Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of IP communication, and more particularly to a method for providing Internet Protocol (IP) telephony with quality of service (QoS) using end-to-end Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP signaling.)
- IP Internet Protocol
- QoS quality of service
- RSS Resource Reservation Protocol
- the Internet community is working toward one day having all forms of inter-personal communication carried over the Internet.
- Video broadcasts, radio transmissions, computer data and telephone systems will merge into one medium and be transported anywhere in the world without any loss of perceived quality.
- IP communications such as IP telephony and other IP communication services will require a quality of service (QoS) equal to or better than that currently available on digital circuit switched networks.
- QoS quality of service
- Session Initiation Protocol was developed for call setup
- Open Settlement Protocol was developed for authorization and usage reporting and is used between policy servers and a clearing house for pricing, usage exchange and settlements for services
- COPS Common Outsourcing Policy Service
- COPS was developed for policy deployment in network elements and is used between the policy server and other network elements to communicate policy applicable for microflows that have QoS support
- RSVP Resource Reservation Protocol
- RSVP is an end-to-end signaling protocol and can be used between corresponding telephony clients in the respective domains; Subnet Bandwidth Manager (SBM) was developed for setting up RSVP initiated QoS in 802.x style LANs; and Differentiated Services (DiffServ) was developed for setting up QoS traffic classes in IP backbones.
- SBM Subnet Bandwidth Manager
- DiffServ Differentiated Services
- a method for implementing IP telephony with QoS using end-to-end RSVP signaling that comprises the transfer of a unique sequence of messages prior to, during, and after IP communications.
- the sequence is not arbitrary as the parameters communicated in a previous message may be used in the follow-up messages. While the message exchanges for the protocols listed above are well documented and understood when each is used in isolation, this is not the case when they are used together.
- the present invention discloses a method whereby the separate protocols are used together to setup, maintain, and teardown Internet communications having an acceptable level of QoS. This is accomplished by dynamically establishing RSVP policy based on SIP telephony requests.
- the application defines two options for QoS support for IP telephony: PSTN-style "QoS assured" where QoS is guaranteed, and Internet-style "QoS enabled” where only partial or no QoS may be available.
- the application deploys QoS in two ways: 1) "Pull” method, QoS is outsourced to the servers or 2) "Push” method, QoS is provided locally to the routers.
- the method of providing quality of service (QoS) in an Internet Protocol (IP) telephony session between a calling party and called party comprises the steps of providing transporting IP media for the session between said calling party and a first device having IP capability; providing transporting IP media for the session between the called party and a second device having IP capability; establishing an IP connection between said first device and the second device; and reserving network resources for the telephony session.
- QoS quality of service
- IP Internet Protocol
- While the represent invention focuses on the use of RSVP for end-to-end signaling of QoS reservations, the concepts can also be extended for use with any end-to-end reservation protocol.
- the same concept also applies to dynamically establishing DiffServ policy based on SIP telephony requests wherein the policy is provisioned on a real time basis to the router (PUSH) instead of the router querying for the policy on a real time basis (PULL).

- the application defines two options for QoS support for IP telephony: PSTN-style "QoS assured” where QoS is guaranteed, and Internet-style "QoS enabled” where only partial or no QoS may be available.
- the application deploys QoS in two ways: 1) QoS is outsourced to servers “pull” method, or 2) QoS is provided locally “Push” method.
- the method of providing quality of service (QoS) in an Internet Protocol (IP) telephony session between a calling party and a called party comprises the steps of providing transporting IP media for the session between said calling party and a first device having IP capability; providing transporting IP media for the session between the called party and a second device having IP capability; establishing an IP connection between said first device and the second device; and reserving network resources for the telephony session.
- QoS quality of service
- IP Internet Protocol
- policy refers to a combination of rules defining criteria for network resource access and usage
- QoS assured refers to the situation when the telephone call will complete only after all the network resources required for a specified QoS level are assured by such means as a successful RSVP reservation from end-to-end.
- QoS enabled refers to the situation when only partial or no QoS may be available due to the inability to guarantee end-to-end quality of service or temporarily high network traffic.
- the "Pull" Model refers to the situation when network elements initiate a COPS query to the policy server. For example, the network element receives a RSVP PATH or
- the policy server upon positive acknowledgment from the local database and/or the clearinghouse server, the policy server confirms policy in network elements to accept RSVP
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a reference model for IP communication of the telephony type.
- the reference model has been chosen to represent many instances found in IP telephony or other types of IP communications. It is not, however, an exhaustive model, but rather serve the purpose of defining the message exchange between networks and network elements.
