Session Peering Provisioning Framework (SPPF)
Abstract
This document specifies the data model and the overall structure for
a framework to provision Session Establishment Data (SED) into
Session Data Registries and SIP Service Provider (SSP) data stores.
The framework is called the "Session Peering Provisioning Framework"
(SPPF). The provisioned data is typically used by network elements
for session establishment.

1. Introduction
Service Providers (SPs) and enterprises use routing databases known
as Registries to make session routing decisions for Voice over IP,
SMS, and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) traffic exchanges. This
document is narrowly focused on the provisioning framework for these
Registries. This framework prescribes a way for an entity to
provision session-related data into a Session Peering Provisioning
Protocol (SPPP) Registry (or "Registry"). The data being provisioned
can be optionally shared with other participating peering entities.
The requirements and use cases driving this framework have been
documented in [RFC6461].
Three types of provisioning flows have been described in the use case
document: client to Registry, Registry to local data repository, and
Registry to Registry. This document addresses client-to-Registry
flow enabling the ability to provision Session Establishment Data
(SED). The framework that supports the flow of messages to
facilitate client-to-Registry provisioning is referred to as the
"Session Peering Provisioning Framework" (SPPF).
The roles of the "client" and the "server" only apply 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 an SSP).

Figure 1: Three Registry Provisioning Flows
A "terminating" SSP provisions SED into the Registry to be
selectively shared with other peer SSPs.
SED 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 is the set of parameters that the outgoing
Signaling Path Border Elements (SBEs) need to initiate the session.
See [RFC5486] for more details.
A Registry may distribute the provisioned data into local data
repositories or may additionally offer a central query-resolution
service (not shown in the above figure) for query purposes.
A key requirement for the SPPF is to be able to accommodate two basic
deployment scenarios:
1. A resolution system returns a Lookup Function (LUF) that
identifies the target domain to assist in call routing (as
described in Section 4.3.3 of [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 resolution system returns an LRF that comprises the location
(address) of the Signaling Function in the target domain (as
described in [RFC5486]).
In terms of framework design, SPPF is agnostic to the substrate
protocol. This document includes the specification of the data model
and identifies, but does not specify, the means to enable protocol
operations within a request and response structure. That aspect of
the specification has been delegated to the "protocol" specification
for the framework. To encourage interoperability, the framework
supports extensibility aspects.
In this document, an XML Schema is used to describe the building
blocks of the SPPF and to express the data types, semantic
relationships between the various data types, and various constraints
as a binding construct. However, a "protocol" specification is free
to choose any data representation format as long as it meets the
requirements laid out in the SPPF XML Schema Definition (XSD). As an
example, XML and JSON are two widely used data representation
formats.
This document is organized as follows:
o Section 2 provides the terminology
o Section 3 provides an overview of SPPF, including functional
entities and a data model
o Section 4 specifies requirements for SPPF substrate protocols
o Section 5 describes the base framework data structures, the
generic response types that MUST be supported by a conforming
substrate "protocol" specification, and the basic object type from
which most first-class objects extend
o Section 6 provides a detailed description of the data model object
specifications
o Section 7 describes the operations that are supported by the data
model
o Section 8 defines XML considerations XML parsers must meet to
conform to this specification
o Sections 9 - 11 discuss security, internationalization, and IANA
considerations, respectively
o Section 12 normatively defines the SPPF using its XSD.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "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 [RFC6461], and the ENUM Validation
Architecture [RFC4725].
This document defines the following additional terms:
SPPF: Session Peering Provisioning Framework, which is the
framework used by a substrate protocol to provision data into a
Registry (see arrow labeled "1" in Figure 1 of [RFC6461]). It is
the primary scope of this document.
Client: In the context of SPPF, this is an application that
initiates a provisioning request. It is sometimes referred to as
a "Registry client".
Server: In the context of SPPF, this is an application that
receives a provisioning request and responds accordingly.
Registry: The Registry operates a master database of SED for one or
more Registrants.
Registrant: The definition of a Registrant is based on [RFC4725].
It is the end user, person, or organization that is the "holder"
of the SED being provisioned into the Registry by a Registrar.
For example, in [RFC6461], a Registrant is pictured as an SP in
Figure 2.
Within the confines of a Registry, a Registrant is uniquely
identified by the "rant" element.
Registrar: The definition of a Registrar is based on [RFC4725]. It
is an entity that performs provisioning operations on behalf of a
Registrant by interacting with the Registry via SPPF operations.
In other words, the Registrar is the SPPF client. The Registrar
and Registrant roles are logically separate to allow, but not
require, a single Registrar to perform provisioning operations on
behalf of more than one Registrant.
Peering Organization: A peering organization is an entity to which
a Registrant's SED Groups are made visible using the operations of
SPPF.
3. Framework High-Level Design
This section introduces the structure of the data model and provides
the information framework for the SPPF. The data model is defined
along with all the objects manipulated by a conforming substrate
protocol and their relationships.
3.1. Framework Data Model
The data model illustrated and described in Figure 2 defines the
logical objects and the relationships between these objects supported
by SPPF. SPPF defines protocol operations through which an SPPF
client populates a Registry with these logical objects. SPPF clients
belonging to different Registrars may provision data into the
Registry using a conforming substrate protocol that implements these
operations
The logical structure presented below is consistent with the
terminology and requirements defined in [RFC6461].

Figure 2: Framework Data Model
The objects and attributes that comprise the data model can be
described as follows (objects listed from the bottom up):
o Public Identifier:
From a broad perspective, a Public Identifier is a well-known
attribute that is used as the key to perform resolution lookups.
Within the context of SPPF, a Public Identifier object can be a
Telephone Number (TN), a range of TNs, a Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) Routing Number (RN), a TN prefix, or a URI.
An SPPF Public Identifier may be a member of zero or more
Destination Groups to create logical groupings of Public
Identifiers that share a common set of SED (e.g., routes).
A TN Public Identifier may optionally be associated with zero or
more individual SED Records. This ability for a Public Identifier
to be directly associated with a SED Record, as opposed to forcing
membership in one or more Destination Groups, supports use cases
where the SED Record contains data specifically tailored to an
individual TN Public Identifier.
o Destination Group:
A named logical grouping of zero or more Public Identifiers that
can be associated with one or more SED Groups for the purpose of
facilitating the management of their common SED.
o SED Group:
A SED Group contains a set of SED Record references, a set of
Destination Group references, and a set of peering organization
identifiers. This is used to establish a three-part relationship
between a set of Public Identifiers, the SED shared across these
Public Identifiers, and the list of peering organizations whose
query responses from the resolution system may include the SED
contained in a given SED Group. In addition, the sourceIdent
element within a SED Group, in concert with the set of peering
organization identifiers, enables fine-grained source-based
routing. For further details about the SED Group and source-based
routing, refer to the definitions and descriptions in Section 6.1.
o SED Record:
A SED Record contains the data that a resolution system returns in
response to a successful query for a Public Identifier. SED
Records are generally associated with a SED Group when the SED
within is not specific to a Public Identifier.
