1. Explanations.

2. The Service Descriptions from the Customer Point of view.
The purpose of this section is to provide a generic description for each of 
SPIRITS milestone services: Internet Call Waiting (ICW), Internet Caller-ID
Delivery;
(CNAME), and Internet Call Forwarding. We assume that:
 o.  The service subscriber has a single telephone line and a PC, which may
be, via modem, connected to an ISP, using the same telephone line.
 o. The user's PC is loaded with the service provider software, which
performs a number of functions, such subscription, "dynamic registration",
enables the users to provide his/her choice of service/disposition, etc.
 o. Incoming calls are "trapped" on the subscriber's terminating Local Area
Exchange Switch (LEC) that must implement the Termination Attempt Trigger
(TAT).
 o. Service Control Function (SCF), implemented as Service Control Point
(SCP), or Service Node (SN), or a combination of both SCP and SN; will grant
or reject the termination attempt, and play an announcement for the 
Subscriber' disposition towards incoming call.
We also assume that the SPIRITS services go though the following stages:
 + Service subscription/cancellation.
 + "Dynamic" service registration in order to eliminate:  1)
feature-interaction with traditional telephone services such as a standard
call waiting that allows switching between calling parties; 2) provide extra
security, for example providing the new IP address for each session and
verification of user's PIN.
+ Receiving incoming calls. The duration of the session may be defined by an
"Expiration" parameter, defined during the "dynamic" service registration.
+ "Dynamic" service cancellation. This may be done to avoid the interactions
between "standard" telephony and the Internet base services.
2.1 SPIRITS ICW Overview.
 While the specific implementation details my differ from vendor to vendor,
the main frame-work of the service must confirmed to the following phases.
1. Service Subscription. The service subscription may be implemented in
variety of ways including registration by telephone, registration by mailing
an appropriate application, and an registration via the Internet
Subscription page provided by the service provider.
2. Dynamic Registration. As the result of the service subscription, the
service subscriber will receive/download the appropriate software and
install it on his PC. If PIN number is used, the subscriber's PIN will be
installed in the local PC database. 
3. Session Initiation. The session initiation (see above)is required for two
main reasons: 1)to prevent feature interactions, and to provide the extra
level of security protection. It is strongly recommended to assign a new
user's IP address for each session, and to request a subscriber's
confirmation of his/her PIN. In addition, the subscriber may specify the
"expiration" time for the new session in the range of 0 to infinity.
4. Handling Incoming Calls. (The user's telephone line is connected to the
Internet).
++Call Notification. Normally, upon arrival an incoming call, the subscriber
will see a pop-up window on his PC and will need to provide his
disposition/choice on how to handle this call. As an alternative, the
subscriber may configure his software to send a pre-defined disposition
without a pop-up window. The generic subscriber's Choices are listed below.
 ++Accept Incoming call via the PSTN. This implies that the subscriber is
willing to terminate the Internet connection and receive the incoming call
over the telephone line. As switching can not be done immediately, and
depending on the specific implementation, the caller may hear an opening
announcement followed by the "ringing" tone.
++ Reject Incoming Call.
The subscriber choose to reject the incoming call. In this case he remains
connected to the Internet. The caller will hear the Rejection announcement.
++ Redirection the Incoming call to Voicemail.
In this scenario, the subscriber will remain connected to the Internet. One
suggested implementation is that SCF granted the Termination Attempt
permission to the LEC, and, the switch may use a call forwarding on busy to
relay the incoming call to Voicemail. The Caller may hear the opening
announcement (music for example), followed by the Specific Voicemail
announcement.
++Call Forwarding. To implement this feature, the subscriber should provide
in his/her disposition
a telephone number to which the incoming call will be transferred. The
subscriber remains connected to the Internet. The caller may here an opening
announcement, followed by a specific call forwarding announcement.
++ Accept Call by Voice over IP.
This very useful feature will allow the subscriber to answer the incoming
call via the Internet connection, without disconnecting from ISP. The
current SPIRITS architecture has no provisioning for this feature.
   2.2 The Internet Call Forwarding Service.
In this scenario, the service subscriber shall provide the telephone number
to transfer as his disposition on the incoming call notification.  This
service is actually a subset of the ICW service.
2.3 Internet Caller-ID.
 In this scenario the subscriber should be able to see both the caller
number and his name. The difficulty arises from the limitation of TAT
trigger. The AIN does not allow to send the Caller CNAME as a parameter of
TAT. One possible implementation of this feature requires the use of
database. Thus the SSP will send a message to the SCF to provide the
Caller's CNAME and store it locally. The subscriber software will send a
request to deliver the CNAME to the user's PC.

3. SPITIS Interfaces.  
   The SPIRITS architecture and interfaces are
   Depicted in Figure 1 of the Appendix. The following is the list of
architectural components:
    PSTN Domain
1. SSP(subscriber termination LEC office)that implements the TAT trigger.
2. The SCF will typically resides on SCP. It services a dual purpose: 1)to
control the switch via SS7 interface; and to control the Internet core
elements of the architecture via interfaces D and E.
  IN Domain
3. Spirits Client. This element is responsible for receiving PSTN request,
as well as sending responses back to SCF.
4. The Internet Core consisting of two collocated elements: PINT Server and
SPIRITS-Proxy. The PINT Server receives the PINT-like commands from the PINT
Client and send them to PSTN for execution via E-interface. The SPIRITS
Proxy, that relays the SPRITS request, generated within PSTN to SPRITS
Server.
5. PINT Server. This element resides on the subscriber's PC and used for
generation PINT like request.
6. SPIRITS Server. This element terminates PSTN requests, provides incoming
call notifications, and sends the subscriber choice/disposition back to the
SPIRITS Proxy.
 The rest of this section describes each required interface in more details.

3.1 Interface "A".
This interface is used for sending unsolicited PINT request to PINT Server.
The principal use of this interface is to "dynamically" register the
subscriber (see section 2). As a result of this registration, a)the user's
PIN (if used) is verified; b)the user's PC gets a unique IN address which is
valid for the duration of the session as define by the user; c)the receiving
of incoming calls is enabled.
 In addition this interface may be used for service subscription.
 
  3.2 Interface "B"
This interface is used to notify the subscriber about incoming calls via
pop-up window on the subscriber's PC. In addition, the relevant information
such as Calling number and CNAME will be displayed on the PC.
In the opposite direction, the subscriber choice/disposition is send down to
the SPRITS Proxy.
 
3.3 Interface  "C"
 This interface is used to communicate information
from SPIRITS Client to SPIRITS Proxy and vice versa. The SPIRITS Proxy may
communicate with the SPRITS SERVER, or it may act as a virtual server,
without sending the messages down to the SPIRITS Sever.

3.4 Interface "D".
This interface is used to communicate information between SPIRITS Client and
SCF. In the direction from SCF to SPIRITS Client. Specifically, the
parameters detected in TAT trigger are sent to the SPIRITS Client. The  most
important  for  the  ICW  service  are  "Call ID" (a mandatory parameters,
which specifies the PSTN CALL),  and  "Alerting Pattern" (an  optional
parameter  specifying  how to "ring" the end user).  Thus for ICW, it may be
desirable to 
 use the PC for "ringing" rather than applying the ringing tone to its line,
in order not to interface with standard telephony services such as Voice
Call  Waiting.    
In the direction from SPIRITS Client to SCF, the service subscriber
choices/Disposition are sent. The SCF "transform" the user's disposition
into an appropriate actions, such plying appropriate announcement to the
Caller; resuming the suspended call processing in the SSP, etc.

3.5 Interface "E"
This interface is provided to send PINT request to SCF for execution.

Lev, Jim, I do agree that interfaces D and E might be important for a
comprehensive architectural picture. I would, however, separate all
interfaces into two groups: Essential Interfaces (A, B, C) and NonEssential
(D, E) Sound like a compromise?

Again, in opinion one of the advantages of having SPIRITS Proxy in the
architecture  - it provides a better scalability.

Sorry to interrupt this discussion thread, but SoftSwitch is completely
outside of our Charter. It would be an interesting thread, though!

Can we use more general term IP Host, or Internet Appliance. After all,
Subscriber's PC represents only certain SPIRITS scenarios.

