Charter

SPEERMINT working group

The charter of the SPEERMINT working group is reported below.
The term "VoIP Peering" has historically been used to describe inter-provider network interconnect and the delivery of voice calls over interconnection points. While voice calls are the primary motivation for this today, other forms of real-time communications are and will continue to evolve as natural additions to such peering. Therefore, the focus of this working group is best generalized to describe calls as sessions, and to note that that such communications are inherently real-time in nature.

The Session PEERing for Multimedia INTerconnect (SPEERMINT) working group focuses architectures to identify, signal, and route delay-sensitive (real-time) communication sessions. These sessions use the SIP signaling protocol to enable peering between two or more administrative domains over IP networks. Where these domains peer, or meet, the establishment of trust, security, and a resistance to abuse and attack are all important considerations.

Note that the term "peering" is used here to refer to the interconnection between application layer entities such as SIP servers, as opposed to interconnection at the IP network layer. However, in order to achieve real-time Session PEERing, both signaling and media flows must be taken into consideration. In addition, the working group recognizes that there will be use cases that require SPEERMINT to focus on the interaction between the application layer and lower network layers, or the dependence of specific application layer use cases on lower layers, so SPEERMINT will have to be prepared to solve these problems as they arise.

More specifically, SPEERMINT focuses on real-time session routing architectures and their associated use cases. Deliverables here include the specification of the various types of application flows, such as signaling and media flows, in such networks, and includes both trunking and peer-to-peer flows. In addition, SPEERMINT considers and documents requirements for the feedback of operational conditions (e.g., congestion control) that enables the application of dynamic policy and recognizes that various mechanisms for achieving this should be studied as a potential part of any architecture. In future, as its initial work completes and the requirements become known, SPEERMINT may seek rechartering to consider various mechanism to support applying Quality of Service and/or traffic engineering mechanisms in an architecturally sound way in support of real-time Session PEERing. A charter discussion would consider how to work with with mechanisms developed by other working groups, selecting and integrating those, but as stated, first the initial milestones must be completed.

The most focused deliverables of SPEERMINT are best current practices regarding exchange of real-time sessions among VoIP and other real-time application service providers and, in particular, how such calls are routed. SPEERMINT will recognize that some of these providers also control underlying access networks (facilities-based), while others do not (not facilities-based), and this fact may present various additional requirements or use cases for consideration. The working group will develop one or more use case documents to record the varieties of the practices, as well as use this recognition as a guide to maintaining the greatest possible separation of the application layer from lower layers.

The SPEERMINT work plan is related to and distinct from the work plans of the ENUM and SIPPING working groups. While the the ENUM Working Group is primarily concerned with the structure and lookup of data for the translation of E.164 numbers into URIs (RFC 3761), SPEERMINT is concerned with the use of the resulting URI data, as well as non-ENUM-derived URI data, for use in signaling and routing of real-time sessions. The SIPPING WG produced the original document in this area (RFC 3824). The future work in this area will be produced by SPEERMINT, but RFC 3427, the SIP change process will be followed as needed.

Presence & Instant Messaging Peering Use Cases
The document describes several use cases of peering of non-VoIP services between two or more Service Providers. These Service Providers create a peering relationship between themselves thus enabling their users to collaborate with users on the other Service Provider network. The target of the document is to drive requirements for peering between domains that provide the non-VoIP based collaboration services and presence and Instant Messaging (IM) in particular.

VoIP Peering: Background and Assumptions
This documents provides background for the work on VoIP peering and tries to provide guidance on what kind of work is needed to facilitate widespread SIP-based peering of telephony networks. It is intended to spur discussion on the work about peering and should also serve as input to the ongoing discussions on reducing Spam for Internet Telephony (SPIT).

A Minimalist Approach to Direct Peering
This document describes a concrete example of a peering convention for domains and federations of domain which use SIP for communications, especially in conjunction with E.164 addresses (telephone numbers). This convention makes use of direct SIP and media communication between the operator of the initiating and receiving administrative domains.

SPEERMINT Security BCPs
This memo presents the different security threats related to SPEERMINT classifying them into threats to the Location Function, to the Signaling Function and to the Media Function. The different instances of the threats are briefly introduced inside the classification. Finally the existing security solutions in SIP and RTP/RTCP are presented to describe the countermeasures currently available for such threats. The objective of this document is to identify and enumerate the SPEERMINT-specific threat vectors in order to specify security-related requirements. Once the requirements are identified, methods and solutions how to achieve such requirements can be selected.
