Re: [splices] SIP INVOKE method

["Parthasarathi R (partr)" <[e-mail]>]

Rifaat,
 
I skimmed through your draft. I like the idea of controlling remote UA
action using new method (INVOKE). Few comments in the draft:
 
1) Sec 4.1: SUBSCRIBE with expire=0 is used to terminate INVOKE dialog
by INVOKE-Issuer. Whether it is ok to "INVOKE with expire=0" terminate
INVOKE dialog as it avoids the dependency on SUBSCRIBE message to
terminate.
 
2) I foresee the complexity in creating explicit subscription because
two dialog creation methods (INVOKE & SUBSCRIBE) are used to make the
single action. It will be good in case INVOKE acts similar to INVITE
(Dialog creation & Action). INVITE has the implicit action like "ring
the phone" or "auto-answer" whereas INVOKE has explicitly mention the
action to be done in INVOKE-recipient.
 
3) Do you foresee INVOKE dialog creation which change the action within
INVOKE dialog. For example: Following three actions using single INVOKE
dialog creation but updating the action based on the application
information..
 
     Action 1:  Create the call
     Action 2:  Hold the call
     Action 3:  Terminate the call
 
Thanks
Partha

Thank you all for your quick review and feedback so far.

I will work on a new version of the draft that removes the implicit
subscription.

 

Please, let me know if you have any other comments beside the implicit
subscription issue.

 

Regards,

Rifaat

Hi,

 

As discussed in the last SPLICES WG meeting in Prague, the REFER method
is overloaded and has limitations that prevents it from being the ideal
method for action invocation.

We have worked on the following new draft that defines a new SIP method
to be used for invoking actions:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-yusef-splices-invoke/

 

We would appreciate it if people review the document and provide us with
their feedback.

 

Regards,

Rifaat