                        Alec,
Hi. I hope you and yours are in good shape.
As to you suggestions, I like both of them and will make corresponding
changes.
            Regards, Lev.

I am jibing. With a few editorial changes (like PINT-SIP is of course
PINT-SPIRITS, Subscriber PC changed to IP Host, and Internet Core changed IP
Network), we are encorporating this figure in the requirements draft.

Let us keep the picture unchanged for the moment.

Dear Team,

During our meeting in Adelaide some participants responded to our call for
Requirements RFC volunteers.
So far, those who responded were REALLY quiet.
It is, definitely, time to speak up.

Regards,
Alec

P.S. Please have a safe and happy Fourth of July! (Those of us who celebrate it.)

Hi Alec,

> Sorry to interrupt this discussion thread, but SoftSwitch is 
> completely outside of our Charter. It would be an 
> interesting thread, though!
Mmmmm, OK, how about, 'a thing' that can handle calls, has 
a call model, may know about points in call and may also 
have a detection point 'like' mechanism. i.e. those things 
we probably need to have in the PSTN domain in order to 
initiate services in the Internet domain.

One could maybe consider one variant of this 'thing' to be 
clever Switch (maybe even, in name, with very soft 'Soft' 
before it) then I guess it would loosely fall into the 
PSTN part of the term PSTN/IN.

The point I was trying to make was to just raise awareness 
that the interface discussions of the groups - PINT/SPIRITS 
WGs and the ISC Application group; seem IMHO in large part 
to be looking at much the same thing. 

An issue to consider is whether to follow the PINT 
paradigm i.e. there is an Executive System in the PSTN 
and we don't care what it is - a clever switch, IN or a 
person with a cup of coffee sitting at a switchboard - 
they are expected to do what is requested of them by the 
initiating entity in the Internet domain. If we were to 
follow this paradigm in the SPIRITS case there would 
exist an Initiative System in the PSTN, but again we don't 
need to know, or care, what it is. We would only be
interested in 'how' it talks to the Internet domain and 
'what' it may communicate (the protocol), anything else 
is quite probably pants.

Kind regards,

Jim Buller

p.s. Happy Independence day to any Americans out there 
and (humour :) Happy Thanksgiving to any Brits.

Igor and Lev

I am having a little difficulty in reading your emails due to the fact that my
email system has scrambled your diagrams (removal of spaces etc).  As a piece of
abstract art the diagrams demonstrates an interesting use of lines and text but
lacks a little colour however, as a network architecture diagram this scattered
approach is useless!  Please could you provide the diagrams in a more user
friendly form (e.g. an attachment to the email so that the email system cannot
change it).

Regards

Jane Humphrey

Jane,

That might be a quite persistent problem (or feature, if you wish) of this exploder.
To prevent long attachments to bog down the network it is being configured to
disallow them.
BTW, I-Ds have to have pictures in ASCII as well. As much as I would like to see
something more expressive, it looks that we will have to stick with "interesting use
of lines and text".
We have the following choices:
1. Ask Igor and Lev to forward you something more descriptive (PostScript is
approved to use for pictures to accompany I-Ds)
2. Ask Tom Limoncelli, our Admin., for any ideas regarding attachments on this list.

3. Try to work with your local mail server administrator.
4. If #3 does not work, sign for any free mail address, @yahoo, @hotbot, etc. and
read SPIRITS mail there.
5. Access SPIRITS messages from our archive.

Hope this helps,
Alec

I agree with Jeremy, from an IETF SPIRITS viewpoint could PSTN be
substituted with ANY other voice handling "thing". This would only affect
interface D, which is an implementation issue of one of the interfaces of
the SPIRITS client.

I agree with the PINT-SPIRITS architecture as finally presented by  Lev
(good job!).

My only comment is that all references to Intelligent Network in his email
are based on AIN, while in Europe we use ETSI Core INAP CS1. Although the
comments made in regards to AIN also apply to CS1, I think that a reference
to CS1 terminology would help people in Europe to have a better
understanding.

The differences are:

1) TAT (Terminating Attempt Trigger) is known as Terminating Attempt
Authorised (DP12) in CS1.
2) In CS1, when a DP12 (TAT in AIN) is detected,  there is also no standard
field to send the CNAME in the InitialDP (sent from the SSP). However a
"standard" extension field could be used for this purpose.

Very good comment! We already had a conversation with Lev and decided to focus
on ITU-T INAP for precisely the same reasons that you outlined.

Jim, Jörgen,

If you are proposing to treat softswitch as 'ANY other voice handling
"thing"' - I totally agree. In that case we assume that SS has no special
functionality besides being PSTN element. We do not even have to name this
element SS. This is well within our Charter.
However, SPIRITS charter does not support any SS functionality that is
different from "plain" PSTN/IN element.

Regards,
Alec

Well, it is a switch that is a voice handling thing, but for the purposes of
PINT and SPIRITS we are dealing with the service control. So, of course one
needs to look at voice, and--for that matter--the soft switch, but those are
subjects of other IETF WGs, ITU-T, and other bodies.

Right. But note that this interface is to the service control.

Hello Alec, Igor

I must say, this is a most interesting thread :) but I am not 
sure if we're talking at crossed purposes here, or, there is 
an underlying difference of opinion?

> Well, it is a switch that is a voice handling thing, but for 
> the purposes of PINT and SPIRITS we are dealing with the 
> service control. 
Exactly! But surely in an abstract sense? With reference
to Jorge Gato's previous mail and Alec's mail agreeing 
there is a difference between implementation terminology 
in the US and Europe, if one doesn't abstract away from 
the working terms of the PSTN/IN domain it causes 
confusion. Agreeing to use any standard in the PSTN domain 
IMO doesn't help much.

So according to Alec's mail an agreement has been made to 
focus on ITU-T INAP in the PSTN/IN domain? Looks like the 
applicability of this interface protocol may be getting 
smaller and require mapping.

So do you think we should defining this or not? My personal 
opinion is that I don't believe we should be, thereby following 
the PINT paradigm. References to what happens prior to the edge 
of the SPIRITS client IMHO should be only in the most abstract 
sense e.g. X or Y happens in *very* ambiguous terms. 

Anything else and IMHO we'd just end up going round and round 
discussing PSTN/IN service control and not (to me, the more 
preferable case of) the protocol itself i.e. :

  Something happens in the PSTN/IN/whatever which results in 
  a need for 'something' to be done in the Internet domain.
  (not really interesting in its detail)

  A message is sent that conforms to the SPIRITS protocol.
  (interesting)

I don't know, according to the charter there was supposed to 
be a drafted protocol by the end of this month, but we're 
only just getting an architecture tied down, still discussing 
the boundaries of consideration and the basis (if any) of a 
protocol itself (to SIP or not to SIP :)

So, I'll be the first to make the jump into the dark water 
and accept that either of you or Steve, or all of you will 
slap my wrist for presumption with regard to the basis of 
the protocol. However, I hope it elicits some comments and 
starts some discussion. Igor, Alec, Steve, I accept we need 
a vote on a potential basis for this protocol, but please 
feel free to just consider the actions first and ignore the 
SIP references. 

Below is an initial stab at a list of things or classes of 
things I'd've expected to see in a SPIRITS protocol with 
reference to possible SIP implementation methods:

(Apologies if some of this seems pointless or doesn't make 
sense, but I'm writing it off the top of my head)

Note! I do not distinguish in this list what exactly is in 
the PSTN. Neither do I specify what is in the Internet domain
it may be specialised server or even the subscribers own SIP 
phone.

  1) Registrations/Deregistrations of an Internet entity 
     to the PSTN entity (getting trusted entities 'known' 
     to the PSTN entity) SIP REGISTER - Not sure if the 
     reverse case is also required, it depends who you 
     think should be the controlling entity in the 
     SPIRITS case. Maybe this mechanism could be added to 
     the PINT side of the equation if required. It's a 
     point for further discussion.

  2) Registration of available services in the Internet 
     domain - SIP REGISTER again the same point as above
     about a reverse mechanism perhaps in PINT also 
     applies here.

  3) Tranferring control to an Internet Entity - SIP INVITE.

  4) Tear down a call which has (as in 3) Internet domain 
     involvement (returning control to the PSTN entity) 
     - SIP BYE.

