1. Overview

This document is informational and is NOT NORMATIVE on any aspect of
SIP.

This document contains test messages based on the current version
(2.0) of the Session Initiation Protocol as, defined in [RFC3261].
Some messages exercise SIP's use of the Session Description Protocol
(SDP), as described in [RFC3264].

These messages were developed and refined at the SIPIt
interoperability test events.

The test messages are organized into several sections. Some stress
only a SIP parser, and others stress both the parser and the
application above it. Some messages are valid, and some are not.
Each example clearly calls out what makes any invalid messages
incorrect.

This document does not attempt to catalog every way to make an
invalid message, nor does it attempt to be comprehensive in exploring
unusual, but valid, messages. Instead, it tries to focus on areas
that have caused interoperability problems or that have particularly
unfavorable characteristics if they are handled improperly. This
document is a seed for a test plan, not a test plan in itself.

The messages are presented in the text using a set of markup
conventions to avoid ambiguity and meet Internet-Draft layout
requirements. To resolve any remaining ambiguity, a bit-accurate
version of each message is encapsulated in an appendix.

2. Document Conventions

This document contains many example SIP messages. Although SIP is a
text-based protocol, many of these examples cannot be unambiguously
rendered without additional markup due to the constraints placed on
the formatting of RFCs. This document defines and uses the markup

Sparks, et al. Informational [Page 3]

RFC 4475 SIP Torture Test Messages May 2006

defined in this section to remove that ambiguity. This markup uses
the start and end tag conventions of XML but does not define any XML
document type.

The appendix contains an encoded binary form of all the messages and
the algorithm needed to decode them into files.

2.1. Representing Long Lines

Several of these examples contain unfolded lines longer than 72
characters. These are captured between <allOneLine/> tags. The
single unfolded line is reconstructed by directly concatenating all
lines appearing between the tags (discarding any line feeds or
carriage returns). There will be no whitespace at the end of lines.
Any whitespace appearing at a fold-point will appear at the beginning
of a line.

The following represent the same string of bits:

Header-name: first value, reallylongsecondvalue, third value

<allOneLine>
Header-name: first value,
reallylongsecondvalue
, third value
</allOneLine>

<allOneLine>
Header-name: first value,
reallylong
second
value,
third value
</allOneLine>

Note that this is NOT SIP header-line folding, where different
strings of bits have equivalent meaning.

2.2. Representing Non-printable Characters

Several examples contain binary message bodies or header field values
containing non-ascii range UTF-8 encoded characters. These are
rendered here as a pair of hexadecimal digits per octet between
<hex/> tags. This rendering applies even inside quoted-strings.

Sparks, et al. Informational [Page 4]

RFC 4475 SIP Torture Test Messages May 2006

The following represent the same string of bits:

Header-name: value one
Header-name: value<hex>206F6E</hex>e

The following is a Subject header field containing the euro symbol:

Subject: <hex>E282AC</hex>

2.3. Representing Long Repeating Strings

Several examples contain very large data values created with
repeating bit strings. Those will be rendered here using <repeat
count=some_integer>value</repeat>. As with <hex>, this rendering
applies even inside quoted strings.

For example, the value "abcabcabc" can be rendered as <repeat
count=3>abc</repeat>. A display name of "1000000 bottles of beer"
could be rendered as

To: "1<repeat count=6><hex>30</hex></repeat> bottles of beer"
<sip:beer.example.com>

A Max-Forwards header field with a value of one google will be
rendered here as

Max-Forwards: 1<repeat count=100>0</repeat>

3. SIP Test Messages

3.1. Parser Tests (syntax)

3.1.1. Valid Messages

3.1.1.1. A Short Tortuous INVITE

This short, relatively human-readable message contains:

o line folding all over.

o escaped characters within quotes.

o an empty subject.

o LWS between colons, semicolons, header field values, and other
fields.

o both comma separated and separately listed header field values.

Sparks, et al. Informational [Page 5]

RFC 4475 SIP Torture Test Messages May 2006

o a mix of short and long form for the same header field name.

o unknown Request-URI parameter.

o unknown header fields.

o an unknown header field with a value that would be syntactically
invalid if it were defined in terms of generic-param.

o unusual header field ordering.

o unusual header field name character case.

o unknown parameters of a known header field.

o a uri parameter with no value.

o a header parameter with no value.

o integer fields (Max-Forwards and CSeq) with leading zeros.

