RFC 4458 (regarding SIP URIs for applications) defines a "cause" URI
parameter, which may appear in the Request-URI of a SIP request, that
is used to indicate a reason why the request arrived to the User
Agent Server (UAS) receiving the message. This document updates RFC
4458 by creating a new predefined value for the "cause" URI parameter
to cover service number translation for cases of retargeting due to
specific service action leading to the translation of a called
service access number. This document also provides guidance, which
was missing in RFC 4458, for using the "cause" URI parameter within
the History-Info header field, since this use is mandatory in some IP
networks' implementations.