  5) Continue call. The Internet entity has finished doing 
     whatever it was doing and returns control back to the 
     PSTN entity - SIP BYE to terminate involvement - the 
     PSTN entity may continue processing the call. 
     Alternatively, SIP TRANSFER to maintain a monitoring 
     relationship.

  6) Request/add a VoIP call leg - SIP INVITE

  7) Delete a VoIP call leg - SIP BYE

  8) Connect 2 or more call legs - SIP INVITE 
     
  9) Transfer call leg - use of SIP Redirction/ Proxy 
     mechanisms or TRANSFER method or BYE/ALSO method.

 10) Hold/resume VoIP call leg SIP INVITE(c=0.0.0.0) 
     then reINVITE.

 11) Event Notification - PINT like S[]bscribe/Notify 
     or SIP INFO method.

 12) Output tones/announcements - SIP 183 Session 
     Progress or INVITE to some IVR box. 

 13) Digit collection SIP INVITE to a device or SIP 
     INFO (depends on where collection entity is 
     considered to be).

 14) Setting service data in the Internet domain from 
     the PSTN - SIP INVITE or REGISTER.

 15) DP activation notification to Internet entity.
     SIP INFO or part of PINT like S[]BSCRIBE/NOTIFY.
     This would just be a generic mechanism for all
     such notifications. The service logic should 
     decide what to do with it/ if its relevant. 
     Otherwise, if you need to specify a message 
     format for each DP and thereby you 1) tie 
     yourself to a particular mechanism/terminology, 
     and, 2) Place more explicit handling requirements 
     on either end of the interface.

There are others, and I haven't even covered the extended 
PINT possibilities for doing things like setting DPs changing
PICs etc, but I'm guessing this list is probably contentious 
enough for starters.

Please feel free to ignore, add or discard any of the above 
list or indeed this entire email. I'm just trying fire-up a 
more detailed discussion.

I don't know, maybe in the long run this group will end 
up producing a list of Informational RFCs defining how 
these mechanisms can be used to do what this group is 
trying to do, time will tell.

Kind regards,

Jim Buller

Jim, according to our charter:
"...[SPIRITS] services supported by IP network entities can be started
from IN (Intelligent Network) requests, as well as the protocol
arrangements through which PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) can
request actions to be carried out in the IP network in response to
events (IN Triggers) occurring within the PSTN/IN. ...Definition of any
information or data within the PSTN is the responsibility of the ITU-T
and so is out of scope for SPIRITS."
That is why we deal with ITU-T INAP. To date an official liaison from
SPIRITS to ITU-T SG11 was established (Hui-Lan Lu). I am copying Hui-Lan
on this message. She might be able to shed more light on SPIRITS-SG11
relations.

We just need to start with the Requirements and then select Protocol,
whether it will be SIP or not.

These are good ideas. Jim, could you convert these thought into an I-D
and publish it before 7/14?

No, no--in the most direct sense. Please see the charter. We have already spent
enough time discussing that in two BOFs and the previous meeting, so I am afraid
I have nothing to add. I think we ought to move with the real work (to which
Jeremy has good proposals in his message) in support of the charter, and this is
what I am doing right now. Any conversation about IP telephony or soft switches
on this list will take away from the focussed, productive work.

Jorge made a very specific statement, which, in my opinion, is in full agreement
with the decision that has been made in SPIRITS. The only international standard
on IN is the ITU-T standard. It has already taken care of the regional
differences. But, incidentally, in the requirements we are working on, we are
referring to the IMT 2000 call model so as to capture WIN, too.

Not only the agreement has been made, but SPIRITS has started to work with ITU-T
on that; we have a liaison both ways. I don't know about the "applicability
getting smaller," but the only way to find that out is to examine this
applicability. I so far have not seen a single indication that would show that
INAP information is insufficient.

On this point, I completely agree with Jeremy: we should not define this
interface. We are making this statement in the requirements.

I can see that all implementations have ALREADY been using SIP, so the issue of
selecting a protocol is moot as far as I am concerned. But the job right now is
to get the architecture and requirements, and that is what we are doing, and
this is how this thread was initiated.

Ah, it is very kind of Jeremy to associate my name with those of the esteemed
chairmen, but I am not one of them so it is really Steve and Alec who should
respond. As far as I know there is no vote in the IETF... But I think the moment
the requirements are ready, and we agree with them, the choice of the protocol
will be natural.

Yes, we have already captured that in the requirements (naturally, without
mentioning SIP--we ought to play by the rules). This, incidentally, is a PINT
X.0 service.

An interesting issue--we ought to discuss that on line and, possibly, at the
meeting. I never thought about that.

>

Well, here Jeremy is a bit too blunt about SIP again... But then is INVITE
really a transfer of control?

I am more and more disagreing with "control." I think the situation is more
complex than either PSTN or Internet having "control" totally. It is more of
cooperation, in every single scenario. Look at ICW. While the end-user is making
decision on the disposition of the call, the PSTN is actively involved in
maintaining the call: the announcements are played to the calling party, SCP
sends REFRESH messages to the switch to reset timers. While I perfectly
subecribe to the notion that all these are to be invisible to the IP side, they
are quite visible to the engineers who must make the thing work.

Ditto.

Those features have been proposed as PINT building blocks; by themselves, they
are not notification, which are supposed to be bread and butter of SPIRITS.

These two I am not sure about. The way we should define these features, in my
opinion, is so that the same protocol will apply to IN (where SCP and
Intelligent Peripheral do the job) and the VoIP scenario described above. I
asked a similar question at the last meeting (because , and Steve said we may
not concentrate on IP telephony specifically in SPIRITS.

This is precisely what we have been tackling. I wish you joined us on this I-D,
but we really ought to send it to the IETF now. I hope you will join us for the
next issue--as always you have much to contribute.

No, it is not contentious. It is interesting and useful, although a bit too...
blunt.  We will have an interesting discussion at the SPIRITS meeting! And I
hope you will place all the PINT-related proposals in an I-D to PINT--there you
can speak about SIP!

I for one thing cannot ignore it--if I did, that would amound to admitting my
own ignorance! There are too many good thoughts and useful and relevant
suggestions.

(Really, this concerns building blocks and Archies)
Hi folks,
  I think that "Jim's list" and Igor's comments are not mutually exclusive.

Whilst one might argue about using SIP or Some Other Protocol as the
"carrier" of state information between entities, the *intent* of an
invocation is what Jim's talking about, whilst Igor has been focusing
on is the information available in the Initiative System (*great* name!)
that in turn defines what information can be passed from the SPIRITS
client to the SPIRITS server as parameters of the invocation.
These don't really conflict, they're either end of the same pipe.

Re. Igor's suggestion that some of the building blocks should be put
into a PINT I-D whilst (as Alec suggests) the others should be put into
a SPIRITS I-D::
Hmm...we could do that, of course. As long as they are classified as
PINT ("invocation down") or SPIRITS ("invocation up") then the list
seems to be useful to *both* WGs, so instead I suggest that we keep
the two sets in one document, if that's OK.

Re. The disparate architecture diagrams:
A lot of Jim's comments on the PINT/SPIRITS architecture have been that
SPIRITS is a mirror image of PINT, from an architectural perspective.
The diagrams in his latest I-D show exactly how much they are reflections
of one another. The picture that we've seen from the SPIRITS architecture
draft seems to be more specific; I suggest that the SPIRITS/PINT diagram
that Jim produced is merely an abstraction of this (albeit rotated by 90
degrees :). Can't this be incorporated into the SPIRITS architecture draft
- and if not, then why not?

Am I being "brushed by a bus" again? Comments welcome.
-- 
All the best, Lawrence

Totally agree! Aside from using/not using SIP, (actually Jim and Igor agreed
even on that) both of them are focusing on the same invocation process.

Hi all,

You have very interesting subject for me. I am beginner in PSTN/IN - IP
interworking and I am missing some of basic knowledge of it.  Could you
provide me a reference for introduction?

Regards and thanks,

The best place to start would be the PINT pages at:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/pint-charter.html
and
http://www.bell-labs.com/mailing-lists/pint/

As well as SPIRITS page at:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/spirits-charter.html

You will be able to get to the mailing lists and archives of PINT and
SPIRITS from there.

