SIP
Session Initiation Protocol Comes from IETFSIP long-term vision All telephone calls and video conference calls
take place over the Internet People are identified by names or e-mail
addresses, rather than by phone numbers. You can reach the callee, no matter where the
callee roams, no matter what IP device the callee is currently using.
7: Multimedia Networking 7-2
SIP Services
Setting up a call Provides mechanisms
for caller to let callee know she wants to establish a call
Provides mechanisms so that caller and callee can agree on media type and encoding.
Provides mechanisms to end call.
Determine current IP address of callee. Maps mnemonic
identifier to current IP address
Call management Add new media
streams during call Change encoding
during call Invite others Transfer and hold
calls
7: Multimedia Networking 7-3
Setting up a call to a known IP address
• Alice’s SIP invite message indicates her port number & IP address. Indicates encoding that Alice prefers to receive (PCM ulaw)
• Bob’s 200 OK message indicates his port number, IP address & preferred encoding (GSM)
• SIP messages can be sent over TCP or UDP; here sent over RTP/UDP. •Default SIP port number is 5060.

7: Multimedia Networking 7-4
Setting up a call (more) Codec negotiation:
Suppose Bob doesn’t have PCM ulaw encoder.
Bob will instead reply with 606 Not Acceptable Reply and list encoders he can use.
Alice can then send a new INVITE message, advertising an appropriate encoder.
Rejecting the call Bob can reject with
replies “busy,” “gone,” “payment required,” “forbidden”.
Media can be sent over RTP or some other protocol.
7: Multimedia Networking 7-5
Example of SIP message
INVITE sip:[email protected] SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 167.180.112.24
From: sip:[email protected]
To: sip:[email protected]
Call-ID: [email protected]
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: 885
c=IN IP4 167.180.112.24
m=audio 38060 RTP/AVP 0
Notes: HTTP message syntax sdp = session description protocol Call-ID is unique for every call.
• Here we don’t know Bob’s IP address. Intermediate SIPservers will be necessary.
• Alice sends and receives SIP messages using the SIP default port number 506.
• Alice specifies in Via:header that SIP client sends and receives SIP messages over UDP
7: Multimedia Networking 7-6
Name translation and user locataion
Caller wants to call callee, but only has callee’s name or e-mail address.
Need to get IP address of callee’s current host: user moves around DHCP protocol user has different IP
devices (PC, PDA, car device)
Result can be based on: time of day (work,
home) caller (don’t want boss to
call you at home) status of callee (calls
sent to voicemail when callee is already talking to someone)
Service provided by SIP servers:
SIP registrar server SIP proxy server
7: Multimedia Networking 7-7
SIP Registrar
REGISTER sip:domain.com SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 193.64.210.89
From: sip:[email protected]
To: sip:[email protected]
Expires: 3600
When Bob starts SIP client, client sends SIP REGISTER message to Bob’s registrar server
(similar function needed by Instant Messaging)
Register Message:
7: Multimedia Networking 7-8
SIP Proxy
Alice sends invite message to her proxy server contains address sip:[email protected]
Proxy responsible for routing SIP messages to callee possibly through multiple proxies.
Callee sends response back through the same set of proxies.
Proxy returns SIP response message to Alice contains Bob’s IP address
Note: proxy is analogous to local DNS server
7: Multimedia Networking 7-9
ExampleCaller [email protected] places a call to [email protected]
(1) Jim sends INVITEmessage to umass SIPproxy. (2) Proxy forwardsrequest to upenn registrar server. (3) upenn server returnsredirect response,indicating that it should try [email protected]
(4) umass proxy sends INVITE to eurecom registrar. (5) eurecom registrar forwards INVITE to 197.87.54.21, which is running keith’s SIP client. (6-8) SIP response sent back (9) media sent directly between clients. Note: also a SIP ack message, which is not shown.

Comparison with H.323
H.323 is another signaling protocol for real-time, interactive
H.323 is a complete, vertically integrated suite of protocols for multimedia conferencing: signaling, registration, admission control, transport and codecs.
SIP is a single component. Works with RTP, but does not mandate it. Can be combined with other protocols and services.
H.323 comes from the ITU (telephony).
SIP comes from IETF: Borrows much of its concepts from HTTP. SIP has a Web flavor, whereas H.323 has a telephony flavor.
SIP uses the KISS principle: Keep it simple stupid.

