                                                             July 2015
    Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) Message Handling
             for SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs)

Abstract

 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs)
 are often designed to be on the media path rather than just
 intercepting signaling.  This means that B2BUAs often act on the
 media path leading to separate media legs that the B2BUA correlates
 and bridges together.  When acting on the media path, B2BUAs are
 likely to receive Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) packets
 as part of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) processing.
 This document defines behavior for a B2BUA performing ICE processing.
 The goal of this document is to ensure that B2BUAs properly handle
 SIP messages that carry ICE semantics in Session Description Protocol
 (SDP) and STUN messages received as part of the ICE procedures for
 NAT and Firewall traversal of multimedia sessions.

1. Introduction

 In many SIP deployments, SIP entities exist in the SIP signaling and
 media path between the originating and final terminating endpoints,
 which go beyond the definition of a traditional SIP proxy.  These SIP
 entities, commonly known as B2BUAs, are described in [RFC7092] and
 often perform functions not defined in Standards Track RFCs.
 SIP [RFC3261] and other session control protocols that try to use a
 direct path for media are typically difficult to use across Network
 Address Translators (NATs).  These protocols use IP addresses and
 transport port numbers encoded in the signaling, such as SDP
 [RFC4566] and, in the case of SIP, various header fields.  Such
 addresses and ports are unreachable if any peers are separated by
 NATs.

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

 Mechanisms such as STUN [RFC5389], Traversal Using Relays around NAT
 (TURN) [RFC5766], and ICE [RFC5245] did not exist when protocols like
 SIP began to be deployed.  Some mechanisms, such as the early
 versions of STUN, started appearing, but they were unreliable and
 suffered a number of issues typical for UNilateral Self-Address
 Fixing (UNSAF) as described in [RFC3424].  For these reasons, B2BUAs
 are being used by SIP domains for SIP and media-related purposes.
 These B2BUAs use proprietary mechanisms to enable SIP devices behind
 NATs to communicate across the NAT.
 [RFC7362] describes how B2BUAs can perform Hosted NAT Traversal (HNT)
 in certain deployments.  Section 5 of [RFC7362] describes some of the
 issues with Session Border Controllers (SBCs) implementing HNT and
 offers some mitigation strategies.  The most commonly used approach
 to solve these issues is "restricted-latching", defined in Section 5
 of [RFC7362], whereby the B2BUA will not latch to any packets from a
 source public IP address other than the one the SIP User Agent (UA)
 uses for SIP signaling.  However, this is susceptible to attacks
 where an attacker who is able to see the source IP address of the SIP
 UA may generate packets using the same IP address.  There are other
 threats described in Section 5 of [RFC7362] for which Secure Real-
 time Transport Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] can be used as a solution.
 However, this would require the B2BUAs to terminate and reoriginate
 SRTP, which is not always desirable.
 This document describes proper behavior of B2BUAs performing ICE
 processing.  This includes defining consistent handling of SIP
 messages carrying ICE semantics in SDP and STUN messages received as
 part of the ICE procedures performed on the media path for NAT and
 Firewall traversal of multimedia sessions.
 A B2BUA can use ICE [RFC5245], which provides authentication tokens
 (conveyed in the ice-ufrag and ice-pwd attributes) that allow the
 identity of a peer to be confirmed before engaging in media exchange.
 This can solve some of the security concerns with HNT solution.
 Further, ICE has other benefits like selecting an address when more
 than one address is available (e.g., a dual-stack environment where
 the host can have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses), verifying that a
 path works before connecting the call, etc.  For these reasons,
 endpoints often use ICE to pick a candidate pair for media traffic
 between two agents.
 B2BUAs often operate on the media path and have the ability to modify
 SIP headers and SDP bodies as part of their normal operation.  Such
 entities, when present on the media path, are likely to take an
 active role in the session signaling depending on their level of
 activity on the media path.  For example, some B2BUAs modify portions
 of the SDP body (e.g., IP address, port) and subsequently modify the