All elements should treat this as a well-formed request.

The UnknownHeaderWithUnusualValue header field deserves special
attention. If this header field were defined in terms of comma-
separated values with semicolon-separated parameters (as would many
of the existing defined header fields), this would be invalid.
However, since the receiving element does not know the definition of
the syntax for this field, it must parse it as a header value.
Proxies would forward this header field unchanged. Endpoints would
ignore the header field.

3.1.1.2. Wide Range of Valid Characters

This message exercises a wider range of characters in several key
syntactic elements than implementations usually see. In particular,
note the following:

o The Method contains non-alpha characters from token. Note that %
is not an escape character for this field. A method of IN%56ITE
is an unknown method. It is not the same as a method of INVITE.

o The Request-URI contains unusual, but legal, characters.

o A branch parameter contains all non-alphanum characters from
token.

o The To header field value's quoted string contains quoted-pair
expansions, including a quoted NULL character.

o The name part of name-addr in the From header field value contains
multiple tokens (instead of a quoted string) with all non-alphanum
characters from the token production rule. That value also has an
unknown header parameter whose name contains the non-alphanum
token characters and whose value is a non-ascii range UTF-8
encoded string. The tag parameter on this value contains the
non-alphanum token characters.

o The Call-ID header field value contains the non-alphanum
characters from word. Notice that in this production:

* % is not an escape character. It is only an escape character
in productions matching the rule "escaped".

* " does not start a quoted string. None of ',` or " imply that
there will be a matching symbol later in the string.

* The characters []{}()<> do not have any grouping semantics.
They are not required to appear in balanced pairs.

o There is an unknown header field (matching extension-header) with
non-alphanum token characters in its name and a UTF8-NONASCII
value.

If this unusual URI has been defined at a proxy, the proxy will
forward this request normally. Otherwise, a proxy will generate a
404. Endpoints will generate a 501 listing the methods they
understand in an Allow header field.

3.1.1.3. Valid Use of the % Escaping Mechanism

This INVITE exercises the % HEX HEX escaping mechanism in several
places. The request is syntactically valid. Interesting features
include the following:

o The request-URI has sips:[email protected] embedded in its
userpart. What that might mean to example.net is beyond the scope
of this document.

o The From and To URIs have escaped characters in their userparts.

o The Contact URI has escaped characters in the URI parameters.
Note that the "name" uri-parameter has a value of "value%41",
which is NOT equivalent to "valueA". Per [RFC3986], unescaping
URI components is never performed recursively.

Sparks, et al. Informational [Page 9]

RFC 4475 SIP Torture Test Messages May 2006

A parser must accept this as a well-formed message. The application
using the message must treat the % HEX HEX expansions as equivalent
to the character being encoded. The application must not try to
interpret % as an escape character in those places where % HEX HEX
("escaped" in the grammar) is not a valid part of the construction.
In [RFC3261], "escaped" only occurs in the expansions of SIP-URI,
SIPS-URI, and Reason-Phrase.

3.1.1.4. Escaped Nulls in URIs

This register request contains several URIs with nulls in the
userpart. The message is well formed - parsers must accept this
message. Implementations must take special care when unescaping the
Address-of-Record (AOR) in this request so as to not prematurely
shorten the username. This request registers two distinct contact
URIs.

3.1.1.5. Use of % When It Is Not an Escape

In most of the places % can appear in a SIP message, it is not an
escape character. This can surprise the unwary implementor. The
following well-formed request has these properties:

o The request method is unknown. It is NOT equivalent to REGISTER.

o The display name portion of the To and From header fields is
"%Z%45". Note that this is not the same as %ZE.

o This message has two Contact header field values, not three.
<sip:[email protected]> is a C%6Fntact header field value.

A parser should accept this message as well formed. A proxy would
forward or reject the message depending on what the Request-URI meant
to it. An endpoint would reject this message with a 501.

