+ The 'sip-trunking-capability' Link Relation Type
+
+Abstract
+
+ This Informational document defines the 'sip-trunking-capability'
+ link relation type that may be used by an enterprise telephony
+ Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network to retrieve a SIP trunking
+ capability set document, which contains the capabilities and
+ configuration requirements of an Internet Telephony Service Provider
+ (ITSP). These technical requirements allow for seamless peering
+ between SIP-based enterprise telephony networks and the ITSP.

+1. Introduction
+
+ RFC 8288 [RFC8288] defines a way to indicate relationships between
+ resources on the Web. This document specifies the 'sip-trunking-
+ capability' link relation type according to the rules of RFC 8288.
+ Links with this relationship type can be used to exchange capability
+ information between potential peer devices. In the event that
+ systems require additional parameters and configuration to negotiate
+ communication, a well-known URI can be utilized to deliver
+ information to potential peers, including machine-readable
+ instructions and parameters needed for peering.
+
+ The 'sip-trunking-capability' link relation type may be used on web
+ resources hosted by ITSPs to provide a structured and detailed
+ capability set document. The capability set document [SIP-AUTO-PEER]
+ encapsulates a set of characteristics of an ITSP, which when
+ retrieved by enterprise telephony network devices allows for
+ automated establishment of SIP [RFC3261] trunking between the two
+ telephony networks.
+
+2. The 'sip-trunking-capability' Link Relation Type
+
+ A capability set document is hosted via web resources by the ITSP. A
+ unique location of the document can be preconfigured and provided to
+ each peer by the ITSP, or a centrally published resource can be used
+ that dynamically generates the capability set document based on one
+ or more Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) [RFC3986] determined by
+ the peering device. The capability set document describes the
+ configuration parameters required to successfully establish SIP
+ trunking between an enterprise and an ITSP network. The capability
+ set document is composed of structured and machine-readable
+ parameters that can be converted into configuration data to meet the
+ communication requirements of the ITSP. The need for an enterprise
+ telephony network to obtain a capability set document from an ITSP is
+ documented in "Automatic Peering for SIP Trunks" [SIP-AUTO-PEER].
+
+3. Example Usage
+
+ This section provides an example of possible use of the 'sip-
+ trunking-capability' relation type. The enterprise network device
+ solicits the location of the capability set document from the well-
+ known URI hosted by the ITSP using the WebFinger protocol [RFC7033].
+ The following examples include line breaks and indentation for
+ clarity.
+
+ GET /.well-known/webfinger?
+ resource=acct%3Atrunkent1456%40example.com&
+ rel=sip-trunking-capability
+ HTTP/1.1
+ Host: ssp1.example.com
+
+ The location of the capability set document is returned to the
+ network device in the "href" attribute.
+
+ HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+ Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
+ Content-Type: application/jrd+json
+ {
+ "subject" : "acct:trunkent1456@example.com",
+ "links" :
+ [
+ {
+ "rel" : "sip-trunking-capability",
+ "href" : "https://capserver.ssp1.example.com/capdoc.json"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+ The ITSP may use an authentication framework such as OAuth 2.0
+ [RFC6749] to determine the identity of the enterprise telephony
+ network to provide the appropriate capability set document.
+
+4. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has registered the 'sip-trunking-capability' link relation under
+ the "Link Relation Types" registry as follows:
+
+ Relation Name: sip-trunking-capability
+
+ Description: Refers to a capability set document that defines
+ parameters or configuration requirements for automated peering and
+ communication-channel negotiation of the Session Initiation
+ Protocol (SIP).
+
+ Reference: RFC 9409
+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ The 'sip-trunking-capability' relation type is not known to introduce
+ any new security issues not already discussed in RFC 8288 for generic
+ use of web-linking mechanisms. However, it is recommended to
+ exercise caution when publishing potentially sensitive capability
+ information over unencrypted or unauthenticated channels. Additional
+ security recommendations are outlined in the capability set document
+ definition. See the Security Considerations section in "Automatic
+ Peering for SIP Trunks" [SIP-AUTO-PEER].
