2 Mobility in (S)IP-enabled Environments Ubiquitous communication environment providing (ideally seamless, uninterrupted) end-to-end services Independent of user location, device(s), access networks, User Mobility Users can roam and communicate from wherever they are Receive and place calls Users may use different devices in different places Service Mobility Users can access the same service from different devices/locations Users may move a communication relationship across devices Device Mobility User devices may move across networks retain and/or re-establish communication services 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 3 IETF Conferencing Architecture Conference Control Audio Video Media Streaming Shared Apps Session Direct. SDP RSVP RTP / RTCP RTSP SAP HTTP SMTP UDP TCP / TLS / SCTP IP / IP Multicast + Mobile IP Integrated / Differentiated Services Forwarding 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 4

Media Streams 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 5 History of Mbone conference initiation Session Invitation Protocol (Handley/Schooler) Participant location Conference invitation Capability negotiation during setup Simple Conference Invitation Protocol (Schulzrinne) Participant location Conference invitation Capability negotiation during setup Changing conference parameters Terminate/leave conference 1996 Session Initiation Protocol 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 6

4 Session Initiation Protocol (, RFC 3261) Initiate, terminate, and modify sessions Multimedia(!) sessions (not just voice!) Point-to-point and multiparty Support for caller and callee authentication / call authorization privacy for call signaling and media streams media path with ensured QoS policy-based control mechanisms Flexible service creation end-to-end principle ( dumb network ) support through servers (located anywhere) Extensible protocol to cover new communication aspects such as for presence and instant messaging 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 7 Terminology User Agent Client (UAC): Endpoint, initiates transactions User Agent (UAS): Handles incoming requests User Agent Redirect server: Retrieves addresses for callee and returns them to caller Proxy (server): UAS/UAC that autonomously processes requests forward incoming messages (probably modified) Registrar: Stores explicitly registered user addresses Location : Provides information about a target user s location Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) Keeps call state; more powerful intervention than proxy 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 8

URIs may carry additional parameters sip: [ user [ : passwd ] host [ : port ] params [? headers ] params ::= ( ; name [ = value ] )* headers ::= field = value? [ & headers ] URIs may also identify services 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 12

7 URI Addressing Examples sip:tzi.org sip: Registration domain or IP address Userinfo + domain/host optional port number Service identifier; semantics opaque to the user Use URI scheme sips to request secure communications. 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 13 Application Scenario 1: Direct Call UA UA Internet Alice Bob Call signaling Media streams 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 14

12 Proxy Functionality Stateless vs. stateful Stateless: efficient and scalable call routing Stateful: service provision, firewall control,... Some roles for proxies Outbound proxy Perform address resolution and call routing for endpoints Pre-configured for endpoint (manually, DHCP,...) Backbone proxy Essentially call routing functionality Access proxy User authentication and authorization, accounting Hide network internals (topology, devices, users, etc.) Local IP telephony server (IP PBX) Service creation in general JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 23 Service Creation in Points of Service in Endpoints! s (proxies, redirect, location servers, ) Application s Back-to-Back User Agents May be located anywhere in the network, controlled by the service provider outside the network, controlled by third party providers at the user premises, controlled by the user and any combination of the above! May be combined in a flexible manner Administrative services and user services Focus on server-based services 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 24

13 Administrative Services User Authentication and Authorization Proxy communicates with back-end servers (e.g. via RADIUS) Proxy retrieves certificates from LDAP servers (PKI) Proxy checks user s permissions + credit + access / call rules Accounting Call-stateful proxies log call duration, produce Call Detail Records User Location Basic input from registration database (registrar) Use of presence information as additional cues Consideration of caller preferences Call handling per callee rules (e.g. CPL) Call Services Malicious call tracing Examples 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 25 User Services Examples Incoming call handling Based upon calling user, time of day, day of week, Based upon current presence status Answering Machine Redirect call to media server Call services Call redirection, call deflection,... Caller identity Anonymous calls Conferencing Scheduled and ad-hoc conferencing May be implemented in proxies or application servers Using naming and routing logic to route requests 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 26

14 Proxy-based Service Creation proxies have limited capabilities They only forward (modified) messages They cannot terminate calls They MUST NOT initiate requests on their own Impossible to enforce call termination via a proxy Impossible to modify call state and involved parties Concept to a Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) Terminates and originates calls (instead of proxying) Relates two or more dialogues at the application layer Calls need to be routed to / through proxy or B2BUA User-initiated to obtain a certain service Provider-enforced to retain a certain level of control Outbound proxies, access proxies, home proxies, 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 27 B2BUA Service Creation Example: Conferencing Provider 1 offers highly available conference booking services contracts with 2 5 Booking P1 Providers2 4offer conference bridges with different capabilities P2 P3 P4 Provider 5 offers IP Telephony Services gets value add from P1 but also contracts others P5 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 28

22 Service Routing Extensions in 3G P-CSCF and S-CSCF perform central functions for UAs Calls need to pass (at least) through both of them to ensure all services are available Configure P-CSCF as outbound proxy Address obtained during link layer initialization Record proxy chain to be traversed during registration extension for recording proxies to be traversed en-route Path: header Used together with loose source routing from S-CSCF to UA Learn about S-CSCF in REGISTER response extension for service routing Service-Route: header Used together with loose source routing (as defined in RFC 3261) 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 43 Some Security in 3G Basic Approach: closed network infrastructure Transitive trust (and secure communications) within the network Digest Authentication for registration Stateful network infrastructure Only registered users can place calls Ingress nodes (P-CSCFs) validate UA requests S-CSCF additionally check validity per request P-Asserted-Identity: header May contain network-generated (anonymized) identifier Privacy: header to select CLIP/CLIR User id may be removed per user request when leaving the network 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 44

25 Service Creation in 3GPP Standardized functional building blocks in the network services to be created on top of those Partially standardized services APIs for service providers for interfacing to Application s Service creation in the network closed environment potential for limited outside access BUT: No end-to-end signaling Header fields may be removed by P-CSCF New methods may not be passed through No / limited end user or third party innovation possible 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 49 Conclusion: and 3G 3G is partially built the old way the telephony way Breaks the (S)IP end-to-end model built-in limitation of innovation Enforces net-centric service creation built-in protection against newcomers Closed architectural model built-in gateways even to external devices (obvious economic motivations for the above) Many boxes, many lines, many interfaces High degree of complexity? (! KISS) 2002JörgOtt TZI Digitale Medien und Netze 50