- the reference model of FIG. 1 has two types of clients: 1) at least one analog or digital phone 110, 1 11 that connects to the IP network via circuit switched network 100, 101 (PBX) and IP telephony gateways (GWY) 135, 136; and 2) at least one IP client such as an IP phone 1 15 or various types of computers 130.
- IP telephony gateways 135, 136, IP phones 115 and computers 130 are considered clients for SIP call setup and RSVP signaling for network resources.
- ISPs 120, 121 provide access to an IP backbone 190 while the local exchange carrier (LEC) for circuit switched telephony and the private branch exchange (PBX) provide access to the ISPs 100, 101.
- LEC local exchange carrier
- PBX private branch exchange
- the physical connections between the ISPs, PBXs, and the IP telephony gateways can be any suitable media. In general, most of the Internet traffic travels over fiber optic cable, coax cable and twisted pair wire.
- the ISPs may also be referred to as an Access Network, i.e. an IP network to which users connect directly to their hosts/clients for IP communications or various servers for such communications.
- the access network is part of a single administrative domain, such as Internet Service providers (ISPs), corporate networks, government and educational organizations.
- ISPs Internet Service providers
- the IP backbone may also be referred to as a Transit Network, and there may be one or several transit networks in between two or more access networks. Since transit networks are sometimes referred to as backbone networks, the distinctions between them are somewhat fuzzy since a transit network may also act as an access network. For the model used here, a transit network has no directly connected hosts for the particular session, be it telephony or any other type. A transit network in the present model has no knowledge of individual microflows of data, such as phone calls between parties connected to adjacent access
- Policy servers 140, 141, and 142 (1) authorize internal QoS for microflows (2) may communicate for telephony purposes with an outside clearinghouse or (3) communicate directly with an outside policy server in the correspondent administrative domain.
- the policy servers use COPS for policy deployment in their respective elements.
- COPS is a query and response protocol that can be used to exchange policy information between a policy server and its clients.
- COPS RSVP capable edge routers Rl and R2, 160 and 161 are similarly situated in their respective networks to route network traffic.
- the edge routers act as gates for QoS support for clients requesting service.
- the edge routers perform the following functions: 1) Acts as policy enforcement point (PEP) under control of the policy server to accept or reject RSVP requests for clients; 2) provides traffic shaping, i.e.
- PEP policy enforcement point
- the edge routers Rl 160 and R2 161 communicate with border routers 170, 171.
- the border routers protect the transit network against theft of service and of possible denial of service attacks by border routers facing edge routers in the adjacent access network. Traffic between edge routers and border routers is protected by the physical security of the data link.
- the border router policies the ingress traffic from the edge router in the access network.
- SPS 150, 151 act as policy enforcement points (PEP) to authorize calls requested by SIP clients 1 10, 11 1, 1 15 and 130.
- PEP policy enforcement points
- the SIP proxy server acts on the behalf of and provides services to all clients in the access network or the administrative domain.
- Clients requesting call setup have to be first registered with the SIP server before obtaining authorization for QoS supported calls. After registration with the SIP server, the server may handle all call requests to/from that client. This does not exclude however direct client-client call setup without the benefits of any SIP server. Such direct client-client call setups can be faster and may be desirable for special services, such as the equivalent of the hot line. Clients that are not registered and authorized for direct calling cannot have the QoS benefit via the support from the SIP and policy servers.
- a Service Level Specification (not shown) refers to a machine readable agreement between the access network provider and transit network provider with regard to QoS and other features.
- SLSs are of static nature, though there is interest in signaling for dynamic delivery of QoS between service providers, such as in the case of bandwidth broker services.
- a Clearing House server (CH) 180 serves several functions pertinent to call setup with QoS.
- clearing house server 180 acts as a trust broker between a large number of network providers, an optional gateway location service for IP telephony, an authorization for QoS (similar to credit card authorization in commerce), a collector of usage reports, and as a means of settlement between service providers.
- All of the above network elements operate together to setup, maintain and close a telephone conversation on the Internet.
- Each network element responds to a unique set of messages and commands. While the message exchanges for the protocols listed above are well documented and understood separately, when used together with all of the network elements, this is not the case.
- FIG. 2 there is shown a call flow diagram illustrating a call setup request, authorization and policy installation according to the present invention.
- the call setup request, authorization and policy installation occur as follows: a) a SIP client (phone) 1 15 requests call setup from a SIPl proxy server 150; b) SIPl 150 checks a local policy server POL1 140; c) Local policy server POL1 140 checks with a clearing house server CH 180; d) SIPl 150 request call setup from a remote SIP2 152; e) SIP2 151 checks a local policy server POL2 141 ; f) Local policy server POL2 141 checks with clearing house server CH 180; g) Remote policy server POL2 provisions policy for use by local policy control in edge router R2 161 and SIP2 152; h) If OK, local SIPl 150 gets positive call progress report from remote SIP2 152; i) Local policy is provisioned by POL1 140 in edge router Rl 160 and proxy server SIP 150; and
- SIP 1 150 informs phone 115 of call progress.