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

 media packet headers as well.  Section 18.6 of ICE [RFC5245] explains
 two different behaviors when B2BUAs are present.  Some B2BUAs are
 likely to remove all the SDP ICE attributes before sending the SDP
 across to the other side.  Consequently, the call will appear to both
 endpoints as though the other side doesn't support ICE.  There are
 other types of B2BUAs that pass the ICE attributes without
 modification, yet modify the default destination for media contained
 in the "m=" and "c=" lines and the RTCP attribute (defined in
 [RFC3605]).  This will be detected as an ice-mismatch, and ICE
 processing will be aborted for the session.  The session may continue
 if the endpoints are able to reach each other over the default
 candidate (sent in "m=" and "c=" lines).
 Section 3.1.3 of [RFC7092] defines a SDP-Modifying Signaling-only
 B2BUA that operates in the signaling plane only and is not in the
 media path, but it does modify SDP bodies and is thus aware of and
 understands SDP syntax and semantics.  Such B2BUA MUST follow the
 behavior mentioned in Section 3.
 Section 3.2 of [RFC7092] describes three different categories of
 B2BUAs that operate on both the signaling (SIP and SDP) and media
 planes according to the level of involvement and active participation
 in the media plane:
 o  A B2BUA that acts as a simple media relay.  It is effectively
    unaware of anything that is transported and only modifies the
    transport header (could be UDP/IP) of the media packets.
 o  A B2BUA that performs a media-aware role.  It inspects and
    potentially modifies RTP or RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) headers;
    but it does not modify the payload of RTP/RTCP.
 o  A B2BUA that performs a media-termination role and operates at the
    media payload layer, such as RTP/RTCP payload (e.g., a
    transcoder).
 When B2BUAs that operate on the media plane (media relay, media
 aware, or media termination) are involved in a session between two
 endpoints performing ICE, then it MUST follow the behavior described
 in Section 4.

2. Terminology

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

 All of the pertinent B2BUA terminology and taxonomy used in this
 document is defined in [RFC7092].
 NATs are widely used in the Internet by consumers and organizations.
 Although specific NAT behaviors vary, this document uses the term
 "NAT", which maps to NAT and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT)
 terms from [RFC3022], for devices that map any IPv4 or IPv6 address
 and transport port number to another IPv4 or IPv6 address and
 transport port number.  This includes consumer NATs, Firewall-NATs,
 IPv4-IPv6 NATs, Carrier-Grade NATs (CGNs) [RFC6888], etc.

3. SDP-Modifying Signaling-only B2BUA

 An SDP-Modifying Signaling-only B2BUA is one that operates in the
 signaling plane only and is not in the media path, but it modifies
 SDP bodies as described in Section 3.1.3 of [RFC7092].  Such B2BUAs
 MUST NOT change the IP address in the "c=" line, the port in the "m="
 line, and the ICE semantics of SDP, as doing so can cause an ice-
 mismatch.

4. Media Plane B2BUAs

4.1. Overview

 When one or both of the endpoints are behind a NAT, and there is a
 B2BUA between the endpoints, the B2BUAs MUST support ICE or at a
 minimum support ICE lite functionality as described in [RFC5245].
 Such B2BUAs MUST use the mechanism described in Section 2.2 of
 [RFC5245] to demultiplex STUN packets that arrive on the RTP/RTCP
 port.
 The subsequent sections describe the behavior B2BUAs MUST follow for
 handling ICE messages.  A B2BUA can terminate ICE and thus have two
 ICE contexts with either endpoint.  The reason for ICE termination
 could be due to the need for B2BUA to be in the media path (e.g.,
 address hiding for privacy, interworking between ICE to no-ICE,
 etc.).  A B2BUA can also be in optional ICE termination mode and
 passes across the candidate list and STUN short-term credentials
 (ice-ufrag and ice-pwd attributes) from one endpoint to the other
 side after adding its own candidates.  A B2BUA can be in optional ICE
 termination mode when it does not have a need to be on the media
 path.  The below sections describe the behaviors for these two cases.

