Andrew,

Its been quite awhile and my memory may be getting a little fuzzy on this, but...

As I recall there are some very subtle points about this. There are cases where someone other than the UA doing the registering may need the gruu. So the UA that registers its contact may not support GRUU, the gruu need be allocated so others can use it. For instance, if some other UA registers the same AOR, and does support gruu, it will get back all the contacts, and should get back gruus for all of them. Similarly, any who subscribe to the reg event package.

As I recall, the "hello world" example (in the gruu reg event package?) would depend on this.

Of course the registrar need not actually assign the gruu until something happens that will result in it being observed.

        Thanks,
        Paul

In 5.1 Processing of a GRUU
The text seems to indicate that the registrar allocates GRUUs for every
Contact that includes the "+sip.instance" header field parameter.
However "+sip.instance" can be used by UAs that support only outbound
and not GRUU so first the registrar should check that "gruu" option tag
is included by the UA in a Require or Supported header before checking
for "+sip.instance" header field parameters in the Contacts and
allocating GRUUs. There doesn't seem any point in the Registrar
allocating GRUUs if the UA doesn't support them.

Subject: [Sip] bug in draft-ietf-sip-gruu-15 grammar

Hi,

draft-ietf-sip-gruu-15 contains (amongst others) these ABNF rules:

| contact-params  =/ temp-gruu / pub-gruu
| temp-gruu       =  "temp-gruu" EQUAL LDQUOT *(qdtext / quoted-pair )
|                    RDQUOT
| pub-gruu        =  "pub-gruu" EQUAL LDQUOT *(qdtext / quoted-pair )
|                    RDQUOT

which, when adding them to the grammar from RFC 3261, would produce
from <Contact> a language that's a superset of the language that would
be produced by <Contact> from RFC 3261-only.

In particular, the language produced by <foo> is a subset of the
"GRUU extended" language, but not of the RFC 3261-only one:

| foo = "m: <sip:[email protected]>;temp-gruu=" DQUOTE "x" DQUOTE SP CRLF

To put it in more practical terms: the <RDQUOT> in both <temp-gruu> and
<pub-gruu> allow for trailing <LWS>, which <contact-extension> does
not, so an implementation conforming to draft-ietf-sip-gruu-15 could
produce a Contact header that potentially could not be parsable
(except as an <extension-header>) by an implementation conforming
to RFC 3261.

Thus, I would suggest to replace the rules quoted above by:

| contact-params  =/ temp-gruu / pub-gruu
| temp-gruu       =  "temp-gruu" EQUAL LDQUOT *(qdtext / quoted-pair )
|                    DQUOTE
| pub-gruu        =  "pub-gruu" EQUAL LDQUOT *(qdtext / quoted-pair )
|                    DQUOTE

This produces the same language, maybe it's a better replacement:

| contact-params  =/ temp-gruu / pub-gruu
| temp-gruu       =  "temp-gruu" EQUAL quoted-string
| pub-gruu        =  "pub-gruu" EQUAL quoted-string