Glad to help,
Alec

P.S. Other IETF WGs like SIGTRAN, MEGACO, SIP, IPTEL, ENUM might be of
interest too. Look for them at:

Annex D to Rec. T.38 specifies SIP/SDP as an optional call establishment
metho, T.38. being the Group 3 fax over IP protocol.  Support for UDP is
mandatory (MUST) in T.38, so it is therefore logically a requirement for SDP.

Hi,

Here is a draft showing our ideas of how it is possible to realize a SPIRITS
solution. Note that it might go a few steps in advance, since a forma
protocol decision has not been made yet, but I think it reflects how some of
the pre-spirits implementations were built.

I have submitted it to internet-drafts@ietf.org, but it might take a while
until it is available.

I think it was not allowed to have attachments to this list, so it I paste
it into the mail below.

Thanks
/Jörgen

          A SPIRITS solution based on virtual SIP user agents


STATUS OF THIS MEMO


   This document is an Internet-Draft and is in full conformance with
   all provisions of Section 10 of RFC2026 [1].

   Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
   Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that
   other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-
   Drafts.

   Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
   months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents
   at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet- Drafts as
   reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

   The list of current Internet-Drafts can be accessed at

Abstract

   This document discusses events occurring in a telephony network that
   could be useful for call related services created in an Internet
   environment. It also shows one possible implementation of a SPIRITS
   protocol based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [2]. The SPIRITS
   working group has not yet done any protocol decisions, so this draft
   is written for informative purpose showing that the introduction of
   virtual SIP user agents (SIP UAs) in a SPIRITS client makes it
   possible to realize the services described in the pre-spirits
   implementations document [3].

   The advantage of introducing SIP UAs in the SPIRITS client is that a
   SPIRITS proxy and a SPIRITS server then also could be used by any
   other voice network that natively speaks SIP, for example wireless
   3G networks and voice over IP networks. This would also allow the
   PSTN network to utilize the services created for those networks.

   The document is not focused on how these services are subscribed for
   within the telephony network, since there is several appropriate
   methods to do this from an end users perspective, from calling the
   customer service to submit a web form. The action taken after this
   subscription is dependent of the voice network attached to the

   SPIRITS client. This document has the focus on the Internet specific
   parts of the protocol, which should be voice network independent.

2. Introduction

   This document describes a solution to the problem where an event in
   a telephony network needs to trigger a service that will operate on
   a particular data within the telephony network associated with the
   event. The solution described makes it possible to distribute this
   service logic out from the telephony network to a host on an IP
   network, or in fact also to a host on the Internet.

   The solution is coherent with the architecture developed within the
   SPIRITS working group and proposes a solution based on SIP (Session
   Initiation Protocol) [2]. There are two reasons to use SIP as a
   foundation for the SPIRITS protocol: By using SIP will it be
   possible for SIP speaking voice networks to utilize the SPIRITS
   services; SIP is designed for Internet use with respect to scaling
   and security and contains necessary placeholders for information
   related to voice calls.

   The solution described fits in to the SPIRITS architecture defined
   by the SPIRITS working group shown in Figure 1. The interfaces
   defined with this solution are B and C. The interface D is not
   described in this document, since it is dependent on the signaling
   protocols used in the underlying network. The D interface only
   affects the SPIRITS client implementation according to this proposal
   and leaves the interfaces B and C unaffected.

   If one would like to use the already existing service protocols
   defined for PSTN to talk to IP based hosts, then these protocols can
   be tunneled as they are by using the protocols defined in the IETF
   SIGTRAN working group. Those protocols are however not designed for
   an Internet environment with respect to trust relations and
   transport conditions, so therefore could it be useful to map
   functionality from these protocols to something more Internet
   friendly. Another disadvantage with this method is that these
   protocols exist in different national flavors in different countries
   and even in some cases differs among the networks owned by a single
   operator. On the Internet exists no flavors of a standard, and it is
   important that a SPIRITS server could work together with several
   operators in different countries, without having to install special
   software to make it work. These problems are solved by a protocol
   mapping as described in this document.

   The basic idea with this proposal is to show that it is possible to
   create a solution which make the PSTN phones to appear as if they
   were SIP phones to the SPIRITS server. The motivation for this is
   that there will soon be a large number of innovative services that
   will be deployed for SIP networks. If a PSTN could behave as a SIP
   networks from a signaling point of view, it could easily make use of
   these services. Another rationale to use telephony services
   implemented in SIP is that SIP will be the signaling protocol used
   for the all IP 3G wireless networks.

   The functions provided by service protocols used in an IN
   environment in today's PSTN networks differs depending on which
   version and flavor of the IN protocol that is used. Instead of
   focusing on the particular functions and the naming of the functions
   within the different IN protocols, a set of general functions of
   interest for a SPIRITS service are defined and explained in the next
   section.

   The set of general functions is a subset of capabilities of the
   current IN protocols. They provide a balanced tradeoff between
   complexity and functionality. Having this signaling protocol
   agnostic view ensures that no PSTN specific behavior is built into
   the SPIRITS protocol, which is essential in order to make SPIRITS
   useful also for other voice networks than PSTN.


3. Telephony events that could trigger a SPIRITS server


   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [3]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000

   This section lists events occurring in a voice network that could
   trigger a request from the voice network to a SPIRITS server. It
   also outlines the information that is passed between the SPIRITS
   client and the SPIRITS server. Parameters and formats are subjects
   for a follow-up draft.

   The events are divided into three different categories: call
   origination, call termination and non-call related.

   C->S: denotes information passed from the SPIRITS Client to the
   SPIRITS server. S->C: denotes information passed in the opposite
   direction.

3.1 Call origination events

3.1.1 Event O1 (Call initiation)

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address,

   S->C:  response code, call identifier, [calling party address,
         called party address, dialed address]

   This event is triggered when a user has filled out a complete
   address (i.e. dialed a number) but before a route has been selected
   for the call.

   A normal response from the SPIRITS server carries the same parameter
   fields as the query but the SPIRITS server may have changed any data
   field(s) except 'call identifier'. The returned data is used for
   routing the call in the voice network.

   An alternative response may indicate to the SPIRITS client to
   complete the call as dialed or to reject the call.

   Services possible to create with this event are e.g. Call Barring,
   Speed Dialing, VPN services, Number Portability etc.

   This event maps to a SIP Invite request.


3.2 Call termination events

3.2.1 Event T1 (Call received)

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address,

   S->C:  response code, call identifier, [calling party address,
         called party address, dialed address]

   This event is triggered when a call is received at the switch
   servicing the callee, before the phone starts ringing.
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [4]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000

   The response from the SPIRITS server may indicate to the SPIRITS
   client to make the callee's phone ring, to redirect the call to
   another destination or to reject the call.

   Services possible to create with this event are: Conditional
   Redirection, Call Filtering, Internet Call Waiting, Internet Caller
   Identification, etc.

   This event maps to a SIP invite request.


3.3 Call progress informative events

3.3.1 Event I1 (Call failed)

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address, reason of failure

   S->C:

   This event is sent if a call for some reason failed to be set up.

   This event maps to a SIP 503 Service Unavailable response.


3.3.2 Event I2 (Callee busy)

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address

   S->C:--

   This event is sent if the called party is busy due to an ongoing
   phone call.

   This event maps to a SIP 486 Busy Here response.


3.3.3 Event I3  (Call rejected)

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address, reason of rejection

   S->C:--

   This event is sent if the called party rejects an incoming call for
   some reason.

   This event maps to a SIP 603 Decline response.

3.3.4 Event I4  (Call terminated)


   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [5]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000

   C->S:  call identifier, calling party address, called party address,
         dialed address

   S->C:--

   This event is sent if any of the calling parties terminates the call
   by hanging up.

   This event maps to a SIP Bye request.

3.4 Non call related events

3.4.1 Event N1 (User logged on)

   C->S:  user id

   S->C:  --

   This event is sent when a user logs on to his phone, i.e. turns on
   his cell phone.

   This information is useful for intelligent routing services.

   This event maps to a SIP Register request.

3.4.1 Event N2 (User logged off)

   C->S:  user id

   S->C:  --

   This event is sent when a user logs off from his phone, i.e. turns
   off his cell phone.

   This information is useful for intelligent routing services.