Content distribution networks (CDNs)
Content replication Challenging to stream large
files (e.g., video) from single origin server in real time
Solution: replicate content at hundreds of servers throughout Internet content downloaded to
CDN servers ahead of time placing content “close” to
user avoids impairments (loss, delay) of sending content over long paths
CDN server typically in edge/access network
origin server in North America

7: Multimedia Networking 7-13
Content distribution networks (CDNs)
Content replication CDN (e.g., Akamai)
customer is the content provider (e.g., CNN)
CDN replicates customers’ content in CDN servers. When provider updates content, CDN updates servers

CDN company (cdn.com) distributes gif files uses its authoritative
DNS server to route redirect requests
7: Multimedia Networking 7-15
More about CDNs
routing requests CDN creates a “map”, indicating distances
from leaf ISPs and CDN nodes when query arrives at authoritative DNS
server: server determines ISP from which query originates uses “map” to determine best CDN server
CDN nodes create application-layer overlay network

Improving QOS in IP Networks
Thus far: “making the best of best effort”Future: next generation Internet with QoS guarantees
RSVP: signaling for resource reservations Differentiated Services: differential guarantees Integrated Services: firm guarantees
simple model for sharing and congestion studies:
7: Multimedia Networking 7-18
Principles for QOS Guarantees
Example: 1MbpsI P phone, FTP share 1.5 Mbps link. bursts of FTP can congest router, cause audio loss want to give priority to audio over FTP
packet marking needed for router to distinguish between different classes; and new router policy to treat packets accordingly
Principle 1
7: Multimedia Networking 7-19
Principles for QOS Guarantees (more) what if applications misbehave (audio sends higher
than declared rate) policing: force source adherence to bandwidth allocations
marking and policing at network edge: similar to ATM UNI (User Network Interface)
provide protection (isolation) for one class from othersPrinciple 2
7: Multimedia Networking 7-20
Principles for QOS Guarantees (more)
Allocating fixed (non-sharable) bandwidth to flow: inefficient use of bandwidth if flows doesn’t use its allocation
While providing isolation, it is desirable to use resources as efficiently as possible
Principle 3
7: Multimedia Networking 7-21
Principles for QOS Guarantees (more)
Basic fact of life: can not support traffic demands beyond link capacity
Call Admission: flow declares its needs, network may block call (e.g., busy signal) if it cannot meet needs
Principle 4
7: Multimedia Networking 7-22
Summary of QoS Principles
Let’s next look at mechanisms for achieving this ….

7.9 RSVP
7: Multimedia Networking 7-24
Scheduling And Policing Mechanisms
scheduling: choose next packet to send on link FIFO (first in first out) scheduling: send in order of arrival to queue
real-world example? discard policy: if packet arrives to full queue: who to discard?
• Tail drop: drop arriving packet• priority: drop/remove on priority basis• random: drop/remove randomly
7: Multimedia Networking 7-25
Scheduling Policies: more
Priority scheduling: transmit highest priority queued packet
multiple classes, with different priorities class may depend on marking or other header info, e.g.
IP source/dest, port numbers, etc.. Real world example?
7: Multimedia Networking 7-26
Scheduling Policies: still moreround robin scheduling: multiple classes cyclically scan class queues, serving one from each class (if available) real world example?
7: Multimedia Networking 7-27
Scheduling Policies: still more
Weighted Fair Queuing: generalized Round Robin each class gets weighted amount of service in
each cycle real-world example?
7: Multimedia Networking 7-28
Policing Mechanisms
Goal: limit traffic to not exceed declared parameters
Three common-used criteria: (Long term) Average Rate: how many pkts can be sent per unit time
(in the long run) crucial question: what is the interval length: 100 packets per sec or 6000
packets per min have same average!
Peak Rate: e.g., 6000 pkts per min. (ppm) avg.; 1500 ppm peak rate (Max.) Burst Size: max. number of pkts sent consecutively (with no
intervening idle)
7: Multimedia Networking 7-29
Policing Mechanisms
Token Bucket: limit input to specified Burst Size and Average Rate.
bucket can hold b tokens tokens generated at rate r token/sec unless
bucket full over interval of length t: number of packets
admitted less than or equal to (r t + b).
7: Multimedia Networking 7-30
Policing Mechanisms (more)
token bucket, WFQ combine to provide guaranteed upper bound on delay, i.e., QoS guarantee!

7: Multimedia Networking 7-32
IETF Integrated Services
architecture for providing QOS guarantees in IP networks for individual application sessions
resource reservation: routers maintain state info (a la VC) of allocated resources, QoS req’s
admit/deny new call setup requests:
Question: can newly arriving flow be admitted with performance guarantees while not violated QoS guarantees made to already admitted flows?
7: Multimedia Networking 7-33
Intserv: QoS guarantee scenario
Resource reservation call setup, signaling (RSVP) traffic, QoS declaration per-element admission control
QoS-sensitive scheduling (e.g.,
WFQ)
request/reply
7: Multimedia Networking 7-34
Call Admission
Arriving session must : declare its QOS requirement
R-spec: defines the QOS being requested characterize traffic it will send into network
T-spec: defines traffic characteristics signaling protocol: needed to carry R-spec and T-
spec to routers (where reservation is required) RSVP
7: Multimedia Networking 7-35
Intserv QoS: Service models [rfc2211, rfc 2212]
Guaranteed service: worst case traffic arrival:
leaky-bucket-policed source simple (mathematically
provable) bound on delay [Parekh 1992, Cruz 1988]
Controlled load service: "a quality of service
closely approximating the QoS that same flow would receive from an unloaded network element."

