3.8. Unsuccessful PSTN->SIP, ACM timeout, stateless Proxy

Since Proxy 1 is stateless (it does not send a 100 Trying response), NGW 1 re-sends the INVITE message after the expiration of SIP timer T1. Bob does not respond with 180 Ringing. Alice's network disconnects the call with a release REL (CauseCode=102 Timeout).

4. PSTN to PSTN Dialing via SIP Network

In these scenarios, both the caller and the called party are in the telephone network, either normal PSTN subscribers or PBX extensions. The calls route through two Gateways and at least one SIP Proxy Server. The Proxy Server performs the authentication and location of the Gateways. Again it is noted that the intent of this call flows document is not to provide a detailed parameter level mapping of SIP to PSTN protocols. For information on SIP to ISUP mapping, the reader is referred to other references [4]. In these scenarios, the call is successfully completed between the two Gateways, allowing the PSTN or PBX users to communicate. The 183 Session Progress response is used to indicate that in-band alerting may flow from the called party telephone switch to the caller.

Alice's telephone switch signals via SS7 to the Network Gateway NGW 1, while Carol's PBX signals via SS7 with the Gateway GW 2. The CdPN and CgPN are mapped by GW 1 into SIP URIs and placed in the To and From headers. Proxy 1 looks up the dialed digits in the Request-URI and maps the digits to the PBX extension of Carol, which
Top   ToC   RFC3666 - Page 98
   is served by GW 2.  The Proxy in F3 uses the host portion of the
   Request-URI to identify what private dialing plan is being
   referenced.  The INVITE is then forwarded to GW 2 for call
   completion.  An early media path is established end-to-end so that
   Alice can hear the ringing tone generated by PBX C.

   Carol answers the call and the media path is cut through in both
   directions.  Bob hangs up terminating the call.

   PBX Alice calls PBX Carol via Gateway GW 1 and Proxy 1.  During the
   attempt to reach Carol via GW 2, an error is encountered - Proxy 1
   receives a 503 Service Unavailable (F4) response to the forwarded
   INVITE.  This could be due to all circuits being busy, or some other
   outage at GW 2.  Proxy 1 recognizes the error and uses an alternative
   route via GW 3 to terminate the call.  From there, the call proceeds
   normally with Carol answering the call.  The call is terminated when
   Carol hangs up.

5. Security Considerations

This document provides examples of mapping from SIP to ISUP and ISUP to SIP. The gateways in these examples are compliant with the Security Considerations Section of RFC 3398 [4] which is summarized here.
Top   ToC   RFC3666 - Page 114
   There are few security concerns relating to the mapping of ISUP to
   SIP besides privacy considerations in the calling party number
   passing.  Some concerns relating to the mapping from tel URI
   parameters to ISUP include the user creation of parameters and codes
   relating to called number and local number portability (LNP).  An
   operator of a gateway should use policies similar to those present in
   PSTN switches to avoid security problems.

   The mapping from a SIP response code to an ISUP Cause Code presents a
   theoretical risk, so a gateway operator may implement policies
   controlling this mapping.  Gateways should also not rely on the
   contents of the From header field for identity information, as it may
   be arbitrarily populated by a user.  Instead, some sort of
   cryptographic authentication and authorization should be used for
   identity determination.  These flows show both HTTP Digest for
   authentication of users, although for brevity, the challenge is not
   always shown.

   The early media cut-through shown in some flows is another potential
   security risk, but it is also required for proper interaction with
   the PSTN.  Again, a gateway operator should use proper policies
   relating to early media to prevent fraud and misuse.  Finally, a user
   agent (even a properly authenticated one) can launch multiple
   simultaneous requests through a gateway, constituting a denial of
   service attack.  The adoption of policies to limit the number of
   simultaneous requests from a single entity may be used to prevent
   this attack.

   As discussed in the SIP-T framework [7], SIP/ISUP interworking can be
   employed as an interdomain signaling mechanism that may be subject to
   pre-existing trust relationships between administrative domains.  Any
   administrative domain implementing SIP-T or SIP/ISUP interworking
   should have an adequate security apparatus (including elements that
   manage any appropriate policies to manage fraud and billing in an
   interdomain environment) in place to ensure that the translation of
   ISUP information does not result in any security violations.

   Although no examples of this are shown in this document, transporting
   ISUP in SIP bodies may provide opportunities for abuse, fraud, and
   privacy concerns, especially when SIP-T requests can be generated,
   inspected or modified by arbitrary SIP endpoints.  ISUP MIME bodies
   should be secured (preferably with S/MIME as detailed in RFC 3261
   [2]) to alleviate this concern.  Authentication properties provided
   by S/MIME would allow the recipient of a SIP-T message to ensure that
   the ISUP MIME body was generated by an authorized entity.  Encryption
   would ensure that only carriers possessing a particular decryption
   key are capable of inspecting encapsulated ISUP MIME bodies in a SIP
   request.
