24 Examples

In the following examples, we often omit the message body and the corresponding Content-Length and Content-Type header fields for brevity.

24.1 Registration

Bob registers on start-up. The message flow is shown in Figure 9. Note that the authentication usually required for registration is not shown for simplicity. biloxi.com Bob's registrar softphone | | | REGISTER F1 | |<---------------| | 200 OK F2 | |--------------->| Figure 9: SIP Registration Example F1 REGISTER Bob -> Registrar REGISTER sip:registrar.biloxi.com SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP bobspc.biloxi.com:5060;branch=z9hG4bKnashds7 Max-Forwards: 70 To: Bob <sip:bob@biloxi.com> From: Bob <sip:bob@biloxi.com>;tag=456248 Call-ID: 843817637684230@998sdasdh09 CSeq: 1826 REGISTER Contact: <sip:bob@192.0.2.4> Expires: 7200 Content-Length: 0

   The registration expires after two hours.  The registrar responds
   with a 200 OK:

24.2 Session Setup

This example contains the full details of the example session setup in Section 4. The message flow is shown in Figure 1. Note that these flows show the minimum required set of header fields - some other header fields such as Allow and Supported would normally be present.

   The media session between Alice and Bob is now established.

   Bob hangs up first.  Note that Bob's SIP phone maintains its own CSeq
   numbering space, which, in this example, begins with 231.  Since Bob
   is making the request, the To and From URIs and tags have been
   swapped.

   messages.

25 Augmented BNF for the SIP Protocol

All of the mechanisms specified in this document are described in both prose and an augmented Backus-Naur Form (BNF) defined in RFC 2234 [10]. Section 6.1 of RFC 2234 defines a set of core rules that are used by this specification, and not repeated here. Implementers need to be familiar with the notation and content of RFC 2234 in order to understand this specification. Certain basic rules are in uppercase, such as SP, LWS, HTAB, CRLF, DIGIT, ALPHA, etc. Angle brackets are used within definitions to clarify the use of rule names. The use of square brackets is redundant syntactically. It is used as a semantic hint that the specific parameter is optional to use.

25.1 Basic Rules

The following rules are used throughout this specification to describe basic parsing constructs. The US-ASCII coded character set is defined by ANSI X3.4-1986. alphanum = ALPHA / DIGIT
Top   ToC   RFC3261 - Page 220
   Several rules are incorporated from RFC 2396 [5] but are updated to
   make them compliant with RFC 2234 [10].  These include:

      reserved    =  ";" / "/" / "?" / ":" / "@" / "&" / "=" / "+"
                     / "$" / ","
      unreserved  =  alphanum / mark
      mark        =  "-" / "_" / "." / "!" / "~" / "*" / "'"
                     / "(" / ")"
      escaped     =  "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG

   SIP header field values can be folded onto multiple lines if the
   continuation line begins with a space or horizontal tab.  All linear
   white space, including folding, has the same semantics as SP.  A
   recipient MAY replace any linear white space with a single SP before
   interpreting the field value or forwarding the message downstream.
   This is intended to behave exactly as HTTP/1.1 as described in RFC
   2616 [8].  The SWS construct is used when linear white space is
   optional, generally between tokens and separators.

      LWS  =  [CRLF] 1*WSP ; linear whitespace
      SWS  =  [LWS] ; sep whitespace

   To separate the header name from the rest of value, a colon is used,
   which, by the above rule, allows whitespace before, but no line
   break, and whitespace after, including a linebreak.  The HCOLON
   defines this construct.

      HCOLON  =  *( SP / HTAB ) ":" SWS

   The TEXT-UTF8 rule is only used for descriptive field contents and
   values that are not intended to be interpreted by the message parser.
   Words of *TEXT-UTF8 contain characters from the UTF-8 charset (RFC
   2279 [7]).  The TEXT-UTF8-TRIM rule is used for descriptive field
   contents that are n t quoted strings, where leading and trailing LWS
   is not meaningful.  In this regard, SIP differs from HTTP, which uses
   the ISO 8859-1 character set.

