and send the
+ request to the UAS's home proxy. We show this step to illustrate one
+ of the many possible ways to locate UAS's home proxy.
+
+ 10. The T-SBE receives the NAPTR record and, following the
+ requirements in [RFC3263], queries the DNS for the SRV records
+ indicated by the NAPTR result. Not finding any, the T-SBE then
+ queries DNS for the A record of domain "t-proxy.example.net.".

+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+5.4.1. Administrative Characteristics
+
+ This use case looks very similar to the Static Direct Peering Use
+ Case with Assisting LUF and LRF. The major difference is the O-SSP
+ and T-SSP do not have direct Layer 5 connectivity. Instead, O-SSP
+ connects to the T-SSP indirectly via the I-SSP.
+
+ Typically, an LUF/LRF Provider serves multiple O-SSPs. Two O-SSPs
+ may use different I-SSPs to reach the same T-SSP. For example,
+ O-SSP1 may use I-SSP1 to reach T-SSP, but O-SSP2 may use I-SSP2 to
+ reach T-SSP. Given the O-SSP and T-SSP pair as input, the LUF/LRF
+ Provider will return the SED of I-SSP that is trusted by O-SSP to
+ forward the request to T-SSP.
+
+ In this use case, there are two levels of trust relationship. The
+ first trust relationship is between the O-SSP and the LUF/LRF
+ Provider. The O-SSP trusts the LUF/LRF to provide the T-SSP's SED.
+ The second trust relationship is between the O-SSP and I-SSP. The
+ O-SSP trusts the I-SSP to provide Layer 5 connectivity to assist the
+ O-SSP in reaching the T-SSP. The O-SSP and I-SSP have a pre-arranged
+ agreement for policy. Note that Figure 4 shows a single provider to
+ supply both LUF/LRF and I-SSP, but O-SSP can choose two different
+ providers.
+
+5.4.2. Options and Nuances
+
+ Similar to the Static Direct Peering Use Case, the O-SSP and T-SSP
+ may deploy SBE and DBE for NAT traversal, security, transcoding, etc.
+ The I-SSP can also deploy the SBE and DBE for similar reasons (as
+ depicted in Figure 4).
+
+5.5. Static Indirect Peering Use Case
+
+ This use case shares many properties with the Static Indirect Use
+ Case with Assisting LUF and LRF. The difference is that the O-SSP
+ uses its internal LUF/LRF to control the routing database. By
+ controlling the database, the O-SSP can apply different routing rules
+ and policies to different T-SSPs. For example, the O-SSP can use
+ I-SSP1 and Policy-1 to reach T-SSP1, and use I-SSP2 and Policy-2 to
+ reach T-SSP2. Note that there could be multiple I-SSPs and multiple
+ SIP routes to reach the same T-SSP; the selection process is out of
+ scope of this document.

+ Indirect Peering via I-SSP (SIP and Media)
+
+ Figure 5
+
+5.5.1. Administrative Characteristics
+
+ The Static Indirect Peering Use Case is implemented in cases where no
+ direct interconnection exists between the originating and terminating
+ domains due to either business or physical constraints.
+
+ O-SSP <---> I-SSP = Relationship O-I
+
+ In the O-I relationship, typical policies, features, or functions
+ that deem this relationship necessary are number portability,
+ ubiquity of termination options, security certificate management, and
+ masquerading of originating VoIP network gear.
+
+ T-SSP <---> I-SSP = Relationship T-I
+
+ In the T-I relationship, typical policies, features, or functions
+ observed consist of codec "scrubbing", anonymizing, and transcoding.
+ The I-SSP must record-route and stay in the signaling path. The
+ T-SSP will not accept any message sent directly from the O-SSP.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Uzelac & Lee Informational [Page 20]
+
+RFC 6405 VoIP SIP Peering Use Cases November 2011
+
+
+5.5.2. Options and Nuances
+
+ In Figure 5, we show an I-DBE. Using an I-DBE is optional. For
+ example, the I-DBE can be used when the O-SSP and T-SSP do not have a
+ common codec. To involve an I-DBE, the I-SSP should know the list of
+ codecs supported by the O-SSP and T-SSP. When the I-SBE receives the
+ INVITE request, it will make a decision to invoke the I-DBE. An
+ I-DBE may also be used if the O-SSP uses Secure Real-time Transport
+ Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] for media and T-SSP does not support SRTP.
+
+5.6. On-Demand Peering Use Case
+
+ On-demand peering [RFC5486] describes how two SSPs form the peering
+ relationship without a pre-arranged agreement.
+
+ The basis of this use case is built on the fact that there is no pre-
+ established relationship between the O-SSP and T-SSP. The O-SSP and
+ T-SSP do not share any information prior to the dialog initiation
+ request. When the O-Proxy invokes the LUF and LRF on the Request-
+ URI, the terminating user information must be publicly available.
+ When the O-Proxy routes the request to the T-Proxy, the T-Proxy must
+ accept the request without any pre-arranged agreement with the O-SSP.
+
+ The On-demand Peering Use Case is uncommon in production. In this
+ memo, we capture only the high-level descriptions. Further analysis
+ is expected when this use case becomes more popular.
+
+5.6.1. Administrative Characteristics
+
+ The On-demand Direct Peering Use Case is typically implemented in a
+ scenario where the T-SSP allows any O-SSP to reach its serving
+ subscribers. The T-SSP administrative domain does not require any
+ pre-arranged agreement to accept the call. The T-SSP makes its
+ subscribers information publicly available. This model mimics the
+ Internet email model. The sender does not need an pre-arranged
+ agreement to send email to the receiver.
+
+5.6.2. Options and Nuances
+
+ Similar to the Static Direct Peering Use Case, the O-SSP and T-SSP
+ can decide to deploy the SBE. Since the T-SSP is open to the public,
+ the T-SSP is considered to be a higher security risk than static
+ model because there is no trusted relationship between the O-SSP and
+ T-SSP. The T-SSP should protect itself from any attack launched by
+ an untrusted O-SSP.

+7. Security Considerations
+
+ Session interconnect for VoIP, as described in this document, has a
+ wide variety of security issues that should be considered. For
+ example, if the O-SSP and T-SSP peer through public Internet, the
+ O-SSP must protect the signaling channel and accept messages only
+ from an authorized T-SSP. This document does not analyze the threats
+ in detail. [RFC6404] discusses the different security threats and
+ countermeasures related to VoIP peering.
