Abstract

   Without a tel URI parameter to carry an encoding type of Integrated
   Services Digital Network (ISDN) subaddress, interworking between ISDN
   User Part (ISUP) network and a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
   network is impossible in some cases.  To solve this problem, this
   document specifies a new optional tel URI parameter to carry the
   encoding type of ISDN subaddress.

Internet-Draft  ISDN subaddress encoding type for tel URI       Jul 2006


1.  Introduction

   RFC 3966 [2] defines a tel URI parameter "isub" that is designed to
   carry Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) subaddresses.

   In an ISDN User Part (ISUP) message, a Network Service Access Point
   (NSAP) address [6] or a "user specified" address can be carried as
   ISDN subaddress.  The NSAP address accommodates various types of
   address information along with an identifier for the address type and
   its encoding type.

   The "isub" parameter can carry any type of address but RFC 3966 [2]
   doesn't define a solution to carry information of a subaddress type
   (whether the subaddress is NSAP or User Specific) nor an identifier
   for the encoding type used.

   Most commonly used encoding type for the ISDN subaddress is an
   International Alphabet 5 (IA5) [5].  RFC 3966 does state "ISDN
   subaddresses typically contain IA5 characters but may contain any
   octet value" considering this fact.  Nevertheless, IA5 is just one of
   the encoding types among various encoding types used in the NSAP
   address.  Therefore "isub" parameter alone is not enough to describe
   ISDN subaddresses, and additional information is needed.

      Lack of information describing the encoding type of ISDN
      subaddress will make it difficult, for ISDN terminal receiving
      ISDN subaddress from SIP network (SIP-ISDN Interconnection) to
      interpret the "isub" parameter value, as a gateway may translate
      it using a wrong encoding type and end up with a wrong subaddress
      value due to inconsistency in the encoding type used.  It will
      also make it difficult to recover the original ISDN subaddress
      value when an ISUP message is translated to a SIP message and
      translated back to the ISUP message (ISDN-SIP-ISDN
      Interconnection).  As there is no placeholder to carry the
      encoding type in the SIP message, the encoding type information
      that was present in the original ISUP message will be lost and
      reconstructing the intended ISDN subaddress value is nearly
      impossible.

   To solve the issues presented, this specification defines an "isub-
   encoding" parameter to carry information describing whether the value
   of "isub" parameter is an NSAP address as well as its encoding type.
   In addition, this document specifies the accommodating values to be
   carried in "isub" parameter for each encoding type used.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].


3.  Problem Statement

   Without a tel URI parameter to carry an encoding type of ISDN
   subaddress, problems described in 3.1. and 3.2. would be observed.

3.1.  SIP-ISDN Interconnection

   The following diagrams show an issue that will be observed when
   interworking between SIP network and ISDN network with an ISDN
   subaddress.  When SIP equipment sends a request with "isub" parameter
   to address an ISDN terminal behind Private Branch Exchange (PBX), the
   encoding type of the ISDN subaddress currently can not be specified.
   Therefore gateway sitting between SIP network and ISDN network can
   not translate the value of "isub" into an ISUP Initial Address
   Message (IAM) properly as the encoding type information of the ISDN
   subaddress is missing.

3.2.  ISDN-SIP-ISDN Interconnection

   The following diagrams show an issue that will be observed when
   interworking messages with an ISDN subaddress between two ISDN
   networks that traverses through SIP networks.  When an ISDN terminal
   sends a message that contains ISDN subaddress along with its encoding
   type information, Gateway 1 translates the subaddress into "isub"
   parameter in a SIP message.  However, its encoding type information
   is dropped because there is no placeholder for the encoding type in
   the SIP message.  When Gateway 2 receives "isub", it can not
   translate the value of "isub" parameter back into IAM message
   properly because the encoding type information of the ISDN subaddress
   is missing.

Internet-Draft  ISDN subaddress encoding type for tel URI       Jul 2006


4.  Requirements

   The followings are requirements for a solution to carry an ISDN
   subaddress along with information of subaddress encoding type.

   Req 1:  When "isub" parameter is present but no "isub-encoding"
           parameter is present in a tel URI, the encoding of the ISDN
           subaddress in the original message MUST be assumed to be IA5
           (AFI=0x50).
   Req 2:  When using "isub" parameters in tel URIs, the encoding SHOULD
           be specified by using the optional "isub-encoding" parameter
           unless the encoding of ISDN subaddress is IA5 (AFI=0x50).