7: Multimedia Networking 7-36
IETF Differentiated Services
Concerns with Intserv: Scalability: signaling, maintaining per-flow
router state difficult with large number of flows Flexible Service Models: Intserv has only two
classes. Also want “qualitative” service classes “behaves like a wire” relative service distinction: Platinum, Gold, Silver
Diffserv approach: simple functions in network core, relatively
complex functions at edge routers (or hosts) Don’t define define service classes, provide
functional components to build service classes
7: Multimedia Networking 7-37
Edge router: per-flow traffic

marks packets as in-profile and out-profile
Core router: per class traffic management buffering and scheduling

7: Multimedia Networking 7-38
Edge-router Packet Marking
class-based marking: packets of different classes marked differently
intra-class marking: conforming portion of flow marked differently than non-conforming one
profile: pre-negotiated rate A, bucket size B packet marking at edge based on per-flow profile
Possible usage of marking:
User packets
Rate A
B
7: Multimedia Networking 7-39
Classification and Conditioning
Packet is marked in the Type of Service (TOS) in IPv4, and Traffic Class in IPv6
6 bits used for Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) and determine PHB that the packet will receive
2 bits are currently unused
7: Multimedia Networking 7-40
Classification and Conditioning
may be desirable to limit traffic injection rate of some class:
user declares traffic profile (e.g., rate, burst size)
traffic metered, shaped if non-conforming
7: Multimedia Networking 7-41
Forwarding (PHB)
PHB result in a different observable (measurable) forwarding performance behavior
PHB does not specify what mechanisms to use to ensure required PHB performance behavior
Examples: Class A gets x% of outgoing link bandwidth over time
intervals of a specified length Class A packets leave first before packets from class
B
7: Multimedia Networking 7-42
Forwarding (PHB)
PHBs being developed: Expedited Forwarding: pkt departure rate of a
class equals or exceeds specified rate logical link with a minimum guaranteed rate
Assured Forwarding: 4 classes of traffic each guaranteed minimum amount of bandwidth each with three drop preference partitions

Signaling in the Internet
connectionless (stateless)

best effort service
no network signaling protocols
in initial IP design
+ =
New requirement: reserve resources along end-to-end path (end system, routers) for QoS for multimedia applications
RSVP: Resource Reservation Protocol [RFC 2205] “ … allow users to communicate requirements to
network in robust and efficient way.” i.e., signaling !
earlier Internet Signaling protocol: ST-II [RFC 1819]
7: Multimedia Networking 7-45
RSVP Design Goals
1. accommodate heterogeneous receivers (different bandwidth along paths)
2. accommodate different applications with different resource requirements
3. make multicast a first class service, with adaptation to multicast group membership
4. leverage existing multicast/unicast routing, with adaptation to changes in underlying unicast, multicast routes
5. control protocol overhead to grow (at worst) linear in # receivers
6. modular design for heterogeneous underlying technologies
7: Multimedia Networking 7-46
RSVP: does not…
specify how resources are to be reserved rather: a mechanism for communicating needs
determine routes packets will take that’s the job of routing protocols signaling decoupled from routing
interact with forwarding of packets separation of control (signaling) and data
(forwarding) planes
7: Multimedia Networking 7-47
RSVP: overview of operation
senders, receiver join a multicast group done outside of RSVP senders need not join group
sender-to-network signaling path message: make sender presence known to routers path teardown: delete sender’s path state from routers
receiver-to-network signaling reservation message: reserve resources from sender(s)
to receiver reservation teardown: remove receiver reservations
network-to-end-system signaling path error reservation error
7: Multimedia Networking 7-48
Path msgs: RSVP sender-to-network signaling
path message contents: address: unicast destination, or multicast group flowspec: bandwidth requirements spec. filter flag: if yes, record identities of upstream
senders (to allow packets filtering by source) previous hop: upstream router/host ID refresh time: time until this info times out
path message: communicates sender info, and reverse-path-to-sender routing info later upstream forwarding of receiver
reservations

reservation msgs: receiver-to-network signaling
reservation message contents: desired bandwidth: filter type:
• no filter: any packets address to multicast group can use reservation
• fixed filter: only packets from specific set of senders can use reservation
• dynamic filter: senders who’s packets can be forwarded across link will change (by receiver choice) over time.
filter spec reservations flow upstream from receiver-to-
senders, reserving resources, creating additional, receiver-related state at routers

7: Multimedia Networking 7-63
The many uses of reservation/path refresh
recover from an earlier lost refresh message expected time until refresh received must be longer
than timeout interval! (short timer interval desired) Handle receiver/sender that goes away without
teardown Sender/receiver state will timeout and disappear
Reservation refreshes will cause new reservations to be made to a receiver from a sender who has joined since receivers last reservation refresh E.g., in previous example, H1 is only receiver, H3 only
sender. Path/reservation messages complete, data flows
H4 joins as sender, nothing happens until H3 refreshes reservation, causing R3 to forward reservation to H4, which allocates bandwidth
