+1. Introduction
+
+ This document defines the use of the P-Early-Media header field for
+ use within SIP [1] messages in certain SIP networks to authorize the
+ cut-through of backward and/or forward early media when permitted by
+ the early media policies of the networks involved. The P-Early-Media
+ header field is intended for use in a SIP network, such as a 3GPP IMS
+ [13][14] that has the following characteristics: its early media
+ policy prohibits the exchange of early media between end users; it is
+ interconnected with other SIP networks that have unknown, untrusted,
+ or different policies regarding early media; and it has the
+ capability to "gate" (enable/disable) the flow of early media to/from
+ user equipment.
+
+ Within an isolated SIP network, it is possible to gate early media
+ associated with all endpoints within the network to enforce a desired
+ early media policy among network endpoints. However, when a SIP
+ network is interconnected with other SIP networks, only the boundary
+ node connected to the external network can determine which early
+ media policy to apply to a session established between endpoints on
+ different sides of the boundary. The P-Early-Media header field
+ provides a means for this boundary node to communicate this early
+ media policy decision to other nodes within the network.
+

+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+2. Applicability Statement
+
+ The use of this extension is only applicable inside a "Trust Domain"
+ as defined in RFC 3325 [6]. Nodes in such a Trust Domain are
+ explicitly trusted by its users and end-systems to authorize early
+ media requests only when allowed by early media policy within the
+ Trust Domain.
+
+ This document does NOT offer a general early media authorization
+ model suitable for inter-domain use or use in the Internet at large.
+ Furthermore, since the early media requests are not cryptographically
+ certified, they are subject to forgery, replay, and falsification in
+ any architecture that does not meet the requirements of the Trust
+ Domain.
+
+ An early media request also lacks an indication of who specifically
+ is making or modifying the request, and so it must be assumed that
+ the Trust Domain is making the request. Therefore, the information
+ is only meaningful when securely received from a node known to be a
+ member of the Trust Domain.
+
+ Although this extension can be used with parallel forking, it does
+ not improve on the known problems with early media and parallel
+ forking, as described in RFC 3960 [4], unless one can assume the use
+ of symmetric RTP.
+
+ Despite these limitations, there are sufficiently useful specialized
+ deployments that meet the assumptions described above, and can accept
+ the limitations that result, to warrant publication of this
+ mechanism. An example deployment would be a closed network that
+ emulates a traditional circuit switched telephone network.

+4. Background on Early Media Authorization
+
+ PSTN networks typically provide call progress information as backward
+ early media from the terminating switch towards the calling party.
+ PSTN networks also use forward early media from the calling party
+ towards the terminating switch under some circumstances for
+ applications, such as digit collection for secondary dialing. PSTN
+ networks typically allow backward and/or forward early media since
+ they are used for the purpose of progressing the call to the answer
+ state and do not involve the exchange of data between endpoints.
+
+ In a SIP network, backward early media flows from the User Agent
+ Server (UAS) towards the User Agent Client (UAC). Forward early
+ media flows from the UAC towards the UAS. SIP networks by default
+ allow both forms of early media, which may carry user data, once the
+ media path is established. Early media is typically desirable with a
+ PSTN gateway as UAS, but not with SIP user equipment as UAS.
+
+ To prevent the exchange of user data within early media while
+ allowing early media via PSTN gateways, a SIP network may have a
+ policy to prohibit backward early media from SIP user equipment and
+ to prohibit forward media towards SIP user equipment, either of which
+ may contain user data. A SIP network containing both PSTN gateways
+ and SIP end devices, for example, can maintain such an early media
+ policy by gating "off" any early media with a SIP end device acting
+ as UAS, gating "on" early media with a SIP end device acting as UAC,
+ and gating "on" early media at each PSTN gateway.
+
+ Unfortunately, a SIP network interconnected with another SIP network
+ may have no means of assuring that the interconnected network is
+ implementing a compatible early media policy, thus allowing the
+ exchange of user data within early media under some circumstances.
