The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Session Recording Protocol' (draft-ietf-siprec-protocol-18.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the SIP Recording Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ben Campbell, Barry Leiba and Alissa Cooper. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-siprec-protocol/ Technical Summary This document describes how to use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Session Description Protocol (SDP) and Real Time Protocol (RTP) to record a SIP Communication Session (CS) that appears on a cooperating SIP UA. The protocol creates a SIP Recording Session between the Session Recording Client (SRC) and the Session Recording Server (SRS) and passes metadata about the session between the SRC and the SRS. The document also specifies extensions for user agents that are participants in a CS to receive recording indications and to provide preferences for recording. Working Group Summary This document has had a relatively long gestation period in the working group, but there has been strong consensus on the direction and text of the document for some time. There were no notable disagreements within the working group over the development of the document. On the contrary, the only discussions were on how best to solve corner cases that occasionally arose as the document was going through the review process. The protocol conforms rather remarkably well to the requirements and architecture that was defined before serious work on the protocol began. This is noteworthy, as it rarely occurs. Document Quality There are multiple interoperable implementations of drafts of this protocol. Notably, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) has included the protocol in its Next Generation 9-1-1 standard, and has held an interoperability event where multiple implementations were tested. Feedback from the event has been incorporated in the draft. There are at least 8 implementations known to the document shepherd that are completed, in process, or planned. Personnel Brian Rosen is the Document Shepherd. Alissa Cooper is the Responsible Area Director.
