A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8119 Title: SIP "cause" URI Parameter for Service Number Translation Author: M. Mohali, M. Barnes Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: March 2017 Mailbox: marianne.mohali@orange.com, mary.ietf.barnes@gmail.com Pages: 12 Characters: 24142 Updates: RFC 4458 I-D Tag: draft-mohali-dispatch-cause-for-service-number-14.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8119 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8119 RFC 4458 (regarding SIP URIs for applications) defines a "cause" URI parameter, which may appear in the Request-URI of a SIP request, that is used to indicate a reason why the request arrived to the User Agent Server (UAS) receiving the message. This document updates RFC 4458 by creating a new predefined value for the "cause" URI parameter to cover service number translation for cases of retargeting due to specific service action leading to the translation of a called service access number. This document also provides guidance, which was missing in RFC 4458, for using the "cause" URI parameter within the History-Info header field, since this use is mandatory in some IP networks' implementations.