To support the use cases defined in [RFC6461], the SPPF defines
three types of SED Records: URIType, NAPTRType, and NSType. These
SED Records extend the abstract type SedRecType and inherit the
common attribute "priority" that is meant for setting precedence
across the SED Records defined within a SED Group in a protocol-
agnostic fashion.
o Egress Route:
In a high-availability environment, the originating SSP likely has
more than one egress path to the ingress SBE of the target SSP.
The Egress Route allows the originating SSP to choose a specific
egress SBE to be associated with the target ingress SBE. The
"svcs" element specifies ENUM services (e.g., E2U+pstn:sip+sip)
that are used to identify the SED Records associated with the SED
Group that will be modified by the originating SSP.
o Organization:
An Organization is an entity that may fulfill any combination of
three roles: Registrant, Registrar, and peering organization. All
objects in SPPF are associated with two organization identifiers
to identify each object's Registrant and Registrar. A SED Group
object is also associated with a set of zero or more organization
identifiers that identify the peering organization(s) whose
resolution query responses may include the SED defined in the SED
Records within that SED Group. A peering organization is an
entity with which the Registrant intends to share the SED data.
3.2. Time Value
Some request and response messages in SPPF include a time value or
values defined as type xs:dateTime, a built-in W3C XML Schema
Datatype. Use of an unqualified local time value is disallowed as it
can lead to interoperability issues. The value of a time attribute
MUST be expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format without
the time-zone digits.
"2010-05-30T09:30:10Z" is an example of an acceptable time value for
use in SPPF messages. "2010-05-30T06:30:10+3:00" is a valid UTC time
but is not acceptable for use in SPPF messages.
3.3. Extensibility
The framework contains various points of extensibility in the form of
the "ext" elements. Extensions used beyond the scope of private SPPF
installations need to be documented in an RFC, and the first such
extension is expected to define an IANA registry, holding a list of
documented extensions.
4. Substrate Protocol Requirements
This section provides requirements for substrate protocols suitable
to carry SPPF. More specifically, this section specifies the
services, features, and assumptions that SPPF delegates to the chosen
substrate and envelope technologies.
4.1. Mandatory Substrate
None of the existing transport protocols carried directly over IP,
appearing as "Protocol" in the IPv4 headers or "Next Header" in the
IPv6 headers, meet the requirements listed in this section to carry
SPPF.
Therefore, one choice to carry SPPF has been provided in "Session
Peering Provisioning (SPP) Protocol over SOAP" [RFC7878], using SOAP
as the substrate. To encourage interoperability, the SPPF server
MUST provide support for this protocol. With time, it is possible
that other choices may surface that comply with the requirements
discussed above.
4.2. Connection Oriented
The SPPF follows a model where a client establishes a connection to a
server in order to further exchange SPPF messages over such a point-
to-point connection. Therefore, a substrate protocol for SPPF will
be connection oriented.
4.3. Request and Response Model
Provisioning operations in SPPF follow the request-response model,
where a client sends a request message to initiate a transaction and
the server sends a response. Multiple subsequent request-response
exchanges MAY be performed over a single persistent connection.
Therefore, a substrate protocol for SPPF will follow the request-
response model by ensuring a response is sent to the request
initiator.
4.4. Connection Lifetime
Some use cases involve provisioning a single request to a network
element. Connections supporting such provisioning requests might be
short-lived, and may be established only on demand, for the duration
of a few seconds. Other use cases involve provisioning either a
large dataset or a constant stream of small updates, both of which
would likely require long-lived connections, spanning multiple hours
or even days.
Therefore, a protocol suitable for SPPF SHOULD be able to support
both short-lived and long-lived connections.
4.5. Authentication
All SPPF objects are associated with a Registrant identifier. An
SPPF client provisions SPPF objects on behalf of Registrants. An
authenticated SPP client is a Registrar. Therefore, the SPPF
substrate protocol MUST provide means for an SPPF server to
authenticate an SPPF client.
4.6. Authorization
After successful authentication of the SPPF client as a Registrar,
the Registry performs authorization checks to determine if the
Registrar is authorized to act on behalf of the Registrant whose
identifier is included in the SPPF request. Refer to Section 9 for
further guidance.
4.7. Confidentiality and Integrity
SPPF objects that the Registry manages can be private in nature.
Therefore, the substrate protocol MUST provide means for data
integrity protection.
If the data is compromised in-flight between the SPPF client and
Registry, it will seriously affect the stability and integrity of the
system. Therefore, the substrate protocol MUST provide means for
data integrity protection.
4.8. Near Real Time
Many use cases require responses in near real time from the server
(in the range of a few multiples of round-trip time between the
server and client). Therefore, a Data for Reachability of
Inter-/Intra-NetworK SIP (DRINKS) substrate protocol MUST support
near real-time responses to requests submitted by the client.
4.9. Request and Response Sizes
Use of SPPF may involve simple updates that may consist of a small
number of bytes, such as the update of a single Public Identifier.
Other provisioning operations may constitute a large dataset, as in
adding millions of records to a Registry. As a result, a suitable
substrate protocol for SPPF SHOULD accommodate datasets of various
sizes.
4.10. Request and Response Correlation
A substrate protocol suitable for SPPF MUST allow responses to be
correlated with requests.
4.11. Request Acknowledgement
Data transported in the SPPF is likely crucial for the operation of
the communication network that is being provisioned. An SPPF client
responsible for provisioning SED to the Registry has a need to know
if the submitted requests have been processed correctly.
Failed transactions can lead to situations where a subset of Public
Identifiers or even SSPs might not be reachable or the provisioning
state of the network is inconsistent.
Therefore, a substrate protocol for SPPF MUST provide a response for
each request, so that a client can identify whether a request
succeeded or failed.
5. Base Framework Data Structures and Response Codes
SPPF contains some common data structures for most of the supported
object types. This section describes these common data structures.
