1. Introduction

Service providers and enterprises use registries to make call or session routing decisions for Voice over IP, SMS and MMS traffic exchanges. This document is narrowly focused on the provisioning protocol for these registries. This protocol prescribes a way for an entity to provision session-related data into a registry. The data being provisioned can be optionally shared with other participating peering entities. The requirements and use cases driving this protocol have been documented in [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements]. The reader is expected to be familiar with the terminology defined in the previously mentioned document.

Three types of provisioning flows have been described in the use case document: client to registry provisioning, registry to local data repository and registry-to-registry. This document addresses a subset (client-to-registry provisioning) by defining a Session Peering Provisioning Protocol (SPPP) for provisioning Session Establishment Data (SED) into a Registry (arrow "1" in the figure below). While the other "provisioning flows" are shown below as separate message flows, no determination has been made for whether one common baseline protocol could be used for all three, or whether distinct protocols are required.

Three Registry Provisioning Flows

The data provisioned for session establishment is typically used by various downstream SIP signaling systems to route a call to the next hop associated with the called domain. These systems typically use a local data store ("Local Data Repository") as their source of session routing information. More specifically, the SED data is the set of parameters that the outgoing signaling path border elements (SBEs) need to initiate the session. See [RFC5486] for more details.

A "terminating" SIP Service Provider (SSP) provisions SED into the registry to be selectively shared with other peer SSPs. Subsequently, a Registry may distribute the provisioned data into local Data Repositories used for look-up queries (identifier -> URI) or for lookup and location resolution (identifier -> URI -> ingress SBE of terminating SSP). In some cases, the Registry may additionally offer a central query resolution service (not shown in the above figure).

A key requirement for the SPPP protocol is to be able to accommodate two basic deployment scenarios:

  1. A Local Data Repository serves a Look-Up Function (LUF) to determine the target domain to assist in call routing (as described in [RFC5486]). In this case, the querying entity may use other means to perform the Location Routing Function (LRF) which in turn helps determine the actual location of the Signaling Function in that domain.
  2. A Local Data Repository serves both a Look-Up function (LUF) and Location Routing Function (LRF) to locate the SED data fully.

In terms of protocol design, SPPP protocol is agnostic to the transport. This document includes the description of the data model and the means to enable protocol operations within a request and response structure. To encourage interoperability, the protocol supports extensibility aspects.

Transport requirements are provided in this document to help with the selection of the optimum transport mechanism. ([I-D.ietf-drinks-sppp-over-soap]) identifies a SOAP transport mechanism for SPPP.

This document is organized as follows:

2. Terminology

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 [RFC2119].

This document reuses terms from [RFC3261], [RFC5486], use cases and requirements documented in [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements] and the ENUM Validation Architecture [RFC4725].

In addition, this document specifies the following additional terms:

SPPP:
Session Peering Provisioning Protocol, the protocol used to provision data into a Registry (see arrow labeled "1." in Figure 1 of [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements]). It is the primary scope of this document.

SPDP:
Session Peering Distribution Protocol, the protocol used to distribute data to Local Data Repository (see arrow labeled "2." in Figure 1 of [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements]).

Client:
An application that supports an SPPP Client; it is sometimes referred to as a "Registry Client".

Registry:
The Registry operates a master database of Session Establishment Data for one or more Registrants.

A Registry acts as an SPPP Server.

Registrant:
In this document, we extend the definition of a Registrant based on [RFC4725]. The Registrant is the end-user, the person or organization who is the "holder" of the Session Establishment Data being provisioned into the Registry. For example, in [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements], a Registrant is pictured as a SIP Service Provider in Figure 2.

A Registrant is uniquely identified by its ID.

Registrar:
In this document, we also extend the definition of a Registrar from [RFC4725]. A Registrar performs provisioning operations on behalf of a Registrant by interacting with the Registry, in our case via the SPPP protocol defined in this document.

A Registrar is identified by its ID.

3. Protocol High Level Design

This section introduces the structure of the data model and provides the information framework for the SPPP protocol. An overview of the protocol operations is first provided with a typical deployment scenario. The data model is then defined along with all the objects manipulated by the protocol and their relationships.

3.1. Protocol Layering

SPPP is a simple request/reply protocol that allows a client application to submit provisioning data and query requests to a server. The SPPP data structures are designed to be protocol agnostic. Concerns regarding encryption, non-repudiation, and authentication are beyond the scope of this document. For more details, please refer to the Transport Protocol Requirements section.

SPPP Layering

SPPP can be viewed as a set of layers that collectively define the structure of an SPPP request and response. Layers 1 and 2, as detailed below, are left to separate specifications to allow for potentially multiple SPPP transport, envelope, and authentication technologies. This document defines layers 3, 4, and 5 below.

  1. The transport protocol layer provides a communication mechanism between the client and server. SPPP can be layered over any transport protocol that provides a set of basic requirements defined in the Transport Protocol Requirements section.
  2. The message envelope layer is optional, but can provide features that are above the transport technology layer but below the application messaging layer. Technologies such as HTTP and SOAP are examples of messaging envelope technologies.
  3. The message layer provides a simple, envelope-independent and transport-independent, SPPP wrapper for SPPP request and response messages.
  4. The operation layer defines the set of base SPPP actions that can be invoked for a given object data type using an SPPP message. Operations are encoded using XML encoded actions and objects.
  5. The data object layer defines the base set of SPPP data objects that can be included in update operations or returned in operation responses.

3.2. Protocol Data Model

The data model illustrated and described in Figure 3 defines the logical objects and the relationships between these objects that the SPPP protocol supports. SPPP defines the protocol operations through which an SPPP Client populates a Registry with these logical objects. Various clients belonging to different Registrars may use the protocol for populating the Registry's data.

The logical structure presented below is consistent with the terminology and requirements defined in [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements].