5.  Parameter Definition

   The parameter defined in this draft is represented as a tel URI
   parameter, which describes the encoding type information of the ISDN
   subaddress.  It is an optional parameter to tel URI to accommodate
   some of the information lacking in the "isub" parameter defined in
   RFC 3966 [2].  The ABNF [3] syntax is as follows.



   isub-encoding           = isub-encoding-tag "=" isub-encoding-value
   isub-encoding-tag       = "isub-encoding"
   isub-encoding-value     = "nsap-ia5" / "nsap-bcd" / "nsap" / token


   The semantics of these "isub-encoding" values are described below:

   nsap-ia5: Indication that the "isub" parameter value needs to be
             encoded using IA5 (AFI=0x50) when translated to an ISUP
             message.

   nsap-bcd: Indication that the "isub" parameter value needs to be
             encoded using Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) (AFI=0x48) when
             translated to the ISUP message.

   nsap:     Indication that the "isub" parameter value needs to be
             encoded using encoding type defined in ISO8348[6]
             other than IA5 (AFI=0x50) or BCD (AFI=0x48).

Internet-Draft  ISDN subaddress encoding type for tel URI       Jul 2006


      Note: Q.931 [7] defines an "user specified" subaddress type, but
      this document does not specify any behavior or value for "user
      specified" subaddress type.  Therefore, the "user specified"
      subaddress is beyond the scope of this document.

   An example of the syntax of the "isub-encoding" parameter (in a small
   fragment of a SIP [4] message) is given below:

      INVITE tel:+17005554141;isub=12345;isub-encoding=nsap-ia5 SIP/2.0
      To: <tel:+17005554141;isub=12345;isub-encoding=nsap-ia5>
      From: "Bob"<sip:bob@biloxi.example.com>;tag=1928301774


6.  Usage

   It is anticipated that a tel URI parameter defined in this document
   will be used along with an "isub" parameter defined in RFC 3966 [2]
   when interworking between an ISUP networks and a SIP network.  The
   URI parameter defined here is an optional parameter to the tel URI,
   and is useful only when it's accompanying the "isub" parameter.

   An ISDN subaddress information element carried in the ISUP message
   consists of 3-octet header followed by either an NSAP address or a
   user specified address.  The NSAP address consists of an IDP (AFI and
   conditionally IDI) that identifies an encoding type of the
   subaddress, and a DSP that represents the subaddress value itself.

   To find out more about the ISDN subaddress information element and
   the NSAP address including definition of AFI, IDI, IDP, and DSP,
   please reference the Appendices A and B.

   If the "isub-encoding" is absent, and a message is interpreted by an
   entity on the SIP network, the entity compliant to this specification
   MUST assume that the original ISDN subaddress in ISUP message was an
   NSAP address with an encoding type of IA5 (AFI=0x50), of which DSP
   value was translated and set to "isub" parameter value and MUST
   handle the message accordingly.

   If the "isub-encoding" is absent, and the message is handled by a
   gateway translating the SIP message to ISUP message, the gateway
   compliant to this specification MUST encode the value in the "isub"
   parameter using IA5 (AFI=0x50), and set the encoded value into the
   DSP part of the NSAP address when translating the message into ISUP
   message.

   If the value of "isub-encoding" is set to "nsap", the encoding type
   (AFI) is assumed to be in the first two characters of "isub"
   parameter in hexadecimal represented as US-ASCII characters 0-9 and

   A-F.

  If the ISDN subaddress is not an NSAP address, the entity
  translating the message SHOULD treat the message as if neither
  "isub-encoding" nor "isub" parameters existed, unless it has a
  prior knowledge of the encoding method used.

   When an entity that is not compliant to this specification handles
   the message with the "isub-encoding" parameter, it would simply
   ignore the parameter and its value.

6.1.  Gateway Behavior

   Gateway compliant to this specification that receives message/signal
   from ISDN network containing ISDN subaddress MUST check the encoding
   used for the subaddress and MUST follow the procedures given below.

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address encoded using IA5
      (AFI=0x50), the entity MAY set the "isub-encoding" parameter to
      the value "nsap-ia5" and set the DSP value of the NSAP address as
      the value for "isub" parameter using characters permitted for
      "isub" parameter as specified in RFC 3966 [2] or omit the
      "isub-encoding" parameter.

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address encoded using BCD
      (AFI=0x48), the entity MUST set the "isub-encoding" parameter to
      the value "nsap-bcd" and set the decoded DSP value of the NSAP
      address as the value for "isub" parameter in US-ASCII characters
      using numbers.

         Note: Each semi-octet should be translated into numbers. e.g.)
         01011001 would be translated as 5 and 9.

