             A P-Served-User Header Field Parameter for an
         Originating Call Diversion (CDIV) Session Case in the
                   Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Abstract

   The P-Served-User header field was defined based on a requirement
   from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IMS (IP Multimedia
   Subsystem) in order to convey the identity of the served user, his/
   her registration state, and the session case that applies to that
   particular communication session and application invocation.  A
   session case is metadata that captures the status of the session of a
   served user regardless of whether or not the served user is
   registered or the session originates or terminates with the served
   user.  This document updates RFC 5502 by defining a new P-Served-User
   header field parameter, "orig-cdiv".  The parameter conveys the
   session case used by a proxy when handling an originating session
   after Call Diversion (CDIV) services have been invoked for the served
   user.  This document also fixes the ABNF in RFC 5502 and provides
   more guidance for using the P-Served-User header field in IP
   networks.

1.  Introduction

1.1.  General

   The P-Served-User header field [RFC5502] was defined based on a
   requirement from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IMS
   (IP Multimedia Subsystem) in order to convey the identity of the
   served user, his/her registration state, and the session case between
   a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) and an Application
   Server (AS) on the IMS Service Control (ISC) interface.  A session
   case is metadata that captures the status of the session of a served
   user regardless of whether or not the served user is registered or
   the session originates or terminates with the served user.  For more
   information on session cases and the IMS, a detailed description can
   be found in [TS.3GPP.24.229].

   [RFC5502] defines the originating and terminating session cases for a
   registered or unregistered user.  This document extends the P-Served-
   User header field to include the session case for a forwarded leg
   when both a CDIV service has been invoked and an originating service
   of the diverting user has to be triggered.

RFC 8498         P-Served-User Parameter for CDIV in SIP   February 2019


   The sessioncase-param parameter of the P-Served-User header field is
   extended with the "orig-cdiv" parameter for this originating-after-
   CDIV session case.

   The following section defines usage of the "orig-cdiv" parameter of
   the P-Served-User header field, Section 3 discusses the applicability
   and scope of this new header field parameter, and Section 4 specifies
   the proxy behavior for handling the new header field parameter.
   Section 5 clarifies some of the [RFC5502] procedures, Section 6
   describes the extended syntax and corrects the syntax of [RFC5502],
   Section 7 gives some call flow examples, Section 8 registers the
   P-Served-User header field parameters with IANA, and Section 9
   discusses the security properties of the environment where this new
   header field parameter is intended to be used.

1.2.  Basic Use Case

   In the 3GPP IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), the S-CSCF (Serving CSCF)
   is a SIP proxy that serves as a registrar and handles originating and
   terminating session states for users assigned to it.  This means that
   any call that is originated by a specific user or any call that is
   terminated to that specific user will pass through the S-CSCF that is
   assigned to that user.

   At the moment that an S-CSCF is assigned to a specific user, the user
   profile is downloaded from the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) to that
   S-CSCF; see [TS.3GPP.29.228].  The user profile contains the list of
   actions to be taken by the S-CSCF for the served user depending on
   the session direction (originating or terminating) and the user state
   (registered or not) in the IMS network.  With this user profile, the
   S-CSCF determines the current case and applies the corresponding
   actions such as forwarding the request to an AS.  The AS then goes
   through a similar process of determining who is the current served
   user, what is his/her "registration state", and what is the "session
   case" of the session.  [RFC5502] defines all those parameters and in
   particular the originating and terminating session cases.

   In basic call scenarios, there is no particular issue for the S-CSCF
   and AS to know which scenario needs to be realized, but in case of
   CDIV services for which the session is re-targeted, the session cases
   defined in [RFC5502] pose some limitations as described in the
   following section.

