P-Access-Network-Info ABNF Update
Abstract
This document updates RFC 7315, by modifying the extension-access-
info part of the P-Access-Network-Info header field Augmented Backus-
Naur Form (ABNF), and by adding the following 'access-info' header
field parameter values to the list of 'access-info' header field
parameter values in the ABNF: 'operator-specific-GI' and
'utran-sai-3gpp'. The values are defined in the ABNF but are not
included in the list.

1. Introduction
[RFC7315] defines the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261]
P-Access-Network-Info header field.
The header field syntax contains an 'access-info' header field
parameter, with a set of pre-defined values. Most pre-defined values
follow the 'generic-param' rule [RFC3261]. However, currently the
Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234] in [RFC7315] requires new
values to follow the 'gen-value' rule [RFC3261], which is more
restrictive than 'generic-param'. There is no justification for the
restriction, and new values have already been defined following the
'generic-param' rule.
The ABNF also defines the following 'access-info' header field
parameter values: 'operator-specific-GI' and 'utran-sai-3gpp'.
However, the values are not included in the list of 'access-info'
values.
This document updates Section 5.4 of [RFC7315], by modifying the
extension-access-info part of the P-Access-Network-Info header field
ABNF.

RFC 7913 PANI ABNF June 2016
As the P-Access-Network-Info header field is mainly used in networks
defined by the 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), where new
values following the 'generic-param' rule have been defined
[TS.3GPP.24.229], the update is not considered to cause issues with
backward compatibility.
2. Update to RFC 7315
This section updates the ABNF defined in Section 5.4 of RFC 7315, as
described below:
Old syntax:
access-info = cgi-3gpp / utran-cell-id-3gpp /
dsl-location / i-wlan-node-id /
ci-3gpp2 / eth-location /
ci-3gpp2-femto / fiber-location /
np / gstn-location /local-time-zone /
dvb-rcs2-node-id / extension-access-info
np = "network-provided"
extension-access-info = gen-value
New syntax:
access-info = cgi-3gpp / utran-cell-id-3gpp /
dsl-location / i-wlan-node-id /
ci-3gpp2 / eth-location /
ci-3gpp2-femto / fiber-location /
np / gstn-location /local-time-zone /
dvb-rcs2-node-id / operator-specific-GI /
utran-sai-3gpp / extension-access-info
np = "network-provided"
extension-access-info = generic-param
3. Security Considerations
The security considerations for the P-Access-Network-Info header
field are defined in [RFC7315]. The ABNF update defined in this
document does not impact the security considerations.
