The IESG has received a request from the INtermediary-safe SIP session ID WG (insipid) to consider the following document: - 'Marking SIP Messages to be Logged' <draft-ietf-insipid-logme-marking-11.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-07-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract SIP networks use signaling monitoring tools to diagnose user reported problems and for regression testing if network or user agent software is upgraded. As networks grow and become interconnected, including connection via transit networks, it becomes impractical to predict the path that SIP signaling will take between user agents, and therefore impractical to monitor SIP signaling end-to-end. This document describes an indicator for the SIP protocol which can be used to mark signaling as being of interest to logging. Such marking will typically be applied as part of network testing controlled by the network operator and not used in normal user agent signaling. Operators of all networks on the signaling path can agree to carry such marking end-to-end, including the originating and terminating SIP user agents, even if a session originates and terminates in different networks. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-insipid-logme-marking/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-insipid-logme-marking/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
