Abstract
 This document specifies an extension to the Session Initiation
 Protocol (SIP) providing reliable provisional response messages. This
 extension uses the option tag org.ietf.sip.100rel.
1 Introduction
 The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [1] is a request-response
 protocol for initiating, maintaining, and terminating multimedia
 sessions. Each SIP request is followed by one or more provisional
 responses, followed by a one or more definitive responses. These
 provisional responses, also called informational responses, have
 status codes within the 100-199 range. They are most commonly used
 for responses to an INVITE request. They provide information on call
 progress, such as trying (100), alerting (180), queueing (182), and
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 1]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 session progress (183) [2]. However, when run over UDP, SIP does not
 guarantee that these messages are delivered reliably, or in order.
 However, a number of applications require reliability and in-order
 delivery of provisional responses to INVITE. These include gateway
 applications, wireless phones, ACD servers, and call queueing
 systems. Generally, these applications make use of the provisional
 responses to drive state machinery. This is especially true for the
 180 Ringing provisional response, which maps to the Q.931 ALERTING
 message.
 This document provides a simple extension to SIP for ensuring that
 provisional responses to all SIP requests are delivered reliably end
 to end, independent of the underlying transport mechanism. The
 extension works for provisional responses for any method. The
 extension is simple, requiring two new header fields, and one new
 method. The extension does not require support in proxies. The
 extension is indicated with the option tag org.ietf.sip.100rel.
2 Terminology
 In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
 "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
 and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [3] and
 indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.
3 Overview
 The reliability mechanism is based on the standard windowed
 acknowledgement technique. When a server generates a provisional
 response which is to be delivered reliably, it places a sequence
 number (via the RSeq header field) in the provisional response. These
 sequence numbers are chosen with a random initial value, for security
 reasons. The provisional response is then retransmitted with an
 exponential backoff, in a fashion that is identical to final
 responses to INVITE. Note that a UAS MUST NOT send a response
 reliably unless there was a Supported header in the request
 indicating support for this extension [4].
 Note that the reliability provided is NOT hop-by-hop. Proxies do not
 retransmit the provisional responses; they are simply forwarded. This
 is similar to the way in which 200 responses for INVITE messages are
 handled in proxies. Note, however, that the PRACK message described
 here is sent reliably using the same hop-by-hop techniques for all
 non-INVITE requests.
 The provisional response is then received at the UAC. The UAC can
 determine that the response is to be transmitted reliably by the
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 2]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 presence of the RSeq header. Responses which are not transmitted
 reliably do not contain the RSeq header.
 For a provisional response which is to be sent reliably, the UAC
 creates a new request, with a method of PRACK, used to acknowledge
 one or more provisional responses (PRACK is a cumulative
 acknowledgement). The PRACK request is like any other non-INVITE
 request sent within a call. The PRACK request contains the same
 Call-ID as the provisional response it is acknowledging. The CSeq
 number in the PRACK is higher than that of the request whose
 provisional response it acknowledges. The PRACK also contains a
 header, called RAck, which contains the highest value of the RSeq
 among the provisional responses being acknowledged. The RAck header
 also contains the contents of the CSeq field in the response being
 acknowledged. The combination of Call-ID, CSeq, and RAck allow the
 PRACK request to be matched to a set of provisonal responses within a
 specific transaction within a specific call. Like any other non-
 INVITE request, the PRACK request is retransmitted periodically up to
 a maximum of a four second interval. Note that the PRACK request is
 SHOULD NOT be retransmitted when retransmissions of the provisional
 response are received.
 When the UAS receives the PRACK request, it knows that the set of
 provisional responses have been received. The UAS then ceases
 retransmission of those provisional responses. It also generates a
 200 OK response to the PRACK, and sends it to the UAC. As with any
 other non-INVITE request, the 200 response to the PRACK request MUST
 be retransmitted when retransmissions of the PRACK request are
 received.
 When the UAC receives the 200 response (or any other final response)
 to the PRACK, it stops retransmitting the PRACK. This is standard
 behavior for non-INVITE requests.
 The UAS MUST NOT generate an additional reliable provisional response
 until the first is acknowledged. After the first is acknowledged, the
 UAS MAY send subsequent reliable provisional responses without
 waiting for acknowledgements of the previous. Since the PRACK request
 is a cumulative acknowledgement, a UAC MAY send a single PRACK for
 several provisional responses. However, for purposes of congestion