+ For example, if a network "A" allows all early media with user
+ equipment as UAC and an interconnected network "B" allows all early
+ media with user equipment as UAS, any session established between
+ user equipment as UAC in "A" and user equipment as UAS in "B" will
+ allow bidirectional user data exchange as early media. Other
+ combinations of early media policies may also produce similar
+ undesirable results.
+
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ The purpose of the extension is to allow a SIP network interconnected
+ to other SIP networks with different early media policies to
+ correctly identify and enable authorized early media according to its
+ policies.
+
+4.1. Backward Early Media
+
+ Backward early media in the PSTN typically comprises call progress
+ information, such as ringing feedback ("ringback"), or announcements
+ regarding special handling such as forwarding. It may also include
+ requests for further information, such as a credit card number to be
+ entered as forward early media in the form of Dual Tone Multi-
+ Frequency (DTMF) tones or speech. Backward early media of this type
+ provides information to the calling party strictly for the purpose of
+ progressing the call and involves no exchange of data between end
+ users. The usual PSTN charging policy assumes that no data is
+ exchanged between users until the call has been answered.
+
+ A terminating SIP User Agent (UA) outside of the SIP network, on the
+ other hand, may provide any user data in a backward early media
+ stream. Thus, if the network implements the usual early media
+ policy, the network equipment gating the backward early media flow
+ for the originating UA must distinguish between authorized early
+ media from a terminating SIP endpoint and unauthorized early media
+ from another SIP device outside of the network. Given the assumption
+ of a transitive trust relationship between SIP servers in the
+ network, this can be accomplished by including some information in a
+ backward SIP message that identifies the presence of authorized
+ backward early media. Since it is necessary to verify that this
+ indication comes from a trusted source, it is necessary for each
+ server on the path back to the originating UA to be able to verify
+ the trust relationship with the previous server and to remove such an
+ indication when it cannot do so. A server on the boundary to an
+ untrusted SIP network can assure that no indication of authorized
+ backward early media passes from an external UAS to a UAC within the
+ network. Thus, the use of a private header field that can be
+ modified by SIP proxies is to be preferred over the use of a
+ Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) attachment that cannot
+ be modified in this way.
+
+4.2. Forward Early Media
+
+ Forward early media is less common than backward early media in the
+ PSTN. It is typically used to collect secondary dialed digits, to
+ collect credit card numbers, or to collect other DTMF or speech
+ responses for the purpose of further directing the call. Forward
+ early media in the PSTN is always directed toward a network server
+
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 5]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ for the purpose of progressing a call and involves no exchange of
+ data between end users.
+
+ A terminating SIP UA outside of the SIP network, on the other hand,
+ may receive any user data in a forward early media stream. Thus, if
+ the network implements the usual early media policy, the network
+ equipment gating the forward early media flow for the originating UA
+ must distinguish between a terminating endpoint that is authorized to
+ receive forward early media, and another SIP device outside of the
+ network that is not authorized to receive forward early media
+ containing user data. This authorization can be accomplished in the
+ same manner as for backward early media by including some information
+ in a backward SIP message that identifies that the terminating side
+ is authorized to receive forward early media.
+
+5. Applicability of RFC 3959 and RFC 3960
+
+ The private header extension defined in this document is applicable
+ to the gateway model defined in RFC 3960 [4], since the PSTN gateway
+ is the primary requestor of early media in an IMS. For the same
+ reason, neither the application server model of RFC 3960, nor the
+ early-session disposition type defined in RFC 3959 [3] is applicable.
+
+ The gateway model of RFC 3960 [4] allows for individual networks to
+ create local policy with respect to the handling of early media, but
+ does not address the case where a network is interconnected with
+ other networks with unknown, untrusted, or different early media
+ policies. Without the kind of information in the P-Early-Media
+ header field, it is not possible for the network to determine whether
+ cut-through of early media could lead to the transfer of data between
+ end-users during session establishment.
+
+ Thus, the private header extension in this document is a natural
+ extension of the gateway model of RFC 3960 [4] that is applicable
+ within a transitive trust domain.