SPPP Data Model

The objects and attributes that comprise the data model can be described as follows (objects listed from the bottom up):

4. Transport Protocol Requirements

This section provides requirements for transport protocols suitable for SPPP. More specifically, this section specifies the services, features, and assumptions that SPPP delegates to the chosen transport and envelope technologies.

Two different groups of use cases are specified in [I-D.ietf-drinks-usecases-requirements]. One group of use cases describes the provisioning of data by a client into a Registry (Section 3.1 of the above referenced document), while the other group describes the distribution of data into local data repositories (Section 3.2). The current version of this document focuses on the first set of use cases (client to registry provisioning).

These use cases may involve the provisioning of very small data sets like the modification or update of a single public identifier. Other provisioning operations may deal with huge datasets like the "download" of a whole local number portability database to a Registry.

As a result, a transport protocol for SPPP must be very flexible and accommodate various sizes of data set sizes.

For the reasons outlined above, it is conceivable that provisioning and distributing may use different transport protocols. This document focuses on the provisioning protocol.

4.1. Connection Oriented

The SPPP protocol follows a model where a Client establishes a connection to a Server in order to further exchange provisioning transactions over such point-to-point connection. A transport protocol for SPPP MUST therefore be connection oriented.

Note that the role of the "Client" and the "Server" only applies to the connection, and those roles are not related in any way to the type of entity that participates in a protocol exchange. For example, a Registry might also include a "Client" when such a Registry initiates a connection (for example, for data distribution to SSP).

4.2. Request and Response Model

Provisioning operations in SPPP follow the request - response model, where a transaction is initiated by a Client using a Request command, and the Server responds to the Client by means of a Response.

Multiple subsequent request-response exchanges MAY be performed over a single connection.

Therefore, a transport protocol for SPPP MUST follow the request-response model by allowing a response to be sent to the request initiator.

4.3. Connection Lifetime

Some use cases involve provisioning a single request to a network element - connections supporting such provisioning requests might be short-lived, and only established on demand.

Other use cases involve either provisioning a huge set of data, or a constant stream of small updates, which would require long-lived connections.

Therefore, a protocol suitable for SPPP SHOULD support short lived as well as long lived connections.

4.4. Authentication

Many use cases require the Server to authenticate the Client, and potentially also the Client to authenticate the Server. While authentication of the Server by the Client is expected to be used only to prevent impersonation of the Server, authentication of the Client by the Server is expected to be used to identify and further authorize the Client to certain resources on the Server.

Therefore, an SPPP transport protocol MUST provide means for a Server to authenticate and authorize a Client, and MAY provide means for Clients to authenticate a Server.

4.5. Confidentiality and Integrity

Data that is transported over the protocol is deemed confidential. Therefore, a transport protocol suitable for SPPP MUST ensure confidentiality and integrity protection by providing encryption capabilities.

Additionally, a DRINKS protocol MUST NOT use an unreliable lower-layer transport protocol that does not provide confidentiality and integrity protection.

4.6. Near Real Time

Many use cases require near real-time responses from the Server. Therefore, a DRINKS transport protocol MUST support near-real-time response to requests submitted by the Client.

4.7. Request and Response Sizes

SPPP covers a range of use cases - from cases where provisioning a single public identifier will create very small request and response sizes to cases where millions of data records are submitted or retrieved in one transaction. Therefore, a transport protocol suitable for SPPP MUST support a great variety of request and response sizes.

A transport protocol MAY allow splitting large chunks of data into several smaller chunks.

4.8. Request and Response Correlation

A transport protocol suitable for SPPP MUST allow responses to be correlated with requests.

4.9. Request Acknowledgement

Data transported in the SPPP protocol is likely crucial for the operation of the communication network that is being provisioned.

Failed transactions can lead to situations where a subset of public identifiers (or even SSPs) might not be reachable, or situations where the provisioning state of the network is inconsistent.

Therefore, a transport protocol for SPPP MUST provide a Response for each Request, so that a Client can identify whether a Request succeeded or failed.

4.10. Mandatory Transport

As of this writing of this revision, one transport protocol proposal has been provided in [I-D.ietf-drinks-sppp-over-soap].

This section will define a mandatory transport protocol to be compliant with this RFC.

5. Base Protocol Data Structures

SPPP uses a common model and a common set of data structures for most of the supported operations and object types. This section describes these common data structures.

5.1. Request and Response Structures

An SPPP client interacts with an SPPP server by using one of the supported transport mechanisms to send one or more requests to the server and receive corresponding replies from the server. There are two generalized types of operations that an SPPP client can submit to an SPPP server, updates and queries. The following two sub-sections describe the generalized data structures that are used for each of these two types of operations.

5.1.1. Update Request and Response Structures

An SPPP update request is wrapped within the <spppUpdateRequest> element while an SPPP update response is wrapped within an <spppUpdateResponse> element. The following two sub-sections describe these two elements.

5.1.1.1. Update Request

An SPPP update request object is contained within the generic <spppUpdateRequest> element.

                
                
  <element name="spppUpdateRequest">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="clientTransId" type="spppb:TransIdType" 
                 minOccurs="0"/>
        <element name="minorVer" type="spppb:MinorVerType" 
                 minOccurs="0"/>
        <element name="rqstObj" type="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType" 
                 maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      </sequence>
    </complexType>
  </element>
  
  <simpleType name="TransIdType">
    <restriction base="string"/>
  </simpleType>
  
  <simpleType name="MinorVerType">
    <restriction base="unsignedLong"/>
  </simpleType>

                 
              

The data elements within the <spppUpdateRequest> element are described as follows:

All update request objects extend the base type BasicUpdateRqstType. This base type is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="BasicUpdateRqstType" abstract="true">
    <sequence>
      <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
                                
            

The BasicUpdateRqstType object primarily acts as an abstract base type, and its only data element is described as follows:

5.1.1.2. Update Response

An SPPP update response object is contained within the generic <spppUpdateResponse> element.