RFC 8498         P-Served-User Parameter for CDIV in SIP   February 2019


1.3.  Problem Statement

   To illustrate the problem statement, let's imagine Alice trying to
   call Bob and Bob having a CDIV service activated towards Carol's
   address.  In the case of a CDIV service, the received request is
   first treated as a terminating session case (at Bob's side), and the
   terminating filter criteria configured in the S-CSCF is performed.  A
   filter criteria is information in the user profile that determines
   whether an initial request is sent to a particular AS.  When the AS
   receives the call initiation request, the AS is able to determine the
   served user (Bob) and the session case (here "term") from the
   received P-Served-User header field content and is able to execute
   terminating services.  When the CDIV service is executed (as a
   terminating service of Bob), the AS changes the target (Request-URI)
   of the session (toward Carol's address) and a new call leg is
   created.  The served user becomes the diverting user.  This new call
   leg could be considered as an originating call leg from the diverting
   user (Bob), but this is not the case.  Indeed, the originating user
   remains the same (Alice), and some of the diverting user's
   originating services should not be triggered as if it was an
   originating call.  For instance, the originating user identity
   (Alice) should not be restricted because the diverting user (Bob) has
   a privacy service for his own identity.  The privacy of the diverting
   user should apply to information related to this user only (e.g., in
   the History-Info header field).  In the same manner, some specific
   services will need to be triggered on the outgoing leg after a CDIV.
   Without a dedicated session case for originating-after-CDIV, the
   S-CSCF cannot trigger an originating service for the diverting user,
   nor can an AS execute the procedures for this particular session
   case.

   For this use case, this document creates a new parameter
   ("orig-cdiv") for the originating-after-CDIV session case to be
   embedded in the P-Served-User header field.

2.  Conventions and Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

RFC 8498         P-Served-User Parameter for CDIV in SIP   February 2019


3.  Applicability

   The use of the P-Served-User header field extensions is only
   applicable inside a Trust Domain [RFC3324] for the P-Served-User
   header field.  Nodes in such a Trust Domain explicitly trust each
   other to convey the served user and to be responsible for withholding
   that information outside of the Trust Domain.  The means by which the
   network determines the served user and the policies that are executed
   for a specific served user is outside the scope of this document.

4.  Proxy Behavior and Parameter Handling

   The following section illustrates how this header field parameter can
   be used in a 3GPP network.

   For a terminating call, the following steps will be followed:

   1.  The S-CSCF receives the initial INVITE request for a terminating
       call and determines that the session case is for a terminating
       user as described in [RFC5502].

   2.  The S-CSCF determines who is the served user by looking at the
       Request-URI and saves the current Request-URI.

   3.  The S-CSCF analyzes the filter criteria.  It then sends the
       request to the AS of the served user as an INVITE that includes
       the P-Served-User header field with the "sescase" parameter set
       to "term" and the "regstate" set to the corresponding value in
       order to trigger execution of terminating services.

   4.  Based on some criteria, the AS concludes that the request has to
       be diverted to another target user or application.  The AS
       replaces the received Request-URI with the new diverted-to
       address and stores the successive Request-URI(s) values by adding
       one or two History-Info header field entry(ies) [RFC7044] in the
       outgoing INVITE.  In the History-Info header field, the served
       user address is tagged by using the mp-param header field
       parameter added in the newly created entry that contains the
       diverted-to address.  The AS forwards the INVITE request back to
       the S-CSCF.

   5.  When receiving back the INVITE request, the S-CSCF can see that
       the topmost Route header field contains its own hostname, but the
       Request-URI does not match the saved Request-URI.  In this case,
       the S-CSCF updates the P-Served-User header field content by
       replacing the "sescase" parameter with the "orig-cdiv" parameter.
       The P-Served-User header field value remains unchanged.

RFC 8498         P-Served-User Parameter for CDIV in SIP   February 2019


   6.  The S-CSCF forwards the INVITE request to an AS that hosts the
       served user's (diverting user's) originating services, which need
       to be executed on the forwarded leg after a CDIV service.

   7.  When the AS receives the INVITE request, it determines that the
       session case is for the "orig-cdiv" session case and performs the
       originating services to be executed after retargeting for the
       diverting user (i.e., served user).