+
+6. Overview of Operation
+
+ This document defines a new P-Early-Media header field for the
+ purpose of requesting and authorizing requests for backward and/or
+ forward early media. A UAC capable of recognizing the P-Early-Media
+ header field may include the header field in an INVITE request. The
+ P-Early-Media header field in an INVITE request contains the
+ "supported" parameter.
+
+ As members of the Trust Domain, each proxy receiving an INVITE
+ request must decide whether to insert or delete the P-Early-Media
+ header field before forwarding.
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 6]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ A UAS receiving an INVITE request can use the presence of the P-
+ Early-Media header field in the request to decide whether to request
+ early media authorization in subsequent messages towards the UAC.
+ After receiving an incoming INVITE request, the UAS requesting
+ backward and/or forward early media will include the P-Early-Media
+ header field in a message towards the UAC within the dialog,
+ including direction parameter(s) that identify for each media line in
+ the session whether the early media request is for backward media,
+ forward media, both, or neither. The UAS can change its request for
+ early media by including a modified P-Early-Media header field in a
+ subsequent message towards the UAC within the dialog.
+
+ Each proxy in the network receiving the P-Early-Media header field in
+ a message towards the UAC has the responsibility for assuring that
+ the early media request comes from an authorized source. If a P-
+ Early-Media header field arrives from either an untrusted source, a
+ source not allowed to send backward early media, or a source not
+ allowed to receive forward early media, then the proxy may remove the
+ P-Early-Media header field or alter the direction parameter(s) of the
+ P-Early-Media header field before forwarding the message, based on
+ local policy.
+
+ A proxy in the network not receiving the P-Early-Media header field
+ in a message towards the UAC may insert one based on local policy.
+
+ If the proxy also performs gating of early media, then it uses the
+ parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media header field to decide whether to
+ open or close the gates for backward and forward early media flow(s)
+ between the UAs. The proxy performing gating of early media may also
+ add a "gated" parameter to the P-Early-Media header field before
+ forwarding the message so that other gating proxies in the path can
+ choose to leave open their gates.
+
+ If the UAC is a trusted server within the network (e.g., a PSTN
+ gateway), then the UAC may use the parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media
+ header field in messages received from the UAS to decide whether to
+ perform early media gating or cut-through and to decide whether or
+ not to render backward early media in preference to generating
+ ringback based on the receipt of a 180 Ringing response.
+
+ If the UAC is associated with user equipment, then the network will
+ have assigned a proxy the task of performing early media gating, so
+ that the parameter(s) of the P-Early-Media header field received at
+ such a UAC do not require that the UAC police the early media
+ flow(s), but they do provide additional information that the UAC may
+ use to render media.
+
+
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 7]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ The UAC and proxies in the network may also insert, delete, or modify
+ the P-Early-Media header field in messages towards the UAS within the
+ dialog according to local policy, but the interpretation of the
+ header field when used in this way is a matter of local policy and
+ not defined herein. The use of direction parameter(s) in this header
+ field could be used to inform the UAS of the final early media
+ authorization status.
+
+7. Limitations of the P-Early-Media Header Field
+
+ The P-Early-Media header field does not apply to any SDP with
+ Content-Disposition: early-session [3].
+
+ When parallel forking occurs, there is no reliable way to correlate
+ early media authorization in a dialog with the media from the
+ corresponding endpoint unless one can assume the use of symmetric
+ RTP, since the SDP messages do not identify the RTP source address of
+ any media stream. When a UAC or proxy receives multiple early
+ dialogs and cannot accurately identify the source of each media
+ stream, it SHOULD use the most restrictive early media authorization
+ it receives on any of the dialogs to decide the policy to apply
+ towards all received media. When early media usage is desired for
+ any reason and one cannot assume the use of symmetric RTP, it is
+ advisable to disable parallel forking using callerprefs [9].
+
+ Although the implementation of media gating is outside the scope of
+ this extension, note that media gating must be implemented carefully
+ in the presence of NATs and protocols that aid in NAT traversal.
+ Media gating may also introduce a potential for media clipping that
+ is similar to that created during parallel forking or any other
+ feature that may disable early media, such as custom ringback.