                
  <element name="spppUpdateResponse">
    <complexType>

An <spppUpdateResponse> contains the elements necessary for the SPPP client to precisely determine the overal result of the request, and if an error occurred, it provides information about the specific object, data element, or condition caused the error.

The data elements within the SPPP update response are described as follows:

5.1.2. Query Request and Response Structures

An SPPP query request is wrapped within the <spppQueryRequest> element while an SPPP query response is wrapped within an <spppQueryResponse> element. The following two sub-sections describe these two element structures.

5.1.2.1. Query Request

An SPPP query request object is contained within the generic <spppQueryRequest> element.

                
  <element name="spppQueryRequest">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="minorVer" type="spppb:MinorVerType" 
            minOccurs="0"/>
        <element name="rqstObj" type="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType"/>
      </sequence>
    </complexType>
  </element>
                 
              

The data elements within the <spppQueryRequest> element are described as follows:

All query request objects extend the base type BasicQueryRqstType. This base type is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="BasicQueryRqstType" abstract="true">
    <sequence>
      <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
              
            

The BasicQueryRqstType object primarily acts as an abstract base type, and its only data element is described as follows:

5.1.2.2. Query Response

An SPPP query response object is contained within the generic <spppQueryResponse> element.

                
  <element name="spppQueryResponse">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="overallResult" type="spppb:ResultCodeType"/>
        <element name="resultSet" type="spppb:BasicObjType" 
           minOccurs="0" maxOccurs=" unbounded"/>
      </sequence>
    </complexType>
  </element>
                 
              

An <spppQueryResponse> contains the elements necessary for the SPPP client to precisely determine the overal result of the query, and if an error occurred, exactly what condition caused the error.

The data elements within the SPPP query response are described as follows:

5.2. Response Codes and Messages

This section contains the listing of response codes and their corresponding human-readable text.

The response code numbering scheme generally adheres to the theory formalized in section 4.2.1 of [RFC5321]:

The response codes are also categorized as to whether they are overall response codes that may only be returned in the "overallResult" data element in SPPP responses, of object level response codes that may only be returned in the "rqstObjResult" element of the SPPP responses.

Response Codes Numbering Scheme and Messages
Result Code Result Message Overall or Object Level
1000 Request Succeeded. Overall Response Code
2001 Request syntax invalid. Overall Response Code
2002 Request too large. Overall Response Code
2003 Version not supported. Overall Response Code
2103 Command invalid. Overall Response Code
2301 System temporarily unavailable. Overall Response Code
2302 Unexpected internal system or server error. Overall Response Code
2104 Attribute value invalid. AttrName:[AttributeName] AttrVal:[AttributeValue] Object Level Response Code
2105 Object does not exist. AttrName:[AttributeName] AttrVal:[AttributeValue] Object Level Response Code
2106 Object status or ownership does not allow for operation. AttrName:[AttributeName] AttrVal:[AttributeValue] Object Level Response Code

Each of the object level response messages are "parameterized" with the following parameters: "AttributeName" and "AttributeValue".

The use of these parameters MUST adhere to the following rules:

5.3. Basic Object Type and Organization Identifiers

This section introduces the basic object type that most first class objects derive from.

All first class objects extend the basic object type BasicObjType which contains the identifier of the registrant organization that owns this object, the identifier of the registrar organization that provisioned this object, the date and time that the object was created by the server, and the date and time that the object was last modified.

              
  <complexType name="BasicObjType" abstract="true">
    <sequence>
      <element name="rant" type="spppb:OrgIdType"/>
      <element name="rar" type="spppb:OrgIdType"/>
      <element name="cDate" type="dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
      <element name="mDate" type="dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
      <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>

                        
            

The identifiers used for registrants (rant), registrars (rar) and peering organizations (peeringOrg) are instances of OrgIdType. The OrgIdType is defined as a string and all OrgIdType instances SHOULD follow the textual convention: "namespace:value" (for example "iana-en:32473"). See the IANA Consideration section for more details.

6. Protocol Commands

This section provides a description of each supported protocol command.

6.1. Add Destination Group Operation

As described in the introductory sections, a Destination Group represents a set of Public Identifiers with common routing information.

The AddDestGrpRqstType operation creates or overwrites a Destination Group object. If a Destination Group with the given name and registrant ID (which together comprise the unique key for a Destination Group) does not exist, then the server MUST create the Destination Group. If a Destination Group with the given name and registrant ID does exist, then the server MUST replace the current properties of the Destination Group with the properties passed into the AddDestGrpsRqstType operation. The XSD declarations of the operation request object are as follows:

              
  <complexType name="AddDestGrpRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="destGrp" type="spppb:DestGrpType"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an element of type AddDestGrpRqsttype, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains a DestGrpType object. The DestGrpType object structure is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="DestGrpType">
    <complexContent>
     <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">
      <sequence>
         <element name="dgName" type="spppb:ObjNameType"/>
      </sequence>
     </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The DestGrpType object is composed of the following elements:

As with the responses to all update operations, the result of the AddDestGrpRqstType operation is contained in the generic spppUpdateResponse data structure described in an earlier sections of this document. For a detailed description of the spppUpdateResponse data structure refer to that section of the document.

6.2. Get Destination Groups Operation

The getDestGrpsRqst operation allows a client to get the properties of Destination Group objects that a registrar organization is authorized to view. The server will attempt to find a Destination Group object that has the registrant ID and destination group name pair contained in each ObjKeyType object instance. If there are no matching Destination Groups found then an empty result set will be returned. If the set of ObjKeyType objects passed in is empty then the server will return the list of Destination Group objects that the querying registrar has the authority to view.