   This event maps to a SIP Register request.


   3.4.1 Event N3 (Position changed)

   C->S:  user id, spatial location

   S->C:  --

   This event is sent when a user updates his position in the network.
   His geographical coordinates for his current position are sent
   within the event.

   This information is useful for intelligent call routing services.

   Note. It is probably good to have the option to send this event
   slightly before an event that might have use of the information,
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [6]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000
   instead of constantly sending these messages when an user is moving
   around.

   This event maps to a SIP Register request.




4. Architecture

   Since telephony calls usually involves two ore more parties is it
   proposed that the SPIRITS client actually consists of two logical
   entities representing the calling and called party. These entities
   could be viewed as virtual phones, or virtual users.

   Those entities are called user agents (UA) throughout this document.
   The user agent representing the calling party is named user agent A
   (UAA), and the UA representing the called party is named user agent
   B (UAB). Depending on if the SPIRITS client is residing in the
   originating end of the network or terminating end of the network are
   these named originating or terminating user agents (OUA, TUA).

   The idea is that when a call is to be set up from a user subscribing
   to a SPIRITS service is a UAA corresponding to the calling party
   created within the SPIRITS client. At the same time is a UAB set up
   to represent the called party. An event is sent from the UAA to the
   SPIRITS proxy, which could modify the call setup information before
   it is sent to the UAB. The SPIRITS proxy will then remain within the
   signaling path between the UAA and the UAB throughout the call to
   receive call related events.

   The advantage with this setup is that the UAA and UAB don't have to
   reside within the same SPIRITS client for the services residing in
   the SPIRITS proxy to work. The same SPIRITS proxy could then serve
   voice networks of a more distributed nature.

   Some services, for example Internet Call Waiting, requires some end
   user interaction. In this case will the SPIRITS proxy forward the
   incoming event to the SPIRITS server for user notification. If a
   response is not received from this server within a certain amount of
   time could the proxy process the message according to some pre-
   defined logic.

   The most complex scenario is when a user who has an originating
   SPIRITS service is calling a user who has a terminating SPIRITS
   service. In this case will the call informative events pass flow
   through two SPIRITS servers as shown in Figure 2.

5. Transport protocol

   This document proposes to use SIP as a transport protocol for the
   SPIRITS messages. One reason for this is that it designed to work in
   an environment consisting of the entities described in the SPIRTIS
   architecture. As the next section will show could SIP be used as it
   is without any new extensions to be able to create the services
   described in the pre-SPIRITS implementations document [3].

   Instead needs the behavior it the entities be specified, and the
   encoding of the necessary information to be transported from the
   SPIRITS client to the SPIRITS proxy and servers.

6. System components

   This section gives a description of the components necessary to
   create a SPIRITS service and their behavior.

6.1 Executive system

   This is the logic in the voice network responsible for setting up a
   call, in a PSTN network is this corresponding to a switch. The
   executive system is required to report all events occurring in the
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [8]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000
   telephony network necessary to create SPIRITS services to the
   SPIRITS client. The executive system has the knowledge that a user
   is subscribing to a SPIRITS service and is invoking a SPIRITS client
   for all inbound and outbound calls for this user.

6.2 SPIRITS Client

   The SPIRITS client is the bridge between the voice network's service
   function and the SPIRITS services created in an IP environment. The
   SPIRITS client have a default behavior on inbound calls that
   triggers it to send out requests to a SPIRITS proxy on the IP
   network. Its handling of the call is determined from the responses
   of these requests. Therefore is there no need for the SPIRITS client
   to have any knowledge of the service executed in the IP network.

   The SPIRITS client could be viewed of having two sides, one inbound
   side and one outbound. An inbound call to a user having a SPIRITS
   service is associated with the inbound side of the client and that
   UA, the UAA. Depending of the type of service could the SPIRITS
   client stay involved in the signaling path for the rest of the call.
   In this case is an outbound UA, UAB, associated with the connected
   address.

   In the case of a service that wants to stay within the signaling
   path is the invite message forwarded to the UAB, with a request URI
   containing the number to connect the inbound call leg with. The
   address of UAB is carried in the route: header of the initial Invite
   request.

6.2.1 SPIRITS Client UA Outbound Requests

   The UAA sends a SIP Invite to the SPIRITS proxy. The request URI
   contains the dialed inbound number, the from: field the calling
   party's number and the to: field the originally dialed number. The
   to: field could differ from the request URI if any redirection had
   occurred in the voice network. The UAA also inserts a route: header
   indicating the address of the UAB associated with this call.

   The UAA or UAB sends a BYE request when an active call associated to
   the client is terminated to the proxy.

6.2.2 SPIRITS Client UA Inbound Requests

   When a SIP Invite is received by the UAB makes the SPIRITS client
   the executive system to create an outbound call leg to the telephone
   number in the request URI. The progress of setting up this call leg
   is reported back to the SPIRITS proxy with appropriate provisional
   responses. When the called party on this leg answers the phone is a
   200 OK sent back through the proxy to the UAA. If the Invite
   contained a record-route header would all further requests be sent
   according to these routes. By this could a SPIRITS proxy ask to
   receive the BYE message sent when the call is terminated.


   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [9]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000
   If the Invite message contains a replaces: header would the SPIRITS
   client tear down any ongoing call leg towards the telephone number
   and call ID indicated in this header. The replaces header is
   introduced in the SIP Call Control Services draft [4].

   When a Bye request is received by any UA is the call leg associated
   with this UA terminated by a signal from the SPIRITS client to the
   executive system.

6.2.3 SPIRITS Client responses

   A number of different SIP responses could be received to the invite
   sent by the UAA. The action to these responses is described below.

   200 OK, indicates that the SPIRITS client should signal down to the
   executive system to connect inbound call leg with the call leg
   corresponding to the UAS. The SPIRITS client will stay associated
   with the call until it ends.

   302 Moved Temporarily, the SPIRITS client tells the executive system
   to redirect the incoming call to the telephone number in the
   contact: field of the response. The SPIRITS client is released from
   the call.

   404 Not found, indicates that the SPIRITS client should signal down
   to the executive system to connect the call to the telephone number
   of the inbound call. The SPIRITS client is released from the call.

   603 Decline, tell the executive system to reject the inbound call.
   The SPIRITS client is released from the call.

6.3 SPIRITS proxy

   The SPIRITS proxy is the entity that implements the SPIRITS
   services. The behavior is similar to a SIP redirect/proxy server
   since it performs some action based on the request URI of an
   incoming request and either responds back or forwards the invite to
   the next hop server. In the case of a SPIRITS proxy would the next
   hop server always be the UAB since the UAA always inserts a route
   header containing its address.

   If there is need for user interaction would the proxy know if a user
   is online by the register messages sent from the user to the proxy.
   In this case could a request be sent to the user before the incoming
   request is forwarded or responded to.


7. Call flows

   This section shows how the services described in the pre spirits
   implementations document could be realized according to the proposed
   solution. The target services according to the SPIRITS charter are:
   Internet Call Waiting, Internet Caller Identification and Internet
   Call Forwarding. The SPIRITS protocol should not be hard wired to
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [10]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000
   just fit these services, the protocol is a useful tool for people
   implementing services in a SPIRITS proxy or SPIRITS server.

   These examples show the involved message transactions. It needs to
   be defined how to encode the information to be transported within
   the messages.

7.1 Internet Call Waiting

   Internet Call Waiting (ICW) is an example of a terminating service
   which is executed when the call signaling is reaching the executive
   telephone system responsible for the called party. Since ICW is just
   involved during the call setup phase is there no need for the
   SPIRITS server to be involved in the signaling path after the call
   has been established.

   The following steps are invoked in the service execution.

   1. The inbound call setup signaling is received at the receiving
   executive system. This system associates the called number with a
   SPIRITS customer and invokes a SPIRITS client. This invocation is
   out of scope for this working group, and is dependent on the
   signaling mechanisms used in the voice network.

   2. The SPIRITS client creates an UAA and UAB which will be used to
   control the call setup in the voice network.

   3. The UAC send a SIP Invite message to the SPIRITS Proxy. If a user
   is online would he have sent a SIP Register to the SPIRITS proxy
   that contained the IP host he is running his ICW software on. In
   this case would the proxy forward the Invite message to the ICW
   client (SPIRITS server). If he were not registered with the SPIRITS
   proxy would the proxy respond with a 404 Not Found message to the
   UAA. This would cause the SPIRITS client to signal back to the
   executive system to continue the call setup with the dialed number.

