Abstract
This document contains best current practice examples of Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) call flows showing interworking with the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Elements in these call
flows include SIP User Agents, SIP Proxy Servers, and PSTN Gateways.
Scenarios include SIP to PSTN, PSTN to SIP, and PSTN to PSTN via SIP.
PSTN telephony protocols are illustrated using ISDN (Integrated
Services Digital Network), ISUP (ISDN User Part), and FGB (Feature
Group B) circuit associated signaling. PSTN calls are illustrated
using global telephone numbers from the PSTN and private extensions
served on by a PBX (Private Branch Exchange). Call flow diagrams and
message details are shown.

1. Overview
The call flows shown in this document were developed in the design of
a SIP IP communications network. They represent an example of a
minimum set of functionality.
It is the hope of the authors that this document will be useful for
SIP implementers, designers, and protocol researchers alike and will
help further the goal of a standard implementation of RFC 3261 [2].
These flows represent carefully checked and working group reviewed
scenarios of the most common SIP/PSTN interworking examples as a
companion to the specifications.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 2]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
These call flows are based on the current version 2.0 of SIP in RFC
3261 [2] with SDP usage described in RFC 3264 [3]. Other RFCs also
comprise the SIP standard but are not used in this set of basic call
flows. The SIP/ISUP mapping is based on RFC 3398 [4].
Various PSTN signaling protocols are illustrated in this document:
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), ISUP (ISDN User Part) and
FGB (Feature Group B) circuit associated signaling. This document
shows mainly ANSI ISUP due to its practical origins. However, as
used in this document, the usage is virtually identical to the ITU-T
International ISUP used as the reference in [4].
Basic SIP call flow examples are contained in a companion document,
RFC 3665 [10].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [1].
1.1. General Assumptions
A number of architecture, network, and protocol assumptions underlie
the call flows in this document. Note that these assumptions are not
requirements. They are outlined in this section so that they may be
taken into consideration and to aid in the understanding of the call
flow examples.
The authentication of SIP User Agents in these example call flows is
performed using HTTP Digest as defined in [3] and [5].
Some Proxy Servers in these call flows insert Record-Route headers
into requests to ensure that they are in the signaling path for
future message exchanges.
These flows show TLS, TCP, and UDP for transport. SCTP could also be
used. See the discussion in RFC 3261 [2] for details on the
transport issues for SIP.
The SIP Proxy Server has access to a Location Service and other
databases. Information present in the Request-URI and the context
(From header) is sufficient to determine to which proxy or gateway
the message should be routed. In most cases, a primary and secondary
route will be determined in case of a Proxy or Gateway failure
downstream.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 3]
RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
Gateways provide tones (ringing, busy, etc) and announcements to the
PSTN side based on SIP response messages, or pass along audio in-band
tones (ringing, busy tone, etc.) in an early media stream to the SIP
side.
The interactions between the Proxy and Gateway can be summarized as
follows:
- The SIP Proxy Server performs digit analysis and lookup and
locates the correct gateway.
- The SIP Proxy Server performs gateway location based on primary
and secondary routing.
Telephone numbers are usually represented as SIP URIs. Note that an
alternative is the use of the tel URI [6].
This document shows typical examples of SIP/ISUP interworking.
Although in the spirit of the SIP-T framework [7], these examples do
not represent a complete implementation of the framework. The
examples here represent more of a minimal set of examples for very
basic SIP to ISUP interworking, rather than the more complex goal of
ISUP transparency. In particular, there are NO examples of
encapsulated ISUP in this document. If present, these messages would
show S/MIME encryption due to the sensitive nature of this
information, as discussed in the SIP-T Framework security
considerations section. (Note - RFC 3204 [8] contains an example of
an INVITE with encapsulated ISUP.) See the Security Considerations
section for a more detailed discussion on the security of these call
flows.
In ISUP, the Calling Party Number is abbreviated as CgPN and the
Called Party Number is abbreviated as CdPN. Other abbreviations
include Numbering Plan Indicator (NPI) and Nature of Address (NOA).
1.2. Legend for Message Flows
Dashed lines (---) represent signaling messages that are mandatory to
the call scenario. These messages can be SIP or PSTN signaling. The
arrow indicates the direction of message flow.
Double dashed lines (===) represent media paths between network
elements.
Messages with parentheses around their name represent optional
messages.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 4]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
Messages are identified in the Figures as F1, F2, etc. This
references the message details in the list that follows the Figure.
Comments in the message details are shown in the following form:
/* Comments. */
1.3. SIP Protocol Assumptions
This document does not prescribe the flows precisely as they are
shown, but rather the flows illustrate the principles for best
practice. They are best practices usages (orderings, syntax,
selection of features for the purpose, handling of error) of SIP
methods, headers and parameters. IMPORTANT: The exact flows here
must not be copied as is by an implementer due to specific incorrect
characteristics that were introduced into the document for
convenience and are listed below. To sum up, the SIP/PSTN call flows
represent well-reviewed examples of SIP usage, which are best common
practice according to IETF consensus.
For simplicity in reading and editing the document, there are a
number of differences between some of the examples and actual SIP
messages. For example, the SIP Digest responses are not actual MD5
encodings. Call-IDs are often repeated, and CSeq counts often begin
at 1. Header fields are usually shown in the same order. Usually
only the minimum required header field set is shown, others that
would normally be present, such as Accept, Supported, Allow, etc. are
not shown.

