1. Introduction

   This document describes the Media Server Control Markup Language
   (MSCML).  This document describes payloads that one can send with a
   standard SIP INVITE to a media server.  Basic Network Media Services
   with SIP [4] describes media server SIP URI formats.

   Prior to MSCML, there was not a standard way to deliver SIP-based
   enhanced conferencing.  Basic SIP constructs, such as described in
   Basic Network Media Services with SIP [4], serves simple n-way
   conferencing well.  The SIP URI provides a natural mechanism for
   identifying a specific SIP conference, while INVITE and BYE methods
   elegantly implement conference join and leave semantics.  However,
   enhanced conferencing applications also require features such as
   sizing and resizing, in-conference IVR operations (e.g. recording and
   playing participant names to the full conference) and conference
   event reporting.  MSCML payloads within standard SIP methods realize
   these features.

   The structure and approach of MSCML satisfy the requirements set out
   in conferencing-framework [5] and cc-framework [6].  In particular,
   MSCML serves as the interface between the conference factory and a
   centralized conference mixer.  In this case, a media server has the
   role of the conference mixer.

   There are two broad classes of MSCML functionality.  The first class
   includes primitives for advanced conferencing such as conference
   configuration, participant leg manipulation and conference event
   reporting.  The second class comprises primitives for interactive
   voice response (IVR).  These include playing audio, collecting
   digits, and recording audio.

   The IVR features of MSCML originally evolved simply as an adjunct for
   conferencing.  In many scenarios it was impractical or inconvenient
   to establish a dialog with a distinct IVR resource and then re-join
   the conference.  However, MSCML works well for simple IVR such as
   prompt-and-collect for SIP Proxy Servers or Media Gateway
   Controllers.  On the other hand, for complex IVR it may be more
   appropriate to employ a full IVR markup language such as VoiceXML
   [7].

   In general, a media server offers services to SIP UAC's to
   application servers, feature servers, and media gateway controllers.
   See the ISC Reference Architecture [8] for definitions of these
   terms.  It is unlikely, but not prohibited, for end user SIP UAC's to
   have a direct signaling relationship with a media server.

   This document describes a working framework and protocol with which

   there is considerable implementation experience.  Application
   developers and service providers have created several MSCML-based
   services since the initial version was made available more than a
   year ago.  This experience is highly relevant to the ongoing work of
   the IETF, particularly the SIP, SIPPING, and MMUSIC work groups.

2. MSCML Approach

   It is critically important to emphasize the goal of MSCML is to
   provide a development environment that follows the SIP, HTTP, and XML
   development paradigm.  That is, the mixing resource is a server that
   operates on application level constructs such as call participants.

   Some developers may desire low-level of control over DSP resources.
   Examples of such control include path establishment between DSP
   blocks such as tone detectors, tone generators, or other speech
   resources.  For such users, we STRONGLY suggest using a protocol such
   as H.248.1 [9].  Such control does not fit the SIP model.  It may be
   possible to transport such low-level instructions in SIP.  However,
   the programming model moves from the client-server peer paradigm of
   SIP to the master-slave controller model of H.248.1.

   The MSCML paradigm is important to the developer community, in that
   developers and operators conceptually write applications about calls,
   conferences, and call legs.  The H.248.1 paradigm is conceptually
   about resources and plumbing.  That is a whole level of
   implementation details that, for the majority of developers, adds no
   value.

3. Use of SIP Request Methods

   As mentioned above, MSCML payloads may be carried in either SIP
   INVITE or INFO requests.  The initial INVITE, which creates an
   enhanced conference, MUST include an MSCML payload.  The initial
   INVITE, which joins a participant leg to an enhanced conference, MAY
   include an MSCML payload.  All mid-call MSCML payloads are sent via
   SIP INFO requests.