 control, it is RECOMMENDED that a UAS wait for the acknowledgement of
 a provisional response before sending the next. This effectively
 means that reliable provisional responses can be sent at a rate of at
 most per one per RTT (it may be less if there is loss).
4 Extension Syntax
 Two new header fields are defined, RSeq and RAck, in addition to a
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 3]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 new method, PRACK. The BNF for the headers are:
 RSeq = "RSeq" ":" response-num
 RAck = "RAck" ":" response-num CSeq-num Method
 response-num = 1*DIGIT
 CSeq-num = 1*DIGIT
 RSeq is a response header field. RAck is a request header field.
 The RSeq number in any reliable provisional response MUST be between
 1 and 2**32 - 1. The value in the first reliable provisional response
 is randomly chosen by the UAS. It MUST be between 1 and 2**31 - 1. It
 is RECOMMENDED that it be chosen uniformly in this range. The RSeq
 numbering space is within a single request. This means that
 provisional responses for different requests MAY use the same values
 for the RSeq number. Reliable provisional responses for the same
 request MUST contain RSeq values which increment by exactly one for
 each response. RSeq numbers MUST NOT wrap around. Because the initial
 one is chosen to be less than 2**31 - 1, but the maximum is 2**32 -
 1, there can be up to 2**31 reliable provisional responses per
 request, which is more than sufficient.
 The RAck header contains two numbers and a method tag. The first
 number is the value from the RSeq header in the provisional response
 that is being acknowledged. The next number, and the method, are
 copied from the CSeq in the response that is being acknowledged.
 The method specified here is called PRACK.
 Prack = "PRACK"
 As with other methods, the PRACK method name is case sensitive. The
 method in the RAck header is also case sensitive.
 This document specifies the named extension org.ietf.sip.100rel.
 This feature name is placed in the Supported or Unsupported header in
 requests.
5 Detailed Protocol Semantics
 In this section, we discuss the detailed behavior required from user
 agent clients, user agent servers, and proxies, in order to implement
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 4]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 this extension.
5.1 UAC Behavior
 If a UAC supports this extension, it MAY include a Supported header
 with the name org.ietf.sip.100rel listed as a feature token. If the
 UAC does not insert this header in an initial request, and it
 receives an error response with either a Require or Proxy-Require
 header indicating this feature, the UAC MUST resubmit the request,
 and this time include the Supported header listing this feature. This
 behavior is specified in the server side feature extension
 specification [4]. The rest of this discussion assumes this header
 has been inserted into a request. The request whose provisional
 response is being reliably sent is referred to as the initial
 request.
 If a provisional response is received for the initial request, and
 that response contains an RSeq header, the response is to be sent
 reliably. If the response is a 100 (as opposed to 101 to 199), the
 RSeq in the response is ignored. The reliability mechanisms defined
 here MUST NOT be used on 100 responses.
 100 responses are hop by hop only. For this reason, the
 reliability mechanisms described here, which are end to
 end, cannot be used.
 If the received provisional response was not a 100, and contained an
 RSeq header, the UAC MUST create a new request with method PRACK. The
 Call-ID in this request MUST match that of the provisional response.
 The CSeq in this request MUST be larger than the last request (PRACK
 or otherwise) sent by this UAC for this call leg. The To, From, and
 Via headers MUST be present, and MUST be constructed as they would be
 for a re-INVITE or BYE as specified in [1]. In particular, if the
 provisional response contained a tag in the To field, this tag MUST
 be mirrored in the To field of the PRACK.
 Since reliable provisional responses MAY contain Record-Route and
 Contact headers, the PRACK request MUST contain Route headers if the
 Record-Route headers were present in the provisional response. The
 Route header is constructed as specified in [1]. The Route header
 that is constructed from some provisional response MUST NOT be placed
 in any other request except for the PRACK for that provisional
 response.
 Since provisional responses can arrive from different
 UAS's, and from proxies, the routes to those entities will
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 5]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 all be different. This means a Record-Route in one response
 may be different from the Record-Route in another. To make
 sure the PRACK request gets to the right place, it has to
 contain the Route header that comes from the Record-Route
 header in the response it acknowledges.
 A UAC MUST NOT insert a Route header into a PRACK request if no
 Record-Route header was present in the response.
 PRACK requests MAY contain bodies. This is useful for establishing
 early media sessions for tones and announcements, or for setting up
 security or network preconditions for call completion [5][6].
 If the initial request was sent with credentials, the PRACK request
 SHOULD contain those credentials as well.
 It is not neccesary to include the Supported header listing the
 feature org.ietf.sip.100rel in the PRACK request. The usage of this