+
+8. The P-Early-Media Header Field
+
+ The P-Early-Media header field with the "supported" parameter MAY be
+ included in an INVITE request to indicate that the UAC or a proxy on
+ the path recognizes the header field.
+
+ A network entity MAY request the authorization of early media or
+ change a request for authorization of early media by including the
+ P-Early-Media header field in any message allowed by Table 1 within
+ the dialog towards the sender of the INVITE request. The P-Early-
+ Media header field includes one or more direction parameters where
+ each has one of the values: "sendrecv", "sendonly", "recvonly", or
+ "inactive", following the convention used for Session Description
+ Protocol (SDP) [7][8] stream directionality. Each parameter applies,
+ in order, to the media lines in the corresponding SDP messages
+ establishing session media. Unrecognized parameters SHALL be
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 8]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ silently discarded. Non-direction parameters are ignored for
+ purposes of early media authorization. If there are more direction
+ parameters than media lines, the excess SHALL be silently discarded.
+ If there are fewer direction parameters than media lines, the value
+ of the last direction parameter SHALL apply to all remaining media
+ lines. A message directed towards the UAC containing a P-Early-Media
+ header field with no recognized direction parameters SHALL NOT be
+ interpreted as an early media authorization request.
+
+ The parameter value "sendrecv" indicates a request for authorization
+ of early media associated with the corresponding media line, both
+ from the UAS towards the UAC and from the UAC towards the UAS (both
+ backward and forward early media). The value "sendonly" indicates a
+ request for authorization of early media from the UAS towards the UAC
+ (backward early media), and not in the other direction. The value
+ "recvonly" indicates a request for authorization of early media from
+ the UAC towards the UAS (forward early media), and not in the other
+ direction. The value "inactive" indicates either a request that no
+ early media associated with the corresponding media line be
+ authorized, or a request for revocation of authorization of
+ previously authorized early media.
+
+ The P-Early-Media header field in any message within a dialog towards
+ the sender of the INVITE request MAY also include the non-direction
+ parameter "gated" to indicate that a network entity on the path
+ towards the UAS is already gating the early media, according to the
+ direction parameter(s). When included in the P-Early-Media header
+ field, the "gated" parameter SHALL come after all direction
+ parameters in the parameter list.
+
+ When receiving a message directed toward the UAC without the P-
+ Early-Media header field and no previous early media authorization
+ request has been received within the dialog, the default early media
+ authorization depends on local policy and may depend on whether the
+ header field was included in the INVITE request. After an early
+ media authorization request has been received within a dialog, and a
+ subsequent message is received without the P-Early-Media header
+ field, the previous early media authorization remains unchanged.
+
+ The P-Early-Media header field in any message within a dialog towards
+ the UAS MAY be ignored or interpreted according to local policy.
+
+ The P-Early-Media header field does not interact with SDP
+ offer/answer procedures in any way. Early media authorization is not
+ influenced by the state of the SDP offer/answer procedures (including
+ preconditions and directionality) and does not influence the state of
+ the SDP offer/answer procedures. The P-Early-Media header field may
+ or may not be present in messages containing SDP. The most recently
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 9]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ received early media authorization applies to the corresponding media
+ line in the session established for the dialog until receipt of the
+ 200 OK response to the INVITE request, at which point all media lines
+ in the session are implicitly authorized. Early media flow in a
+ particular direction requires that early media in that direction is
+ authorized, that media flow in that direction is enabled by the SDP
+ direction attribute for the stream, and that any applicable
+ preconditions [11] are met. Early media authorization does not
+ override the SDP direction attribute or preconditions state, and the
+ SDP direction attribute does not override early media authorization.
+
+ Table 1 is an extension of Tables 2 and 3 in RFC 3261 [1] for the P-
+ Early-Media header field. The column "PRA" is for the PRACK method
+ [12]. The column "UPD" is for the UPDATE method [10].

+
+8.1. Procedures at the User Agent Client
+
+ A User Agent Client MAY include the P-Early-Media header field with
+ the "supported" parameter in an INVITE request to indicate that it
+ recognizes the header field.
