A Clarification on the Use of Globally Routable User Agent URIs (GRUUs)
in the SIP Event Notification Framework

Abstract

Experience since the publication of the most recent SIP Events
framework (in July 2012) has shown that there is room for
interpretation around the use of Globally Routable User Agent URIs in
that specification. This document clarifies the intended behavior.

This document updates RFC 6665.

1. Introduction

This document is intended to clarify a point of implementor confusion
arising from lack of clarity in [RFC6665].

2. Clarification of GRUU Handling

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 [RFC2119].

Section 4.5.1 of [RFC6665] contains the following normative
requirement on implementations:

Notifiers MUST implement the Globally Routable User Agent URI
(GRUU) extension defined in [RFC5627], and MUST use a GRUU as
their local target. This allows subscribers to explicitly target
desired devices.

The second sentence of this paragraph attempted to set context for
the normative statement: the reason GRUUs are required in this
context is to allow you to send SUBSCRIBE or REFER requests to a
specific user agent, with the target of the subscription request
being something like an INVITE dialog on that device. Consequently,
the requirement to include a GRUU as a local target was intended to
apply not just to the local target for SUBSCRIBE-created dialogs, but
to *all* dialogs, even those created by INVITE. This requirement has
been interpreted in a variety of ways by implementors, so a
clarification is in order.

Discussion subsequent to the publication of [RFC6665] has highlighted
obscure cases in which implementations might be notifiers in some
contexts, but may not wish to act as notifiers in others. Under
these narrow circumstances, the restriction described above is not
necessary for dialogs about which the notifier will never accept
subscriptions (although the use of GRUUs in such a context causes no
harm, either).

RFC 7621 SIP Events GRUU Clarification August 2015


This document updates [RFC6665] to clarify the actual requirements.
The replacement text is as follows:

Notifiers MUST implement the Globally Routable User Agent URI
(GRUU) extension defined in [RFC5627]. Notifiers MUST use a GRUU
as their local target for all dialog-forming methods and all
target-refresh methods, except for those dialogs for which they
will reject all subscription requests (implicit or explicit). For
clarity: an implementation that uses a non-GRUU local contact
under the exception described above MUST reject a request that
might create a subscription to the associated dialog, regardless
of whether such subscription would be created by a SUBSCRIBE or a
REFER message. The rejection code under such conditions SHOULD be
403 (Forbidden) unless some other code is more appropriate to the
circumstances. The foregoing requirements to implement and use
GRUUs specifically include dialogs created by the INVITE method.

3. Security Considerations

This mechanism does not introduce any security issues beyond those
discussed in [RFC6665].

4. IANA Considerations

This document requests no actions of IANA.
