The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Caller Preferences for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ' <draft-ietf-sip-callerprefs-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Session Initiation Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson. Technical Summary This document describes a set of extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) which allow a caller to express preferences about request handling in servers. These preferences include the ability to select which Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) a request gets routed to, and to specify certain request handling directives in proxies and redirect servers. It does so by defining three new request header fields, Accept-Contact, Reject-Contact, and Request-Disposition, which specify the caller's preferences. Working Group Summary The working group participated in very active review, and then reached a point of strong support of advancement. There was a mid-course review started by the Applications Area Director for SIMPLE of the time, Patrik Faltstrom, and continued by his successor, Ted Hardie. This resulted in many clarifying changes in design, and the split of functions (proposed by Ted) into caller prefs in this document, and callee caps, also in review. Protocol Quality There are prototypes of this specification (in earlier versions). The reviewing for the IESG was done by Allison Mankin and Ted Hardie. RFC Editor Notes Section 5.2 Old: As an example, the following Accept-Contact header field expresses a desire to route a call to a mobile device: New: As an example, the following Accept-Contact header field expresses a desire to route a call to a mobile device, using feature parameters taken from [3]: Section 8 Add to the reference to RFC 2506 [13], and add to the Informative References [13] Holtman, K., Mutz, A. and T. Hardie, "Media Feature Tag Registration Procedure", BCP 31, RFC 2506, March 1999. Section 10 Old: parallel-directive / queue-directive) New: parallel-directive / queue-directive Old: ;;feature param from RFC XXXX New: ;;feature param from RFC XXXX (substitute for XXX ;;the RFC number of draft-ietf-sip-callee-caps) Section 11 Security Considerations Old: The presence of caller preferences in a request has an effect on the ways in which the request is handled at a server. As a result, it is especially important that requests with caller preferences be integrity-protected. New: The presence of caller preferences in a request has an effect on the ways in which the request is handled at a server. As a result, requests with caller preferences SHOULD be integrity-protected with the sips mechanism specified in RFC 3261, Section 26.