The element passed into the spppQueryRequest element for this operation is an instance of type GetDestGrpsRqstType, which extends BasicQueryRqstType and contains zero or more ObjKeyType objects. Any limitation on the maximum number of objects that may be passed into or returned by this operation is a policy decision and not limited by the protocol. The XSD declaration of the operation is as follows:

              
  <complexType name="GetDestGrpsRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="objKey" type="spppb:ObjKeyType"
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

As described in an earlier section of this document, the result of any spppQueryRequest operation is an spppQueryResponse element that contains the overall response code and the query result set, if any. Refer to that section of the document for a detailed description of the spppQueryResponse element.

6.3. Add Public Identifier Operation

A Public Identifier is the search key used for locating the session establishment data (SED). In many cases, a Public Identifier is attributed to the end user who has a retail relationship with the service provider or registrant organization. SPPP supports the notion of the carrier-of-record as defined in RFC 5067. Therefore, the Registrant under which the Public Identity is being created can optionally claim to be a carrier-of-record.

SPPP identifies two types of Public Identifiers: telephone numbers (TN), and the routing numbers (RN). SPPP provides structures to manage a single TN, a contiguous range of TNs, and a TN prefix.

The abstract XML schema type definition PubIDType is a generalization for the concrete the Public Identifier schema types. PubIDType element 'dgName' represents the name of the destination group that a given Public Identifier is a member of. Because a Destination Group is uniquely identified by its composite business key, which is comprised of its Registrant ID, rantId, and its name, dgName, the Public Identity's containing Destination Group is identified by the Public Identity's dgName element and the Public Identity's registrant ID, rantId, element. The PubIDType object structure is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="PubIdType" abstract="true">
    <complexContent>
     <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">
       <sequence>
         <element name="dgName" type="spppb:ObjNameType" minOccurs="0"/>
       </sequence>
     </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
               
           

A registrant can add a Public Identifier using the AddPubIdRqstType operation. To complete the add request, AddPubIdRqstType XML instance is populated into the <spppUpdateRequest> element. A Public Identifier may provisioned as a member of a Destination Group or provisioned outside of a Destination Group. A Public Identifier that is provisioned as a member of a Destionation Group is intended to be associated with its SED through the Route Group(s) that are associated with its containing Destination Group. A Public Identifier that is not provisioned as a member of a Destionation Group is intended to be associated with its SED through the Route Records that are directly associated with the Public Identifier. If a Public Identifier being added already exists then that Public Identifier will be replaced with the newly provisioned Public Identifier.

A telephone number is provisioned using the TNType, an extension of PubIDType. Each TNType object is uniquely identified by the combination of its tn element, and the unique key of its parent Destination Group (dgName and rantId). In other words a given telephone number string may exist within one or more Destination Groups, but must not exist more than once within a Destination Group. TNType is defined as follows:

                
  <complexType name="TNType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:PubIdType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="tn" type="string"/>
          <element name="rrRef" type="spppb:RteRecRefType" 
             minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
          <element name="corInfo" type="spppb:CORInfoType" 
             minOccurs="0"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
               
              

TNType consists of the following attributes:

A routing number is provisioned using the RNType, an extension of PubIDType. SSPs that possess the number portability data may be able to leverage the RN search key to discover the ingress routes for session establishment. Therefore, the registrant organization can add the RN and associate it with the appropriate destination group to share the route information. Each RNType object is uniquely identified by the combination of its rn element, and the unique key of its parent Destination Group (dgName and rantId). In other words a given routing number string may exist within one or more Destination Groups, but must not exist more than once within a Destination Group. RNType is defined as follows:

                
  <complexType name="RNType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:PubIdType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="rn" type="string" default="true"/>
          <element name="corInfo" type="spppb:CORInfoType" 
               minOccurs="0"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                 
              

RNType has the following attributes:

TNRType structure is used to provision a contiguous range of telephone numbers. The object definition requires a starting TN and an ending TN that together define the span of the TN range. Use of TNRType is particularly useful when expressing a TN range that does not include all the TNs within a TN block or prefix. The TNRType definition accommodates the open number plan as well such that the TNs that fall between the start and end TN range may include TNs with different length variance. Whether the Registry can accommodate the open number plan semantics is a matter of policy and is beyond the scope of this document. Each TNRType object is uniquely identified by the combination of its startTn and endTn elements, and the unique key of its parent Destination Group (dgName and rantId). In other words a given TN Range may exist within one or more Destination Groups, but must not exist more than once within a Destination Group. TNRType object structure definition is as follows:

                
  <complexType name="TNRType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:PubIdType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="startTn" type="string"/>
          <element name="endTn" type="string"/>
          <element name="corInfo" type="spppb:CORInfoType" 
              minOccurs="0"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
               
              

TNRType has the following attributes:

In some cases, it is useful to describe a set of TNs with the help of the first few digits of the telephone number, also referred to as the telephone number prefix or a block. A given TN prefix may include TNs with different length variance in support of open number plan. Once again, whether the Registry supports the open number plan semantics is a matter of policy and it is beyond the scope of this document. The TNPType data structure is used to provision a TN prefix. Each TNPType object is uniquely identified by the combination of its tnPrefix element, and the unique key of its parent Destination Group (dgName and rantId). TNPType is defined as follows:

                
  <complexType name="TNPType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:PubIdType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="tnPrefix" type="string"/>
          <element name="corInfo" type="spppb:CORInfoType" 
            minOccurs="0"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
               
              

TNPType consists of the following attributes:

The object structure of AddPubIdRqstType is used to add Public Identifiers is as follows

                
  <complexType name="AddPubIdRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="pi" type="spppb:PubIdType"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
              

6.4. Get Public Identifiers Operation

The SPPP client can use the GetPubIdsRqstType in the <spppQueryRequest> structure to obtain information about one or more <pi> objects. If no matching Public Identifiers are found, then an empty result set is returned.