      TEXT-UTF8-TRIM  =  1*TEXT-UTF8char *(*LWS TEXT-UTF8char)
      TEXT-UTF8char   =  %x21-7E / UTF8-NONASCII
      UTF8-NONASCII   =  %xC0-DF 1UTF8-CONT
                      /  %xE0-EF 2UTF8-CONT
                      /  %xF0-F7 3UTF8-CONT
                      /  %xF8-Fb 4UTF8-CONT
                      /  %xFC-FD 5UTF8-CONT
      UTF8-CONT       =  %x80-BF
Top   ToC   RFC3261 - Page 221
   A CRLF is allowed in the definition of TEXT-UTF8-TRIM only as part of
   a header field continuation.  It is expected that the folding LWS
   will be replaced with a single SP before interpretation of the TEXT-
   UTF8-TRIM value.

   Hexadecimal numeric characters are used in several protocol elements.
   Some elements (authentication) force hex alphas to be lower case.

      LHEX  =  DIGIT / %x61-66 ;lowercase a-f

   Many SIP header field values consist of words separated by LWS or
   special characters.  Unless otherwise stated, tokens are case-
   insensitive.  These special characters MUST be in a quoted string to
   be used within a parameter value.  The word construct is used in
   Call-ID to allow most separators to be used.

      token       =  1*(alphanum / "-" / "." / "!" / "%" / "*"
                     / "_" / "+" / "`" / "'" / "~" )
      separators  =  "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" /
                     "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / DQUOTE /
                     "/" / "[" / "]" / "?" / "=" /
                     "{" / "}" / SP / HTAB
      word        =  1*(alphanum / "-" / "." / "!" / "%" / "*" /
                     "_" / "+" / "`" / "'" / "~" /
                     "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" /
                     ":" / "\" / DQUOTE /
                     "/" / "[" / "]" / "?" /
                     "{" / "}" )

   When tokens are used or separators are used between elements,
   whitespace is often allowed before or after these characters:

      STAR    =  SWS "*" SWS ; asterisk
      SLASH   =  SWS "/" SWS ; slash
      EQUAL   =  SWS "=" SWS ; equal
      LPAREN  =  SWS "(" SWS ; left parenthesis
      RPAREN  =  SWS ")" SWS ; right parenthesis
      RAQUOT  =  ">" SWS ; right angle quote
      LAQUOT  =  SWS "<"; left angle quote
      COMMA   =  SWS "," SWS ; comma
      SEMI    =  SWS ";" SWS ; semicolon
      COLON   =  SWS ":" SWS ; colon
      LDQUOT  =  SWS DQUOTE; open double quotation mark
      RDQUOT  =  DQUOTE SWS ; close double quotation mark
Top   ToC   RFC3261 - Page 222
   Comments can be included in some SIP header fields by surrounding the
   comment text with parentheses.  Comments are only allowed in fields
   containing "comment" as part of their field value definition.  In all
   other fields, parentheses are considered part of the field value.

      comment  =  LPAREN *(ctext / quoted-pair / comment) RPAREN
      ctext    =  %x21-27 / %x2A-5B / %x5D-7E / UTF8-NONASCII
                  / LWS

   ctext includes all chars except left and right parens and backslash.
   A string of text is parsed as a single word if it is quoted using
   double-quote marks.  In quoted strings, quotation marks (") and
   backslashes (\) need to be escaped.

      quoted-string  =  SWS DQUOTE *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE
      qdtext         =  LWS / %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E
                        / UTF8-NONASCII

   The backslash character ("\") MAY be used as a single-character
   quoting mechanism only within quoted-string and comment constructs.
   Unlike HTTP/1.1, the characters CR and LF cannot be escaped by this
   mechanism to avoid conflict with line folding and header separation.