3.1.1.6. Message with No LWS between Display Name and <

This OPTIONS request is not valid per the grammar in RFC 3261 since
there is no LWS between the token in the display name and < in the
From header field value. This has been identified as a specification
bug that will be removed when RFC 3261 is revised. Elements should
accept this request as well formed.

3.1.1.7. Long Values in Header Fields

This well-formed request contains header fields with many values and
values that are very long. Features include the following:

o The To header field has a long display name, and long uri
parameter names and values.

o The From header field has long header parameter names and values,
in particular, a very long tag.

o The Call-ID is one long token.

3.1.1.8. Extra Trailing Octets in a UDP Datagram

This message contains a single SIP REGISTER request, which ostensibly
arrived over UDP in a single datagram. The packet contains extra
octets after the body (which in this case has zero length). The
extra octets happen to look like a SIP INVITE request, but (per
section 18.3 of [RFC3261]) they are just spurious noise that must be
ignored.

A SIP element receiving this datagram would handle the REGISTER
request normally and ignore the extra bits that look like an INVITE
request. If the element is a proxy choosing to forward the REGISTER,
the INVITE octets would not appear in the forwarded request.

symbol). Receiving elements will accept this as a well-formed
message. The Request-URI will parse so that the user part is
"user;[email protected]".

3.1.2. Invalid Messages

This section contains several invalid messages reflecting errors seen
at interoperability events and exploring important edge conditions
that can be induced through malformed messages. This section does
not attempt to be a comprehensive list of all types of invalid
messages.

3.1.2.1. Extraneous Header Field Separators

The Via header field of this request contains additional semicolons
and commas without parameters or values. The Contact header field
contains additional semicolons without parameters. This message is
syntactically invalid.

An element receiving this request should respond with a 400 Bad
Request error.

3.1.2.2. Content Length Larger Than Message

This is a request message with a Content Length that is larger than
the actual length of the body.

When sent over UDP (as this message ostensibly was), the receiving
element should respond with a 400 Bad Request error. If this message
arrived over a stream-based transport, such as TCP, there's not much

Sparks, et al. Informational [Page 20]

RFC 4475 SIP Torture Test Messages May 2006

close the connection if none is forthcoming within a reasonable
period of time.

3.1.2.3. Negative Content-Length

This request has a negative value for Content-Length.

An element receiving this message should respond with an error. This
request appeared over UDP, so the remainder of the datagram can
simply be discarded. If a request like this arrives over TCP, the
framing error is not recoverable, and the connection should be
closed. The same behavior is appropriate for messages that arrive
without a numeric value in the Content-Length header field, such as
the following:

Content-Length: five

Implementors should take extra precautions if the technique they
choose for converting this ascii field into an integral form can
return a negative value. In particular, the result must not be used
as a counter or array index.

3.1.2.4. Request Scalar Fields with Overlarge Values

This request contains several scalar header field values outside
their legal range.

o The CSeq sequence number is >2**32-1.

o The Max-Forwards value is >255.

o The Expires value is >2**32-1.

o The Contact expires parameter value is >2**32-1.

An element receiving this request should respond with a 400 Bad
Request due to the CSeq error. If only the Max-Forwards field were
in error, the element could choose to process the request as if the
field were absent. If only the expiry values were in error, the
element could treat them as if they contained the default values for
expiration (3600 in this case).

Other scalar request fields that may contain aberrant values include,
but are not limited to, the Contact q value, the Timestamp value, and
the Via ttl parameter.

3.1.2.12. Invalid Time Zone in Date Header Field

This INVITE is invalid, as it contains a non-GMT time zone in the SIP
Date header field.

It is acceptable to reject this request as malformed (though an
element shouldn't do that unless the contents of the Date header
field were actually important to its processing). An element wishing
to be liberal in what it accepts could ignore this value altogether
if it wasn't going to use the Date header field anyway. Otherwise,
it could attempt to interpret this date and adjust it to GMT.

RFC 3261 explicitly defines the only acceptable time zone designation
as "GMT". "UT", while synonymous with GMT per [RFC2822], is not
valid. "UTC" and "UCT" are also invalid.

This REGISTER request is malformed. The SIP URI contained in the
Contact Header field has an escaped header, so the field must be in
name-addr form (which implies that the URI must be enclosed in <>).

