Purpose:        Response to Liaison Request

Deadline:       None

Title: Response to liaison request from ITU-T Study Group 13 work on emergency telecommunications

This is a response to the liaison request made by Q.3/13 regarding emergency telecommunications (REF: NGN-GSI/DOC – 60 Rev.2). We would first like to apologize for failing to meet the deadline in responding. We do hope that the late answer still can be of some use.

The liaison request was made to the following working groups (WG): IEPREP, TSVWG, and NSIS. Since the request was sent the IEPREP WG has concluded. In addition to the WGs from which information was requested, we also think that work performed by the SIP and SIPPING WG may be of relevance.

Pursuant to ITU-T Study Group 13 request for information on relevant and related work in the IETF regarding emergency communications, we list below RFCs and works in progress that we feel may be of interest to your group. Some of the completed work is Informational, and others are in the category of Standards Track.

Q.3/13 also requested that we keep you informed of any developments in regards to emergency telecommunications. In those regards we would like to make you aware that IETF mailing list participation and document information is free and open to anyone, allowing participants in Q.3/13 to keep themselves informed of any developments. If Q.3/13 desire to get further information about specific ongoing work, then please send a liaison request to the responsible WG for those specific documents.

The following list is divided under the associated working groups from which the work has been done within the IETF.


SIP Working Group

RFC 4411

Title:
   Extending the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
   Reason Header for Preemption Events

Abstract:
  This document proposes an IANA Registration extension to the Session
   Initiation Protocol (SIP) Reason Header to be included in a BYE
   Method Request as a result of a session preemption event, either at a
   user agent (UA), or somewhere in the network involving a
   reservation-based protocol such as the Resource ReSerVation Protocol
   (RSVP) or Next Steps in Signaling (NSIS).  This document does not
   attempt to address routers failing in the packet path; instead, it
   addresses a deliberate tear down of a flow between UAs, and informs
   the terminated UA(s) with an indication of what occurred.

RFC 4412

Title:
   Communications Resource Priority for the Session Initiation
   Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
   This document defines two new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
   header fields for communicating resource priority, namely,
   "Resource-Priority" and "Accept-Resource-Priority".  The
   "Resource-Priority" header field can influence the behavior of SIP
   user agents (such as telephone gateways and IP telephones) and SIP
   proxies.  It does not directly influence the forwarding behavior of
   IP routers.



SIPPING Working Group

The below two documents are proposed work items accepted to become IETF WG items are likely of interest as they update RFC 4412.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-in-responses-00

Title:
Allowing SIP Resource Priority Header in SIP Responses

Abstract:
   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Resource Priority Header
   (RPH), in its current form, is ignored in SIP responses.  This was a
   design choice during RFC 4412's development. This is now considered
   a bad design choice in certain scenarios.  This document corrects
   RFC 4412's communications model by optionally allowing a SIP server
   or user agent client to process the Resource-Priority Header in a
   response.

Work In Progress:   draft-polk-sip-rph-new-namespaces--00

Title:
New Session Initiation Protocol Resource-Priority Header Namespaces for the Defense Information Systems Agency

Abstract:
   This document creates additional Session Initiation Protocol
   Resource-Priority header namespaces, to be IANA registered.  This
   document intends to update RFC 4412, as a Proposed Standard document
   if published by the RFC-Editor.

IEPREP Working Group

RFC 3487

Title:
   Requirements for Resource Priority Mechanisms for the
   Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Abstract:
   This document summarizes requirements for prioritizing access to
   circuit-switched network, end system and proxy resources for
   emergency preparedness communications using the Session Initiation
   Protocol (SIP).

RFC 3689

Title:
   General Requirements for
   Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
   This document presents a list of general requirements in support of
   Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS).  Solutions to these
   requirements are not presented in this document.  Additional
   requirements pertaining to specific applications, or types of
   applications, are to be specified in separate document(s).

RFC 3690

Title:
   IP Telephony Requirements for
   Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS)

Abstract:
   This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
   Telecommunications Service (ETS) within the context of IP telephony.
   It is an extension to the general requirements presented in RFC 3689.
   Solutions to these requirements are not presented in this document.

