Re: [Sipping] I-D on service identification now available



Certainly it should be fine for the phone to be configured with the server to use.

Using a URN is a tradeoff between need for configuration and need for standardization. By using a standard URN you can avoid the need for configuration, while delegating the job of allocating a particular resource to a proxy.

This is not much different from the use of a service:sos URN for emergency calling. In that case we are using standardization to allow delegation of the selection of the PSAP to a proxy.

It does have some of the same issues as service identification. But at least it is not e2e. It is a contract between you and your provider.

If the proxy want to invoke it, it can easily put the full
blown SIP URI in a Route header.

What I'm really questioning is the usefulness of having a URN
as an alias for a SIP URI being signalling on the wire between
the UA and the proxy, just to be replaced by a SIP URI by that
proxy.

I'm just saying that that phone should be able to do that on it's own by having the URI being downloaded in the phone at provision
time.

2) Couldn't we just load

equate
"Call-Recorder-Service" to
"sip:record-service.store=y.format=g711 at recording-server.orig-
domain.com"? I'm not sure I see a huge advantage in having the Outbound proxy do
the substitution versus the client doing it. Especially if automatic provisioning
is used (Config-framework for example).


As for WHY you might do service invocation in a proxy -- perhaps you'd like calls that originate from your old phone (which has no knowledge of a recording service) to be recorded, but only when you call your lawyer. Proxies can certainly do this. I'd maintain that this is one of the few reasons to actually use a proxy. If all the smarts were in the endpoints, we could eliminate proxies and use only location servers and TURN servers.