   MSCML responses are transported in the final response to the SIP
   INVITE containing the matching MSCML request or in a SIP INFO
   message.  The only allowable final response to a SIP INFO containing
   a message body is a 200 OK, per RFC2976 [10].  Therefore, when the
   MSCML request is sent via SIP INFO, the MSCML response is carried in
   a separate INFO request.  In general, these responses are
   asynchronous in nature and require a separate transaction due to
   timing considerations.

   There has been considerable debate on the use of the SIP INFO method
   for any purpose.  Our experience is that MSCML would not have been
   possible without it.  When MSCML was implemented the first SIP Event
   Notification draft had just been published.  At that time, use of
   SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY within an existing dialog was undefined.  This
   prevented its use in MSCML since all events occurred in an INVITE
   established dialog.  And while SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY was well suited for
   reporting conference events its semantics seemed inappropriate for
   modifying a participant leg or conference setting where the only
   "event" was the success or failure of the request.  Lastly, since SIP
   INFO was an established RFC it was well supported in all the SIP
   stack implementations available at that time.  We had few if any
   interoperability issues as a result.

   As it turns out, using NOTIFY is not appropriate, as the NOTIFY would
   be in response to an implicit subscription.  The issues of implicit
   subscription have been discussed on the SIP and SIPPING lists.

   Using SUBSRCIBE is not appropriate for two reasons.  The first is
   semantic.  The purpose of SUBSCRIBE is to register interest in User
   Agent state.  However, using SUBSCRIBE for MSCML results in the
   SUBSCRIBE modifying the User Agent state.  The second reason
   SUBSCRIBE is not appropriate is because MSCML is inherently
   call-based.  The association of a SIP dialog with a call leg means
   MSCML can be incredibly straightforward.  For example, if one used
   SUBSCRIBE or other SIP method to send commands about some context,
   one must identify that context somehow.  Relating commands to the SIP
   dialog they arrive on defines the context for free.  Moreover, it is
   conceptually easy for the developer.

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   We have considered the MESSAGE method, as used in, for example, KPML
   [11].  MESSAGE is appropriate for KPML as there is usually only a
   single response to a given KPML document.  However, for MSCML, there
   can be multiple responses to a given request.  Also, mid-call
   requests can go in both directions, which is not the case for KPML.

   Because of the multiple response and peer mid-call request nature of
   MSCML, we also considered MSRP [12].  MSRP may be the appropriate
   technology.  The main benefit of MSRP is that only proxies interested
   in seeing MSCML signaling see the MSCML messages.  This is in
   contrast to the current scheme, where the interested proxies, as well
   as any other proxies that happen to record-route, see the MSCML
   messages.  The trade-off here is that many of the interested proxies
   are border proxies.  In the interest of interoperability, we chose to
   continue using INFO.

   SIP continues to progress incredibly quickly and we will continually
   reevaluate some of the decisions that resulted in the original design
   of MSCML.  However, we can confidently say that the availability of a
   widely supported, flexible request method was very important to the
   development and adoption MSCML.

4. MSCML Usage and Design

   To avoid undue complexity two rules were established regarding MSCML
   usage.  The first is that only one MSCML body may be present in a SIP
   request.  The second is that each MSCML body may contain only one
   request or response.  This greatly simplified transaction management.
   MSCML syntax does provide for the unique identification of multiple
   requests in a single body part but this is not currently allowed.

   Per the guidelines of RFC3470 [13], MSCML bodies MUST be wellformed
   and valid.

5. Advanced Conferencing

   The advanced conferencing model is a star controller model, with both
   signaling and media directed to a central location.  Figure 1 depicts
   a typical signaling relationship between end users' UAC's, a
   conference application server, and a media server.