5.1. Basic Object Type and Organization Identifiers
All first-class objects extend the type BasicObjType. It consists of
the Registrant organization, the Registrar organization, the date and
time of object creation, and the last date and time the object was
modified. The Registry MUST store the date and time of the object
creation and modification, if applicable, for all Get operations (see
Section 7). If the client passed in either date or time values, the
Registry MUST ignore it. The Registrar performs the SPPF operations
on behalf of the Registrant, the organization that owns the object.
<complexType name="BasicObjType" abstract="true">
<sequence>
<element name="rant" type="sppfb:OrgIdType"/>
<element name="rar" type="sppfb:OrgIdType"/>
<element name="cDate" type="dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="mDate" type="dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
The identifiers used for Registrants (rant) and Registrars (rar) are
instances of OrgIdType. The OrgIdType is defined as a string and all
OrgIdType instances MUST follow the textual convention:
"namespace:value" (for example, "iana-en:32473"). Specifically:
Strings used as OrgIdType Namespace identifiers MUST conform to the
following syntax in the Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) [RFC5234].
namespace = ALPHA *(ALPHA/DIGIT/"-")
See Section 11 for the corresponding IANA registry definition.
5.2. Various Object Key Types
The SPPF data model contains various object relationships. In some
cases, these object relationships are established by embedding the
unique identity of the related object inside the relating object.
Note that an object's unique identity is required to Delete or Get
the details of an object. The following subsections normatively
define the various object keys in SPPF and the attributes of those
keys.
"Name" attributes that are used as components of object key types
MUST be compared using the toCasefold() function, as specified in
Section 3.13 of [Unicode6.1] (or a newer version of Unicode). This
function performs case-insensitive comparisons.
5.2.1. Generic Object Key Type
Most objects in SPPF are uniquely identified by an object key that
has the object's name, type, and Registrant's organization ID as
attributes. The abstract type called ObjKeyType is where this unique
identity is housed. Any concrete representation of the ObjKeyType
MUST contain the following:
Object Name: The name of the object.
Registrant ID: The unique organization ID that identifies the
Registrant.
Type: The value that represents the type of SPPF object. This is
required as different types of objects in SPPF, that belong to the
same Registrant, can have the same name.
The structure of abstract ObjKeyType is as follows:
<complexType name="ObjKeyType" abstract="true">
<annotation>
<documentation>
---- Generic type that represents the
key for various objects in SPPF. ----
</documentation>
</annotation>
</complexType>
5.2.2. Derived Object Key Types
The SPPF data model contains certain objects that are uniquely
identified by attributes, different from or in addition to the
attributes in the generic object key described in the previous
section. Object keys of this kind are derived from the abstract
ObjKeyType and defined in their own abstract key types. Because
these object key types are abstract, they MUST be specified in a
concrete form in any SPPF-conforming substrate "protocol"
specification. These are used in Delete and Get operations and may
also be used in Accept and Reject operations.
Following are the derived object keys in an SPPF data model:
o SedGrpOfferKeyType: This uniquely identifies a SED Group object
offer. This key type extends from ObjKeyType and MUST also have
the organization ID of the Registrant to whom the object is being
offered as one of its attributes. In addition to the Delete and
Get operations, these key types are used in Accept and Reject
operations on a SED Group Offer object. The structure of abstract
SedGrpOfferKeyType is as follows:
<complexType name="SedGrpOfferKeyType"
abstract="true">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:ObjKeyType">
<annotation>
<documentation>
---- Generic type that represents
the key for an object offer. ----

A SED Group Offer object MUST use SedGrpOfferKeyType. Refer to
Section 6.5 for a description of the SED Group Offer object.
o PubIdKeyType: This uniquely identifies a Public Identity object.
This key type extends from the abstract ObjKeyType. Any concrete
definition of PubIdKeyType MUST contain the elements that identify
the value and type of Public Identity and also contain the
organization ID of the Registrant that is the owner of the Public
Identity object. A Public Identity object in SPPF is uniquely
identified by the Registrant's organization ID, the value of the
Public Identity, and the type of the Public Identity object.
Consequently, any concrete representation of the PubIdKeyType MUST
contain the following attributes:
* Registrant ID: The unique organization ID that identifies the
Registrant.
* Value: The value of the Public Identity.
* Type: The type of the Public Identity object.
The PubIdKeyType is used in Delete and Get operations on a Public
Identifier object.
o The structure of abstract PubIdKeyType is as follows:
<complexType name="PubIdKeyType" abstract="true">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:ObjKeyType">
<annotation>
<documentation>
---- Generic type that represents the key for a Pub ID. ----
</documentation>
</annotation>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
A Public Identity object MUST use attributes of PubIdKeyType for its
unique identification. Refer to Section 6 for a description of a
Public Identity object.
5.3. Response Message Types
The following table contains the list of response types that MUST be
defined for a substrate protocol used to carry SPPF. An SPPF server
MUST implement all of the following at minimum.
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| Response Type | Description |
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| Request succeeded | A given request succeeded. |
| Request syntax | The syntax of a given request was found to |
| invalid | be invalid. |
| Request too large | The count of entities in the request is |
| | larger than the server is willing or able |
| | to process. |
| Version not | The server does not support the version of |
| supported | the SPPF protocol specified in the request. |
| Command invalid | The operation and/or command being |
| | requested by the client is invalid and/or |
| | not supported by the server. |
| System temporarily | The SPPF server is temporarily not |
| unavailable | available to serve the client request. |
| Unexpected internal | The SPPF server encountered an unexpected |
| system or server | error that prevented the server from |
| error | fulfilling the request. |
| Attribute value | The SPPF server encountered an attribute or |
| invalid | property in the request that had an |
| | invalid/bad value. Optionally, the |
| | specification MAY provide a way to indicate |
| | the Attribute Name and the Attribute Value |
| | to identify the object that was found to be |
| | invalid. |
| Object does not | An object present in the request does not |
| exist | exist on the SPPF server. Optionally, the |
| | specification MAY provide a way to indicate |
| | the Attribute Name and the Attribute Value |
| | that identifies the nonexistent object. |
| Object status or | The operation requested on an object |
| ownership does not | present in the request cannot be performed |
| allow for operation | because the object is in a status that does |
| | not allow said operation, or the user |
| | requesting the operation is not authorized |
| | to perform said operation on the object. |
| | Optionally, the specification MAY provide a |
| | way to indicate the Attribute Name and the |
| | Attribute Value that identifies the object. |
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------+
Table 1: Response Types
When the response messages are "parameterized" with the Attribute
Name and Attribute Value, then the use of these parameters MUST
adhere to the following rules:
o Any value provided for the Attribute Name parameter MUST be an
exact XSD element name of the protocol data element to which the
response message is referring. For example, valid values for
"attribute name" are "dgName", "sedGrpName", "sedRec", etc.
o The value for Attribute Value MUST be the value of the data
element to which the preceding Attribute Name refers.
o Response type "Attribute value invalid" MUST be used whenever an
element value does not adhere to data validation rules.
o Response types "Attribute value invalid" and "Object does not
exist" MUST NOT be used interchangeably. Response type "Object
does not exist" MUST be returned by an Update/Del/Accept/Reject
operation when the data element(s) used to uniquely identify a
preexisting object does not exist. If the data elements used to
uniquely identify an object are malformed, then response type
"Attribute value invalid" MUST be returned.
