Hello All,
Currently, we consider no distinction between "public" and "private" networks. Public network operator is regulated and licensed.
UNI (i.e. the interface between a public network and its user, which may be a private network) has asymmetric trust, it is expected that the user trusts the network, but the network doesn't trust its user. (Think not of malicious clients but misconfigured equipment which might put the entire network at risk.)
As far as I understand, the public network MUST NOT reject a call just because its source is unidentified. This is inconsistent with current I-D (verifier MUST reject some calls). I suggest some rewording...as
According to local policy and regulations, the verifier either: rejects the call (in public networks, this is allowed only when explicitly requested by user), or marks the call by removing Identity header and adding a Warning header (default for public networks), or does nothing.
Regards,
Anton.
