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].

  This document is expected to be used as a companion document to the
  more general SIP torture test document [RFC4475], which does not
  include specific tests for IPv6 network identifiers.

  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 may cause interoperability problems in IPv6 deployments.

2.  Document Conventions

  This document contains many examples of SIP messages with IPv6
  network identifiers.  The appendix contains an encoded binary form
  containing the bit-exact representation of all the messages and the
  script needed to decode them into separate files.



Gurbani, et al.              Informational                      [Page 2]

RFC 5118                 SIP IPv6 Torture Tests            February 2008


  The IPv6 addresses used in this document correspond to the 2001:
  DB8::/32 address prefix reserved for documentation [RFC3489].
  Likewise, the IPv4 addresses used in this document correspond to the
  192.0.2.0/24 address block as described in [RFC3330].

  Although SIP is a text-based protocol, some of these examples cannot
  be unambiguously rendered without additional markup due to the
  constraints placed on the formatting of RFCs.  This document uses the
  <allOneLine/> markup convention established in [RFC4475] to avoid
  ambiguity and meet the Internet-Draft layout requirements.  For the
  sake of completeness, the text defining this markup from Section 2.1
  of [RFC4475] is reproduced in its entirety below:

     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.

RFC 5118                 SIP IPv6 Torture Tests            February 2008


3.  SIP and IPv6 Network Configuration

  System-level issues like deploying a dual-stack proxy server,
  populating DNS with A and AAAA Resource Records (RRs), zero-
  configuration discovery of outbound proxies for IPv4 and IPv6
  networks, when a dual-stack proxy should Record-Route itself, and
  media issues also play a major part in the transition to IPv6.  This
  document does not, however, address these issues.  Instead, a
  companion document [sip-trans] provides more guidance on these
  issues.

4.  Parser Torture Tests

  The test messages are organized into several sections.  Some stress
  only the 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.

  Please refer to the complete Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) in
  [RFC3261] on representing IPv6 references in SIP messages.  IPv6
  references are delimited by a "[" and "]".  When an IPv6 reference is
  part of a SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), RFC 3261 mandates
  that the "IPv6reference" production rule be used to recognize tokens
  that comprise an IPv6 reference.  More specifically, the ABNF states
  the following:

    SIP-URI        =  "sip:" [ userinfo ] hostport
                      uri-parameters [ headers ]
    hostport       =  host [ ":" port ]
    host           =  hostname / IPv4address / IPv6reference
    IPv4address    =  1*3DIGIT "." 1*3DIGIT "." 1*3DIGIT "." 1*3DIGIT
    IPv6reference  =  "[" IPv6address "]"
    IPv6address    =  hexpart [ ":" IPv4address ]
    hexpart        =  hexseq / hexseq "::" [ hexseq ] / "::" [ hexseq ]
    hexseq         =  hex4 *( ":" hex4)
    hex4           =  1*4HEXDIG

4.1.  Valid SIP Message with an IPv6 Reference

  The request below is well-formatted according to the grammar in
  [RFC3261].  An IPv6 reference appears in the Request-URI (R-URI), Via
  header field, and Contact header field.

  Message Details: ipv6-good

     REGISTER sip:[2001:db8::10] SIP/2.0
     To: sip:[email protected]

     Content-Length: 0

4.2.  Invalid SIP Message with an IPv6 Reference

  The request below is not well-formatted according to the grammar in
  [RFC3261].  The IPv6 reference in the R-URI does not contain the
  mandated delimiters for an IPv6 reference ("[" and "]").

  A SIP implementation receiving this request should respond with a 400
  Bad Request error.

  Message Details: ipv6-bad

     REGISTER sip:2001:db8::10 SIP/2.0

RFC 5118                 SIP IPv6 Torture Tests            February 2008


4.3.  Port Ambiguous in a SIP URI

  IPv6 uses the colon to delimit octets.  This may lead to ambiguity if
  the port number on which to contact a SIP server is inadvertently
  conflated with the IPv6 reference.  Consider the REGISTER request
  below.  The sender of the request intended to specify a port number
  (5070) to contact a server, but inadvertently, inserted the port
  number inside the closing "]" of the IPv6 reference.  Unfortunately,
  since the IPv6 address in the R-URI is compressed, the intended port
  number becomes the last octet of the reference.

  From a parsing perspective, the request below is well-formed.
  However, from a semantic point of view, it will not yield the desired
  result.  Implementations must ensure that when a raw IPv6 address
  appears in a SIP URI, then a port number, if required, appears
  outside the closing "]" delimiting the IPv6 reference.  Raw IPv6
  addresses can occur in many header fields, including the Contact,
  Route, and Record-Route header fields.  They also can appear as the
  result of the "sent-by" production rule of the Via header field.
  Implementers are urged to consult the ABNF in [RFC3261] for a
  complete list of fields where a SIP URI can appear.

4.4.  Port Unambiguous in a SIP URI

  In contrast to the example in Section 4.3, the following REGISTER
  request leaves no ambiguity whatsoever on where the IPv6 address ends
  and the port number begins.  This REGISTER request is well formatted
  per the grammar in [RFC3261].

