12. PACKAGE DEFINITION

The primary mechanism for extension is by means of Packages. Packages define additional Properties, Events, Signals and Statistics that may occur on Terminations. Packages defined by IETF will appear in separate RFCs. Packages defined by ITU-T may appear in the relevant recommendations (e.g. as annexes). 1. A public document or a standard forum document, which can be referenced as the document that describes the package following the guideline above, should be specified. 2. The document shall specify the version of the Package that it describes. 3. The document should be available on a public web server and should have a stable URL. The site should provide a mechanism to provide comments and appropriate responses should be returned.

12.1 Guidelines for defining packages

Packages define Properties, Events, Signals, and Statistics. Packages may also define new error codes according to the guidelines given in section 13.2. This is a matter of documentary convenience: the package documentation is submitted to IANA in support of the error code registration. If a package is modified, it is unnecessary to provide IANA with a new document reference in support of the error code unless the description of the error code itself is modified. Names of all such defined constructs shall consist of the PackageID (which uniquely identifies the package) and the ID of the item (which uniquely identifies the item in that package). In the text encoding the two shall be separated by a forward slash ("/") character. Example: togen/playtone is the text encoding to refer to the play tone signal in the tone generation package. A Package will contain the following sections:
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 76

12.1.1 Package

Overall description of the package, specifying: * Package Name: only descriptive, * PackageID: Is an identifier * Description: * Version: A new version of a package can only add additional Properties, Events, Signals, Statistics and new possible values for an existing parameter described in the original package. No deletions or modifications shall be allowed. A version is an integer in the range from 1 to 99. * Extends (Optional): A package may extend an existing package. The version of the original package must be specified. When a package extends another package it shall only add additional Properties, Events, Signals, Statistics and new possible values for an existing parameter described in the original package. An extended package shall not redefine or overload a name defined in the original package. Hence, if package B version 1 extends package A version 1, version 2 of B will not be able to extend the A version 2 if A version 2 defines a name already in B version 1.

12.1.2 Properties

Properties defined by the package, specifying: * Property Name: only descriptive. * PropertyID: Is an identifier * Description: * Type: One of: String: UTF-8 string Integer: 4 byte signed integer Double: 8 byte signed integer Character: Unicode UTF-8 encoding of a single letter. Could be more than one octet. Enumeration: One of a list of possible unique values (See 12.3) Sub-list: A list of several values from a list Boolean * Possible Values: * Defined in: Which Megaco descriptor the property is defined in. LocalControl is for stream dependent properties. TerminationState is for stream independent properties. These are expected to be the most common cases, but it is possible for properties to be defined in other descriptors.
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 77
   *  Characteristics: Read / Write or both, and (optionally), global:
      Indicates whether a property is read-only, or read-write, and if
      it is global.  If Global is omitted, the property is not global.
      If a property is declared as global, the value of the property is
      shared by all terminations realizing the package.

12.1.3 Events

Events defined by the package, specifying: * Event name: only descriptive. * EventID: Is an identifier * Description: * EventsDescriptor Parameters: Parameters used by the MGC to configure the event, and found in the EventsDescriptor. See section 12.2. * ObservedEventsDescriptor Parameters: Parameters returned to the MGC in Notify requests and in replies to command requests from the MGC that audit ObservedEventsDescriptor, and found in the ObservedEventsDescriptor. See section 12.2.

12.1.4 Signals

* Signals defined by the package, specifying: * Signal Name: only descriptive. * SignalID: Is an identifier. SignalID is used in a SignalsDescriptor * Description * SignalType: One of: - OO (On/Off) - TO (TimeOut) - BR (Brief) Note - SignalType may be defined such that it is dependent on the value of one or more parameters. Signals that would be played with SignalType BR or TO should have a default duration. The package has to define the default duration and signalType. * Duration: in hundredths of seconds * Additional Parameters: See section 12.2

12.1.5 Statistics

Statistics defined by the package, specifying: * Statistic name: only descriptive.
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 78
   *  StatisticID:  Is an identifier.  StatisticID is used in a
      StatisticsDescriptor.
   *  Description
   *  Units: unit of measure, e.g. milliseconds, packets.

12.1.6 Procedures

Additional guidance on the use of the package.

12.2 Guidelines to defining Properties, Statistics and Parameters to Events and Signals.

* Parameter Name: only descriptive * ParameterID: Is an identifier * Type: One of: String: UTF-8 octet string Integer: 4 octet signed integer Double: 8 octet signed integer Character: Unicode UTF-8 encoding of a single letter. Could be more than one octet. Enumeration: One of a list of possible unique values (See 12.3) Sub-list: A list of several values from a list (not supported for statistics) Boolean * Possible values: * Description:

12.3 Lists

Possible values for parameters include enumerations. Enumerations may be defined in a list. It is recommended that the list be IANA registered so that packages that extend the list can be defined without concern for conflicting names.