GetPubIdsRqstType object structure is as follows:

                
  <complexType name="GetPubIdsRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="pi" type="spppb:PubIdType" 
            maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                          
              

As described earlier in the document, the result of any spppQueryRequest operation is a spppQueryResponse that contains the response code and the query result set, if any.

6.5. Add Route Group Operation

As described in the introductory sections, a Route Group represents a combined grouping of Route Records that define route information, Destination Groups that contain a set of Public Identifiers with common routing information, and the list of peer organizations that have access to these public identifiers using this route information. It is this indirect linking of public identifiers to their route information that significantly improves the scalability and manageability of the peering data. Additions and changes to routing information are reduced to a single operation on a Route Group or Route Record , rather than millions of data updates to individual public identifier records that individually contain their peering data.

The AddRteGrpRqstType operation creates or overwrites a Route Group object. If a Route Group with the given name and registrant ID (which together comprise the unique key or a Route Group) does not exist, then the server MUST create the Route Group. If a Route Group with the given name and registrant ID does exist, then the server MUST replace the current properties of the Route Group with the properties passed into the AddRteGrpRqstType operation. The XSD declarations of the AddRteGrpRqstType operation request object are as follows:

              
  <complexType name="AddRteGrpRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="rteGrp" type="spppb:RteGrpType"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an instance of AddRteGrpRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains one RteGrpType object. The RteGrpType object structure is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="RteGrpType">
    <complexContent>
     <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">
       <sequence>
         <element name="rgName" type="spppb:ObjNameType"/>
         <element name="rrRef" type="spppb:RteRecRefType" 
           minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="dgName" type="spppb:ObjNameType" minOccurs="0"
           maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="peeringOrg" type="spppb:OrgIdType" 
           minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="sourceIdent" type="spppb:SourceIdentType"
           minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="isInSvc" type="boolean"/>
         <element name="priority" type="unsignedShort"/>
         <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
       </sequence>
     </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
  
  <complexType name="RteRecRefType">
    <sequence>
      <element name="rrKey" type="spppb:ObjKeyType"/>
      <element name="priority" type="unsignedShort"/>
      <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The RteGrpType object is composed of the following elements:

As described above, the Route Group contains a set of references to route record objects. A route record object is based on an abstract type: RteRecType. The concrete types that use RteRecType as an extension base are NAPTRType, NSType, and URIType. The definitions of these types are included the Route Record section of this document.

The RteGrpType object provides support for source-based routing via the peeringOrg data element and more granular source base routing via the source identity element. The source identity element provides the ability to specify zero or more of the following in association with a given Route Group: a regular expression that is matched against the resolution client IP address, a regular expression that is matched against the root domain name(s), and/or a regular expression that is matched against the calling party URI(s). The result will be that, after identifying the visible Route Groups whose associated Destination Group(s) contain the lookup key being queried and whose peeringOrg list contains the querying organizations organization ID, the resolution server will evaluate the characteristics of the Source URI, and Source IP address, and root domain of the lookup key being queried. The resolution server then compares these criteria against the source identity criteria associated with the Route Groups. The routing information contained in Route Groups that have source based routing criteria will only be included in the resolution response if one or more of the criteria matches the source criteria from the resolution request. The Source Identity data element is of type SourceIdentType, whose structure is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="SourceIdentType">
    <sequence>
      <element name="sourceIdentLabel" type="string"/>
      <element name="sourceIdentScheme"
        type="spppb:SourceIdentSchemeType"/>
      <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
  
  <simpleType name="SourceIdentSchemeType">
    <restriction base="token">
      <enumeration value="uri"/>
      <enumeration value="ip"/>
      <enumeration value="rootDomain"/>
    </restriction>
  </simpleType>
                        
            

The SourceIdentType object is composed of the following data elements:

As with the responses to all update operations, the result of the AddRteGrpRqstType operation is contained in the generic spppUpdateResponse data structure described in an earlier sections of this document. For a detailed description of the spppUpdateResponse data structure refer to that section of the document.

6.6. Get Route Groups Operation

The getRteGrpsRqst operation allows a client to get the properties of Route Group objects that a registrar organization is authorized to view. The server will attempt to find a Route Group object that has the registrant ID and route group name pair contained in each ObjKeyType object instance. If the set of ObjKeyType objects is empty then the server will return the list of Route Group objects that the querying client has the authority to view. If there are no matching Route Groups found then an empty result set will be returned.

The element passed into the spppQueryRequest element for this operation is an instance of type GetRteGrpsRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains zero or more ObjKeyType objects. Any limitation on the maximum number of objects that may be passed into or returned by this operation is a policy decision and not limited by the protocol. The XSD declaration of the operation is as follows:

              
  <complexType name="GetRteGrpsRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="objKey" type="spppb:ObjKeyType"
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

As described in an earlier section of this document, the result of any spppQueryRequest operation is an spppQueryResponse element that contains the overall response code and the query result set, if any. Refer to that section of the document for a detailed description of the spppQueryResponse element.

6.7. Add Route Record Operation

As described in the introductory sections, a Route Group represents a combined grouping of Route Records that define route information. However, Route Records need not be created to just serve a single Route Group. Route Records can be created and managed to serve multiple Route Groups. As a result, a change to the properties of a network node, for example, that is used for multiple routes, would necessitate just a single update operation to change the properties of that node. The change would then be reflected in all the Route Groups whose route record set contains a reference to that node.