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

4.2. Mandatory ICE Termination with B2BUA

 A B2BUA that wishes to always be in the media path follows these
 steps:
 o  When a B2BUA sends out the SDP, it MUST advertise support for ICE
    and MAY include B2BUA's candidates of different types for each
    component of each media stream.
 o  If the B2BUA is in ICE lite mode as described in Section 2.7 of
    [RFC5245], then it MUST send an a=ice-lite attribute and MUST
    include B2BUA host candidates for each component of each media
    stream.
 o  If the B2BUA supports full ICE, then it MAY include B2BUA's
    candidates of different types for each component of each media
    stream.
 o  The B2BUA MUST generate new username and password values for ice-
    ufrag and ice-pwd attributes when it sends out the SDP and MUST
    NOT propagate the ufrag password values it received in the
    incoming SDP.  This ensures that the short-term credentials used
    for both the legs are different.  The short-term credentials
    include authentication tokens (conveyed in the ice-ufrag and ice-
    pwd attributes), which the B2BUA can use to verify the identity of
    the peer.  The B2BUA terminates the ICE messages on each leg and
    does not propagate them.
 o  The B2BUA MUST NOT propagate the candidate list received in the
    incoming SDP to the outbound SDP and instead only advertise its
    candidate list.  The B2BUA MUST also add its default candidate in
    the "c=" line (IP address) and "m=" line (port).  In this way, the
    B2BUA will be always in the media path.
 o  Depending on whether the B2BUA supports ICE lite or full ICE, it
    implements the appropriate procedures mentioned in [RFC5245] for
    ICE connectivity checks.

            Figure 1: INVITE with SDP Having ICE and with a
                   Media Plane B2BUA Terminating ICE

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

 The above figure shows an example call flow with two endpoints, Alice
 and Bob, using ICE processing, and a B2BUA handing STUN messages from
 both the endpoints.  For the sake of brevity, the entire list of ICE
 SDP attributes are not shown.  Also, the STUN messages exchanged as
 part of ICE connectivity checks are not shown.  Key steps to note
 from the call flow are:
 o  Alice sends an INVITE with SDP having ICE candidates.
 o  The B2BUA modifies the received SDP from Alice by removing the
    received candidate list, gathering its own candidates, and
    generating new username and password values for ice-ufrag and ice-
    pwd attributes.  The B2BUA also changes the "c=" line and "m="
    line to have its default candidate and forwards the INVITE (Step
    3) to Bob.
 o  Bob responds (Step 5) to the INVITE with his own list of
    candidates.
 o  The B2BUA responds to the INVITE from Alice with SDP having a
    B2BUA candidate list.  The B2BUA generates new username and
    password values for ice-ufrag and ice-pwd attributes in the 200 OK
    response (Step 6).
 o  ICE Connectivity checks happen between Alice and the B2BUA in Step
    9.  Depending on whether the B2BUA supports ICE or ICE lite, it
    will follow the appropriate procedures mentioned in [RFC5245].
    ICE Connectivity checks also happen between Bob and the B2BUA in
    Step 10.  Steps 9 and 10 happen in parallel.  The B2BUA always
    terminates the ICE messages on each leg and has two independent
    ICE contexts running.
 o  Media flows between Alice and Bob via B2BUA (Steps 11 and 12).
 o  STUN keepalives would be used between Alice and B2BUA (Step 13)
    and between Bob and B2BUA (Step 14) to keep NAT and Firewall
    bindings alive.
 Since there are two independent ICE contexts on either side of the
 B2BUA, it is possible that ICE checks will conclude on one side
 before concluding on the other side.  This could result in an ongoing
 media session for one end while the other is still being set up.  Any
 such media received by the B2BUA would continue to be sent to the
 other side on the default candidate address (that was sent in "c="
 line).