     +-------+
     | UAC 1 |---\   Public URI  +-------------+
     +-------+    \ _____________| Application |
                   /    /        |   Server    |     Not shown:
     +-------+    /    /         +-------------+     RTP flows directly
     | UAC 2 |---/    /                 | Private    between UAC's and
     +-------+       /                  |   URI      Media Server
         .          /            +--------------+
         :         /             |              |
     +-------+    /              | Media Server |
     | UAC n |---/               |              |
     +-------+                   +--------------+

                       Figure 1: Conference Model

   Each UAC sends an INVITE to a Public Conference URI.  Presumably the
   Application Server publishes this URI, or it is an ad hoc URI.  In
   any event, the Application Server generates a Private URI, following
   the rules specified by Basic Network Media Services with SIP [4].
   That is, the URI is of the form:
   sip:conf=UniqueID@ms.example.net

   Where UniqueID is a unique conference identifier, and ms.example.net
   is the host name or IP address of the media server.  There is nothing
   to prevent the UAC's from contacting the media server directly.
   However, one would expect the owner of the media server to restrict
   who can use media server resources.

   As for basic conferencing, described by Basic Network Media Services
   with SIP [4], the first INVITE to the media server with a UniqueID
   creates a conference.  However, in advanced conferencing, the first
   INVITE includes a MSCML configure_conference payload.  The MSCML
   payload conveys extended session parameters (e.g. number of
   participants) that are not readily expressed in SDP but must be known
   to allocate the appropriate resources.

   The first dialog established for an enhanced conference has several
   useful properties and is referred to as the "Conference Control Leg."
   The control leg is used for play or record audio operations to/from
   the entire conference and no RTP is expected on the Conference
   Control Leg.  Therefore, the application must send either no SDP or



Van Dyke, et al.       Expires December 29, 2003                [Page 9]

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   hold SDP (c=0.0.0.0) in the initial INVITE request.  In addition, the
   lifetime of the conference is the same as that of its control leg.
   This ensures that the conference remains in existence even if one or
   more participant legs unintentionally leaves the conference.

   The <configure_conference> tag has two attributes that control the
   resources the media server sets aside for the conference.  The
   attributes are reservedtalkers and reserveconfmedia.  Reservedtalkers
   sets the maximum number of talker legs.  Reserveconfmedia, if set to
   "Yes", allocates resources for playing or recording audio to or from
   the entire conference.  The default for reserveconfmedia is "Yes".

   The application server can include any MSCML command in the initial
   INVITE, with the exception of asynchronous commands, such as <play>
   or <record>.  The application server must issue asynchronous commands
   separately (e.g., in INFO messages) to avoid ambiguous responses.

   For example, to create a conference with up to 120 active talkers and
   the ability to play audio into the conference or record parts or all
   of the conference, the application server specifies both attributes,
   as shown in Figure 3.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
          <MediaServerControl version="1.0">
            <request>
              <configure_conference reservedtalkers="120"/>
            </request>
          </MediaServerControl>

                  Figure 3: 120 Speaker MSCML Example

   Figure 4 shows a conference with up to five active speakers without
   the capability to play or record audio into the conference.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
          <MediaServerControl version="1.0">
            <request>
              <configure_conference reservedtalkers="5"
                                    reserveconfmedia="no"/>
            </request>
          </MediaServerControl>

                   Figure 4: 5 Speaker MSCML Example

   Once the application server has created the Conference Control Leg,
   the server can join participants to the conference.  The application
   server directs the INVITE to the Private Conference URI described
   above.  In the example given, this would be

   sip:conf=UniqueID@ms.example.net .

   Conference legs have a number of parameters the application server
   can modify.  The defaults are in Figure 5.  The following sections
   will discuss the meaning of the parameters in detail.

      Parameter   Default  Description
      inputgain    auto    Use AGC to determine input gain for leg
      outputgain   auto    Use AGC to determine output gain for leg
      type         talker  Consider this leg's audio for mixing
                                in the output mix
      dtmfclamp    yes     Remove detected DTMF digit from audio
      toneclamp    yes     Remove loud single-frequency tone
                                from audio

                  Figure 5: Conference Leg Parameters

   If the default parameters are acceptable for the leg the application
   server wishes to enter into the conference, then a normal SIP INVITE
   is sufficient.  However, if the application server wishes to modify
   one or more of the parameters, the application server can include a
   MSCML body in addition to the SDP body.

