1. SIP Call Package Jonathan Rosenberg dynamicsoft

2. Three Separate Pieces Call Leg State Package Conference Package To-Join/To-Replace

3. Call Leg Package Allows a user to subscribe to the call leg state of another user –R-URI is user to subscribe to –Get back notifications on all active call legs at that user Notifications sent on messages that change state –Provisional/final responses –BYE Notification data includes –Status of the leg (in terms of response codes) –Optional leg params –Join/Replace URLs (later)

4. Whats it useful for? Single Line Extension –Phones in the group can know whether the calls answered by other phones are still active or not ACD –Trainer can find out whether trainees are in a call, to join it Automatic Callback

5. Conferencing Package Assumes a centralized manager for conferences –3-way calling (end system) –Dial-in, dial-out SUBSCRIBE to the “conference URL” Notifications on –Joins/departures –Floor control changes –Failed dialouts Notification data includes: –List of users and their status –Replaces URL (later) –Floor control state

6. Whats it useful for? Initiating side-bars with conference members –RTCP id not sufficient Web monitor of conference states

7. Join and Replace URL There is an asymmetry in joining and replacing legs –Join is implicit, based on the URL someone has handed you (or you can construct) –Replace is explicit, based on a header To transition from 2-party call to conference –Allocate conference URL –REFER everyone to it –BUT – how do you know second party isn’t ALREADY a conference URL? First idea –Unify join/replaces by using the same mechanism for both –Follow idea that interpretation of URL is conveyed separate from URL, interpreted by server that sent it –URL syntax at discretion of server

8. To-Join and To-Replace INVITE and 2xx both contain To-Join and To- Replace headers To-Join contains a URL, which if used, joins to that call leg –At discretion of UA how that’s done – REFER into bridge, local mix.. To-Replace contains a URL, which if used, replaces that call leg INV To-Replace:X 2xx ACK Hands To-Replace URL INV X 200 ACK BYE 200

9. Some Benefits URL can encode arbitrary data of use to server –Timestamps, authorization data, etc. URL can point to somewhere besides UA –Join URL goes to conference server, which actively pulls user in –Can be directly routable to THAT UA (solves consultation transfer problem) Solves problem of knowing whether you need to get a conference server or not

10. Discussion Points Clearly Replace URL is an alternate to replaces header To-Join makes more sense than To-Replace –You’re not really joining a leg, you’re joining a “conversation space” which is broader than a leg But you replace a leg –Sending Join requests to a different host makes more sense than replace URL in To-Join is what you would SUBSCRIBE to for conference package Main benefit of To- Replace is being able to use a URL that routes to UA

11. What do we want to do? Seems a key part of call control framework Completes the picture Picture of call control is: –Finding out about calls and conferences –Joining, replacing, creating, moving call legs and conferences We now have all of these pieces Proposal is to keep Replaces header, drop To-Replace, but consider To-Join