It is reasonable for an element receiving this request to respond
with a 400 Bad Request. An element choosing to be liberal in what it
accepts could infer the angle brackets since there is no ambiguity in
this example. In general, that won't be possible.

3.1.2.14. Spaces within addr-spec

This request is malformed, since the addr-spec in the To header field
contains spaces. Parsers receiving this request must not break. It
is reasonable to reject this request with a 400 Bad Request response.

3.1.2.15. Non-token Characters in Display Name

This OPTIONS request is malformed, since the display names in the To
and From header fields contain non-token characters but are unquoted.

It is reasonable always to reject this kind of error with a 400 Bad
Request response.

An element may attempt to be liberal in what it receives and infer
the missing quotes. If this element were a proxy, it must not
propagate the error into the request it forwards. As a consequence,
if the fields are covered by a signature, there's not much point in
trying to be liberal - the message should simply be rejected.

This request indicates support for RFC 3261-style transaction
identifiers by providing the z9hG4bK prefix to the branch parameter,
but it provides no identifier. A parser must not break when
receiving this message. An element receiving this request could
reject the request with a 400 Response (preferably statelessly, as
other requests from the source are likely also to have a malformed
branch parameter), or it could fall back to the RFC 2543-style
transaction identifier.

3.3.2. Request-URI with Unknown Scheme

This OPTIONS contains an unknown URI scheme in the Request-URI. A
parser must accept this as a well-formed SIP request.

An element receiving this request will reject it with a 416
Unsupported URI Scheme response.

Some early implementations attempt to look at the contents of the To
header field to determine how to route this kind of request. That is
an error. Despite the fact that the To header field and the Request
URI frequently look alike in simplistic first-hop messages, the To
header field contains no routing information.

If an element will never accept this scheme as meaningful in a
Request-URI, it is appropriate to treat it as unknown and return a
416 Unsupported URI Scheme response. If the element might accept
some URIs with this scheme, then a 404 Not Found is appropriate for
those URIs it doesn't accept.

3.3.7. Unknown Authorization Scheme

This REGISTER request contains an Authorization header field with an
unknown scheme. The request is well formed. A parser must not fail
when receiving it.

A proxy will treat this request as it would any other REGISTER. If
it forwards the request, it will include this Authorization header
field unmodified in the forwarded messages.

A registrar that does not care about challenge-response
authentication will simply ignore the Authorization header field,
processing this registration as if the field were not present. A
registrar that does care about challenge-response authentication will
reject this request with a 401, issuing a new challenge with a scheme
it understands.

Endpoints choosing not to act as registrars will simply reject the
request. A 405 Method Not Allowed is appropriate.

3.3.9. Multiple Content-Length Values

Multiple conflicting Content-Length header field values appear in
this request.

From a framing perspective, this situation is equivalent to an
invalid Content-Length value (or no value at all).

An element receiving this message should respond with an error. This
request appeared over UDP, so the remainder of the datagram can
simply be discarded. If a request like this arrives over TCP, the
framing error is not recoverable, and the connection should be
closed.

must not fail when receiving it.

Per [RFC3261], an endpoint receiving this message should simply
discard it.

If a proxy followed normal response processing rules blindly, it
would forward this response to the broadcast address. To protect
against this as an avenue of attack, proxies should drop such
responses.

3.3.15. Unacceptable Accept Offering

This request indicates that the response must contain a body in an
unknown type. In particular, since the Accept header field does not
contain application/sdp, the response may not contain an SDP body.
The recipient of this request could respond with a 406 Not
Acceptable, with a Warning/399 indicating that a response cannot be
formulated in the formats offered in the Accept header field. It is
also appropriate to respond with a 400 Bad Request, since all SIP

application/sdp.

4. Security Considerations

This document presents NON-NORMATIVE examples of SIP session
establishment. The security considerations in [RFC3261] apply.

Parsers must carefully consider edge conditions and malicious input
as part of their design. Attacks on many Internet systems use
crafted input to cause implementations to behave in undesirable ways.
Many of the messages in this document are designed to stress a parser
implementation at points traditionally used for such attacks.
However, this document does not attempt to be comprehensive. It
should be considered a seed to stimulate thinking and planning, not
simply a set of tests to be passed.