   The application server can modify the conference leg parameters by
   issuing a SIP INFO on the selected dialog representing the conference
   leg.  Of course, the application server cannot modify SDP in an INFO
   message.

   To remove a leg from the conference, the application server issues a
   SIP BYE request on the selected dialog representing the conference
   leg.

   The application server can terminate all legs in a conference by
   issuing a SIP BYE request on the Conference Control Leg.  If one or
   more participants are still in the conference when the media server
   receives a SIP BYE request on the Conference Control Leg, the media
   server issues SIP BYE requests on all of the remaining conference
   legs to ensure clean up of the legs.

   The media server returns a 200 OK to the SIP BYE request as it sends
   BYE requests to the other legs.  This is because we cannot issue a
   provisional response to a non-INVITE request, yet the teardown of the
   other legs may "take a while".

   Once the conference has begun, the application server can manipulate
   the conference as a whole by issuing commands on the Conference Leg.
   For example, the application server can request the media server to
   record the conference, play a prompt to the conference, change the

   input or output gain for the conference as a whole, and report on
   events.  The elements for these commands are <playrecord>, <play>,
   <inputgain>, <outputgain>, and <subscribe>, respectively.

   Figure 6 shows two sample commands.  The first plays a prompt into
   the conference.  The second records the entire conference to the URI
   specified by recurl over NFS.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
          <MediaServerControl version="1.0">
            <request>
              <play

            </request>
          </MediaServerControl>

   The response to this last request will be similar to Figure 7.

   An application server can modify a leg by issuing an INFO on the
   dialog associated with the participant leg.  For example, Figure 9
   mutes a conference leg.

                  Figure 9: Sample Change Leg Command

   In Figure 6 we saw a request to play a prompt to the entire
   conference.  We can also request to play a prompt to an individual
   call leg.  If we want to play a prompt or collect digits only on a
   single leg, we issue the commands within the dialog for the of the
   desired conference participant.

6. Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

   In the IVR model, the Media Server acts as a media processing proxy
   for the UAC.  This is particularly useful when the UAC is a media
   gateway or other device with limited media processing capability.

                        SIP      +--------------+
                    Service URI  | Application  |
                 /---------------|    Server    |

     +-----+/       RTP          |              |
     | UAC |=====================| Media Server |

                                 +--------------+

                          Figure 10: IVR Model

   The IVR service supports basic Interactive Voice Response functions,
   playing announcements, collecting DTMF digits, and recording audio,
   based on Media Server Control Markup Language (MSCML) directives
   added to the message body of a SIP request.  Figure 10 shows the
   signaling relationship between a client UAC, and Application Server,
   and a Media Server.

   Multifunction media servers SHOULD use the URI conventions described
   in Basic Network Media Services with SIP [4].  For review, the IVR
   service indicator is "ivr":
   sip:ivr@ms.example.net

   One may carry the request payload for IVR in either the initial SIP
   INVITE or INFO requests.

   Mid-call requests must use the INFO method.  The INFO method reduces
   certain timing issues that occur with re-INVITES and also uses less
   processing on both the application server and Media Server.

   The Media Server notifies the application that the command has
   completed through a <response> message containing final status
   information and data such as collected DTMF digits.

   The media server does not queue IVR requests.  If the media server
   receives a request while another is in progress, the media server
   stops the first operation and it carries out the new request.  The
   Media Server generates a <response> message for the first request and
   returns any data collected up to that point. If an application wishes



Van Dyke, et al.       Expires December 29, 2003               [Page 14]

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   to stop a request in progress but does not wish to initiate another
   operation, it issues a <stop> request.  This also causes the Media
   Server to generate a <response> message.