The AddRteRecRqstType operation creates or overwrites a Route Record object. If a Route Record with the given name and registrant ID (which together comprise the unique key or a Route Record) does not exist, then the server MUST create the Route Record. If a Route Record with the given name and registrant ID does exist, then the server MUST replace the current properties of the Route Record with the properties passed into the AddRteRecRqstType operation. The XSD declarations of the AddRteRecRqstType operation request object are as follows:

              
  <complexType name="AddRteRecRqstType">

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an instance of AddRteRecRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains one RteRecType object. The RteRecType object structure is defined as follows:

              
  <complexType name="RteRecType" abstract="true">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">

      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The RteRecType object is composed of the following elements:

As described above, route records are based on an abstract type: RteRecType. The concrete types that use RteRecType as an extension base are NAPTRType, NSType, and URIType. The definitions of these types are included below. The NAPTRType object is comprised of the data elements necessary for a NAPTR that contains routing information for a Route Group. The NSType object is comprised of the data elements necessary for a Name Server that points to another DNS server that contains the desired routing information. The NSType is relevant only when the resolution protocol is ENUM. The URIType object is comprised of the data elements necessary to house a URI.

The data provisioned in a Registry can be leveraged for many purposes and queried using various protocols including SIP, ENUM and others. It is for this reason that a route record type offers a choice of URI and DNS resource record types. URIType fulfills the need for both SIP and ENUM protocols. When a given URIType is associated to a destination group, the user part of the replacement string <uri> that may require the Public Identifier cannot be preset. As a SIP Redirect, the resolution server will apply <ere> pattern on the input Public Identifier in the query and process the replacement string by substituting any back reference(s) in the <uri> to arrive at the final URI that is returned in the SIP Contact header. For an ENUM query, the resolution server will simply return the value of the <ere> and <uri> members of the URIType in the NAPTR REGEX parameter.

6.8. Get Route Records Operation

The getRteRecsRqst operation allows a client to get the properties of Route Record objects that a registrar organization is authorized to view. The server will attempt to find a Route Record object that has the registrant ID and route record name pair contained in each ObjKeyType object instance. If the set of ObjKeyType objects is empty then the server will return the list of Route Record objects that the querying client has the authority to view. If there are no matching Route Record found then an empty result set will be returned.

The element passed into the spppQueryRequest element for this operation is an instance of type GetRteRecsRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains zero or more ObjKeyType objects. Any limitation on the maximum number of objects that may be passed into or returned by this operation is a policy decision and not limited by the protocol. The XSD declaration of the operation is as follows:

              
  <complexType name="GetRteRecsRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="objKey" type="spppb:ObjKeyType"
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

As described in an earlier section of this document, the result of any spppQueryRequest operation is an spppQueryResponse element that contains the overall response code and the query result set, if any. Refer to that section of the document for a detailed description of the spppQueryResponse element.

6.9. Add Route Group Offer Operation

The list of peer organizations whose resolution responses can include the routing information contained in a given Route Group is controlled by the organization to which a Route Group object belongs (its registrant), and the peer organization that submits resolution requests (a data recipient, also know as a peering organization). The registrant offers access to a Route Group by submitting a Route Group Offer. The data recipient can then accept or reject that offer. Not until access to a Route Group has been offered and accepted will the data recipient's organization ID be included in the peeringOrg list in a Route Group object, and that Route Group's peering information become a candidate for inclusion in the responses to the resolution requests submitted by that data recipient. The AddRteGrpOffersRqstType operation creates or overwrites one or more Route Group Offer objects. If a Route Group Offer for the given Route Group object key and the offeredTo Org ID does not exist, then the server creates the Route Group Offer object. If a such a Route Group Offer does exist, then the server replaces the current object with the new object. The XSD declarations of the operation request object are as follows:

              
  <complexType name="AddRteGrpOfferRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">

      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an instance of AddRteGrpOfferRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains a RteGrpOfferType object. The XSD declaration of the RteGrpOfferType is as follows:

              
  <complexType name="RteGrpOfferType">
   <complexContent>
     <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">

    </restriction>
  </simpleType>
                        
            

The RteGrpOfferType object is composed of the following elements:

As with the responses to all update operations, the result of the AddRteGrpOfferRqstType operation is contained in the generic spppUpdateResponse data structure described in an earlier sections of this document. For a detailed description of the spppUpdateResponse data structure refer to that section of the document.

6.10. Accept Route Group Offer Operation

Not until access to a Route Group has been offered and accepted will the data recipient's organization ID will it be included in the peeringOrg list in that Route Group object, and that Route Group's peering information become a candidate for inclusion in the responses to the resolution requests submitted by that data recipient. The AcceptRteGrpOffersRqstType operation is called by, or on behalf of, the data recipient to accept a Route Group Offer that is pending in the "offered" status for the data recipient's organization ID. If a Route Group Offer for the given Route Group Offer key (route name, route registrant ID, data recipient's organization ID) exists, then the server moves the Route Group Offer to the "accepted" status and adds that data recipient's organization ID into the list of peerOrgIds for that Route Group. If a such a Route Group Offer does not exist, then the server returns the appropriate error code, 2105. The XSD declarations for the operation request object are as follows:

              
<complexType name="AcceptRteGrpOfferRqstType">
  <complexContent>
    <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
      <sequence>
        <element name="rteGrpOfferKey" type="spppb:RteGrpOfferKeyType"/>
      </sequence>
    </extension>
  </complexContent>
</complexType>
                        
            

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an instance of AcceptRteGrpOffersRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains a RteGrpOfferKeyType object.

As with the responses to all update operations, the result of the AcceptRteGrpOfferRqstType operation is contained in the generic spppUpdateResponse data structure described in an earlier sections of this document. For a detailed description of the spppUpdateResponse data structure refer to that section of the document.