RFC 4190

Title:
   Framework for Supporting Emergency Telecommunications
   Service (ETS) in IP Telephony

Abstract:
   This document presents a framework for supporting authorized,
   emergency-related communication within the context of IP telephony.
   We present a series of objectives that reflect a general view of how
   authorized emergency service, in line with the Emergency
   Telecommunications Service (ETS), should be realized within today's
   IP architecture and service models.  From these objectives, we
   present a corresponding set of protocols and capabilities, which
   provide a more specific set of recommendations regarding existing
   IETF protocols.  Finally, we present two scenarios that act as
   guiding models for the objectives and functions listed in this
   document.  These models, coupled with an example of an existing
   service in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), contribute
   to a constrained solution space.

RFC 4375

Title:
   Emergency Telecommunications Services (ETS) Requirements
   for a Single Administrative Domain

Abstract:
   This document presents a list of requirements in support of Emergency
   Telecommunications Service (ETS) within a single administrative
   domain.  This document focuses on a specific set of administrative
   constraints and scope.  Solutions to these requirements are not
   presented in this document.


TSV Working Group

RFC 4542

Title:
   Implementing an Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS)
   for Real-Time Services in the Internet Protocol Suite

Abstract:
   RFCs 3689 and 3690 detail requirements for an Emergency
   Telecommunications Service (ETS), of which an Internet Emergency
   Preparedness Service (IEPS) would be a part.  Some of these types of
   services require call preemption; others require call queuing or
   other mechanisms.  IEPS requires a Call Admission Control (CAC)
   procedure and a Per Hop Behavior (PHB) for the data that meet the
   needs of this architecture.  Such a CAC procedure and PHB is
   appropriate to any service that might use H.323 or SIP to set up
   real-time sessions.  The key requirement is to guarantee an elevated
   probability of call completion to an authorized user in time of
   crisis.

   This document primarily discusses supporting ETS in the context of
   the US Government and NATO, because it focuses on the Multi-Level
   Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) and Government Emergency
   Telecommunication Service (GETS) standards.  The architectures
   described here are applicable beyond these organizations.

Work In Progress:   draft-ietf-tsvwg-emergency-rsvp-03.txt

Title:
   Resource ReSerVation Protovol (RSVP) Extensions for
   Emergency Services

Abstract:
   An Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) requires the ability to
   provide an elevated probability of session establishment to an
   authorized user in times of network congestion (typically, during a
   crisis). When supported over the Internet Protocol suite, this may be
   facilitated through a network layer admission control solution, which
   supports prioritized access to resources (e.g., bandwidth). These
   resources may be explicitly set aside for emergency services, or they
   may be shared with other sessions.

  This document specifies RSVP extensions that can be used to support
   such an admission priority capability at the network layer. Note that
   these extensions represent one possible solution component in
   satisfying ETS requirements. Other solution components, or other
   solutions, are outside the scope of this document.

NSIS Working Group

Work In Progress: draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-14.txt

Title:
NSLP for Quality-of-Service Signaling

Abstract:
This specification describes the NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP) for signaling QoS reservations in the Internet. It is in accordance with the framework and requirements developed in NSIS. Together with GIST, it provides functionality similar to RSVP and extends it. The QoS NSLP is independent of the underlying QoS specification or architecture and provides support for different reservation models. It is simplified by the elimination of support for multicast flows. This specification explains the overall protocol approach, design decisions made and provides examples. It specifies object, message formats and processing rules.

Non-WG Documents

        Approved for publication: draft-carlberg-trip-attribute-rp-02.txt

        Title:
          TRIP Attribute for Resource Priority
        
Abstract:
   This document defines a new attribute for  the  TRIP  protocol.   The
   attribute   associates   protocols/services   in  the  PSTN  offering
   authorized  prioritization  during  call  setup  that  are  reachable
   through  a TRIP gateway.  Current examples of preferential service in
   the PSTN are Government Emergency Telecommunications  Service  (GETS)
   in  the U.S. and Government Telephone Preference Scheme (GTPS) in the
   U.K.  The proposed attribute for TRIP is based on the NameSpace.Value
   tupple defined for the SIP resource Priority field.