   4. If the user were online would he receive an Invite message. This
   invite message contains the calling party's number in the from:
   field that could be used for caller identification. The ICW software
   (SPIRITS server) would show a window telling the user that there is
   an incoming call. He could then have the option to reject, accept or
   redirect the call to another number. In the case of rejection would
   the SPIRITS server return a 603 Decline response to the proxy. This
   would cause the proxy to respond with the same message to the UAA.
   If the call is accepted is the Invite forwarded to the UAA contained
   in the route: header. This invite will contain a replaces: header to
   indicate that the ongoing call should be terminated. The call ID for
   this ongoing were fetched by the SPIRITS proxy during the call setup
   of this ongoing call. In this case would the UAB cause the executive
   system to disconnect any connected voice calls for this user and
   after that connect the inbound call that was accepted. If the user
   whishes to redirect the call to any other answering place, for
   example a soft phone on his PC or a cell phone would a 302 Moved

   contact: field of the answer. This would cause the executive system
   to set up the inbound call to this telephone number.

   5. When a response is received at the UAA is action taken according
   to above. This would cause the call to be connected and make a phone
   to start ringing.

7.2 Internet Caller Identification

   The Internet Caller Identification (ICI) service is a somewhat
   simplified version of Internet Call Waiting. The message flow is the
   same as for that service, except that the UAC immediately connects
   the call. The Invite message sent out from the UAA would be received
   by the ICI software that a user have registered with the SPIRITS
   proxy. This message would cause a window to pop up which displays
   the name and number of the calling party. This information is
   fetched from the from: field of the Invite message.

7.3 Internet Call Authorization

   This is an example of a more advanced call barring service which is
   an originating service. The idea is that a user can set up rules
   which regulates which number that can be dialed or not. This set of
   rules is stored in the SPIRITS server. If a number is dialed that is
   blocked by the rule set could the SPIRITS server alert the user that
   this is the case, and ask for an authorization code. This would
   cause a software to pop up a window asking for the code. If the
   right code were entered would the call setup continue.

   The message flow for this service is as follows:

   1. All outbound calls for a user be detected by the executive
   system. The dialed number would be sent to the SPIRITS client that
   creates an UAA for this call.

   2. An Invite message is sent to the SPIRITS proxy. This proxy
   contains an access control list of the numbers that this user is
   allowed to call. If there is a granted number is a 200 OK sent back
   to the UAA. If it is a number that is not permitted to call is the
   action dependent of if the user is running his ICA application or
   not. If the user were not logged on would the proxy return a 603
   Decline to the UAA.

   3. If the user is logged on, i.e. have registered with the proxy is
   the Invite forwarded to the application. In normal SIP scenarios is
   the client authenticating himself for the server, i.e.
   authentication is necessary to send a request. In this scenario is
   the opposite necessary, authentication is necessary to send a
   response.  This could be done by inserting an WWW-authenticate
   header containing a challenge in the Invite message sent from the
   proxy. This would cause a window to pop up asking for an
   authorization code and also displaying the dialed from and to
   numbers. From this code is a response calculated and returned in a
   authentication header in a 200 OK response back to the proxy. The
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [12]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000
   proxy checks whether this was a valid authentication, and if it was
   the case forwards the Invite to the UAB to set up the call.
   Otherwise is a 603 Decline returned to the UAA.

7.4 Internet Call Distribution

   This is an example of how an automatic call distribution service
   could be built on top of the tools described in this document. A
   call distribution service is a service that selects a termination
   number depending on some built in logic, independent of the dialed
   number. The service is a terminating service. This service is also
   involved during the whole call setup and the call itself since it
   needs to know if a call was successfully set up and when a call
   ends. The steps involved during a call invoking such a service is
   described below.

   1. An inbound call is received by the executive system in the voice
   network. The executive system has the knowledge that this dialed
   number has an associated SPIRITS service.

   2. The executive system invokes the SPIRITS client and provides it
   with the called and calling party number.

   3. The SPIRITS client creates a UAA and UAB. The UAA is associated
   with in inbound call leg to the executive system. The UAB will be
   the entity responsible to create an outbound call leg from the
   executive system towards a recipient of the call. The recipient is
   of the call determined by the SPIRITS proxy according to some built
   in logic. These two user agents could be viewed as mirrors of the
   phones involved during the call.

   4. The UAA sends an Invite message to the SPIRITS proxy. The dialed
   number is inserted in a tel: URL in the request URI of the message.
   The proxy looks performs its logic based on the values of for
   example the request URI and the from: field. Based on this
   information is a new termination number determined which is inserted
   in the request URI of the invite message before it is forwarded.
   Since the SPIRITS client needs to get this information to the UAB,
   is a route header containing the address of the UAB inserted in the
   Invite message sent to the SPIRITS proxy. This will force the proxy
   to forward the Invite to the UAB. The proxy also inserts a record-
   route header in the Invite message before it is forwarded, to ensure
   that all further requests is sent through the proxy.

   5. The UAB receives the Invite message. The request URI contains the
   number to be called. The UAB uses this number and makes the
   executive system to contact this number. The executive system sends
   back status information to the SPIRITS client regarding the call
   setup progress. These messages are mapped to appropriate SIP
   provisional responses and are sent back from the UAB via the proxy
   to the UAA. If the call setup fails or takes too long time could the
   proxy send a Cancel to the UAB to terminate the call setup attempt,
   and send a new Invite to the UAB with a new number to try. By this
   could call forward on no answer be created.
   J.Bjorkner,S.Nyckelgard                                        [13]

   Internet Draft                        vsua                 July 2000

   6. When the executive system reports back to the SPIRITS client that
   the intended destination has been reached is a 200 OK sent back from
   the UAB through the proxy to the UAA. When this is received by the
   UAA will the SPIRITS client report down to the executive system that
   the call should be connected

   7. When the calling party hangs up will a BYE message be sent from
   either the UAs, through the proxy, to the other UA. This is useful
   if the service in the proxy needs this to free up some resources or
   create some statistics.
   From the view of the proxy is this call setup looking like any call
   setup between two SIP endpoints. This has the advantage that the
   same service proxy could be used for both a SIP network and a
   SPIRITS enabled telephony network. The SPIRITS client is performing
   basically the same task as a PINT server is doing. The PINT server
   is creating two call legs in the PSTN and ties them together. In
   this case we already have one of the legs, and creates another which
   then is tied together with the first one.

8. Security Considerations

   Since the transactions occurring between the SPIRITS client and
   SPIRITS proxy contain sensitive data is it recommended that hop-to-
   hop encryption or a secure transport layer be used for this
   communication. These mechanisms are described in section 13 of [2].

Jörgen,

I think you are right here. This I-D is just a bit early for the group. I like
it though!
At our meetings we are not supposed to talk about I-D's but SPIRITS issues.
It would be interesting to hear in Pittsburgh how and which SPIRITS requirements
led you to the protocol selection.
If WG decides that these are valid requirements we would have to add them to the
Requirements Document.

Regards,
Alec
P.S. Just a procedural note: It was really unnecessary to attach you I-D to the
list message. Publishing an I-D at internet-drafts@ietf.org should work just
fine. However, I understand that you did that to allow WG to see your I-D
faster.

Group,

There are several recent quite interesting I-Ds that just surfaced in
the IETF I-D archive. The links to them are listed below in no
particular order:

SPIRITS Architecture
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-slutsman-spirits-architecture-00.txt

IN- and PINT-related Requirements for SPIRITS Protocol
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-faynberg-spirits-inpintreqs-00.txt

A SPIRITS solution based on virtual SIP user agents
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-bjorkner-spirits-vsua-00.txt

A proposal for the provisioning of Call Completion Internet Busy using
PINT and SPIRITS
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-buller-spirits-ccib-00.txt

I am aware of other I-Ds being submitted prior to the deadline of 7/14
and can only guess that they will surface later.