6. Framework Data Model Objects
This section provides a description of the specification of each
supported data model object (the nouns) and identifies the commands
(the verbs) that MUST be supported for each data model object.
However, the specification of the data structures necessary to
support each command is delegated to an SPPF-conforming substrate
"protocol" specification.
6.1. Destination Group
A Destination Group represents a logical grouping of Public
Identifiers with common SED. The substrate protocol MUST support the
ability to Add, Get, and Delete Destination Groups (refer to
Section 7 for a generic description of various operations).
A Destination Group object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes
as defined in the description of "ObjKeyType" in "Generic Object Key
Type" (Section 5.2.1 of this document).
The DestGrpType object structure is defined as follows:
<complexType name="DestGrpType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:BasicObjType">
<sequence>
<element name="dgName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
The DestGrpType object is composed of the following elements:
o base: All first-class objects extend BasicObjType (see
Section 5.1).
o dgName: The character string that contains the name of the
Destination Group.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
6.2. Public Identifier
A Public Identifier is the search key used for locating the SED. In
many cases, a Public Identifier is attributed to the end user who has
a retail relationship with the SP or Registrant organization. SPPF
supports the notion of the carrier-of-record as defined in [RFC5067].
Therefore, the Registrant under which the Public Identifier is being
created can optionally claim to be a carrier-of-record.
SPPF identifies three types of Public Identifiers: TNs, RNs, and
URIs. SPPF provides structures to manage a single TN, a contiguous
range of TNs, and a TN prefix. The substrate protocol MUST support
the ability to Add, Get, and Delete Public Identifiers (refer to
Section 7 for a generic description of various operations).
A Public Identity object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes as
defined in the description of "PubIdKeyType" in Section 5.2.2.
The abstract XSD type PubIdType is a generalization for the concrete
Public Identifier schema types. The PubIdType element "dgName"
represents the name of a Destination Group of which a given Public
Identifier may be a member. Note that this element may be present
multiple times so that a given Public Identifier may be a member of
multiple Destination Groups. The PubIdType object structure is
defined as follows:
<complexType name="PubIdType" abstract="true">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:BasicObjType">
<sequence>
<element name="dgName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
A Public Identifier may be a member of zero or more Destination
Groups. When a Public Identifier is a member of a Destination Group,
it is intended to be associated with SED through the SED Group(s)
that is associated with the Destination Group. When a Public
Identifier is not member of any Destination Group, it is intended to
be associated with SED through the SED Records that are directly
associated with the Public Identifier.
A TN is provisioned using the TNType, an extension of PubIdType.
Each TNType object is uniquely identified by the combination of its
value contained within the <tn> element and its Registrant ID.
TNType is defined as follows:
<complexType name="TNType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:PubIdType">
<sequence>
<element name="tn" type="sppfb:NumberValType"/>
<element name="corInfo" type="sppfb:CORInfoType" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="sedRecRef" type="sppfb:SedRecRefType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
<complexType name="CORInfoType">
<sequence>
<element name="corClaim" type="boolean" default="true"/>
<element name="cor" type="boolean" default="false" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="corDate" type="dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<simpleType name="NumberValType">
<restriction base="token">
<maxLength value="20"/>
<pattern value="\+?\d\d*"/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
TNType consists of the following attributes:
o tn: Telephone number to be added to the Registry.
o sedRecRef: Optional reference to SED Records that are directly
associated with the TN Public Identifier. Following the SPPF data
model, the SED Record could be a protocol-agnostic URIType or
another type.
o corInfo: corInfo is an optional parameter of type CORInfoType that
allows the Registrant organization to set forth a claim to be the
carrier-of-record (see [RFC5067]). This is done by setting the
value of the <corClaim> element of the CORInfoType object
structure to "true". The other two parameters of the CORInfoType,
<cor> and <corDate>, are set by the Registry to describe the
outcome of the carrier-of-record claim by the Registrant. In
general, inclusion of the <corInfo> parameter is useful if the
Registry has the authority information, such as the number
portability data, etc., in order to qualify whether the Registrant
claim can be satisfied. If the carrier-of-record claim disagrees
with the authority data in the Registry, whether or not a TN Add
operation fails is a matter of policy and is beyond the scope of
this document.
An RN is provisioned using the RNType, an extension of PubIDType.
The Registrant organization can add the RN and associate it with the
appropriate Destination Group(s) to share the route information.
This allows SSPs to use the RN search key to derive the Ingress
Routes for session establishment at the runtime resolution process
(see [RFC6116]). Each RNType object is uniquely identified by the
combination of its value inside the <rn> element and its Registrant
ID. RNType is defined as follows:
<complexType name="RNType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:PubIdType">
<sequence>
<element name="rn" type="sppfb:NumberValType"/>
<element name="corInfo" type="sppfb:CORInfoType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
RNType has the following attributes:
o rn: The RN used as the search key.
o corInfo: corInfo is an optional parameter of type CORInfoType that
allows the Registrant organization to set forth a claim to be the
carrier-of-record (see [RFC5067]).
TNRType structure is used to provision a contiguous range of TNs.
The object definition requires a starting TN and an ending TN that
together define the span of the TN range, including the starting and
ending TN. 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 in the range between the start and
end TN 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 value that,
in turn, is a combination of the <startTn> and <endTn> elements and
its Registrant ID. The TNRType object structure definition is as
follows:
<complexType name="TNRType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:PubIdType">
<sequence>
<element name="range" type="sppfb:NumberRangeType"/>
<element name="corInfo" type="sppfb:CORInfoType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
<complexType name="NumberRangeType">
<sequence>
<element name="startTn" type="sppfb:NumberValType"/>
<element name="endTn" type="sppfb:NumberValType"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
TNRType has the following attributes:
o startTn: The starting TN in the TN range.
o endTn: The last TN in the TN range.
o corInfo: corInfo is an optional parameter of type CORInfoType that
allows the Registrant organization to set forth a claim to be the
carrier-of-record (see [RFC5067]).
