RFC 4117 3pcc Transcoding in SIP June 2005
1. Introduction
The framework for transcoding with SIP [4] describes how two SIP [1]
UAs (User Agents) can discover incompatibilities that prevent them
from establishing a session (e.g., lack of support for a common codec
or common media type). When such incompatibilities are found, the
UAs need to invoke transcoding services to successfully establish the
session. 3pcc (third party call control) [2] is one way to perform
such invocation.
2. General Overview
In the 3pcc model for transcoding invocation, a transcoding server
that provides a particular transcoding service (e.g., speech-to-text)
is identified by a URI. A UA that wishes to invoke that service
sends an INVITE request to that URI establishing a number of media
streams. The way the transcoder manipulates and manages the contents
of those media streams (e.g., the text received over the text stream
is transformed into speech and sent over the audio stream) is service
specific.
All the call flows in this document use SDP. The same call flows
could be used with another session description protocol that provides
similar session description capabilities.
3. Third Party Call Control Flows
Given two UAs (A and B) and a transcoding server (T), the invocation
of a transcoding service consists of establishing two sessions; A-T
and T-B. How these sessions are established depends on which party,
the caller (A) or the callee (B), invokes the transcoding services.
Section 3.2 deals with callee invocation and Section 3.3 deals with
caller invocation.
In all our 3pcc flows we have followed the general principle that a
200 (OK) response from the transcoding service has to be received
before contacting the callee. This tries to ensure that the
transcoding service will be available when the callee accepts the
session.
Still, the transcoding service does not know the exact type of
transcoding it will be performing until the callee accepts the
session. So, there is always the chance of failing to provide
transcoding services after the callee has accepted the session. A
system with more stringent requirements could use preconditions to
avoid this situation. When preconditions are used, the callee is not
alerted until everything is ready for the session.

3.1. Terminology
All the flows in this document follow the naming convention below:
SDP A: A session description generated by A. It contains, among
other things, the transport address/es (IP address and
port number) where A wants to receive media for each
particular stream.
SDP B: A session description generated by B. It contains, among
other things, the transport address/es where B wants to
receive media for each particular stream.
SDP A+B: A session description that contains, among other things,
the transport address/es where A wants to receive media
and the transport address/es where B wants to receive
media.
SDP TA: A session description generated by T and intended for A.
It contains, among other things, the transport address/es
where T wants to receive media from A.
SDP TB: A session description generated by T and intended for B.
It contains, among other things, the transport address/es
where T wants to receive media from B.
SDP TA+TB: A session description generated by T that contains, among
other things, the transport address/es where T wants to
receive media from A and the transport address/es where T
wants to receive media from B.
3.2. Callee's Invocation
In this scenario, B receives an INVITE from A, and B decides to
introduce T in the session. Figure 1 shows the call flow for this
scenario.
In Figure 1, A can both hear and speak, and B is a deaf user with a
speech impairment. A proposes to establish a session that consists
of an audio stream (1). B wants to send and receive only text, so it
invokes a transcoding service T that will perform both speech-to-text
and text-to-speech conversions (2). The session descriptions of
Figure 1 are partially shown below.

Camarillo, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 4117 3pcc Transcoding in SIP June 2005
Four media streams (i.e., two bi-directional streams) have been
established at this point:
1. Audio from A to T.example.com:30000
2. Text from T to B.example.com:40000
3. Text from B to T.example.com:30002
4. Audio from T to A.example.com:20000
When either A or B decides to terminate the session, it sends a BYE
indicating that the session is over.
If the first INVITE (1) received by B is empty (no session
description), the call flow is slightly different. Figure 2 shows
the messages involved.
B may have different reasons for invoking T before knowing A's
session description. B may want to hide its lack of native
capabilities, and therefore wants to return a session description
with all the codecs that B supports, plus all the codecs that T
supports. Or T may provide recording services (besides transcoding),
and B wants T to record the conversation, regardless of whether
transcoding is needed.
This scenario (Figure 2) is a bit more complex than the previous one.
In INVITE (2), B still does not have SDP A, so it cannot provide T
with that information. When B finally receives SDP A in (6), it has
to send it to T. B sends an empty INVITE to T (7) and gets a 200 OK
with SDP TA+TB (8). In general, this SDP TA+TB can be different than
the one sent in (3). That is why B needs to send the updated SDP TA
to A in (9). A then sends a possibly updated SDP A (10) and B sends
it to T in (12). On the other hand, if T happens to return the same
SDP TA+TB in (8) as in (3), B can skip messages (9), (10), and (11).
So, implementors of transcoding services are encouraged to return the
same session description in (8) as in (3) in this type of scenario.
The session descriptions of this flow are shown below:

Camarillo, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 4117 3pcc Transcoding in SIP June 2005
Four media streams (i.e., two bi-directional streams) have been
established at this point:
1. Audio from A to T.example.com:30004
2. Text from T to B.example.com:40000
3. Text from B to T.example.com:30006
4. Audio from T to A.example.com:20002
3.3. Caller's Invocation
In this scenario, A wishes to establish a session with B using a
transcoding service. A uses 3pcc to set up the session between T and
B. The call flow we provide here is slightly different than the ones
in [2]. In [2], the controller establishes a session between two
user agents, which are the ones deciding the characteristics of the
streams. Here, A wants to establish a session between T and B, but A
wants to decide how many and which types of streams are established.
That is why A sends its session description in the first INVITE (1)
to T, as opposed to the media-less initial INVITE recommended by [2].
Figure 3 shows the call flow for this scenario.
We do not include the session descriptions of this flow, since they
are very similar to those in Figure 2. In this flow, if T returns
the same SDP TA+TB in (8) as in (2), messages (9), (10), and (11) can
be skipped.
3.4. Receiving the Original Stream
Sometimes, as pointed out in the requirements for SIP in support of
deaf, hard of hearing, and speech-impaired individuals [5], a user
wants to receive both the original stream (e.g., audio) and the
transcoded stream (e.g., the output of the speech-to-text
conversion). There are various possible solutions for this problem.
One solution consists of using the SDP group attribute with Flow
Identification (FID) semantics [3]. FID allows requesting that a
stream is sent to two different transport addresses in parallel, as
shown below:

Figure 3: Caller's invocation of a transcoding service
a=group:FID 1 2

c=IN IP4 A.example.com
a=mid:1
m=audio 30000 RTP/AVP 0
c=IN IP4 T.example.com
a=mid:2
The problem with this solution is that the majority of the SIP user
agents do not support FID. Moreover, only a small fraction of the
few UAs that support FID, also support sending simultaneous copies of
the same media stream at the same time. In addition, FID forces both
copies of the stream to use the same codec.
Camarillo, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 4117 3pcc Transcoding in SIP June 2005
Therefore, we recommend that T (instead of a user agent) replicates
the media stream. The transcoder T receiving the following session
description performs speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversions
between the first audio stream and the text stream. In addition, T
copies the first audio stream to the second audio stream and sends it
to A.
m=audio 40000 RTP/AVP 0
c=IN IP4 B.example.com
m=audio 20000 RTP/AVP 0
c=IN IP4 A.example.com
a=recvonly
m=text 20002 RTP/AVP 96
c=IN IP4 A.example.com
a=rtpmap:96 t140/1000
3.5. Transcoding Services in Parallel
Transcoding services sometimes consist of human relays (e.g., a
person performing speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversions for a
session). If the same person is involved in both conversions (i.e.,
from A to B and from B to A), he or she has access to all of the
conversation. In order to provide some degree of privacy, sometimes
two different persons are allocated to do the job (i.e., one person
handles A->B and the other B->A). This type of disposition is also
useful for automated transcoding services, where one machine converts
text to synthetic speech (text-to-speech) and another performs voice
recognition (speech-to-text).
The scenario described above involves four different sessions: A-T1,
T1-B, B-T2 and T2-A. Figure 4 shows the call flow where A invokes T1
and T2.
Note this example uses unidirectional media streams (i.e., sendonly
or recvonly) to clearly identify which transcoder handles media in
which direction. Nevertheless, nothing precludes the use of
bidirectional streams in this scenario. They could be used, for
example, by a human relay to ask for clarifications (e.g., I did not
get that, could you repeat, please?) to the party he or she is
receiving media from.

3. Audio from B to T2.example.com:40002
4. Text from T2 to A.example.com:20002
Note that B, the user agent server, needs to support two media
streams: sendonly and recvonly. At present, some user agents,
although they support a single sendrecv media stream, do not support
a different media line per direction. Implementers are encouraged to
build support for this feature.
3.6. Multiple Transcoding Services in Series
In a distributed environment, a complex transcoding service (e.g.,
English text to Spanish speech) is often provided by several servers.
For example, one server performs English text to Spanish text
translation, and its output is fed into a server that performs text-
to-speech conversion. The flow in Figure 5 shows how A invokes T1
and T2.

4. Security Considerations
RFC 3725 [2] discusses security considerations which relate to the
use of third party call control in SIP. These considerations apply
to this document, since it describes how to use third party call
control to invoke transcoding service.
In particular, RFC 3725 states that end-to-end media security is
based on the exchange of keying material within SDP and depends on
the controller behaving properly. That is, the controller should not
try to disable the security mechanisms offered by the other parties.
As a result, it is trivially possible for the controller to insert
itself as an intermediary on the media exchange, if it should so
desire.
In this document, the controller is the UA invoking the transcoder,
and there is a media session established using third party call
control between the remote UA and the transcoder. Consequently, the
attack described in RFC 3725 does not constitute a threat because the
controller is the UA invoking the transcoding service and it has
access to the media anyway by definition. So, it seems unlikely that
a UA would attempt to launch an attack against its own session by
disabling security between the transcoder and the remote UA.
Regarding end-to-end media security from the UAs' point of view, the
transcoder needs access to the media in order to perform its
function. So, by definition, the transcoder behaves as a man in the
middle. UAs that do not want a particular transcoder to have access
to all the media exchanged between them can use a different
transcoder for each direction. In addition, UAs can use different
transcoders for different media types.