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address but neither encoded
      using IA5 (AFI=0x50) nor BCD (AFI=0x48), the entity translating
      the message MUST set the "isub-encoding" parameter to the value
      "nsap" and the entire NSAP address as the value for "isub"
      parameter in hexadecimal represented as US-ASCII characters (0-9
      and A-F).

     If the ISDN subaddress is not an NSAP address, the entity
     translating the message SHOULD NOT generate any "isub-encoding"
     or "isub" parameters, unless it has a private agreement with the
     recipient about what to do in this case.

6.2.  SIP Entity Behavior

   An entity compliant to this specification setting an "isub" parameter
   MUST follow the procedures given below.

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address encoded using IA5
      (AFI=0x50), the entity MAY set the "isub-encoding" to "nsap-ia5".
      The "isub" parameter value MUST NOT exceed 19 characters.  The
      characters used MUST follow the syntax defined for "isub"
      parameter as specified in RFC 3966 [2]

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address encoded using BCD
      (AFI=0x48), the entity MUST set the "isub-encoding" to "nsap-bcd".
      The "isub" parameter value MUST NOT exceed 38 US-ASCII characters
      (numbers).

      If the ISDN subaddress is an NSAP address encoded using other than
      IA5 (AFI=0x50) or BCD (AFI=0x48), the entity MUST set the "isub-
      encoding" to "nsap".  The "isub" parameter value MUST NOT exceed
      40 US-ASCII characters and it MUST be in hexadecimal represented
      as US-ASCII characters (0-9 and A-F).


7.  Security Considerations

   The parameter defined here adds no new security considerations to
   those discussed in RFC 3966 [2].


8.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires no action by IANA.

        Figure 3:  Structure of ISDN Subaddress Information Element



   Although the length varies, the maximum length of an ISDN subaddress
   information element shown in the figure above is 23 octets.  The
   first 3 octets are header.  The rest of the octets comprise the
   subaddress information that is either an NSAP address or a "user
   specified" address.

   The 1st octet is a called party subaddress information element
   identifier that identifies that this information element is a called
   party subaddress.  The 2nd octet represents the length of called
   party subaddress contents.

   The 5th to 7th bits of the 3rd octet identifies the type of
   subaddress.  This field is set to 0 0 0 when the subaddress is an
   NSAP address.  It is set to 0 1 0 when the subaddress is "user
   specified".

   The 4th bit of the 3rd octet is an odd/even indicator.  The odd/even
   indicator is used when the type of subaddress is "user specified"
   with the encoding type of BCD, to enable an entity to pad the missing
   bits (last 4bits of subaddress information) when the numbers of
   digits composing subaddress is odd.

      Note: When interworking with SIP it is recommended not to
      translate the padding bits to "isub" parameter.


Appendix B.  Structure of NSAP Addresses

Internet-Draft  ISDN subaddress encoding type for tel URI       Jul 2006


   In ISUP messages, the ISDN subaddress is generally represented as an
   NSAP address.  The NSAP address is defined as follows in ISO 8348
   [6].

   The NSAP address consists of an Initial Domain Part (IDP) and a
   Domain Specific Part (DSP).  The IDP consists of two fields, an
   Authority and Format Identifier (AFI) and an Initial Domain
   Identifier (IDI).  The maximum length of NSAP address is 20 octets.



           <------------------ NSAP Address ------------------>

           +--------------------------------------------------+
           |    I D P    |                                    |
           |-------------|             D S P                  |
           | AFI |  IDI  |                                    |
           +--------------------------------------------------+
           0     1       k     ...  Octets  ...         max. 20


                 Figure 4:  Structure of NSAP Addresses



   The AFI value is two hexadecimal digits (00-FF), and it identifies
   the IDI format and the DSP syntax.

   The IDI value when present is represented as decimal digits, and it
   identifies a network addressing domain or authority responsible for
   allocating values of the DSP.  The length of IDI varies and it
   depends on the value of AFI.

   Typical encoding type of the ISDN subaddress, IA5, is identified as
   AFI=0x50.  When AFI value is 0x50, the length of IDI is zero,
   therefore the length of IDP is 2 digits (1 octet).  In this case, DSP
   value is a subaddress encoded by IA5 and its maximum length is 19
   octets.  The length of IDI is also zero when the encoding type is BCD
   (AFI=0x48).  The NSAP address for when AFI's value set to either 0x50
   or 0x48 is shown below.  As shown, DSP starts from the 2nd octet of
   the NSAP address.