5.  Clarification of RFC 5502 Procedures

   This document provides the following guidance for the handling of the
   P-Served-User header field that is missing in [RFC5502]:

   o  The P-Served-User header field MUST NOT be repeated within a
      request for a particular session at a particular time for the
      reason that session cases are mutually exclusive.  This document
      updates [RFC5502] to clearly state that the P-Served-User header
      field MUST NOT contain multiple values either comma-separated or
      header-separated.  This document also updates the syntax of the
      header from [RFC5502] to reflect this uniqueness of parameter
      values.

   o  [RFC5502] does not clearly state what to do with the received
      P-Served-User header field when a call is diverted to another
      destination.  This document highlights that there are several ways
      of handling the P-Served-User header field: the S-CSCF could store
      the previous "regstate" value and decide that the same value
      applies, the "regstate" may no longer be relevant after a
      diverting service so the S-CSCF removes it, or the "regstate"
      could be combined with the "orig-cdiv" session case to provide
      different services depending on whether the served user is
      registered or unregistered.  These choices are implementation
      dependent.

6.  Syntax

6.1.  General

   [RFC5502] defines the P-Served-User header field with the
   sessioncase-param parameter "sescase", which is specified as having
   "orig" and "term" as predefined values.  This document defines an
   additional parameter, "orig-cdiv", for the sessioncase-param.

   Because this document extends the existing sessioncase-param
   parameter, and because errors have been identified in the syntax,
   this document corrects and extends the P-Served-User header field.




Mohali                        Informational                     [Page 7]
RFC 8498         P-Served-User Parameter for CDIV in SIP   February 2019


   The extension of the sessioncase-param parameter to add the
   "orig-cdiv" session case is done in a way that fits the parameter
   format introduced in Release 11 of the 3GPP [TS.3GPP.24.229] and
   maintains backward compatibility.

   "EQUAL", "HCOLON", "SEMI", "name-addr", "addr-spec", and
   "generic-param" are defined in [RFC3261].

   If the "addr-spec" contains a comma, question mark, or semicolon, the
   "name-addr" form MUST be used.  The "name-addr" form requires the use
   of angle brackets (< and >).

6.2.  ABNF

   The Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234] syntax of the
   P-Served-User header field is described in [RFC5502].

   This document updates [RFC5502] to correct the P-Served-User header
   field ABNF syntax and extend it as the following:

   P-Served-User            = "P-Served-User" HCOLON PServedUser-value
                              *(SEMI served-user-param)
   served-user-param        = sessioncase-param
                              / registration-state-param
                              / generic-param
   PServedUser-value        = name-addr / addr-spec
   sessioncase-param        = "sescase" EQUAL ("orig"/"term")/ orig-cdiv
   registration-state-param = "regstate" EQUAL ("unreg" / "reg")
   orig-cdiv                = "orig-cdiv"

   Examples of possible P-Served-User header fields:

   P-Served-User: <sip:user@example.com>; orig-cdiv; regstate=reg
   or
   P-Served-User: <sip:user@example.com>; orig-cdiv
   or
   P-Served-User: <sip:user@example.com>; sescase=term; regstate=unreg

   This document allows choosing between "addr-spec" and "name-addr"
   when constructing the header field value.  As specified in RFC 8217,
   the "addr-spec" form MUST NOT be used if its value would contain a
   comma, semicolon, or question mark [RFC8217].

8.  IANA Considerations

   The syntax of the P-Served-User header field [RFC5502] is updated in
   Section 4 of this document.

   IANA has updated the existing row for the P-Served-User header field
   in the "Header Fields" subregistry within the "Session Initiation
   Protocol (SIP) Parameters" registry:

            Header Name        Compact Form          Reference
           -------------       ------------     ------------------
           P-Served-User          none          [RFC5502][RFC8498]

   IANA has added new rows for the P-Served-User header field parameters
   in the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values" subregistry
   within the "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters" registry
   (as per the registry created by [RFC3968]):

     Header Field   Parameter Name    Predefined Values    Reference
    --------------  ----------------  -----------------  -------------
    P-Served-User     sescase              Yes             [RFC5502]
    P-Served-User     regstate             Yes             [RFC5502]
    P-Served-User     orig-cdiv            No              [RFC8498]

9.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations in [RFC5502] apply.

   As the "orig-cdiv" parameter of the P-Served-User header field can be
   used to trigger applications when a call is diverted, it is important
   to ensure that the parameter has not been added to the SIP message by
   an unauthorized SIP entity.  Thus, the P-Served-User header field is
   to be used in a trusted environment, and proxies MUST NOT insert the
   header unless they have sufficient knowledge that the route set
   includes another trusted proxy.
