11.8. Call between UAs within the Group

In this scenario, Bob calls Alice who is also in the shared appearance group. Only one appearance number is used for this dialog. This example also shows the use of the 'exclusive' tag to indicate that other UAs in the group can not join or take this dialog.

11.9. Consultation Hold with Appearances

In this scenario, Bob has a call with Carol. Bob makes a consultation call to Alice by putting Carol on hold and calling Alice. Bob's UA chooses not to have an appearance number for the call to Alice since it is treating it as part of the call to Carol. He indicates this in the PUBLISH F32, which contains the 'shared' Event header field parameter but no <appearance> element. The PUBLISH is sent before the INVITE to Alice to ensure no appearance number is assigned by the Appearance Agent. Finally, Bob hangs up with Alice and resumes the call with Carol. Dialog notifications of the consultation call are not shown, as they are not used. Note that if Carol hangs up while Bob is consulting with Alice, Bob can decide if he wants to reuse the appearance number used with Carol for the call with Alice. If not, Bob publishes the termination of the dialog with Carol and the Appearance Agent will re-allocate the appearance. If he wants to keep the appearance, Bob will publish the termination of the dialog with Carol and also publish the appearance with the dialog with Alice. This will result in Bob keeping the appearance number until he reports the dialog with Alice terminated. Note that the call flow would be similar if Bob called a music on hold server instead of Alice to implement a music on hold service as described in [RFC7088].

11.10. Joining or Bridging an Appearance

In this call flow, a call answered by Bob is joined by Alice or "bridged". The Join header field is used by Alice to request this bridging. If Bob did not support media mixing, Bob could obtain conferencing resources as described in [RFC4579].

11.11. Loss of Appearance during Allocation

Bob reserves an appearance with a PUBLISH, sends an INVITE to Carol, then becomes unreachable. When he fails to refresh his publication to the appearance agent, the Appearance Agent declares the dialog terminated and frees up the appearance using NOTIFYs F14 and F16. After retransmitting the NOTIFY to Bob (in not shown messages F17, F18, etc.), the subscription is terminated.

11.12. Appearance Seizure Contention Race Condition

Bob and Alice both try to reserve appearance 2 by publishing at the same time. The Appearance Agent allocates the appearance to Bob by sending a 200 OK and denies it to Alice by sending a 400 (Bad Request) response. After the NOTIFY F5, Alice learns that Bob is using appearance 2. Alice then attempts to reserve appearance 3 by publishing, which is then accepted.

11.13. Appearance Agent Subscription to UAs

In this scenario, the Appearance Agent does not have any way of knowing Bob's dialog state information, except through Bob. This could be because the Appearance Agent is not part of a B2BUA, or
Top   ToC   RFC7463 - Page 61
   perhaps Bob is remotely registering.  When Bob registers, the
   Appearance Agent receives a registration event package notification
   from the registrar.  The Appearance Agent then SUBSCRIBEs to Bob's
   dialog event state using Event:dialog in the SUBSCRIBE.  Whenever
   Bob's dialog state changes, Bob's UA sends a NOTIFY to the Appearance
   Agent which then notifies the other UAs in the group.

11.14. Appearance Pickup Race Condition Failure

In this scenario, Bob has an established dialog with Carol created using the call flows of Figure 1 or Figure 2. Bob then places Carol on hold. Alice receives a notification of this and renders this on Alice's UI. Alice attempts to pick up the call but Carol hangs up before the pickup can complete. Alice cancels the pickup attempt with the PUBLISH F48. Note that the call flow for a failed Join would be almost identical.

11.15. Appearance Seizure Incoming/Outgoing Contention Race Condition

Alice tries to seize appearance 2 at the same time appearance 2 is allocated to an incoming call. The Appearance Agent resolves the conflict by sending a 400 (Bad Request) to Alice. After the NOTIFY F6, Alice learns that the incoming call is using appearance 2. Alice republishes for appearance 3, which is accepted. Note that this example shows the INVITE being received before the NOTIFY from the Appearance Agent.

12. Security Considerations

Since multiple line appearance features are implemented using semantics provided by SIP [RFC3261], the SIP Event Package for Dialog State [RFC4235], and the SIP Event Framework [RFC6665] and [RFC3903], security considerations in these documents apply to this document as well.
Top   ToC   RFC7463 - Page 67
   To provide confidentiality, NOTIFY or PUBLISH message bodies that
   provide the dialog state information and the dialog identifiers MAY
   be encrypted end-to-end using the standard mechanisms such as S/MIME
   described in [RFC3261].  Alternatively, sending the NOTIFY and
   PUBLISH requests over TLS also provides confidentiality, although on
   a hop-by-hop basis.  All SUBSCRIBEs and PUBLISHes between the UAs and
   the Appearance Agent MUST be authenticated.  Without proper
   authentication and confidentiality, a third party could learn
   information about dialogs associated with a AOR and could try to use
   this information to hijack or manipulate those dialogs using SIP call
   control primitives.

   This feature relies on standard SIP call control primitives such as
   Replaces and Join.  Proper access controls on their use MUST be used
   so that only members of the shared appearance group can use these
   mechanisms.  All INVITEs with Replaces or Join header fields MUST
   only be accepted if the peer requesting dialog replacement or joining
   has been properly authenticated using a standard SIP mechanism (such
   as Digest or S/MIME), and authorized to request a replacement.
   Otherwise, a third party could disrupt or hijack existing dialogs in
   the shared appearance group.

   For an emergency call, a UA MUST NOT wait for a confirmed seizure of
   an appearance before sending an INVITE.  Waiting for confirmation
   could inadvertently delay or block the emergency call, which by its
   nature needs to be placed as expeditiously as possible.  Instead, a
   emergency call MUST proceed regardless of the status of the PUBLISH
   transaction.

13. IANA Considerations

This section registers the SIP Event header field parameter 'shared', the SIP Alert-Info header field parameter 'appearance', and the XML namespace extensions to the SIP Dialog Package.

13.1. SIP Event Header Field Parameter: shared

This document defines the 'shared' header field parameter in the Event header field in the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values" registry defined by [RFC3968]. Predefined Header Field Parameter Name Values Reference ---------------------------- ------------------ ---------- --------- Event shared No RFC 7463
Top   ToC   RFC7463 - Page 68

13.2. SIP Alert-Info Header Field Parameter: appearance

This document defines the 'appearance' parameter in the Alert-Info header in the "Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values" registry defined by [RFC3968]. Predefined Header Field Parameter Name Values Reference ---------------------- --------------- --------- --------- Alert-Info appearance No RFC 7463

13.3. URN Sub-Namespace Registration: sa-dialog-info

This section registers a new XML namespace per the procedures in [RFC3688]. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sa-dialog-info. Registrant Contact: IETF BLISS working group, <bliss@ietf.org>, Alan Johnston <alan.b.johnston@gmail.com> XML: BEGIN <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"/> <title>Shared Appearance Dialog Information Namespace</title> </head> <body> <h1>Namespace for Shared Appearance Dialog Information</h1> <h2>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sa-dialog-info</h2> <p>See <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7463.txt"> RFC 7463</a>.</p> </body> </html> END

13.4. XML Schema Registration

This section registers an XML schema per the procedures in [RFC3688].
Top   ToC   RFC7463 - Page 69
      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schesa:sa-dialog-info.

      Registrant Contact: IETF BLISS working group, <bliss@ietf.org>,

      The XML for this schema can be found in Section 6.
