Session Peering Provisioning Protocol over SOAP

Overview

RFC 7878, “Session Peering Provisioning Protocol over SOAP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2016 by K. Cartwright, V. Bhatia, J-F. Mule, A. Mayrhofer. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Session Peering Provisioning Framework (SPPF) specifies the data model and the overall structure to provision Session Establishment Data (SED) into Session Data Registries and SIP Service Provider data stores. To utilize this framework, one needs a substrate protocol. Given that the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is currently widely used for messaging between elements of such provisioning systems, this document specifies the usage of SOAP (via HTTPS) as the substrate protocol for SPPF. The benefits include leveraging prevalent expertise and a higher probability that existing provisioning systems will be able to easily migrate to using an \%SPPF- based protocol.
