Hi, IF we would remove that requierment, and ONLY care about the case when the R-URI is replaced with the CONTACT, I don't think we need to do anything. I believe P-Called-Party-ID already solves that.

If that is a requirement, then I accept my suggestion won't suffice.

Freephone represents a use case where the R-URI is replaced with an AoR of user B - not with the contact of user B. A calls Bfreephonenumber routed the B (AOR) routed to B's contact. The target-uri draft is interested in obtaining: Bfreephonenumber as that is what A used to reach B. So what we like to see that B UA receives is something like H-I: Bfreephone; "istarget",\ B,\ contact-B So you want to get Bfreephonenumber and not B. In certain situations you are also interested in B, I guess that PBX's would interested in that to deliver to the correct user. We could distinguish them like: H-I: Bfreephone; "istarget",\ B,"aor"\ contact-B BR, /Hans Erik van Elburg On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 12:08 PM, Elwell, John <[email protected]> wrote: If 'istarget' is used only to identify the value that was overwritten in the Request-URI by a contact URI, an alternative approach would be to flag the contact URI H-I entry as 'iscontact'. Then the UAS would just need to look for the most recent H-I entry that is not marked 'iscontact'.

I thought it was clear that we need other words as those definitions don't match the target-uri drafts use of the terms. Also they do not suffice to provide a solution for the use cases in the target-uri draft. The 3261 text you refer to is exactly about the case where the home proxy overwrites the Request-URI with a new target. This target is teh registered contact address. And hence this would be what target-uri calls a hop or a route. This case and this is where it gets confusing is not a "retarget" in the target-uri draft use of the term. The target-uri draft states: "To avoid confusion, we refer to a SIP URI that is an address for a user or resource as a "target" and a SIP URI that is a hop for reaching that user as a "hop". Apparently that does not suffice to avoid confusion. As for the tagging, speaking about the solution before agreeing on the terminology and the problem it should solve is meaningless. /Hans Erik van Elburg On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 2:33 AM, Mary Barnes <[email protected]> wrote: Responses below [MB]. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Erik van Elburg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 6:42 PM To: Barnes, Mary (RICH2:AR00) Cc: Shida Schubert; [email protected] Subject: Re: Terminology (was RE: [Sip] Fwd: I-D ACTION:draft-rosenberg-sip-target-uri-delivery-01.txt I was talking about the concept. The use cases only describe cases where the target-uri (lets call that current target from now) has been lost when an initial request for a dialog or standalone request arrives at the UAS. [MB] And I think this is where the terminology confusion starts - I don't think of the "lost" target-uri as being the "current" target. In my mind, the "current" target is reflected by the last hi-entry and the request-uri in the incoming request at the UAS. If the entity that sent the request was the entity that added the last hi-entry, then the uri in that hi-entry is the same as the request-URI in the SIP request that arrives at the UAS. I refer to the "lost" uri as the one that was "retargeted" - that's the one the UAS wants to pull from the hi-entries in the incoming request. That hi-entry was not the one that was just added by the entity that built the request just received by the UAS. That hi-entry is tagged with whatever name we are going to tag it with BEFORE the request is forwarded (using the term forward per section 16.6 of RFC 3261). That tag is added once the target set of potential candidates for the new request uri are determined in section 16.5 of 3261 (with "target set" being a 3261 term), just before the request is forwarded in section 16.6 to one of those targets. A new hi-entry (which will be the last hi-entry in the request received by the UAS) is added in section 16.6 of 3261 as the request is forwarded. At this point in time, the lost information is in the previous hi-entry when the outgoing request is sent. [/MB] What has been lost is the current target of the request: [MB] Right - at which point in my mind, it's no longer the current target ;) Maybe we call it "lost". [/MB] Current target The current target of an initial request for a dialog or standalone request is the name or address to which the request is targeted, i.e. either the initial target inserted in the Request-URI by the UAC that originates the request, or when a retarget occurred, the target provided in that retarget operation. Reroute and translation operations never change the current target. [MB] I don't think this definition fits what you want - i.e., if there is no retargeting, then none of the hi-entries are tagged - i.e., you won't have your concept of current. The way it works is that if no hi-entries are tagged, then you know that there was no retargeting, thus you know the request-uri has not been lost. [/MB] This defintion only makes sense when the following definitions are used: Name: A name is a moniker for an entity which refers to it in a way which reveals nothing about where it is in a network. In SIP, tel URI which doesn't represent the location of the entity is a name. Address: An address is an identifier for an entity which describes it by its location on the network. In SIP, the SIP URI itself is a form of address because the host part of the URI, the only mandatory part of the URI besides the scheme itself, indicates the location of a SIP server that can be used to handle the request. Route: Finally, a route is a sequence of SIP entities (including the UA itself!) which are traversed in order to forward a request to an address or name. Retarget (other term might be needed, as this is highly confusing): A Request-URI rewrite operation that changes the target identity of the request. Reroute (other term might be needed): A Request-URI rewrite operation that does not change the current target of the request, but determines the route/next hop taken to reach the target-identity. /Hans Erik _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [email protected] for questions on current sip Use [email protected] for new developments on the application of sip