 method implicitly indicates support for this extension. An
 implementation MUST NOT send a PRACK request if this extension is not
 supported.
 Once the PRACK request is created, it is sent by the UAC. It is sent
 as would any other non-INVITE request for a call. In particular, when
 sent over UDP, the PRACK request is retransmitted with an
 exponentially increasing interval, starting at 500 milliseconds and
 increasing to 4 seconds. Note that a UAC SHOULD NOT retransmit the
 PRACK request when it receives a retransmission of the provisional
 response being acknowledged, although doing so does not create a
 protocol error. As with any other non-INVITE request, the UAC
 continues to retransmit the PRACK request until it receives a final
 response. A reliable provisional response for which a PRACK request
 has been sent is called an acknowledged reliable provisional
 response.
 A PRACK request MAY be cancelled. However, whilst allowed for
 purposes of generality, usage of CANCEL with PRACK is NOT
 RECOMMENDED.
 Handling of subsequent reliable provisional responses for the same
 request follows the same rules as above, with the following
 difference. Reliable provisional responses are guaranteed to be in
 order. As a result, if the UAC receives a reliable provisional
 response, and its RSeq value isn't one higher than the previous
 acknowledged reliable provisional response, that response MUST NOT be
 acknowledged with a PRACK. An implementation MAY discard the
 response, or MAY cache the response in the hopes of receiving the
 missing responses. Note that this requires the UAC to store the RSeq
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 6]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 value of the last acknowledged reliable provisional response for the
 duration of the transaction.
 If the UAC has received a sequence of reliable provisional responses,
 and there are no gaps in the RSeq values among those responses, and
 the lowest RSeq value is one higher than the last acknowledged
 reliable provisional response, the UAC MAY send a single PRACK
 request to acknowledge the entire sequence. The RAck header in the
 PRACK refers to the highest received RSeq value. It acknowledges
 receipt of all reliable provisional responses up to, and including,
 the one whose RSeq value is listed in the RAck.
5.2 UAS Behavior
 The UAS MAY send any provisional response reliably, so long as the
 initial request contained a Supported header indicating that this
 feature is understood. If the request did not include a Supported
 header indicating this feature, and it did not include a Unsupported
 header indicating this feature, and the UAS wishes to send some
 provisional responses reliably, the UAS SHOULD reject the intitial
 request and include a Require header in the response, as per [4]. In
 addition, the UAS MUST NOT attempt to send a 100 response reliably.
 Only responses numbered 101 to 199 MAY be sent reliably. The rest of
 this discussion assumes that the initial request contained a
 Supported header listing this feature, and that there is a response
 to be sent reliably.
 Note that a UAS MAY send reliable provisional responses for any
 request, including a PRACK request. It is anticipated that reliable
 provisional responses will be most useful for INVITE requests.
 The provisional response to be sent reliably MUST include an RSeq
 header. The numeric value of this header is chosen randomly for the
 first provisional response for a given request as described in
 section 4. The value in each subsequent reliable provisional response
 for the same request MUST be greater by exactly one. The RSeq
 numbering space is within a single request. This means that
 provisional responses for different requests MAY use the same values
 for the RSeq number.
 Reliable provisional respones MAY contain a body. If the initial
 request contained Record-Route headers, the provisional response MUST
 contain a copy of those headers, as if the response were a 200 OK to
 the initial request. As with any other response, reliable provisional
 responses MUST mirror the From, Call-ID, CSeq, Via, and To fields
 from the request. The UAS MUST insert a tag into the To field of the
 provisional response. The reliable provisional response MUST contain
 a Contact header.
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 7]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 The reliable provisional response is retransmitted periodically, even
 if sent over TCP. The retransmission interval starts at 500 ms, and
 doubles after each retransmission, up to a maximum of 32 seconds.
 This mirrors the behavior of INVITE responses in [1]. If no PRACK is
 received for that response after 96 seconds, it is considered a
 network or endpoint failure. Behavior at that point is at the
 discretion of the implementor.
 The UAS then waits for a PRACK request. It matches the PRACK request
 to a reliable provisional response through the Call-ID, To, and From,
 which identify the call-leg of the PRACK, and through the RAck
 header, which identifies the particular request and provisional
 response within the call leg. Specifically, a PRACK request X matches
 a provisional response Y if all of the following are true:
 o The Call-ID in X matches the Call-ID in Y.
 o The From in X matches the From in Y, including the tag, if
 present.
 o The To in X matches the To in Y, including the tag, if
 present. If Y did not contain a tag, but X did, these do not
 match. If Y did contain a tag, but X does not, these do match.
 o The method in the RAck of X matches the method in the CSeq of