In some cases, it is useful to describe a set of TNs with the help of
the first few digits of the TN, also referred to as the TN prefix or
a block. A given TN prefix may include TNs with different length
variance in support of the 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 value in the
<tnPrefix> element and its Registrant ID. TNPType is defined as
follows:
<complexType name="TNPType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:PubIdType">
<sequence>
<element name="tnPrefix" type="sppfb:NumberValType"/>
<element name="corInfo" type="sppfb:CORInfoType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
TNPType consists of the following attributes:
o tnPrefix: The TN prefix.
o corInfo: corInfo is an optional parameter of type CORInfoType that
allows the Registrant organization to set forth a claim to be the
carrier-of-record (see [RFC5067]).
In some cases, a Public Identifier may be a URI, such as an email
address. The URIPubIdType object is comprised of the data element
necessary to house such Public Identifiers. Each URIPubIdType object
is uniquely identified by the combination of its value in the <uri>
element and its Registrant ID. URIPubIdType is defined as follows:
<complexType name="URIPubIdType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:PubIdType">
<sequence>
<element name="uri" type="anyURI"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
URIPubIdType consists of the following attributes:
o uri: The value that acts as the Public Identifier.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
6.3. SED Group
SED Group is a grouping of one or more Destination Groups, the common
SED Records, and the list of peer organizations with access to the
SED Records associated with a given SED Group. It is this indirect
linking of Public Identifiers to their SED that significantly
improves the scalability and manageability of the peering data.
Additions and changes to SED information are reduced to a single
operation on a SED Group or SED Record rather than millions of data
updates to individual Public Identifier records that individually
contain their peering data. The substrate protocol MUST support the
ability to Add, Get, and Delete SED Groups (refer to Section 7 for a
generic description of various operations).
A SED Group object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes as
defined in the description of "ObjKeyType" in "Generic Object Key
Type" (Section 5.2.1 of this document).
The SedGrpType object structure is defined as follows:
<complexType name="SedGrpType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:BasicObjType">
<sequence>
<element name="sedGrpName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"/>
<element name="sedRecRef" type="sppfb:SedRecRefType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<element name="dgName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<element name="peeringOrg" type="sppfb:OrgIdType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<element name="sourceIdent" type="sppfb:SourceIdentType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<element name="isInSvc" type="boolean"/>
<element name="priority" type="unsignedShort"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
<complexType name="SedRecRefType">
<sequence>
<element name="sedKey" type="sppfb:ObjKeyType"/>
<element name="priority" type="unsignedShort"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
The SedGrpType object is composed of the following elements:
o base: All first-class objects extend BasicObjType (see
Section 5.1).
o sedGrpName: The character string that contains the name of the SED
Group. It uniquely identifies this object within the context of
the Registrant ID (a child element of the base element as
described above).
o sedRecRef: Set of zero or more objects of type SedRecRefType that
house the unique keys of the SED Records (containing the SED) that
the SedGrpType object refers to and their relative priority within
the context of this SED Group.
o dgName: Set of zero or more names of DestGrpType object instances.
Each dgName name, in association with this SED Group's Registrant
ID, uniquely identifies a DestGrpType object instance whose
associated Public Identifiers are reachable using the SED housed
in this SED Group. An intended side effect of this is that a SED
Group cannot provide session establishment information for a
Destination Group belonging to another Registrant.
o peeringOrg: Set of zero or more peering organization IDs that have
accepted an offer to receive this SED Group's information. Note
that this identifier "peeringOrg" is an instance of OrgIdType.
The set of peering organizations in this list is not directly
settable or modifiable using the addSedGrpsRqst operation. This
set is instead controlled using the SED Offer and Accept
operations.
o sourceIdent: Set of zero or more SourceIdentType object instances.
These objects, described further below, house the source
identification schemes and identifiers that are applied at
resolution time as part of source-based routing algorithms for the
SED Group.
o isInSvc: A boolean element that defines whether this SED Group is
in service. The SED contained in a SED Group that is in service
is a candidate for inclusion in resolution responses for Public
Identities residing in the Destination Group associated with this
SED Group. The session establishment information contained in a
SED Group that is not in service is not a candidate for inclusion
in resolution responses.
o priority: Priority value that can be used to provide a relative
value weighting of one SED Group over another. The manner in
which this value is used, perhaps in conjunction with other
factors, is a matter of policy.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
As described above, the SED Group contains a set of references to SED
Record objects. A SED Record object is based on an abstract type:
SedRecType. The concrete types that use SedRecType as an extension
base are NAPTRType, NSType, and URIType. The definitions of these
types are included in "SED Record" (Section 6.4 of this document).
The SedGrpType object provides support for source-based routing via
the peeringOrg data element and more granular source-based 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 SED 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 SED Groups
whose associated Destination Group(s) contains the lookup key being
queried and whose peeringOrg list contains the querying
organization's organization ID, the resolution server will evaluate
the characteristics of the Source URI, 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 SED Groups. The SED contained in SED 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="sourceIdentRegex" type="sppfb:RegexType"/>
<element name="sourceIdentScheme"
type="sppfb:SourceIdentSchemeType"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb: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:
o sourceIdentScheme: The source identification scheme that this
source identification criteria applies to and that the associated
sourceIdentRegex should be matched against.
o sourceIdentRegex: The regular expression that should be used to
test for a match against the portion of the resolution request
that is dictated by the associated sourceIdentScheme.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
6.4. SED Record
SED Group represents a combined grouping of SED Records that define
SED. However, SED Records need not be created to just serve a single
SED Group. SED Records can be created and managed to serve multiple
SED Groups. As a result, a change, for example, to the properties of
a network node 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 SED Groups whose SED Record
set contains a reference to that node. The substrate protocol MUST
support the ability to Add, Get, and Delete SED Records (refer to
Section 7 for a generic description of various operations).
A SED Record object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes as
defined in the description of "ObjKeyType" in "Generic Object Key
Type" (Section 5.2.1 of this document).