6.11. Reject Route Group Offer Operation

The data recipient to which a Route Group has been offered has the option of rejecting a Route Group Offer. Furthermore, that offer may be rejected, regardless of whether or not it has been previously accepted. The RejectRteGrpOffersRqstType operation is used for these purposes and is called by, or on behalf of, the data recipient to accept a Route Group Offer that is pending in the "offered" status or is in the "accepted" status for the data recipient's organization ID. If a Route Group Offer for the given Route Group Offer key (route name, route registrant ID, data recipient's organization ID) exists in either the offered or accepted status, then the server deletes that Route Group Offer object, and, if appropriate, removes the data recipients organization ID from the list of peeringOrg IDs for that Route Group. If the Route Group Offer does not exist, then the server returns the appropriate error code, 2105. The XSD declarations for the operation request object are as follows:

              
<complexType name="RejectRteGrpOfferRqstType">
  <complexContent>
    <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
      <sequence>

    </extension>
  </complexContent>
</complexType>
                        
            

The element passed into the spppUpdateRequest element for this operation is an instance of RejectRteGrpOffersRqstType, which extends BasicUpdateRqstType and contains a RteGrpOfferKeyType object.

As with the responses to all update operations, the result of the RejectRteGrpOfferRqstType operation is contained in the generic spppUpdateResponse data structure described in an earlier sections of this document. For a detailed description of the spppUpdateResponse data structure refer to that section of the document.

6.12. Get Route Group Offers Operation

The getRteGrpOffersRqst operation allows a client to get the properties of zero or more Route Group Offer objects that registrar is authorized to view. The server will attempt to find Route Group Offer objects that have all the properties specified in the criteria passed into the operation. If no criteria is passed in then the server will return the list of Route Group Offer objects that the querying client has the authority to view. If there are no matching Route Group Offers found then an empty result set will be returned.

The element passed into the spppQueryRequest element for this operation is an instance of GetRteGrpOffersRqstType, which extends BasicQueryRqstType and contains the criteria that the returned Route Group Offer objects must match. Any limitation on the maximum number of objects that may be returned by this operation is a policy decision and not limited by the protocol. The XSD declaration of the operation is as follows:

              
  <complexType name="GetRteGrpOffersRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="offeredBy" type="spppb:OrgIdType"
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

          <element name="status" type="spppb:RteGrpOfferStatusType"
            minOccurs="0"/>
          <element name="rteGrpOfferKey"
            type="spppb:RteGrpOfferKeyType" minOccurs="0"
            maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                        
            

The GetRteGrpOffersRqstType object is composed of the following elements:

As described in an earlier section of this document, the result of any spppQueryRequest operation is an spppQueryResponse element that contains the overall response code and the query result set, if any. Refer to that section of the document for a detailed description of the spppQueryResponse element.

6.13. Egress Route Operations

In a high-availability environment, the originating SSP likely has more than one egress paths to the ingress SBE of the target SSP. If the originating SSP wants to exercise greater control and choose a specific egress SBE to be associated to the target ingress SBE, it can do so using the AddEgrRteRqstType object.

Lets assume that the target SSP has offered to share one or more ingress route information and that the originating SSP has accepted the offer. In order to add the egress route to the Registry, the originating SSP uses a valid regular expression to rewrite ingress route in order to include the egress SBE information. Also, more than one egress route can be associated with a given ingress route in support of fault-tolerant configurations. The supporting SPPP protocol structure provides a way to include route precedence information to help manage traffic to more than one outbound egress SBE.

An egress route is identified by type EgrRteType and its object structure is shown below:

              
  <complexType name="EgrRteType">
    <complexContent>
     <extension base="spppb:BasicObjType">
       <sequence>
         <element name="egrRteName" type="spppb:ObjNameType"/>
         <element name="pref" type="unsignedShort"/>
         <element name="regxRewriteRule" type="spppb:RegexParamType"/>
         <element name="ingrRteRec" type="spppb:ObjKeyType" 
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="ext" type="spppb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
       </sequence>
     </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
  
            

The EgrRteType object is composed of the following elements:

The AddEgrRteRqstType request is used to create or overwrite an egress route.

              
  <complexType name="AddEgrRteRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="egrRte" type="spppb:EgrRteType"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
              
            

An instance of AddEgrRtesRqstType is added in the spppUpdateRequest element in order to send a valid request to the server. Any limitation on the maximum number of AddEgrRteRqstType instances is a matter of policy and is not limited by the specification.

The response from the server is returned in addEgrRteRspns element, which is defined as the element of type BasicRspnsType.

The GetEgrRtesRqstType is used by an authorized entity to fetch the well-known egress route data.

                
  <complexType name="GetEgrRtesRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicQueryRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="objKey" type="spppb:ObjKeyType"
            minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                 
              

6.14. Delete Operation

In order to remove an object from the Registry, an authorized entity can send the <spppUpdateRequest> to the Registry with a corresponding delete BasicUpdateRqstType object. Each 'Add' operation in SPPP has a corresponding 'Del' operation, which is used to delete the respective object type from the Registry. If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to perform this operation an appropriate error code will be returned in the <spppUpdateRespnonse> message.

As an example, DelPubIdRqstType is used to delete Public Identifiers The DelPubIdsRqstType object definition is shown below:

                
  <complexType name="DelPubIdRqstType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="spppb:BasicUpdateRqstType">
        <sequence>
          <element name="pi" type="spppb:PubIdType"/>
        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>
                          
              

When an object is deleted, any references to that object must of course also be removed as the SPPP server implementation fulfills the deletion request. Furthermore, the deletion of a composite object must also result in the deletion of the objects it contains. As a result, the following rules apply to the deletion of SPPP object types:

7. SPPP Examples

This section shows XML message exchange between two SIP Service Providers (SSP) and a Registry. For the sake of simplicity, the transport wrapper for the SPPP protocol is left out. The SPPP protocol messages in this section are valid XML instances that conform to the SPPP schema version within this document.

In this sample use case scenario, SSP1 and SSP2 provision resource data in the registry and use SPPP constructs to selectively share the route groups. In the figure below, SSP2 has two ingress SBE instances that are associated with the public identities that SSP2 has the retail relationship with. Also, the two SBE instances for SSP1 are used to show how to use SPPP protocol to associate route preferences for the destination ingress routes and exercise greater control on outbound traffic to the peer's ingress SBEs.

