This violates regulatory requirements in countries where ISUP must only be sent to licensed carriers. For example, called parties will see the calling party numbers, even if the calling party required privacy. Apart from the MIME issues, this prevents us from using encapsulation. > > 2) Encrypting SIP-T message bodies would solve 1), but looking at SIPit results, S/MIME for SIP is a dead technology. > S/MIME for a general purpose network suffers from the classical key distribution problem. It's not used for the same reason encrypted email is not used (except among the geek community). But you're not talking about general purpose networks. You're talking about tightly constrained networks with PSTN gateways that are either all within a single administrative domain, or that communicate with each other through bilateral agreements. In these circumstances, key distribution is no more difficult a problem than IP address assignment. It's a simple matter of configuration. > 3) Will application servers acting as B2BUAs deal properly with SIP-T multipart MIME bodies?

Until someone sits down and documents their behavior, we can't really do too much to work around their behavior. It's the same problem we're having all over the place (identity, MSRP ACM, etc). There's no point in talking about something as nebulous as B2BUA behavior. > 4) Many client don't implement Multipart MIME, as it can get quite complex (what to do with multiple SDP bodies, alternative SDP bodies etc). I'd have to ask my vendors to add complexity to the software without real benefit ("You'll have to implement multipart MIME, so we can send binary blobs to you the device has to throw away"). In the year 2009 some SIP clients don't even get simple SDP offer/answer right, how could we expect them to handle Multipart MIME in a sensible manner? While many UAs won't be able to ignore the multitype body (aside: this is sad -- email clients all can), you'd be hard pressed to find one that can't understand multipart that also won't respond to a multipart body in a request with a 415. This ends up looking just like SIP authentication, since the UAC will detect the failure to support multipart and re-attempt with a single body: UAC UAS |---INVITE--->| |<----415-----| |---INVITE--->| |<----180-----| ... |<----200-----| |-----ACK---->| > 5) User agents might have to switch TCP, just to receive oversized SIP messages with SIP-T bodies that will by thrown away. > At one point, you said "IMS." I don't think you'll find an IMS client that has any hope of receiving a UDP SIP message -- show me an INVITE on the terminating side of an IMS network that is somehow smaller than 1500 bytes, and I'll be shocked into silence. TCP is a foregone conclusion. /a
