Re: [martini] New text for gin section 7.1.1 first paragraph

[Hadriel Kaplan <[e-mail]>]

You can look at it that way, or you can look at it a different way: all GIN is (supposed) to be doing is specifying a means to use REGISTER for bulk contacts - a compressed form of sending unique REGISTER requests per UA.  GRUU is not mandatory for REGISTER of a single AoR->contact, ergo it shouldn't be necessary for REGISTER of multiple AoR->contacts.  We're specifying a protocol, not a service profile.  The latter is more the SIP Forum's role, for example.

For example, SSP support for an out-of-dialog REFER to a contact URI shouldn't be considered mandatory as discussed previously. As such, I think the text proposed should be conditional based on whether such services are supported by the SSP across it's interfaces.

If an SSP supports such services across the SSP interfaces, the SSP MUST support the public GRUU mechanism described in this section, unless the SSP has other means of providing globally routable contact URIs (e.g., by acting as a B2BUA and performing mapping between SIP-PBX-provided local contact URIs and SSP-provided globally routable contact URIs. In such a case the lifetime of the mapping may depend on the services supported by the SSP)."

The bulk registration mechanism doesn't register UAs behind the PBX - it registers contacts for each of the AORs assigned to the PBX. What we are concerned about here is contact URIs for UAs behind the PBX. Those UAs register with the PBX, they do not register using the bulk registration mechanism. So my revised words would be as follows (only the first sentence has changed):