  Message Details: port-unambiguous

     Max-Forwards: 70
     CSeq: 98176 REGISTER
     Content-Length: 0

4.5.  IPv6 Reference Delimiters in Via Header

  IPv6 references can also appear in Via header fields; more
  specifically in the "sent-by" production rule and the "via-received"
  production rule.  In the "sent-by" production rule, the sequence of
  octets comprising the IPv6 address is defined to appear as an
  "IPv6reference" non-terminal, thereby mandating the "[" and "]"
  delimiters.  However, this is not the case for the "via-received"
  non-terminal.  The "via-received" production rule is defined as
  follows:

     via-received = "received" EQUAL (IPv4address / IPv6address)

  The "IPv6address" non-terminal is defined not to include the
  delimiting "[" and "]".  This has led to the situation documented
  during the 18th SIP Interoperability Event [Email-SIPit]:

     Those testing IPv6 made different assumptions about enclosing
     literal v6 addresses in Vias in [].  By the end of the event, most
     implementations were accepting either.  Its about 50/50 on what
     gets sent.

  While it would be beneficial if the same non-terminal
  ("IPv6reference") was used for both the "sent-by" and "via-received"
  production rules, there has not been a consensus in the working group
  to that effect.  Thus, the best that can be suggested is that
  implementations must follow the Robustness Principle [RFC1122] and be
  liberal in accepting a "received" parameter with or without the

  delimiting "[" and "]" tokens.  When sending a request,
  implementations must not put the delimiting "[" and "]" tokens.

  The two test cases below are designed to stress this behavior.  A SIP
  implementation receiving either of these messages must parse them
  successfully.

  The request below contains an IPv6 address in the Via "received"
  parameter.  The IPv6 address is delimited by "[" and "]".  Even
  though this is not a valid request based on a strict interpretation
  of the grammar in [RFC3261], robust implementations must nonetheless
  be able to parse the topmost Via header field and continue processing
  the request.

4.9.  IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Addresses

  An IPv4-mapped IPv6 address is usually represented with the last 32
  bits appearing as a dotted-decimal IPv4 address; e.g., ::ffff:
  192.0.2.1.  A SIP implementation receiving a message that contains
  such a mapped address must be prepared to parse it successfully.  An
  IPv4-mapped IPv6 address may appear in signaling, or in the SDP
  carried by the signaling message, or in both.  If a port number is
  part of the URI represented by the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, then it
  must appear outside the delimiting "]" (cf. Section 4.4).

  The message below is well-formed according to the grammar in
  [RFC3261].  The Via list contains two Via headers, both of which
  include an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.  An IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
  also appears in the Contact header and the SDP.  The topmost Via
  header includes a port number that is appropriately delimited by "]".

4.10.  IPv6 Reference Bug in RFC 3261 ABNF

  It is possible to follow the IPv6reference production rule of RFC
  3261 ABNF -- the relevant portion of which is reproduced at the top
  of Section 4 -- and arrive at the following construct:

  [2001:db8:::192.0.2.1]



Gurbani, et al.              Informational                     [Page 11]

RFC 5118                 SIP IPv6 Torture Tests            February 2008


  Note the extra colon before the IPv4 address in the above construct.
  The correct construct, of course, is:

  [2001:db8::192.0.2.1]

  The ABNF pertaining to IPv6 references in RFC 3261 was derived from
  RFC 2373 [RFC2373], which has been obsoleted by RFC 4291 [RFC4291].
  The specific behavior of inserting an extra colon was inherited from
  RFC 2373, and has been remedied in RFC 4291.  However, following the
  Robustness Principle [RFC1122], an implementation must tolerate both
  of the above constructs.

  The message below includes an extra colon in the IPv6 reference.  A
  SIP implementation receiving such a message may exhibit robustness by
  successfully parsing the IPv6 reference (it can choose to ignore the
  extra colon when parsing the IPv6 reference.  If the SIP
  implementation is acting in the role of a proxy, it may additionally
  serialize the message without the extra colon to aid the next
  downstream server).

RFC 5118                 SIP IPv6 Torture Tests            February 2008


5.  Security Considerations

  This document presents examples of SIP messages with IPv6 references
  contained in the signaling headers and SDP payload.  While this
  document may clarify the behavior of SIP elements processing a

  message with IPv6 references, it does not normatively change the base
  SIP [RFC3261] specification in any way.  Consequently, all 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.  This
  document does not, however, attempt to be comprehensive.  It contains
  some common pitfalls that the authors have discovered while parsing
  IPv6 identifiers in SIP implementations.

6.  Acknowledgments

  The authors thank Jeroen van Bemmel, Dennis Bijwaard, Gonzalo
  Camarillo, Bob Gilligan, Alan Jeffrey, Larry Kollasch, Erik Nordmark,
  Kumiko Ono, Pekka Pessi, Jon Peterson, and other members of the SIP-
  related working groups for input provided during the construction of
  the document and discussion of the test cases.

  This work is being discussed on the [email protected] mailing list.

  A.B. Nataraju and A.C. Mahendran provided working group last call
  comments.

  Mohamed Boucadair and Brian Carpenter suggested new test cases for
  inclusion in the document.

Appendix A.  Bit-Exact Archive of Each Test Message

  The following text block is an encoded, gzip compressed TAR archive
  of files that represent each of the example messages discussed in
  Section 4.

  To recover the compressed archive file intact, the text of this
  document may be passed as input to the following Perl script (the
  output should be redirected to a file or piped to "tar -xzvf -").

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  my $bdata = "";
  use MIME::Base64;
  while(<>) {
    if (/-- BEGIN MESSAGE ARCHIVE --/ .. /-- END MESSAGE ARCHIVE --/) {
         if ( m/^\s*[^\s]+\s*$/) {
             $bdata = $bdata . $_;
         }
    }
  }
  print decode_base64($bdata);

  Alternatively, the base-64 encoded block can be edited by hand to
  remove document structure lines and fed as input to any base-64
  decoding utility.