   The Media Server treats a SIP re-INVITE with hold media (c=0.0.0.0)
   as an implicit <stop> request.  The media server immediately
   terminates the running <play>, <playcollect> or <playrecord> request,
   and sends a <response>, indicating "reason=stopped".

6.1 Play Audio <play>

   The application issues a <play> request to play an announcement
   without interruption and with no digit collection.  One use, for
   example, is to announce the name of a new participant to the entire
   conference.

   The application specifies the announcement to play by the prompt
   block in the body of the request.

   Attributes include promptencoding (optional), which explicitly
   specifies the encoding (mu-law or A-law), and id (also optional).  ID
   is an application-defined request identifier that correlates the
   asynchronous response with its original request and echoes back to
   the application in the Media Server's response.

   When the announcement has finished playing, the Media Server sends a
   <response=> payload to the application in a SIP INFO message.

   The response may carry the id, the status code (e.g., 200), the
   status text (e.g., OK), and the reason (EOF or stopped).

6.2 Collect Digits <playcollect>

   The application issues a <playcollect> request to optionally play an
   announcement and then collect digits.

   This request has multiple attributes, all of which are optional.

   The presence or absence of the prompt block controls whether there
   will be an announcement or the result of the request is to be digit
   collection only.

   Whenever the media server receives a <playcollect> request, it will
   continuously buffer and examine collected digits.  The media server
   compares previously buffered digits to the returnkey, escapekey, and
   maxdigits attributes to determine if any immediate action is
   required.  This provides the type-ahead behavior for menu traversal
   and other types of IVR interactions.



Van Dyke, et al.       Expires December 29, 2003               [Page 15]

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   The application may override type-ahead behavior by setting the
   cleardigits parameter to "yes", which removes all previously-buffered
   digits such that the only user input considered is what occurs after
   the request.

   If cleardigits is set to "no", digits previously buffered will result
   in the prompt being barged immediately.  Prompt play would never
   begin, and digit collection would start immediately.

   The default for barge is "yes".  If the barge attribute is set to
   "no", the cleardigits attribute implicitly has a value of "yes".
   This ensures that DTMF input occurring before the current collection
   is not left in the buffer after the request completes.

   The application can set two special digits to invoke special
   processing when detected:

   o  The escapekey, which defaults to *, indicates that the user
      intends to terminate the current operation without saving any
      input collected to that point.  Detection terminates the request
      immediately and generates a response.

   o  The returnkey, which defaults to #, indicates the user has
      completed input and wants to return all collected digits to the
      application.  When the media server detects the returnkey, it
      immediately terminates collection and returns the collected digits
      to the application in the <response> message.

   Several timer attributes control how long the Media Server waits for
   digits in the input sequence.  All timer settings are in
   milliseconds.

   firstdigittimer controls how long the Media Server waits for the
      initial DTMF input before terminating collection.

   interdigittimer controls how long the Media Server waits between DTMF
      inputs.

   extradigittimer controls how long the Media Server waits for
      additional user input after the specified number of digits have
      been collected.

   The extradigittimer setting enables the "returnkey" input to be
   associated with the current collection.  For example, if maxdigits is
   set to 3 and returnkey is set to #, the user may enter either "x#",
   "xx#" or "xxx#", where x represents a DTMF digit.

   If the "returnkey" pattern is detected during the "extradigit"



Van Dyke, et al.       Expires December 29, 2003               [Page 16]

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   interval, the collected digits are returned to the application and
   the "returnkey" is removed from the digit buffer.

   If this were not the case, the example would return "xxx" to the
   application and leave the terminating "#" in the digit buffer to be
   processed by the next <playcollect> request.  This might result in
   the termination of the following prompt; clearly not what the user
   intended.

   The extradigittimer has no effect unless returnkey has been set.

   When the <playcollect> has finished playing, the Media Server sends a
   <response> payload to the application in a SIP INFO message.