+
+ A User Agent Client receiving a P-Early-Media header field MAY use
+ the parameter(s) of the header field to gate or cut-through early
+ media, and to decide whether to render early media from the UAS to
+ the UAC in preference to any locally generated ringback triggered by
+ a 180 Ringing response. If a proxy is providing the early media
+ gating function for the User Agent Client, then the gateway model of
+ RFC 3960 [4] for rendering of early media is applicable. A User
+ Agent Client without a proxy in the network performing early media
+ gating that receives a P-Early-Media header field SHOULD perform
+ gating or cut-through of early media according to the parameter(s) of
+ the header field.
+
+8.2. Procedures at the User Agent Server
+
+ A User Agent Server that is requesting authorization to send or
+ receive early media MAY insert a P-Early-Media header field with
+ appropriate parameters(s) in any message allowed in table 1 towards
+ the UAC within the dialog. A User Agent Server MAY request changes
+ in early media authorization by inserting a P-Early-Media header
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 10]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ field with appropriate parameter(s) in any subsequent message allowed
+ in table 1 towards the UAC within the dialog.
+
+ If the P-Early-Media header field is not present in the INVITE
+ request, the User Agent Server MAY choose to suppress early media
+ authorization requests and MAY choose to execute alternate early
+ media procedures.
+
+8.3. Procedures at the Proxy
+
+ When forwarding an INVITE request, a proxy MAY add, retain, or delete
+ the P-Early-Media header field, depending on local policy and the
+ trust relationship with the sender and/or receiver of the request.
+
+ When forwarding a message allowed in Table 1 towards the UAC, a proxy
+ MAY add, modify, or delete a P-Early-Media header field, depending on
+ local policy and the trust relationship with the sender and/or
+ receiver of the message. In addition, if the proxy controls the
+ gating of early media for the User Agent Client, it SHOULD use the
+ contents of the P-Early-Media header field to gate the early media,
+ according to the definitions of the header field parameters defined
+ in clause 8.
+
+9. Formal Syntax
+
+ The syntax of the P-Early-Media header field is described below in
+ ABNF, according to RFC 4234 [5], as an extension to the ABNF for SIP
+ in RFC 3261 [1]. Note that not all combinations of em-param elements
+ are semantically valid.
+
+ P-Early-Media = "P-Early-Media" HCOLON
+ [ em-param *(COMMA em-param) ]
+ em-param = "sendrecv" / "sendonly" / "recvonly"
+ / "inactive" / "gated" / "supported" / token
+
+10. Security Considerations
+
+ The use of this extension is only applicable inside a "Trust Domain",
+ as defined in RFC 3325 [6]. This document does NOT offer a general
+ early media authorization model suitable for inter-domain use or use
+ in the Internet at large.
+
+ There are no confidentiality concerns associated with the P-Early-
+ Media header field. It is desirable to maintain the integrity of the
+ direction parameters in the header field across each hop between
+ servers to avoid the potential for unauthorized use of early media.
+ It is assumed that the P-Early-Media header field is used within the
+ context of the 3GPP IMS trust domain or a similar trust domain,
+
+
+
+Ejzak Informational [Page 11]
+
+RFC 5009 P-Early-Media Header September 2007
+
+
+ consisting of a collection of SIP servers maintaining pair wise
+ security associations.
+
+ Within the trust domain of a network it is only necessary to police
+ the use of the P-Early-Media header field at the boundary to user
+ equipment served by the network and at the boundary to peer networks.
+ It is assumed that boundary servers in the trust domain of a network
+ will have local policy for the treatment of the P-Early-Media header
+ field as it is sent to or received from any possible server external
+ to the network. Since boundary servers are free to modify or remove
+ any P-Early-Media header field in SIP messages forwarded across the
+ boundary, the integrity of the P-Early-Media header field can be
+ verified to the extent that the connections to external servers are
+ secured. The authenticity of the P-Early-Media header field can only
+ be assured to the extent that the external servers are trusted to
+ police the authenticity of the header field.
