A Session Identifier for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 7329, “A Session Identifier for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is an Informational document published in August 2014 by H. Kaplan. It has been obsoleted by RFC 7989 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There is a need for having a globally unique session identifier for the same SIP session that can be consistently maintained across SIP Proxies, Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs), and other SIP middleboxes, for the purpose of troubleshooting. This document proposes a new SIP header to carry such a value: Session-ID.
The mechanism defined in this document has been widely deployed, and is being followed in a backward-compatible fashion for a new Standards Track document produced by the INSIPID Working Group.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