Note that NGW 1 and NGW 2 also have device URIs (Contacts) of
sip:ngw1@a.example.com and sip:ngw2@a.example.com which resolve to
the Proxy Server sip:ss1.wcom.com using DNS SRV records.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 5]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
2. SIP to PSTN Dialing
In the following scenarios, Alice (sip:alice@a.example.com) is a SIP
phone or other SIP-enabled device. Bob is reachable via the PSTN at
global telephone number +19725552222. Alice places a call to Bob
through a Proxy Server, Proxy 1, and a Network Gateway. In other
scenarios, Alice places calls to Carol, who is served via a PBX
(Private Branch Exchange) and is identified by a private extension
444-3333, or global number +1-918-555-3333. Note that Alice uses
his/her global telephone number +1-314-555-1111 in the From header in
the INVITE messages. This then gives the Gateway the option of using
this header to populate the calling party identification field in
subsequent signaling. Left open is the issue of how the Gateway can
determine the accuracy of the telephone number which is necessary
before passing it as a valid calling party number in the PSTN.
In these scenarios, Alice is a SIP phone or other SIP-enabled device.
Alice places a call to Bob in the PSTN or Carol on a PBX through a
Proxy Server and a Gateway.
In the failure scenarios, the call does not complete. In some cases
however, a media stream is still setup. This is due to the fact that
some failures in dialing to the PSTN result in in-band tones (busy,
reorder tones or announcements - "The number you have dialed has
changed. The new number is..."). The 183 Session Progress response
containing SDP media information is used to setup this early media
path so that the caller Alice knows the final disposition of the
call.
The media stream is either terminated by the caller after the tone or
announcement has been heard and understood, or by the Gateway after a
timer expires.
In other failure scenarios, a SS7 Release with Cause Code is mapped
to a SIP response. In these scenarios, the early media path is not
used, but the actual failure code is conveyed to the caller by the
SIP User Agent Client.

