Re: [Sip] PING/PONG



This conversation just got too loose with its terminology for me.

3261 proxies have a UAS core.

Endpoints behind the things we are wanting to do this refresh things to can be signaling
directly with endpoints that aren't (a service provider could let people talk to voice-mail
or conference servers directly).


While the long-lived client-to-service-provider-proxy connection is a good example
to use for motivation, I would prefer that we ensure we build something that works
in general.


The DNS solution would work for those the services I call out above. I'm not yet sure
if its the right way to go.


I can see a use for being able to signal (or at least detect) support for this kind of keep-alive
between ephemeral endpoints too.

Sorry, I didn't realise the scope of this discussion was client-to-proxy - that's where my confusion lay.

A further question from my (simplistic) viewpoint... If this issue is/could be generic to all STUNned traffic (not just sip+stun), would it not be better to push the problem down into the STUN 'layer' and let the STUN client and server sort out keeping the NAT bindings alive? I'm guessing that the SIP client already 'knows' it has to use STUN to reach the proxy, and so could ask it's STUN client to keep the binding(s) alive as appropriate.

There isn't a UAS involved here; these requests go from the client (UAC)
to its proxy.


How the proxy indicates to the UAC that it is capable of processing
these keepalives is a good question. My first thought is that this would
be something in DNS; a new service in the NAPTR record for indicating
the sip+stun combination.

Should point 2 read "The user agent server indicates if it can respond to client refresh requests"?

So my understanding is:

1. We should use *only* STUN for refreshing bindings (either UDP or TCP,
what about TLS)


Yes, TLS too. TLS runs ontop of TCP after all.


2. The user agent indicates if it can do it (no negotiation on
capabilities)

3. Refreshing must be done from the client

Can we agree on that?


Yes.

Server originating refreshing is in the wrong direction. It is the
client utilizing the service; if it wishes to make use of that service,
it has to be responsible for refreshing the connection.