12.4 Identifiers

Identifiers in text encoding shall be strings of up to 64 characters, containing no spaces, starting with an alphanumeric character and consisting of alphanumeric characters and / or digits, and possibly including the special character underscore ("_"). Identifiers in binary encoding are 2 octets long. Both text and binary values shall be specified for each identifier, including identifiers used as values in enumerated types.
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 79

12.5 Package Registration

A package can be registered with IANA for interoperability reasons. See section 13 for IANA considerations.

13. IANA CONSIDERATIONS

13.1 Packages

The following considerations SHALL be met to register a package with IANA: 1. A unique string name, unique serial number and version number is registered for each package. The string name is used with text encoding. The serial number shall be used with binary encoding. Serial Numbers 60000-64565 are reserved for private use. Serial number 0 is reserved. 2. A contact name, email and postal addresses for that contact shall be specified. The contact information shall be updated by the defining organization as necessary. 3. A reference to a document that describes the package, which should be public: The document shall specify the version of the Package that it describes. If the document is public, it should be located on a public web server and should have a stable URL. The site should provide a mechanism to provide comments and appropriate responses should be returned. 4. Packages registered by other than recognized standards bodies shall have a minimum package name length of 8 characters. 5. All other package names are first come-first served if all other conditions are met

13.2 Error Codes

The following considerations SHALL be met to register an error code with IANA: 1. An error number and a one line (80 character maximum) string is registered for each error.
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 80
   2. A complete description of the conditions under which the error is
      detected shall be included in a publicly available document.  The
      description shall be sufficiently clear to differentiate the error
      from all other existing error codes.

   3. The document should be available on a public web server and should
      have a stable URL.

   4. Error numbers registered by recognized standards bodies shall have
      3 or 4 character error numbers.

   5. Error numbers registered by all other organizations or individuals
      shall have 4 character error numbers.

   6. An error number shall not be redefined, nor modified except by the
      organization or individual that originally defined it, or their
      successors or assigns.

13.3 ServiceChange Reasons

The following considerations SHALL be met to register service change reason with IANA: 1. A one phrase, 80-character maximum, unique reason code is registered for each reason. 2. A complete description of the conditions under which the reason is used is detected shall be included in a publicly available document. The description shall be sufficiently clear to differentiate the reason from all other existing reasons. 3. The document should be available on a public web server and should have a stable URL.

ANNEX A: BINARY ENCODING OF THE PROTOCOL (NORMATIVE)

This Annex specifies the syntax of messages using the notation defined in ASN.1 [ITU-T Recommendation X.680 (1997): Information Technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) - Specification of basic notation.]. Messages shall be encoded for transmission by applying the basic encoding rules specified in [ITU-T Recommendation X.690(1994) Information Technology - ASN.1 Encoding Rules: Specification of Basic Encoding Rules (BER)].
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 81

A.1 Coding of wildcars

The use of wildcards ALL and CHOOSE is allowed in the protocol. This allows a MGC to partially specify Termination IDs and let the MG choose from the values that conform to the partial specification. Termination IDs may encode a hierarchy of names. This hierarchy is provisioned. For instance, a TerminationID may consist of a trunk group, a trunk within the group and a circuit. Wildcarding must be possible at all levels. The following paragraphs explain how this is achieved. The ASN.1 description uses octet strings of up to 8 octets in length for Termination IDs. This means that Termination IDs consist of at most 64 bits. A fully specified Termination ID may be preceded by a sequence of wildcarding fields. A wildcarding field is one octet in length. Bit 7 (the most significant bit) of this octet specifies what type of wildcarding is invoked: if the bit value equals 1, then the ALL wildcard is used; if the bit value if 0, then the CHOOSE wildcard is used. Bit 6 of the wildcarding field specifies whether the wildcarding pertains to one level in the hierarchical naming scheme (bit value 0) or to the level of the hierarchy specified in the wildcarding field plus all lower levels (bit value 1). Bits 0 through 5 of the wildcarding field specify the bit position in the Termination ID at which the starts. We illustrate this scheme with some examples. In these examples, the most significant bit in a string of bits appears on the left hand side. Assume that Termination IDs are three octets long and that each octet represents a level in a hierarchical naming scheme. A valid Termination ID is 00000001 00011110 01010101. Addressing ALL names with prefix 00000001 00011110 is done as follows: wildcarding field: 10000111 Termination ID: 00000001 00011110 xxxxxxxx. The values of the bits labeled "x" is irrelevant and shall be ignored by the receiver. Indicating to the receiver that is must choose a name with 00011110 as the second octet is done as follows:
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 82
         wildcarding fields: 00010111 followed by 00000111
         Termination ID: xxxxxxxx 00011110 xxxxxxxx.

   The first wildcard field indicates a CHOOSE wildcard for the level in
   the naming hierarchy starting at bit 23, the highest level in our
   assumed naming scheme.  The second wildcard field indicates a CHOOSE
   wildcard for the level in the naming hierarchy starting at bit 7, the
   lowest level in our assumed naming scheme.