   The response may carry the id, the code (e.g., 200), the text(e.g.,
   OK), the reason (match, timeout, returnkey, escapekey, or stopped),
   and the collected digits.

6.3 Recording Audio <playrecord>

   The <playrecord> request directs the Media Server to capture the RTP
   it receives and deliver it to a URL specified by the controlling
   application.

   This tag has multiple attributes. The required recurl attribute
   identifies the URL target for the recorded audio.  All other
   attributes are optional.

   The presence or absence of the prompt block controls whether or not a
   prompt plays before recording begins.

   When the application requests the media server to prompt the caller
   before recording audio, <playrecord> has two stages.  The first is
   equivalent to a <playcollect> operation.  The application may set the
   prompt phase to be interruptible by DTMF input (barge) and may also
   specify an escape key that will terminate the <playrecord> request
   before the recording phase begins.

   Detection of the escape key generates a response message, and the
   operation returns immediately.  If any other keys are pressed and if
   the prompt has been set as interruptible (barge="yes"), then the play
   stops immediately and the recording phase begins.

   Any digits collected in the prompt phase, with the exception of the
   recstopmask, are buffered and returned in the response.

   If the request proceeds to the recording phase, any digits from the
   collect phase are discarded from the buffer to eliminate unintended



Van Dyke, et al.       Expires December 29, 2003               [Page 17]

Internet-Draft                   MSCML                         June 2003


   termination of the recording.

   The media server compares digits detected during the recording phase
   to the digits specified in the recstopmask to determine if they
   indicate a recording termination request.

   The media server ignores digits not present in the recstopmask and
   passes them into the recording.  If the recording is terminated
   because of a DTMF input, the collected digits are returned to the
   application in the <response>.

   Once recording has begun, the media server writes the audio to the
   specified recurl URL no matter what DTMF events are detected.  It is
   the responsibility of the application to examine the DTMF input
   returned in the <response> message to determine whether the audio
   file should be saved or if it should be deleted and potentially
   re-recorded.

   Two attributes control how long the Media Server waits for the start
   of speech to begin the recording and the absence of speech to end the
   recording:

   initsilence determines how long to wait for initial speech input
      before terminating (canceling) the recording.  This parameter may
      take an integer value in milliseconds, or may be set to -1, which
      directs the Media Server to wait indefinitely. The default is 3000
      ms (3 seconds).

   endsilence determines how long the Media Server waits after speech
      has ended to stop the recording.  This parameter may take an
      integer value in milliseconds, or may be set to -1. With a value
      of -1, the recording will continue indefinitely after speech has
      ended and may terminate due to a DTMF keypress or because the
      maximum desired duration has been reached. The default value is
      4000 ms (4 seconds).

   If the endsilence timer expires, the Media Server trims the end of
   the recorded audio by an amount equal to the endsilence parameter.

   Additional attributes are:

   mode whether the recording will overwrite or append.

   reencoding whether encoding is mu-law or A-law.

   duration time in ms for the entire recording.

   beep whether a beep will signify the start of recording.

   When the recording is finished, the media server generates a
   <response> message and sends it to the application in a SIP INFO
   message.  The response contains the id, the code (e.g., 200, 400,
   501), the reason (e.g., digit, end_silence, init_silence,
   max_duration, escapekey, error, or stopped), collected digits, and
   the reclength (size of the recorded file in bytes).

6.4 Stop Request <stop>

   The application issues a <stop> request when the objective is to stop
   a request in progress and not initiate another operation. This
   request generates a <response> message from the Media Server.

   The only attribute is id, which is optional.

   The application-defined request id correlates the asynchronous
   response with its original request and echoes back to the application
   in the Media Server's response.

   The response may carry the id, the code (e.g., 200), and the text
   (e.g., OK).

   Note that the Media Server treats a SIP re-INVITE with hold media
   (c=0.0.0.0) as an implicit <stop> request.  The media server
   immediately terminates the running <play>, <playcollect> or
   <playrecord> request, and sends a <response>, indicating
   "reason=stopped".