7.1. Add Destination Group

SSP2 adds a destination group to the Registry for use later. The SSP2 SPPP client sets a unique transaction identifier 'tx_7777' for tracking purposes. The name of the destination group is set to DEST_GRP_SSP2_1

              
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <spppUpdateRequest 
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1 sppp.xsd"
    xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1">
     <clientTransId>txid-5555</clientTransId>
     <rqstObj xmlns:ns1="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1"

         <dgName>DEST_GRP_SSP2_1</dgName>
       </destGrp>
     </rqstObj>
   </spppUpdateRequest>
              
            

The Registry processes the request and return a favorable response confirming successful creation of the named destination group. Also, besides returning a unique transaction identifier, Registry also returns the matching client transaction identifier from the request message back to the SPPP client.

7.4. Add Route Group

SSP2 creates the grouping of the ingress routes and choses higher precedence for RTE_SSP2_SBE2 by setting a lower number for the "priority" attribute, a protocol agnostic precedence indicator.

              
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <spppUpdateRequest
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  </spppUpdateResponse>
              
            

7.5. Add Public Identity -- Successful COR claim

SSP2 activates a TN public identity by associating it with a valid destination group. Further, SSP2 puts forth a claim that it is the carrier-of-record for the TN.

              
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <spppUpdateRequest xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1"

    </rqstObj>
  </spppUpdateRequest>
              
            

Assuming that the Registry has access to TN authority data and it performs the required checks to verify that SSP2 is in fact the service provider of record for the given TN, the request is processed successfully. In the response message, the Registry sets the value of <cor> to "true" in order to confirm SSP2 claim as the carrier of record and the <corDate> reflects the time when the carrier of record claim is processed.

  </spppUpdateResponse>
              
            

7.6. Add LRN

If another entity that SSP2 shares the routes with has access to Number Portability data, it may choose to perform route lookups by routing number. Therefore, SSP2 associates a routing number to a destination group in order to facilitate ingress route discovery.

              
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <spppUpdateRequest xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1"

7.9. Enable Peering -- Route Group Offer

In order for SSP1 to complete session establishment for a destination TN where the target subscriber has a retail relationship with SSP2, it first requires an asynchronous bi-directional handshake to show mutual consent. To start the process, SSP2 initiates the peering handshake by offering SSP1 access to its route group.

              
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<spppUpdateRequest xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Registry completes the request successfully and confirms that the SSP1 will now have the opportunity to weigh in on the offer and either accept or reject it. The Registry may employ out-of-band notification mechanisms for quicker updates to SSP1 so they can act faster, though this topic is beyond the scope of this document.

7.10. Enable Peering -- Route Group Offer Accept

SSP1 responds to the offer from SSP2 and agrees to have visibility to SSP2 ingress routes.

              
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<spppUpdateRequest xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1"

</spppUpdateRequest>
              
            

Registry confirms that the request has been processed successfully. From this point forward, if SSP1 looks up a public identity through the query resolution server, where the public identity is part of the destination group by way of "RTE_GRP_SSP2_1" route association, SSP2 ingress SBE information will be shared with SSP1.

8. XML Considerations

XML serves as the encoding format for SPPP, allowing complex hierarchical data to be expressed in a text format that can be read, saved, and manipulated with both traditional text tools and tools specific to XML.

XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

This section discusses a small number of XML-related considerations pertaining to SPPP.

8.1. Namespaces

All SPPP protocol elements are defined in the namespaces in the IANA Considerations section and in the Formal Protocol Specification section of this document.

8.2. Versioning and Character Encoding

All XML instances SHOULD begin with an <?xml?> declaration to identify the version of XML that is being used, optionally identify use of the character encoding used, and optionally provide a hint to an XML parser that an external schema file is needed to validate the XML instance.

Conformant XML parsers recognize both UTF-8 (defined in [RFC3629]) and UTF-16 (defined in [RFC2781]); per [RFC2277] UTF-8 is the RECOMMENDED character encoding for use with SPPP.

Character encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 are allowed by XML. UTF-8 is the default encoding assumed by XML in the absence of an "encoding" attribute or a byte order mark (BOM); thus, the "encoding" attribute in the XML declaration is OPTIONAL if UTF-8 encoding is used. SPPP clients and servers MUST accept a UTF-8 BOM if present, though emitting a UTF-8 BOM is NOT RECOMMENDED.

Example XML declarations:

<?xml?> version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

9. Security Considerations

SPPP implementations manage data that is considered confidential and critical. Furthermor, SPPP implementations can support provisioning activities for multiple registrars and registrants. As a result any SPPP implementation must address the requirements for confidentiality, authentication, and authorization.

With respect to confidentiality and authentication, the transport protocol section contains some security properties that the transport protocol must provide so that authenticated endpoints can exchange data confidentially and with integrity protection.

With respect to authorization, the SPPP server implementation must define and implement a set of authorization rules that precisely address (1) which registrars will be authorized to create/modify/delete each SPPP object type for given registrant(s) and (2) which registrars will be authorized to view/get each SPPP object type for a given registrant(s). These authorization rules are left as a matter of policy and are not specified within the context of SPPP. However, any SPPP implementation must specify these authorization rules in order to function in a realiable and safe manner.

10. IANA Considerations

This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].

Two URI assignments are requested.

Registration request for the SPPP XML namespace:
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppp:base:1
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

Registration request for the XML schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:sppp:1
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: See the "Formal Specification" section of this document (Section 11).

IANA is requested to create a new SPPP registry for Organization Identifiers that will indicate valid strings to be used for well-known enterprise namespaces.
This document makes the following assignments for the OrgIdType namespaces:

              
      Namespace                    OrgIdType namespace string
      ----                         ----------------------------
      IANA Enterprise Numbers       iana-en
                              
            

11. Formal Specification

This section provides the draft XML Schema Definition for the SPPP protocol.