The SedRecType object structure is defined as follows:
<complexType name="SedRecType" abstract="true">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:BasicObjType">
<sequence>
<element name="sedName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"/>
<element name="sedFunction" type="sppfb:SedFunctionType"
minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="isInSvc" type="boolean"/>
<element name="ttl" type="positiveInteger" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
<simpleType name="SedFunctionType">
<restriction base="token">
<enumeration value="routing"/>
<enumeration value="lookup"/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
The SedRecType object is composed of the following elements:
o base: All first-class objects extend BasicObjType (see
Section 5.1).
o sedName: The character string that contains the name of the SED
Record. It uniquely identifies this object within the context of
the Registrant ID (a child element of the base element as
described above).
o sedFunction: As described in [RFC6461], SED falls primarily into
one of two categories or functions: LUF and LRF. To remove any
ambiguity as to the function a SED Record is intended to provide,
this optional element allows the provisioning party to make its
intentions explicit.
o isInSvc: A boolean element that defines whether or not this SED
Record is in service. The session establishment information
contained in a SED Record that is in service is a candidate for
inclusion in resolution responses for TNs that are either directly
associated to this SED Record or for Public Identities residing in
a Destination Group that is associated to a SED Group, which, in
turn, has an association to this SED Record.
o ttl: Number of seconds that an addressing server may cache a
particular SED Record.
As described above, SED Records are based on abstract type
SedRecType. The concrete types that use SedRecType 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 Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) (see
[RFC3403]) that contains routing information for a SED Group. The
NSType object is comprised of the data elements necessary for a DNS
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 (see [RFC6116]). 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.
As such, the resolution data represented by the SED Records must be
in a form suitable for transport using one of these protocols. In
the NAPTRType, for example, if the URI is associated with 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 references 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 values of the <ere> and
<uri> members of the URI.

The NAPTRType object is composed of the following elements:
o order: Order value in an ENUM NAPTR, relative to other NAPTRType
objects in the same SED Group.
o svcs: ENUM service(s) that is served by the SBE. This field's
value must be of the form specified in [RFC6116] (e.g.,
E2U+pstn:sip+sip). The allowable values are a matter of policy
and are not limited by this protocol.
o regx: NAPTR's regular expression field. If this is not included,
then the repl field must be included.
o repl: NAPTR replacement field; it should only be provided if the
regx field is not provided; otherwise, the server will ignore it.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
The NSType object is composed of the following elements:
o hostName: Root-relative host name of the name server.
o ipAddr: Zero or more objects of type IpAddrType. Each object
holds an IP Address and the IP Address type ("IPv4" or "IPv6").
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
The URIType object is composed of the following elements:
o ere: The POSIX Extended Regular Expression (ere) as defined in
[RFC3986].
o uri: the URI as defined in [RFC3986]. In some cases, this will
serve as the replacement string, and it will be left to the
resolution server to arrive at the final usable URI.
6.5. SED Group Offer
The list of peer organizations whose resolution responses can include
the SED contained in a given SED Group is controlled by the
organization to which a SED Group object belongs (its Registrant) and
the peer organization that submits resolution requests (a data
recipient, also known as a peering organization). The Registrant
offers access to a SED Group by submitting a SED Group Offer. The
data recipient can then accept or reject that offer. Not until
access to a SED Group has been offered and accepted will the data
recipient's organization ID be included in the peeringOrg list in a
SED Group object, and that SED Group's peering information becomes a
candidate for inclusion in the responses to the resolution requests
submitted by that data recipient. The substrate protocol MUST
support the ability to Add, Get, Delete, Accept, and Reject SED Group
Offers (refer to Section 7 for a generic description of various
operations).
A SED Group Offer object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes as
defined in the description of "SedGrpOfferKeyType" in "Derived Object
Key Types" (Section 5.2.2 of this document).
The SedGrpOfferType object structure is defined as follows:
<complexType name="SedGrpOfferType">

The SedGrpOfferType object is composed of the following elements:
o base: All first-class objects extend BasicObjType (see
Section 5.1).
o sedGrpOfferKey: The object that identifies the SED that is or has
been offered and the organization to which it is or has been
offered.
o status: The status of the offer, offered or accepted. The server
controls the status. It is automatically set to "offered"
whenever a new SED Group Offer is added and is automatically set
to "accepted" if and when that offer is accepted. The value of
the element is ignored when passed in by the client.
o offerDateTime: Date and time in UTC when the SED Group Offer was
added.
o acceptDateTime: Date and time in UTC when the SED Group Offer was
accepted.
6.6. Egress Route
In a high-availability environment, the originating SSP likely has
more than one egress path 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 EgrRteType object.
An Egress Route object MUST be uniquely identified by attributes as
defined in the description of "ObjKeyType" in "Generic Object Key
Type" (Section 5.2.1 of this document).
Assume that the target SSP has offered, as part of its SED, to share
one or more Ingress Routes 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 the
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
SPPF structure provides a way to include route precedence information
to help manage traffic to more than one outbound egress SBE.
The substrate protocol MUST support the ability to Add, Get, and
Delete Egress Routes (refer to Section 7 for a generic description of
various operations). The EgrRteType object structure is defined as
follows:
<complexType name="EgrRteType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="sppfb:BasicObjType">
<sequence>
<element name="egrRteName" type="sppfb:ObjNameType"/>
<element name="pref" type="unsignedShort"/>
<element name="regxRewriteRule" type="sppfb:RegexParamType"/>
<element name="ingrSedGrp" type="sppfb:ObjKeyType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<element name="svcs" type="sppfb:SvcType" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="ext" type="sppfb:ExtAnyType" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
The EgrRteType object is composed of the following elements:
o base: All first-class objects extend BasicObjType (see
Section 5.1).
o egrRteName: The name of the Egress Route.
o pref: The preference of this Egress Route relative to other Egress
Routes that may get selected when responding to a resolution
request.
o regxRewriteRule: The regular expression rewrite rule that should
be applied to the regular expression of the ingress NAPTR(s) that
belongs to the Ingress Route.
o ingrSedGrp: The ingress SED Group that the Egress Route should be
used for.
o svcs: ENUM service(s) that is served by an Egress Route. This
element is used to identify the ingress NAPTRs associated with the
SED Group to which an Egress Route's regxRewriteRule should be
applied. If no ENUM service(s) is associated with an Egress
Route, then the Egress Route's regxRewriteRule should be applied
to all the NAPTRs associated with the SED Group. This field's
value must be of the form specified in [RFC6116] (e.g.,
E2U+pstn:sip+sip). The allowable values are a matter of policy
and are not limited by this protocol.
o ext: Point of extensibility described in Section 3.3.
7. Framework Operations
In addition to the operation-specific object types, all operations
MAY specify the minor version of the protocol that when used in
conjunction with the major version (which can be, for instance,
specified in the protocol Namespace) can serve to identify the
version of the SPPF protocol that the client is using. If the minor
version is not specified, the latest minor version supported by the
SPPF server for the given major version will be used. Additionally,
operations that may potentially modify persistent protocol objects
SHOULD include a transaction ID as well.