   Finally, a CHOOSE-wildcarded name with the highest level of the name
   equal to 00000001 is specified as follows:

         wildcard field: 01001111
         Termination ID: 0000001 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx .

   Bit value 1 at bit position 6 of the first octet of the wildcard
   field indicates that the wildcarding pertains to the specified level
   in the naming hierarchy and all lower levels.

   Context IDs may also be wildcarded.  In the case of Context IDs,
   however, specifying partial names is not allowed.  Context ID 0x0
   SHALL be used to indicate the NULL Context, Context ID 0xFFFFFFFE
   SHALL be used to indicate a CHOOSE wildcard, and Context ID
   0xFFFFFFFF SHALL be used to indicate an ALL wildcard.

   TerminationID 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF SHALL be used to indicate the ROOT
   Termination.

A.2 ASN.1 syntax specification

This section contains the ASN.1 specification of the H.248 protocol syntax. NOTE - In case a transport mechanism is used that employs application level framing, the definition of Transaction below changes. Refer to the annex defining the transport mechanism for the definition that applies in that case. NOTE - The ASN.1 specification below contains a clause defining TerminationIDList as a sequence of TerminationIDs. The length of this sequence SHALL be one, except possibly when used in contextAuditResult.

A.3 Digit maps and path names

From a syntactic viewpoint, digit maps are strings with syntactic restrictions imposed upon them. The syntax of valid digit maps is specified in ABNF [RFC 2234]. The syntax for digit maps presented in this section is for illustrative purposes only. The definition of digitMap in Annex B takes precedence in the case of differences between the two. digitMap = (digitString / LWSP "(" LWSP digitStringList LWSP ")" LWSP) digitStringList = digitString *( LWSP "/" LWSP digitString ) digitString = 1*(digitStringElement) digitStringElement = digitPosition [DOT] digitPosition = digitMapLetter / digitMapRange digitMapRange = ("x" / LWSP "[" LWSP digitLetter LWSP "]" LWSP) digitLetter = *((DIGIT "-" DIGIT) /digitMapLetter) digitMapLetter = DIGIT ;digits 0-9 / %x41-4B / %x61-6B ;a-k and A-K / "L" / "S" ;Inter-event timers ;(long, short) / "Z" ;Long duration event DOT = %x2E ; "." LWSP = *(WSP / COMMENT / EOL) WSP = SP / HTAB COMMENT = ";" *(SafeChar / RestChar / WSP) EOL EOL = (CR [LF]) / LF SP = %x20 HTAB = %x09 CR = %x0D LF = %x0A SafeChar = DIGIT / ALPHA / "+" / "-" / "&" / "!" / "_" / "/" / "'" / "?" / "@" / "^" / "`" / "~" / "*" / "$" / "\" / "(" / ")" / "%" / "." RestChar = ";" / "[" / "]" / "{" / "}" / ":" / "," / "#" / "<" / ">" / "=" / %x22
ToP   noToC   RFC3015 - Page 100
   DIGIT = %x30-39                      ; digits 0 through 9
   ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A    ; A-Z, a-z
   A path name is also a string with syntactic restrictions imposed
   upon it.  The ABNF production defining it is copied from Annex B.

   PathName = NAME *(["/"] ["*"] ["@"] (ALPHA / DIGIT)) ["*"]
   NAME = ALPHA *63(ALPHA / DIGIT / "_" )

ANNEX B TEXT ENCODING OF THE PROTOCOL (NORMATIVE)

B.1 Coding of wildcards

In a text encoding of the protocol, while TerminationIDs are arbitrary, by judicious choice of names, the wildcard character, "*" may be made more useful. When the wildcard character is encountered, it will "match" all TerminationIDs having the same previous and following characters (if appropriate). For example, if there were TerminationIDs of R13/3/1, R13/3/2 and R13/3/3, the TerminationID R13/3/* would match all of them. There are some circumstances where ALL Terminations must be referred to. The TerminationID "*" suffices, and is referred to as ALL. The CHOOSE TerminationID "$" may be used to signal to the MG that it has to create an ephemeral Termination or select an idle physical Termination.

B.2 ABNF specification

The protocol syntax is presented in ABNF according to RFC2234. ; Boolean values, indicated in the text as True and False, are ; encoded as "On" and "Off", respectively, in the ABNF. megacoMessage = LWSP [authenticationHeader SEP ] message authenticationHeader = AuthToken EQUAL SecurityParmIndex COLON SequenceNum COLON AuthData SecurityParmIndex = "0x" 8(HEXDIG) SequenceNum = "0x" 8(HEXDIG) AuthData = "0x" 24*64(HEXDIG) message = MegacopToken SLASH Version SEP mId SEP messageBody ; The version of the protocol defined here is equal to 1. messageBody = ( errorDescriptor / transactionList ) transactionList = 1*( transactionRequest / transactionReply / transactionPending / transactionResponseAck ) ;Use of response acks is dependent on underlying transport