 Y.
 o The CSeq-num in the RAck matches the CSeq number in Y.
 o The response-num in the RAck is greater than or equal to the
 RSeq value in Y.
 Note that a single PRACK may match multiple provisional responses.
 Only one response is sent to the PRACK.
 If a PRACK request is received that does not match any reliable
 provisional response, the UAS responds to the PRACK with a 481
 response.
 PRACK requests MAY be authenticated. If the UAS requires
 authentication of the requestor, and the PRACK does not contain
 credentials, or contains bad credentials, the UAS MAY respond to the
 PRACK with a 401, as outlined in [1], and include a challenge in the
 response.
 If a PRACK request is received that does match some provisional
 responses for which no PRACK has been received, the provisional
 response retransmissions for those responses cease. The UAS generates
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 8]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 a 200 OK response to the PRACK, and sends it. The rules for
 generation of the 200 OK for the PRACK, and for its transmission,
 follow those for any non-INVITE method outlined in [1]. The UAS can
 be certain at this point that those provisional responses have been
 received in order.
 If a PRACK request is received that does match some provisional
 responses, but a different PRACK has been received for all those
 responses already (different meaning the PRACK had a different CSeq
 value), the new PRACK is responded to with a 200 OK. There is no need
 to stop retransmissions of those reliable provisional responses that
 match, since their retransmissions will have already ceased from the
 previous PRACK.
 If the PRACK contained a body, the body is treated in the same way a
 body in an ACK is treated.
 As with any other non-INVITE request, if a retransmission of the
 PRACK request is received, the response to the PRACK is
 retransmitted. There is no need to retransmit the reliable
 provisional response when a PRACK is received.
 A PRACK request MAY be cancelled. If a UAS receives a CANCEL request
 for a PRACK before it has sent a final response to the PRACK, the
 PRACK is responded to with a 487, and the UAS acts as if the PRACK
 were never received. However, whilst allowed for purposes of
 generality, usage of CANCEL with PRACK is NOT RECOMMENDED.
 After the first reliable provisional response for a request has been
 acknowledged, the UAS MAY send additional reliable provisional
 responses. The UAS MUST NOT send a second reliable provisional
 response until the first is acknowledged. After the first, it is
 RECOMMENDED that the UAS not send additional reliable provisional
 responses until the previous is acknowledged. The first reliable
 provisional response receives special treatment because it conveys
 the intitial sequence number. If additional reliable provisional
 responses were sent before the first is acknowledged, the UAS could
 not be certain these were received in order.
5.3 Proxy Behavior
 This extension does not require active participation from proxies. As
 far as they are concerned, the PRACK is just another request to be
 forwarded. In most cases, the PRACK will have Route headers to
 indicate its proxy path. If there is no Route header, the PRACK is
 forwarded as any other request without a Route header. Rules for
 forking of a PRACK follow those for any non-INVITE request; the best
 response is forwarded upstream.
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 9]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 The only requirement for proxies is that they MUST pass all
 provisional responses upstream. RFC 2543 does not mandate that
 provisional responses are forwarded.
 Note that proxies MAY generate their own provisional responses to be
 sent reliably. When they do so, they follow the rules in Section 5.2,
 playing the role of the UAS, with the following exceptions.
 PRACK requests which do not match a provisional response sent
 reliably by the proxy are forwarded, rather than responded to with a
 481. A PRACK that does match a provisional response sent by the proxy
 MUST NOT be forwarded.
 To ensure that the PRACK request is routed to the right proxy, a
 proxy MUST copy the Record-Route header from the received initial
 request into the reliable provisional response. Furthermore, the
 proxy MUST then add itself as the first entry in the Record-Route
 header returned in the provisional response. If no Record-Route
 header was present in the request, and thus none copied to the
 response, the proxy MUST create one in the response and add itself as
 the only entry. Note that it is not required for the proxy to insert
 itself into the Record-Route header of the request that is forwarded
 downstream. This allows a proxy to receive PRACK requests for its own
 responses, but not be on the signaling path for subsequent requests.
 Note that a proxy MUST insert a tag in the To field of the
 provisional response. This ensures that PRACK requests for
 provisional responses generated by different proxies can be processed
 at the right proxy. The reliable provisional responses from two
 different proxies, for the same request, differ only in their tag in
 the To field. Therefore, to match the PRACK request to a provisional
 response, the tag in the To header must be used.
6 Examples
6.1 Message Formatting
 In this example, a UAC sends an INVITE to a UAS directly. The UAS
 sends a 183 response reliably.
 The initial request looks like:
 C->S: INVITE sip:watson@bell-tel.com SIP/2.0
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com