7.1. Add Operation
Any conforming substrate "protocol" specification MUST provide a
definition for the operation that adds one or more SPPF objects into
the Registry. If the object, as identified by the request attributes
that form part of the object's key, does not exist, then the Registry
MUST create the object. If the object does exist, then the Registry
MUST replace the current properties of the object with the properties
passed in as part of the Add operation.
Note that this effectively allows modification of a preexisting
object.
If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to perform
this operation, an appropriate error message MUST be returned from
amongst the response messages defined in "Response Message Types"
(Section 5.3 of this document).
7.2. Delete Operation
Any conforming substrate "protocol" specification MUST provide a
definition for the operation that deletes one or more SPPF objects
from the Registry using the object's key.
If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to perform
this operation, an appropriate error message MUST be returned from
amongst the response messages defined in "Response Message Types"
(Section 5.3 of this document).
When an object is deleted, any references to that object must of
course also be removed as the SPPF 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 SPPF object
types:
o Destination Groups: When a Destination Group is deleted, any
cross-references between that destination group and any SED Group
must be automatically removed by the SPPF implementation as part
of fulfilling the deletion request. Similarly, any cross-
references between that Destination Group and any Public
Identifier must be removed by the SPPF implementation.
o SED Groups: When a SED Group is deleted, any references between
that SED Group and any Destination Group must be automatically
removed by the SPPF implementation as part of fulfilling the
deletion request. Similarly, any cross-references between that
SED Group and any SED Records must be removed by the SPPF
implementation as part of fulfilling the deletion request.
Furthermore, SED Group Offers relating to that SED Group must also
be deleted.
o SED Records: When a SED Record is deleted, any cross-references
between that SED Record and any SED Group must be removed by the
SPPF implementation as part of fulfilling the deletion request.
Similarly, any reference between that SED Record and any Public
Identifier must be removed by the SPPF implementation.
o Public Identifiers: When a Public Identifier is deleted, any
cross-references between that Public Identifier and any referenced
Destination Group must be removed by the SPPF implementation as
part of fulfilling the deletion request. Any references to SED
Records associated directly to that Public Identifier must also be
deleted by the SPPF implementation.
Deletes MUST be atomic.
7.3. Get Operations
At times, on behalf of the Registrant, the Registrar may need to get
information about SPPF objects that were previously provisioned in
the Registry. A few examples include logging, auditing, and pre-
provisioning dependency checking. This query mechanism is limited to
aid provisioning scenarios and should not be confused with query
protocols provided as part of the resolution system (e.g., ENUM and
SIP).
Any conforming "protocol" specification MUST provide a definition for
the operation that queries the details of one or more SPPF objects
from the Registry using the object's key. If the entity that issued
the command is not authorized to perform this operation, an
appropriate error message MUST be returned from among the response
messages defined in Section 5.3.
If the response to the Get operation includes an object(s) that
extends the BasicObjType, the Registry MUST include the "cDate" and
"mDate", if applicable.
7.4. Accept Operations
In SPPF, a SED Group Offer can be accepted or rejected by, or on
behalf of, the Registrant to which the SED Group has been offered
(refer to Section 6.5 of this document for a description of the SED
Group Offer object). The Accept operation is used to accept the SED
Group Offers. Any conforming substrate "protocol" specification MUST
provide a definition for the operation to accept SED Group Offers by,
or on behalf of, the Registrant, using the SED Group Offer object
key.
Not until access to a SED Group has been offered and accepted will
the Registrant's organization ID be included in the peeringOrg list
in that SED Group object, and that SED Group's peering information
becomes a candidate for inclusion in the responses to the resolution
requests submitted by that Registrant. A SED Group Offer that is in
the "offered" status is accepted by, or on behalf of, the Registrant
to which it has been offered. When the SED Group Offer is accepted,
the SED Group Offer is moved to the "accepted" status and the data
recipient's organization ID is added into the list of peerOrgIds for
that SED Group.
If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to perform
this operation, an appropriate error message MUST be returned from
amongst the response messages defined in "Response Message Types"
(Section 5.3 of this document).
7.5. Reject Operations
In SPPF, a SED Group Offer object can be accepted or rejected by, or
on behalf of, the Registrant to which the SED Group has been offered
(refer to "Framework Data Model Objects", Section 6 of this document,
for a description of the SED Group Offer object). Furthermore, that
offer may be rejected, regardless of whether or not it has been
previously accepted. The Reject operation is used to reject the SED
Group Offer. When the SED Group Offer is rejected, that SED Group
Offer is deleted, and, if appropriate, the data recipient's
organization ID is removed from the list of peeringOrg IDs for that
SED Group. Any conforming substrate "protocol" specification MUST
provide a definition for the operation to reject SED Group Offers by,
or on behalf of, the Registrant, using the SED Group Offer object
key.
If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to perform
this operation, an appropriate error message MUST be returned from
among the response messages defined in "Response Message Types"
(Section 5.3 of this document).
7.6. Get Server Details Operation
In SPPF, the Get Server Details operation can be used to request
certain details about the SPPF server that include the SPPF server's
current status and the major/minor version of the SPPF protocol
supported by the SPPF server.
Any conforming substrate "protocol" specification MUST provide a
definition for the operation to request such details from the SPPF
server. If the entity that issued the command is not authorized to
perform this operation, an appropriate error message MUST be returned
from among the response messages defined in "Response Message Types"
(Section 5.3 of this document).
8. XML Considerations
XML serves as the encoding format for SPPF, 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, the character casing
of XML specifications in this document MUST be preserved to develop a
conforming specification.
This section discusses a small number of XML-related considerations
pertaining to SPPF.
8.1. Namespaces
All SPPF elements are defined in the Namespaces in the "IANA
Considerations" and "Formal Framework Specification" sections 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 SPPF.
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. SPPF 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
Many SPPF implementations manage data that is considered confidential
and critical. Furthermore, SPPF implementations can support
provisioning activities for multiple Registrars and Registrants. As
a result, any SPPF implementation must address the requirements for
confidentiality, authentication, and authorization.
9.1. Confidentiality and Authentication
With respect to confidentiality and authentication, the substrate
protocol requirements section of this document contains security
properties that the substrate protocol must provide, so that
authenticated endpoints can exchange data confidentially and with
integrity protection. Refer to Section 4 of this document and
[RFC7878] for the specific solutions to authentication and
confidentiality.