Alice dials the globalized E.164 number +19725552222 to reach Bob.
Note that A might have only dialed the last 7 digits, or some other
dialing plan. It is assumed that the SIP User Agent Client converts
the digits into a global number and puts them into a SIP URI. Note
that tel URIs could be used instead of SIP URIs.
Alice could use either their SIP address (sip:alice@a.example.com) or
SIP telephone number (sip:+13145551111@ss1.a.example.com;user=phone)
in the From header. In this example, the telephone number is
included, and it is shown as being passed as calling party
identification through the Network Gateway (NGW 1) to Bob (F5). Note
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 7]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
that for this number to be passed into the SS7 network, it would have
to be somehow verified for accuracy.
In this scenario, Bob answers the call, then Alice disconnects the
call. Signaling between NGW 1 and Bob's telephone switch is ANSI
ISUP. For the details of SIP to ISUP mapping, refer to [4].
In this flow, notice that the Contact returned by NGW 1 in messages
F7-11 is sip:ngw1@a.example.com. This is because NGW 1 only accepts
SIP messages that come through Proxy 1 - any direct signaling will be
ignored. Since this Contact URI may be used outside of this dialog
and must be routable (Section 8.1.1.8 in RFC 3261 [2]) the Contact
URI for NGW 1 must resolve to Proxy 1. This Contact URI resolves via
DNS to Proxy 1 (sip:ss1.a.example.com) which then resolves it to
sip:ngw1.a.example.com which is the address of NGW 1.
This flow shows TCP transport.

Alice is a SIP device while Carol is connected via a Gateway (GW 1)
to a PBX. The PBX connection is via a ISDN trunk group. Alice dials
Carol's telephone number (918-555-3333) which is globalized and put
into a SIP URI.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 15]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
The host portion of the Request-URI in the INVITE F3 is used to
identify the context (customer, trunk group, or line) in which the
private number 444-3333 is valid. Otherwise, this INVITE message
could get forwarded by GW 1 and the context of the digits could
become lost and the call unroutable.
Proxy 1 looks up the telephone number and locates the gateway that
serves Carol. Carol is identified by its extension (444-3333) in the
Request-URI sent to GW 1.
Note that the Contact URI for GW 1, as used in messages F8, F9, F12,
and F13, is sips:4443333@gw1.a.example.com, which resolves directly
to the gateway.
This flow shows the use of Secure SIP (sips) URIs.

Alice calls Bob through Proxy 1. Proxy 1 tries to route to a Network
Gateway NGW 1. NGW 1 is not available and responds with a 503
Service Unavailable (F4). The call is then routed to Network Gateway
NGW 2. Bob answers the call. The call is terminated when Alice
disconnects the call. NGW 2 and Bob's telephone switch use ANSI ISUP
signaling.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 23]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
NGW 2 also only accepts SIP messages that come through Proxy 1, so
the Contact URI sip:ngw2@a.example.com is used in this flow.
This flow shows UDP transport.

In this scenario, Alice places a call to Bob by dialing Bob's
telephone number (9725552222). Alice's UA converts the phone number
to an E.164 number (+19725552222), and performs an ENUM query [9] on
the E.164 number (2.2.2.2.5.5.5.2.7.9.1.e164.arpa), which returns a
NAPTR record containing a SIP AOR URI for Bob
(sip:+19725552222@b.example.com). As a result, Alice's UA sends an
INVITE and the call completes over IP bypassing the PSTN.
The call is terminated when Bob sends a BYE message.

Alice calls Bob in the PSTN through a proxy server Proxy 1 and a
Network Gateway NGW 1. The call is rejected by the PSTN with an
in-band treatment (tone or recording) played. Alice hears the
treatment and then hangs up, which results in a CANCEL (F9) being
sent to terminate the call. (A BYE is not sent since no final
response was ever received by Alice.)

Alice calls PSTN Bob through a Proxy Server Proxy 1 and a Network
Gateway NGW 1. The call is rejected by the PSTN with a ANSI ISUP
Release message REL containing a specific Cause code. This cause
value (1) is mapped by the Gateway to a SIP 404 Address Incomplete
response which is proxied back to Alice. For more details of ISUP
cause value to SIP response mapping, refer to [4].

Alice calls Bob in the PSTN through a proxy server Proxy 1 and
Network Gateway NGW 1. The call is released by the Gateway after a
timer expires due to no ANswer Message (ANM) being received. The
Gateway sends an ISUP Release REL message to the PSTN and a 480
Temporarily Unavailable response to Alice in the SIP network.