 and then with a 183 that is sent reliably:

 This response is retransmitted with an exponential backoff. When the
 UAC receives the response, it sends a PRACK:
 C->S: PRACK sip:watson@bell-tel.com SIP/2.0
 RAck: 776655 1 INVITE
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com

 Upon receiving this, the UAS stops retransmitting the 183, and sends
 a 200 OK to the PRACK:
 S->C: SIP/2.0 200 OK
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com
 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com
 To: sip:watson@bell-tel.com;tag=11
 Call-ID: 70710@saturn.bell-tel.com
 CSeq: 2 PRACK
 The UAS then sends two provisional responses in rapid succession:
 S->C: SIP/2.0 182 Two in the Queue
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com
 RSeq: 776656
 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com

 CSeq: 1 INVITE
J.Rosenberg,H.Schulzrinne [Page 12]

Internet Draft 100 Reliability January 16, 2000
 The UAC then receives these both, and sends a single PRACK to
 acknowledge them both:
 C->S: PRACK sip:watson@bell-tel.com SIP/2.0
 RAck: 776657 1 INVITE
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com

 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com
 To: sip:watson@bell-tel.com;tag=11
 Call-ID: 70710@saturn.bell-tel.com
 CSeq: 3 PRACK
 This causes retransmission of both 181 responses to be stopped, and a
 200 OK to the PRACK to be sent:
 S->C: SIP/2.0 200 OK
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com
 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com
 To: sip:watson@bell-tel.com;tag=11
 Call-ID: 70710@saturn.bell-tel.com
 CSeq: 3 PRACK
 Finally, the UAS sends a final response to the INVITE:
 S->C: SIP/2.0 200 OK
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com
 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com
 To: sip:watson@bell-tel.com;tag=11

 And the UAC sends an ACK for the 200 OK:
 C->S: ACK sip:watson@bell-tel.com SIP/2.0
 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP saturn.bell-tel.com
 From: sip:alexander@bell-tel.com

 CSeq: 1 INVITE
6.2 Message Flows
 This section illustrates an example message flow using this
 extension. We abbreviate a PRACK request with a RAck header value of
 M N INVITE as "PRACK M N", an INVITE with a CSeq of N as "INV N", a
 provisional response with a RSeq header value of M as "1xx M", and a
 200 OK response to a PRACK as "200 PRACK". Packets which are lost are
 shown with an "X" in front of them.
 The ladder diagram considers the case of a direct request between a
 UAC and UAS. The UAS sends a 100 response first, and then a 180
 reliably. It then responds with a final response of 300.

7 Open Issues
 There are a number of open issues:
 1. Is PRACK an OK name for this request?
 2. Do we need cumulative acknowledgements, or is to too
 complex?
 3. Should we simply disallow CANCEL for PRACK?
8 Security Considerations
 The PRACK request can be injected by attackers to force
 retransmissions of reliable provisional responses to cease. As these
 responses can convey important information, PRACK messages SHOULD be
 authenticated as any other request.