9.2. Authorization
With respect to authorization, the SPPF 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 SPPF object type for a given Registrant(s) and (2) which
Registrars will be authorized to view/get each SPPF object type for a
given Registrant(s). These authorization rules are a matter of
policy and are not specified within the context of SPPF. However,
any SPPF implementation must specify these authorization rules in
order to function in a reliable and safe manner.
9.3. Denial of Service
In general, guidance on Denial-of-Service (DoS) issues is given in
"Internet Denial of Service Considerations" [RFC4732], which also
gives a general vocabulary for describing the DoS issue.
SPPF is a high-level client-server protocol that can be implemented
on lower-level mechanisms such as remote procedure call and web-
service API protocols. As such, it inherits any Denial-of-Service
issues inherent to the specific lower-level mechanism used for any
implementation of SPPF. SPPF also has its own set of higher-level
exposures that are likely to be independent of lower-layer mechanism
choices.
9.3.1. DoS Issues Inherited from the Substrate Mechanism
In general, an SPPF implementation is dependent on the selection and
implementation of a lower-level substrate protocol and a binding
between that protocol and SPPF. The archetypal SPPF implementation
uses XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] representation in a SOAP [SOAPREF]
request/response framework over HTTP [RFC7230], probably also uses
Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246] for on-the-wire data
integrity and participant authentication, and might use HTTP Digest
authentication [RFC2069].
The typical deployment scenario for SPPF is to have servers in a
managed facility; therefore, techniques such as Network Ingress
Filtering [RFC2827] are generally applicable. In short, any DoS
mechanism affecting a typical HTTP implementation would affect such
an SPPF implementation; therefore, the mitigation tools for HTTP in
general also apply to SPPF.
SPPF does not directly specify an authentication mechanism; instead,
it relies on the lower-level substrate protocol to provide for
authentication. In general, authentication is an expensive
operation, and one apparent attack vector is to flood an SPPF server
with repeated requests for authentication, thereby exhausting its
resources. Therefore, SPPF implementations SHOULD be prepared to
handle authentication floods, perhaps by noting repeated failed login
requests from a given source address and blocking that source
address.
9.3.2. DoS Issues Specific to SPPF
The primary defense mechanism against DoS within SPPF is
authentication. Implementations MUST tightly control access to the
SPPF service, SHOULD implement DoS and other policy control
screening, and MAY employ a variety of policy violation reporting and
response measures such as automatic blocking of specific users and
alerting of operations personnel. In short, the primary SPPF
response to DoS-like activity by a user is to block that user or
subject their actions to additional review.
SPPF allows a client to submit multiple-element or "batch" requests
that may insert or otherwise affect a large amount of data with a
single request. In the simplest case, the server progresses
sequentially through each element in a batch, completing one before
starting the next. Mid-batch failures are handled by stopping the
batch and rolling back the data store to its pre-request state. This
"stop and roll back" design provides a DoS opportunity. A hostile
client could repeatedly issue large batch requests with one or more
failing elements, causing the server to repeatedly stop and roll back
large transactions. The suggested response is to monitor clients for
such failures and take administrative action (such as blocking the
user) when an excessive number of rollbacks is reported.
An additional suggested response is for an implementer to set their
maximum allowable XML message size and their maximum allowable batch
size at a level that they feel protects their operational instance,
given the hardware sizing they have in place and the expected load
and size needs that their users expect.
9.4. Information Disclosure
It is not uncommon for the logging systems to document on-the-wire
messages for various purposes, such as debugging, auditing, and
tracking. At the minimum, the various support and administration
staff will have access to these logs. Also, if an unprivileged user
gains access to the SPPF deployments and/or support systems, it will
have access to the information that is potentially deemed
confidential. To manage information disclosure concerns beyond the
substrate level, SPPF implementations MAY provide support for
encryption at the SPPF object level.
9.5. Non-repudiation
In some situations, it may be required to protect against denial of
involvement (see [RFC4949]) and tackle non-repudiation concerns in
regard to SPPF messages. This type of protection is useful to
satisfy authenticity concerns related to SPPF messages beyond the
end-to-end connection integrity, confidentiality, and authentication
protection that the substrate layer provides. This is an optional
feature, and some SPPF implementations MAY provide support for it.
9.6. Replay Attacks
Anti-replay protection ensures that a given SPPF object replayed at a
later time won't affect the integrity of the system. SPPF provides
at least one mechanism to fight against replay attacks. Use of the
optional client transaction identifier allows the SPPF client to
correlate the request message with the response and to be sure that
it is not a replay of a server response from earlier exchanges. Use
of unique values for the client transaction identifier is highly
encouraged to avoid chance matches to a potential replay message.
9.7. Compromised or Malicious Intermediary
The SPPF client or Registrar can be a separate entity acting on
behalf of the Registrant in facilitating provisioning transactions to
the Registry. Therefore, even though the substrate layer provides
end-to-end protection for each specific SPPP connection between
client and server, data might be available in clear text before or
after it traverses an SPPP connection. Therefore, a
man-in-the-middle attack by one of the intermediaries is a
possibility that could affect the integrity of the data that belongs
to the Registrant and/or expose peering data to unintended actors.
10. Internationalization Considerations
Character encodings to be used for SPPF elements are described in
Section 8.2. The use of time elements in the protocol is specified
in Section 3.2. Where human-readable messages that are presented to
an end user are used in the protocol, those messages SHOULD be tagged
according to [RFC5646], and the substrate protocol MUST support a
respective mechanism to transmit such tags together with those human-
readable messages.
11. IANA Considerations
11.1. URN Assignments
This document uses URNs to describe XML Namespaces and XML Schemas
conforming to a Registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].
Two URI assignments have been made:
Registration for the SPPF XML Namespace:
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:sppf:base:1
Registrant Contact: The IESG
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the XML Schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:sppf:1
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: See "Formal Specification" (Section 12 of this document).
11.2. Organization Identifier Namespace Registry
IANA has created and will maintain a registry titled "SPPF OrgIdType
Namespaces". The formal syntax is described in Section 5.1.
Assignments consist of the OrgIdType Namespace string and the
definition of the associated Namespace. This document makes the
following initial assignment for the OrgIdType Namespaces:
OrgIdType Namespace string Namespace
-------------------------- ---------
IANA Enterprise Numbers iana-en
Future assignments are to be made through the well-known IANA Policy
"RFC Required" (see Section 4.1 of [RFC5226]). Such assignments will
typically be requested when a new Namespace for identification of SPs
is defined.
12. Formal Specification
This section provides the XSD for the SPPF protocol.