6.5 Prompt Block <prompt>

   This block in the body of the <play>, <playcollect>, or <playrecord>
   request contains one or more references to physical audio files,
   provisioned sequences, or variables that are played in the order in
   which they appear.

   Figure 12 shows a sample prompt block.

       <prompt baseurl="file:////opt/snowshore/prompts/conf/">
   		<audio url="please_enter.wav"/>
   		<variable type="silence" value="1"/>
   		<audio url="your.raw" encoding="a-law"/>
   		<variable type="silence" value="1"/>
   		<audio
    		   url="http://prompts.example.net/pin_number.wav"/>
        </prompt>

                 Figure 12: Active Talker Event Example

   The baseurl attribute is the base URL prepended to the URL attributes
   within the <prompt> block.

   Each audio element in a <prompt> block refers to an audio file or
   provisioned sequence for the media server to play.  The media server
   plays audio files in the order in which they are listed in the block.

6.6 Recording Fax <faxrecord>

   The <faxrecord> request directs the Media Server to process a fax in
   answer mode.  The reason for a separate tag from the <playrecord> tag
   is because the Media Server needs to know to process the T.30 [14] or
   T.38 [15] fax protocols.

   This tag has multiple attributes.  The lclid attribute is a string
   that identifies the called station.  The lclid attribute is optional.
   The default is null.

   The <faxrecord> request operates in one of three modes: receive,
   poll, and turnaround poll.

   In receive mode, the Media Server receives the fax and writes the fax
   data to the URI specified by the recurl attribute.

   In poll mode, the Media Server sends a fax, but as a polled (called)
   device.

   In turnaround poll mode, the Media Server will record a fax that the
   remote machine sends.  If the remote machine requests a transmission,
   then the Media Server will send the fax.

   The recurl attribute is the URI to record the fax to, if specified.

   The prompturl attribute is the URI to fetch the fax to transmit, if
   specified.

   The rmtid attribute specifies the calling station identifier of the
   remote terminal.  If specified, the media server MUST reject
   transactions with the remote terminal if the remote terminal's
   identifier does not match rmtid.

   The combination of prompturl and recurl define the mode.  See Table
   1.

                       Table 1: Fax Receive Modes

   The Media Server MUST flush any quarantined digits when it receives a
   <faxrecord> request.

6.7 Sending Fax <faxplay>

   The <faxplay> request directs the Media Server to process a fax in
   originate mode.  The reason for a separate tag from the <play> tag is
   because the Media Server needs to know to process the T.30 [14] or
   T.38 [15] fax protocols.

   This tag has multiple attributes.  The lclid attribute is a string
   that identifies the Media Server as the calling station in the DIS
   message.  The lclid attribute is optional.  The default is null.

   The <faxplay> request operates in one of three modes: send, remote
   poll, and turnaround poll.

   In send mode, the Media Server sends the fax.

   In remote poll mode, the Application Server places a call on behalf
   of the Media Server.  The Media Server requests a fax transmission
   from the remote fax terminal.

   In turnaround poll mode, the Media Server will record a fax that the
   remote machine sends.  If the remote machine requests a transmission,
   then the Media Server will send the fax.

   The recurl attribute is the URI to record the fax to, if specified.
   The Media Server will advertise in the DIS message it can receive
   fax transmissions.

   The prompturl attribute is the URI to fetch the fax to transmit, if
   specified.  The Media Server will advertise in the DIS message it can
   send fax transmissions.

   The rmtid attribute specifies the calling station identifier of the
   remote terminal.  If specified, the media server MUST reject
   transactions with the remote terminal if the remote terminal's
   identifier does not match rmtid.

   The combination of prompturl and recurl define the mode.  See Table
   2.