4.3. Optional ICE Termination with B2BUA

 A B2BUA willing to be in the media path only for NAT traversal, but
 that does not otherwise require to be in the media path, can do the
 following steps mentioned in this section.
 o  When a B2BUA receives an incoming SDP with ICE semantics, it
    copies the received candidate list and appends its own candidate
    list in the outgoing SDP.  The B2BUA also copies the ufrag/
    password values it received in the incoming SDP to the outgoing
    SDP and then sends out the SDP.
 o  The B2BUA's candidates MAY have lower priority than the candidates
    provided by the endpoint, this way the endpoint and remote peer
    candidate pairs are tested first before trying candidate pairs
    with B2BUA's candidates.
 o  After offer/answer is complete, the endpoints will have both the
    B2BUAs and remote peer candidates.  It will then use ICE
    procedures described in Section 8 of [RFC5245] to nominate a
    candidate pair for sending and receiving media streams.
 o  With this approach, the B2BUA will be in the media path only if
    the ICE checks between all the candidate pairs formed from both
    the endpoints fail.

            Figure 2: INVITE with SDP Having ICE and with a
          Media Plane B2BUA in Optional ICE Termination Mode

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

 The above figure shows a sample call flow with two endpoints, Alice
 and Bob, doing ICE, and a B2BUA handing STUN messages from both the
 endpoints.  For the sake of brevity, the entire ICE SDP attributes
 are not shown.  Also, the STUN messages exchanged as part of the ICE
 connectivity checks are not shown.  Key steps to note from the call
 flow are:
 o  Alice sends an INVITE with an SDP having its own candidate list.
 o  The B2BUA propagates the received candidate list in incoming SDP
    from Alice after adding its own candidate list.  The B2BUA also
    propagates the received ice-ufrag and ice-pwd attributes from
    Alice in the INVITE (Step 3) to Bob.  In this example, the B2BUA
    does not modify the default candidate sent in the "c=" line and
    "m=" line and retains the values sent originally from Alice.  If
    B2BUA wants to be in the media path when ICE connectivity checks
    between endpoints fails or one of the endpoints does not support
    ICE, then it overwrites its candidate address and port as a
    default candidate in the "m=" and "c=" lines.
 o  Bob responds (Step 5) to the INVITE with his own list of
    candidates.
 o  The B2BUA responds to the INVITE from Alice with an SDP having a
    B2BUA's candidate list and the candidate list received from Bob.
    The B2BUA would also propagate the received ice-ufrag and ice-pwd
    attributes from Bob in (Step 5) to Alice in the 200 OK response
    (Step 6).
 o  ICE Connectivity checks happen between Alice and Bob in (Step 9).
    ICE Connectivity checks also happen between Alice and the B2BUA
    and Bob and the B2BUA as shown in Steps 10 and 11.  Steps 9, 10,
    and 11 happen in parallel.  In this example, Alice and Bob
    conclude ICE with a candidate pair that enables them to send media
    directly.
 o  Media flows between Alice and Bob in Step 12.

4.4. STUN Handling in B2BUA with Forked Signaling

 Because of forking, a B2BUA might receive multiple answers for a
 single outbound INVITE.  When this occurs, the B2BUA SHOULD follow
 Sections 3.2 or 3.3 for all of those received answers.

Ravindranath, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 7584 STUN Handling in SIP B2BUAs July 2015

5. Security Considerations

 As described in Section 2.5 of [RFC5245], ICE uses the STUN short-
 term credential mechanism for authentication and message integrity.
 STUN connectivity checks include the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute that
 contains HMAC-SHA1 of the STUN message, and the Hashed Message
 Authentication Code (HMAC) is computed using the key exchanged in the
 signaling channel.  The signaling channel between the endpoints and
 B2BUA MUST be encrypted so that the key is not visible to
 eavesdroppers, otherwise the security benefits of short-term
 authentication would be lost.