3. PSTN to SIP Dialing
In these scenarios, Alice is placing calls from the PSTN to Bob in a
SIP network. Alice's telephone switch signals to a Network Gateway
(NGW 1) using ANSI ISUP.
Since the called SIP User Agent does not send in-band signaling
information, no early media path needs to be established on the IP
side. As a result, the 183 Session Progress response is not used.
However, NGW 1 will establish a one way speech path prior to call
completion, and generate ringing for the PSTN caller. Any tones or
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 54]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
recordings are generated by NGW 1 and played in this speech path.
When the call completes successfully, NGW 1 bridges the PSTN speech
path with the IP media path.
To reduce the number of messages, only a single proxy server is shown
in these flows, which means that the a.example.com proxy server has
access to the b.example.com location service.

In this scenario, Alice from the PSTN calls Bob through a Network
Gateway NGW1 and Proxy Server Proxy 1. When Bob answers the call,
the media path is setup end-to-end. The call terminates when Alice
hangs up the call, with Alice's telephone switch sending an ISUP
RELease message that is mapped to a BYE by NGW 1.

This "fast answer" scenario is similar to 3.1., except that Bob
immediately accepts the call, sending a 200 OK (F5) without sending a
180 Ringing response. The Gateway then sends an Answer Message (ANM)
without sending an Address Complete Message (ACM). Note that for
ETSI and some other ISUP variants, a CONnect message (CON) would be
sent instead of the ANM.

In this scenario, Alice dials from PBX A to Bob through GW 1 and
Proxy 1. This is an example of a call that appears destined for the
PSTN but is instead routed to a SIP Client.
Signaling between PBX A and GW 1 is Feature Group B (FGB) circuit
associated signaling, in-band Mult-Frequency (MF) outpulsing. After
the receipt of the 180 Ringing from Bob, GW 1 generates a ringing
tone for Alice.
Bob answers the call by sending a 200 OK. The call terminates when
Alice hangs up, causing GW1 to send a BYE.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 68]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
The Gateway can only identify the trunk group that the call came in
on; it cannot identify the individual line on PBX A that is placing
the call. The SIP URI used to identify the caller is shown in these
flows as sip:551313@gw1.a.example.com.

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob through Network Gateway NGW 1 and
Proxy 1. The call is routed to Bob by Proxy 1. The call is rejected
by Bob who sends a 600 Busy Everywhere response. The Gateway sends a
REL message containing a specific Cause value mapped by the gateway
based on the SIP error.
Since no interworking is indicated in the IAM (F1), the busy tone is
generated locally by Alice's telephone switch. In some scenarios,
the busy signal is generated by the Gateway since interworking is
indicated. For more discussion on interworking, refer to [4].

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob through Network Gateway NGW 1 and
Proxy 1. The call is routed to Bob by Proxy 1. The call is rejected
by the Bob client. NGW 1 sets up a two way voice path to Alice and
plays busy tone. The caller then disconnects
NGW 1 plays the busy tone since the IAM (F1) indicates the
interworking is present. In scenario 5.2.2., with no interworking,
the busy indication is carried in the REL Cause value and is
generated locally instead.
Again, note that for ETSI or ITU ISUP, a CONnect message would be
sent instead of the Answer Message.

Alice calls Bob through NGW 1 and Proxy 1. Proxy 1 re-sends the
INVITE after the expiration of SIP timer T1 without receiving any
response from Bob. Bob never responds with 180 Ringing or any other
response (it is reachable but unresponsive). After the expiration of
a timer, Alice's network disconnects the call by sending a Release
message REL. The Gateway maps this to a CANCEL.

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob through NGW 1 and Proxy 1. 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).

In this scenario, Alice calls Bob through NGW 1 and Proxy 1. Bob
does not respond with 200 OK. NGW 1 plays ringing tone since the ACM
indicates that interworking has been encountered. Alice disconnects
the call with a Release message REL which is mapped by NGW 1 to a

CANCEL. Note that if Bob had sent a 200 OK response after the REL,
NGW 1 would have sent an ACK and then a BYE to properly terminate the
call.

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.

In this scenario, Alice in the PSTN calls Carol who is an extension
on a PBX. 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
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 97]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
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.
Johnston, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 113]RFC 3666 SIP PSTN Call Flows December 2003
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.
