SIP already provides the ability to perform hop-by-hop traceroute for
SIP messages using the Max-Forwards header field to determine the
reachability path of requests to a target. A mechanism for
media-loopback calls has also been defined separately, which enables
test calls to be generated that result in media being looped back to
the originator. This document describes a means of performing
hop-by-hop traceroute-style test calls using the media-loopback
mechanism to test the media path when SIP sessions go through
media-relaying back-to-back user agents (B2BUAs).
This document is a product of the Sip Traversal Required for Applications to Work Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
