I think the problem can be fixed by deleting the phrase "within its domain" (and also
"a priori", which doesn't add anything):

"..., unless the processing entity knows that it can rely on a downstream processing
entity to apply the requested privacy ..."

The crucial fact is "entity A knows that entity B will do it", not whether or how the
two entities are related to each other.  And in practice, whether or not "entity A knows ..."
is clearer than whether or not "entity A is in the same trust domain as entity B",
and possibly clearer than "entity A is in the same SIP domain as entity B" --
the latter two questions are fraught with definitional problems, whereas the first
question is purely functional.

Paul,

In the context of 4244/-bis, the term domain is a DNS domain (per RFC 3261) and not a SPEC-T Trust Domain per RFC 3325.  However, the specific terminology we are referring to is also in RFC 3261 in that a SIP entity can be responsible for multiple domains, which is not a Trust domain, but is something that can be configured.  That's the context meant in RFC 4244/-bis.  It is outside the scope of RFC 3261 (and thus RFC 4244/-bis) as to how those relationships are configured. It could certainly be done using the Trust domain model, but again, that's out of scope.

If it helps, I can add in the terminology section that domain (and the terminology around the domains for which an entity is responsible, etc. ) is used in the same context as RFC 3261, but I personally don't think that should be necessary.

Mary.

Hmm. I cannot find that one anywhere in my own archives, and I don't recall seeing it. Don't know why. :-(

That sentence is written within the context of core RFC 3261.  We really didn't get into the RFC 3325 trust domain concept in RFC 4244 - in particular because RFC 3325 is informational.  However, there is an UNLESS later in that section:

"...,unless the processing entity knows a priori that it can rely on a downstream processing entity within its domain to apply the requested privacy or local policy allows the forwarding."

So, I will include that same clause in the sentence you are concerned about.

That doesn't do it for me. I think one way or another you need to address whether "domain" means "DNS domain" or "trust domain". And if it means "trust domain" then of course we need a ref to 3325.

You seem to mean DNS domain, but the kinds of actions you are discussing seem more related to 3323 and 3325. ISTM that if you mean DNS domain then you mean it based on an assumption that "DNS domain" = "trust domain".

       Thanks,
       Paul

Thanks,
Mary.

       There was some discussion on the -00 version back in July that
       was not, AFAICT, addressed in the -01 version. There is a thread
       emanating from mary's announcement of the -00 version. The
       following is a hook into that thread:

       http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sipcore/current/msg03056.html

       It has to do with when privacy should be applied.
