+1. Introduction
+
+ Some real-time communication endpoints support the combined use of
+ the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] and the Extensible
+ Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [RFC6120]. To improve
+ interoperability among such "CUSAX" endpoints [CUSAX], it can be
+ helpful to advertise each endpoint's SIP address over XMPP and each
+ endpoint's XMPP address over SIP, thus providing hints about the
+ communication capabilities of the endpoints. The former feature is
+ enabled by an XMPP extension protocol called Reachability Addresses
+ [XEP-0152]. As to the latter feature, discussion in the SIP
+ community led to the conclusion that it would be best to use the
+ Call-Info header field [RFC3261] with a value of "impp" ("instant
+ messaging and presence protocol") for the "purpose" header field
+ parameter. An example follows.
+
+ Call-Info: <xmpp:juliet@example.com> ;purpose=impp
+
+ Although CUSAX endpoints constitute the primary use case for the
+ "impp" purpose, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) [RFC3986] for an
+ instant messaging and presence protocol other than XMPP could be
+ included in the Call-Info header field.
+
+2. Security Considerations
+
+ Advertising an endpoint's XMPP address over SIP could inform
+ malicious entities about an alternative attack vector. Because the
+ "purpose" header field parameter could be spoofed, the receiving
+ endpoint ought to check the value against an authoritative source
+ such as a user directory. Clients can integrity protect and encrypt
+ this header field using end-to-end mechanisms such as S/MIME or hop-
+ by-hop mechanisms such as Transport Layer Security (TLS).
+
+ This specification provides a new way to correlate otherwise possibly
+ unconnected identifiers. Because such correlations can be privacy
+ sensitive, user agents ought to provide a means for users to control
+ whether or not these values are sent.

+
+
+3. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document defines and registers a new predefined value "impp" for
+ the "purpose" header field parameter of the Call-Info header field.
+ The IANA has completed this action by adding this RFC as a reference
+ to the line for the header field "Call-Info" and parameter name
+ "purpose" in the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values"
+ section of the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters"
+ registry as follows:
+
+ Header Field: Call-Info
+ Parameter Name: purpose
+ Predefined Values: Yes
+ Reference: [RFC3261][RFC5367][RFC6910][RFC6993]