7. Response Attributes and Return Codes

7.1 SIP

   The Media Server acknowledges receipt of an application request by
   sending a response of either 200 OK or 415 BAD MEDIA TYPE.  (The
   latter is sent when the SIP request contains a content type other
   than "application/sdp" or "application/mediaservercontrol+xml").

   The <response> message is transported in a SIP INFO request.

   If there is an error in the request or the request cannot be
   completed, the <response> message is sent very shortly after
   receiving the request. If the request is able to proceed, the
   <response> contains final status information as listed below.

7.2 HTTP

   The Media Server processes the request and returns a <response>
   message in the body of the http POST.  The media server treats the
   results of the post as if a new MSCML file was sent in a new INFO
   message.

7.3 <response> Attributes

   If the request specified an ID, the response will echoed the ID.

   The "code" is the result code for the request.  It can take the
   following values.

   o  200 indicates command completed.

   o  400 for <playrecord>, <faxrecord>, and <faxplay> indicates command
      not accepted due to an error. The text attribute describes the
      cause of the error.

   o  501 for <playrecord>, <faxrecord>, and <faxplay> indicates an
      error because the media server does not support the URL type
      specified.

   The "digits" are the returned digits for <playcollect> and
   <playrecord>.  Its value is the collected digits, if any.

   The "reason" is why the command terminated.  For all requests, the
   reason "stopped" indicates that a <stop> request, another command, or
   a re-INVITE with hold media stopped the request.

   For the <play> request, the "EOF" reason means the media server

   played out to the end of the file.

   For the <playcollect> request, a reason of "match" means a match was
   found; "timeout" means no digit was received before the time-out
   timer expired; "returnkey" and "escapekey" means the return key or
   escape key terminated the operation, respectively; and "interrupted"
   means another request interrupted the <playcollect> request.

   For the <playrecord> request, a reason of "digit" means a digit was
   detected; "end_silence" means the recording terminated because the
   trailing silence timer expired; "init_silence" means that no voice
   was detected; "max_duration" means the recording terminated because
   the maximum time for recording completed; "escapekey" means the user
   entered the escape key in either play or record mode, thus
   terminating the recording; or "error", for a general operation
   failure.

   For the <faxplay> and <faxrecord> requests, a reason of "complete"
   means successful completion, even if there were bad lines or minor
   negotiation problems, i.e., a DCN was received; "disconnect" means
   the session was disconnected; "notfax" means no DIS or DCS was
   received on the connection.

   The "reclength" is the length of the recording in bytes for a
   <playrecord>.

   The "text" is the descriptive text associated with the response code.

   For the <faxplay> and <faxrecord> requests, the faxcode attribute is
   the binary-or of the following bit patterns.

9. IANA Considerations

9.1 IANA Registration of MIME media type application/
    mediaservercontrol+xml

   MIME media type name: application

   MIME subtype name: mediaservercontrol+xml

   Required parameters: none

   Optional parameters: charset



      charset This parameter has identical semantics to the charset
         parameter of the "application/xml" media type as specified in
         XML Media Types [3].

   Encoding considerations: See RFC3023 [3].

   Interoperability considerations: See RFC2023 [3] and this document.

   Published specification: This document.

   Applications which use this media type: Multimedia, enhanced
   conferencing and interactive applications.

   Intended usage: COMMON

10. Security Considerations

   Because media flows through a media server in a conference, the media
   server itself MUST protect the integrity, confidentiality, and
   security of the sessions.  It should not be possible for a conference
   participant, on her own behalf, to be able to "tap in" to another
   conference without proper authorization.

   Because conferencing is a high value application, the media server
   SHOULD implement appropriate security measures.  This includes, but
   not limited to, access lists for application servers.  That is, only
   a select list of application or proxy servers is allowed to create
   conferences, invite participants to sessions, etc.  Note that the
   mechanisms for such security, like private networks, shared
   certificates, MAC white/black lists, are beyond the scope of this
   document.

   As an XML markup, all of the security considerations of RFC3023 [3]
   apply.