Regards,

Hi all,

My apologize for meddling.
Could anyone explain me how related SPIRITS's I-Ds with each other?
Is *draft-slutsman-spirits-architecture-00* root of SPIRITS development?
Is *draft-ietf-spirits-protocol-00* the protocol baseline text?
If I am right, why the Figure 1 of its is incompatible?

Regards,
Marat Nourmiev

After reading the IN- and PINT-related Requirements for SPIRITS Protocol, I
have the following comments/questions.

In section 4 "IN Requirements", page 3, item 3, it is suggested to match
each event with a separate message that corresponds to it. I am not against
this proposal, but I do not understand why this is better than having one
message for all events. This looks like, in INAP CS2, the choice of sending
DP specific operations versus an EventReportBCSM with information about the
detected event (ITU-T accepts both, while ETSI only the latter). Can you
help me to understand it?.


In section 4 "IN Requirements", page 4, the requirement to "subscribe" to
an event from the SPIRITS client is defined as "C : SUBSCRIBE <Event>". I
think that more parameters could be useful to:

a) Determine if the EDP is going to be armed as EDP-R or EDP-N in the IN
environment. I understand that both methods to arm events can be applicable
to SPIRITS services.
b) Pass parameters associated to the EDP. For example a no answer timer can
be passed in to EDP o_No_Answer.

For example a "C : SUBSCRIBE <Event>, <Mode>, <DP specific params>" could
work.


Besides, I miss more protocol requirements between the SPIRITS client and
proxy. There is nothing about the signalling flow for the SPIRITS service
(only the event notification and registration parts are covered). For
example, how will the SPIRITS proxy send the SPIRITS server dispositions
about an incoming call to the SPIRITS client (so it is sent later to the
PSTN invoking network)?. I understand that these requirements can be
covered by existing protocols (e.g. SIP), but should not they be specified
as a requirement?. Maybe I do not understand properly the I-D ?.


Finally, in regards to the Methodology I fully agree on the work needed .
However, reading the version of ITU-T CS2 specifications that I have
available (I am not sure if they are the latest ones) the parameters
indicated are not right. For example, I do neither see "Alerting Pattern"
being part of TerminationAttemptAuthorized nor "DestinationRoutingAddress"
(while many parameters are missing). Can you double check ?.


I hope my comments are helpful.

I believe requirements (such as described in
draft-faynberg-spirits-inpintreqs-00.txt) will drive the development of
the  SPIRITS architecture and protocol.
draft-slutsman-spirits-architecture-00 is the first cut of the
architecture. After we agree on the requirements and architecture, the
protocol should emerge. Your observation about the discrepancy is
absolutely correct. The reason for it is that
draft-ietf-spirits-protocol-00 is an old draft published long before we
had our discussions on requirements. Based on our discussions in the
near future, we need to either update the draft or incorporate the
useful parts into the new protocol document.

Here is another interesting one:

I know that there is one submitted by Lawrence Conroy and Jim Buller. It will
surface soon.

To my understanding the DP Specific Operations work very slowly as the AIN
protocol has a very large message set.

ETSI support the alternative because it is flexible and extensible without
constantly re-inventing the message handling devices. Hence it may be optimised
to run faster with cheaper extensions.

What is a Semantic Overload of the Protocol Message? I would support that the
IETF uses a mechanism closer to the Event Report BCSM (generic Event
Notification) otherwise the SPIRITS Proxy and the SPIRITS Server message handler
will be very complex.

PSTN invoking network)?. I understand that these requirements can be
covered by existing protocols (e.g. SIP), but should not they be specif=

as a requirement?. Maybe I do not understand properly the I-D ?.


Finally, in regards to the Methodology I fully agree on the work needed=
 .
However, reading the version of ITU-T CS2 specifications that I have
available (I am not sure if they are the latest ones) the parameters
indicated are not right. For example, I do neither see "Alerting Patter=

being part of TerminationAttemptAuthorized nor "DestinationRoutingAddre=

(while many parameters are missing). Can you double check ?.


I hope my comments are helpful.

Oh no! If we discuss this any further, we will restart the 10 year old "US vs.
Europe" struggle in ITU-T.  I am sorry I (unintentionally) triggered it, so to
fix the situatio I am not commenting. (In ITU-T I would have been compelled

It is a situation in which a syntactic element (a name of a parameter or a
message) can have different values (belonging to different domains) depending on
the context. For example, a parameter called "spirits" could in one context have
a value from a set {beer, wine, vodka, gin}, and--in another context--a value
from a set {gremlin, ghost, poltergeist, spook}. As for the message as the
whole, overload shows its spooky head when it can have different sets of
parameters, again depending on the context.

I fully agree with Ray. I know my tongue will be cut out by the esteemed
chairmen for talking about SIP prematurely, but I think that the SIP/PINT
mechanism (possibly augmented) for S...BSCRIBE/NOTIFY is what ought to be used
for dynamic setting/notification of DPs, and INVITE for SPIRITS invocation on
triggers.

A good question and the right observation. Ray just responded to that, and I
agree with Jorge (and agreed with Ray) on having one message, as far as the
transport protocol is concerned. My idea was to ensure that we pick the ITU
standard parameters but avoild--by all means--choosing application context
options. It is obvious that the statement I wrote in the requirements caused
confusion and it will need to be rewritten.

I agree that the explicit requirement for arming DPs is necessary. We should
definitely add that to the requirements. But here are two fine points:

1) The requiement that the SCP DPs be dynamically armed from the IP side is
something that must be supported (because it can be standardized only by) ITU-T.
(I don't see much problem because this is where all implementations are going.) 
That is something that Hui-Lan should bring as the ISOC liaison to the next SG
11 meeting.

2) I understand that the  S..CRIBE/NOTIFY works now much like setting EDP-N.
Now, If a DP is set as an EDP-R, would it mean invocation of another service or
mere continuation of a previous one? (I don't know the answer. Let us think.)
After all, the SPIRITS proxy-to-server (i.e., SCP) relation is NOT the same as
that of the SSP-to-SCP. I don't see right now a need for EDP-R, but that does
not mean there is not any. Let us discuss.

Yes!

Absolutely, they should! Please add this material.

You do, and perfectly so! Just more work needs to be done, and your help is
sought.

That was just an example, but I strongly suspect I have  screwed something up
because I looked at one of my good old files instead of the final text of 
Q.1228. That will need to be corrected, of course.

Very helpful (and they demonstrate your top-notch expertise on the subject!). I
hope you are coming to the next IETF meeting so I can shake your hand in
Pittsburgh. On behalf of the authors' team, I am inviting you to co-author the
future version of this I-D.

With many thanks,

Igor

Abstract

    This  Internet Draft has  been written at the  request of one  of the
    SPIRITS Working Group co-chairs in order to elicit discussion on what
    extended functionality SPIRITS may be used to provide.

    It has been requested  that mapping  to any specific  protocol is not
    undertaken at this  juncture. As such,  only 'possible' functionality
    is identified and no mapping to existing protocol methods is given.

    This document is only intended to  provide a basis for discussion and
    would be expected to form one aspect of the requirements for SPIRITS.
    As such the terminology used is deliberately and (we hope) suitably
    ambiguous.


Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 1]

1.  Introduction

Requirements for an application-specific transport protocol can be
captured from three main aspects. These are:
*   The architecture in which it will operate,
*   The behaviour expected of the communicating entities and so the
     pattern of interaction they have,
*   The information exchanged that is germane to (or qualifies)
     behaviour engendered by the communication

This last aspect can be re-phrased as
*   The information that is available to the initiating entity that
     can be passed to the executive or recipient entity

Summarising these points as questions:
-   who communicates?
-   what are they to do?
-   what do they need to be told in order to do it?
or
-   what information is available at the sender to tell the recipient?

The architectural drafts submitted for the SPIRITS work have so far
concentrated on the first question and, in its second form, the last
question. Rather than focus on the sender of requests, this note
considers the kind of behaviours that the recipient of the request
might be asked to perform. Both approaches can be combined to qualify
the requirements that the protocol will need to cover; both the state
available at the sender AND the behaviours expected of the recipient
will have to be taken into account.

 From the charter (and the ICW service descriptions), the architecture
is one in which a PSTN-based system requests actions to be carried out
by an Internet-based entity. The PSTN-based system is further qualified
as one that maintains call state, and can carry out some internal actions
on a transition in this call state.

Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 2]

<draft-conroy-spirits-act-00.txt>                             July, 2000

The result of these internal actions is that a request for service is
constructed and sent to the Internet entity, and that this entity will
inform the requestor of either the result of this action, or (at least)
that this request has been received and is to be processed.

In other drafts, the information available in the PSTN at a given call
state is being considered. For example, this could be the data available
to an SCF on receiving a DP message from an SSF. In this case, if a
request for action in the Internet were to be generated as a result of
the SCF receiving the DP message, then there is a limit to the
information that could in turn be used to generate the request. This
gives a bound for the actions that might be expected of the Internet
entity; it reflects the statement that, if you can't tell it how to do
something because you don't have the information, then the recipient of
a request can't be expected to do it.

This note, however, lists the kind of "things that I want you to do".
There is also a companion note that lists the kind of things that could
be done in the PINT domain.

2.  Classification of actions

The functions that might be performed by a SPIRITS server in response to
request from a PSTN entity are classified in the next section into five
sets. This is only an initial view, and is put as a spur to discussion
only. The sets are:
*   Server/Service Registration
*   Request/Service Processing
*   VoIP Call Leg Manipulation
*   SPIRITS Service Monitoring
*   Special Resource Functions

3. SPIRITS functions

3.1.    Server and Service Registration

   1) Registrations/ Deregistrations of an Internet entity
      to the PSTN entity (getting trusted entities 'known'
      to the PSTN entity).

This registration asserts that the registrant is an entity in the SPIRITS
architecture. It is most likely to be used to identity a SPIRITS server
(i.e. it states that SPIRITS requests may be sent to this entity).

   2) Registration of available services in the Internet domain.

This registration asserts that this function can be carried out.
In practice, the ability to execute this function will be registered by
some entity. It seems sensible for the Registrar to assume that the
entity making this registration can execute the function, so this
registration serves a dual purpose; both to register this function as
one that can be performed, AND to register the entity as one that can
perform it.


Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 3]

<draft-conroy-spirits-act-00.txt>                             July, 2000

3.2 Request/Service Processing
   3) PSTN requests service handling by entity in Internet domain.

This is a request for an action to be performed - "please do <this>".
There are several "flavours" of what happens in response:

   4) Service Handling terminated by entity in Internet domain and
      handed back to entity in PSTN domain for resumption. Internet
      domain Service handler takes no further interest in service.

This variant states "please do <this> as part of my processing". This
implication is that the SPIRITS server is carrying out a sub-function
and can forget about it afterwards.

   5) Service handling passed back to entity in PSTN domain. However,
      an interest (perhaps implemented as some kind of monitoring
      function) is maintained by service handler in the Internet domain
      relating to 'this' instance of service.

This differs from the previous function in that the SPIRITS server is
informed on the disposition of the PSTN action of which it's processing
is a part. This could be used, for example, to allow post-service
synchronisation of state between the Internet and the PSTN.

3.3.  VoIP Call leg Manipulation

Whilst the PINT services can result in a PSTN-based service call, it
seems at least possible that SPIRITS services might result in a pure
"VoIP" call. This might be executed "behind" the SPIRITS server using,
for example, SIP third-party call control actions. The functions
described here, however, are the *service requests* to a SPIRITS server,
not the way in which that service is executed.

   6) Entity in the PSTN domain requests an initial VoIP call

This is a request for a VoIP call to be placed between two parties on
the Internet. It is, in effect, a "macro-function" in that it could be
constructed from two of these subsequent functions. It is likely to be
widely used, however, so it may be convenient to consider it as a single
command (i.e. one that can be carried out as a result of a single
request).

   7) Entity in the PSTN domain requests a VoIP call leg

This request asks that a VoIP call leg be extended to an entity in the
Internet.

An open question for the following functions is how call legs are
identified. If the call leg has been created in response to an earlier
SPIRITS service request, then the identity of the leg to be removed may
be able to use a reference to that earlier service request. The detail
of the way in which the call leg would be identified is for further
discussion, as this service may operate "in the context" of an earlier
service.

Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 4]

<draft-conroy-spirits-act-00.txt>                             July, 2000

It is unclear whether or not the "call control" call leg identity will
be known to the PSTN entity that made the earlier request, and so whether
or not this can be used somehow to refer to the leg(s) in question.

   8) Entity in the PSTN domain requests deletion of a VoIP call leg

This request asks that a previously created call leg that exists to an
entity in the Internet be removed.

   9) Entity in the PSTN domains requests a connection of 2 or more VoIP
      call legs

This requests that two or more call legs that have been previously
created should be joined to allow bi-directional media exchange.

  10) Entity in the PSTN domain requests a transfer of a VoIP call leg

This request asks that the existing association between a call leg and
another be dissolved, and that a new association with a different call
leg be created.

  11) Entity in PSTN domain requests a Hold/Resume for VoIP call leg

There are two request types here. In the first, this request asks that
a call leg that was in an existing association with another be suspended.
In the second, it asks that the association with another call leg that
was suspended be reinstated.

3.4.  SPIRITS Service Monitoring

These functions are the converse of the PINT Subscribe/Notify/Unsubscribe
mechanism.

  12) Event Notification requests sent from PSTN domain to Internet
      domain.

This is the converse of the PINT Subscribe request. It asks that a
monitoring session be instated so that the status of a SPIRITS service
(or events within that service) be reported to the PSTN entity.

  13) Event Notification responses sent from Internet domain to PSTN
      domain.

This is the converse of the PINT Notify message. It reports on the
status or events within a prior SPIRITS service, for which a monitoring
relationship with the PSTN entity exists.

  14) Event Notification session termination

This is the converse of the PINT Unsubscribe request. It is expected
that this request is symmetrical, in that it could be sent either from
the SPIRITS server to the PSTN entity that has an existing monitoring
relationship, or from that PSTN entity to the SPIRITS server to inform
it that the monitoring session is no longer required.

Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 5]

<draft-conroy-spirits-act-00.txt>                             July, 2000

3.5. Special Resource Functions

  15) The ability to request an entity in the Internet domain to Output
      tones or play announcements or messages.

This is the Internet equivalent of the I.N. System "play announcement"
command to an Intelligent Peripheral. It assumes that there is a
reference available at the SPIRITS server to the call leg to be
associated with the entity that is to make the announcement; this may be
passed from the PSTN entity if it is known from a prior service, or the
call leg may be implicit from a reference to a prior service that created
the call leg.

  16) The ability for an entity in the PSTN domain to collect
      information from the Internet domain.

This is the Internet equivalent of the "collect" command to an
Intelligent Peripheral. In the SPIRITS case, however, the application
is *much* wider.

For example, in the ICW service, the potential terminating user may be
asked whether or not they want to accept an incoming call. The way in
which they are asked could be via some instant messaging scheme; thus
this could cover not only collection of information from an existing call
leg within the Internet but also using some other scheme from the
potential B party (i.e. where a VoIP call leg has not yet been created).

  17) The ability to set service data and user data in the Internet domain
      from the PSTN domain.

This is a fairly wide building block. It can be used, for example, to
change the behaviour of Internet entities in response to future events
(the equivalent of the "set trigger" action within the PSTN), to change
registration/subscribed services state (the equivalent of the PSTN "set
service mark" action), to add or change some service related data stored
within the Internet. This last might be used, for example, to create an
association between an Internet address and a PSTN identifier such as a
PSTN address. The kind of detailed action that might be performed is
limited by the information available within the PSTN. Refining the scope
for this function is for future discussion.


4. Security

Security issues are for further discussion. This document is only
intended to provide the basis for such discussion. It is expected that
any action to be performed be executed only if the recipient of a request
is sure that the requestor has a right to make a request, and that the
server itself has a right to carry it out. Where "subsequent actions"
are to be carried out in the context of an earlier service, then there is
a further security implication that the entity requesting this further
service has the right to ask for a particular service context to be
manipulated (e.g. for a given service call leg to be changed).


Conroy, Buller                                                  [Page 6]

<draft-conroy-spirits-act-00.txt>                             July, 2000

Equally, where monitoring is to be provided, the privacy implications of
such actions on the person engaged in a call leg (and any others
associated with that call leg) must be considered.