- SIP phone 115 initiates a session by sending an SIP INVITE message 1 to proxy server SIPl 150 and requests QoS.
- SIPl 150 then sends a COPS REQ AAA (authentication, authorization, and accounting) message 2 to local/client policy server POL1 140.
- COPS REQ AAA authentication, authorization, and accounting
- local policy server POL1 140 Upon receipt of message 2, local policy server POL1 140 sends an OSP authorization request authentication request AUTHREQ message 3 to clearing house server CH 180. Clearing house server CH 180 responds by sending an OSP Authorization response AUTHRSP message 4 back to POL1 140.
- AUTHRSP message 4 includes an authorization token for use with call setup.
- POL1 140 next sends a COPS DEC (decision) install message 5 to SIPl 150 with the authorization token embedded in the message.
- SIPl 150 requests call setup with remote SIP2 by generating an SIP INVITE message 6 requesting QoS and sending message 6 to SIP2 152.
- SIP2 152 Upon receipt of INVITE message 6, SIP2 152 issues a COPS REQ AAA message 7 to policy server 2 POL2 141.
- Message 7 also contains the authorization token.
- Messages 8,9 and 10 are identical to messages 3,4, and 5 but performed at the remote end.
- SIP2 152 then invites GWY 136 by sending an SIP INVITE message 1 1 that requests QoS. GWY 136 answers with an SIP 183 message 12 and echos that QoS is required. A SIP 183 message signifies session progress.
- SIP2 152 signals policy server POL2 using a COPS REQ LDP (local decision policy) request message 13.
- POL2 141 provisions policy for use by local policy control edge router R2 161 and SIP2 152 by sending a COPS DEC install message 14 to R2 161 and receiving a COPS RPT (report) message 15 from R2 161 when the installation is successful.
- POL2 141 sends a COPS DEC install message 16 to SIP2 152 to install the policy in SIP2 151.
- SIP2 152 When policy is provisioned in the remote end, SIP2 152 sends a SIP 183 message 17 to SIPl 150 which signifies a positive call progression on the remote end. Messages 18-21 are identical to message 13-16 and provision policy in edge router Rl 160 and SIPl 150. Finally, SIPl 150 informs SIP client phone 115 of the call progress by sending SIP 183 message 22.
- FIG 3 there is shown a call flow diagram illustrating QoS setup, resource reservation and completion of the IP telephone call according to the present invention.
- the QoS setup and completion of the IP telephone call occur as follows: a) SIP client 1 15 requests network resources for QoS using RSVP.
- QoS for the flow is enforced per the local policy control.
- the specific policy for the flow was provisioned previously by the SIP outsourced request;
- Remote edge router R2 161 installs QoS in remote Local Area Network (LAN) using SBM and informs Rl 160, the LAN comprises at least one SIP client device;
- Rl 160 installs QoS in LAN using SBM;
- LAN QoS reservation is confirmed end-to-end in one direction;
- e) The same messages in steps (a)-(d) are repeated in the opposite direction;
- Call progress is confirmed as "Ringing" and acknowledged back;
- Two-way RTP (real-time transfer protocol) streaming is established; and
- the parties can say "hello" and have a phone conversation.
- messages 23-31 establish the call flow from caller to callee
- messages 32-40 establish call flow from the callee to the caller.
- messages 41-46 confirm the call progress and acknowledge the confirmation.
- RSVP PATH message is an operation sent by the sender to the receiver requesting a reservation. It follows the same route that the data flow of the reservation will follow.
- the request for resources is sent directly to edge router Rl 160 rather than require edge router Rl 161 to request a policy decision from policy server POLL In this manner, QoS is installed directly in Rl 160 and decisions concerning policy are enforced per the local policy control. Recall that the specific policy for the ⁇ bw v s' provisioned previously by the SIP outsourced request.
- Edge router Rl 160 forwards message 23 to remote edge router R2 161 as message 24.
- Edge router R2 161 installs QoS in the local area network LAN using the SBM by sending RSVP PATH message 25.
- the PATH message request resource reservation.
- GWY 136 informs edge router Rl 160 of the installation by sending RSVP RESV message 26 to edge router Rl 160.
- RSVP RESV messages reserves resources along the paths between each device. This message is forwarded to edge router Rl 160 in the form of message 27.
- Router Rl 160 then proceeds to install QoS in the LAN using the SBM by issuing RSVP RESV message 28.
- the LAN QoS reservation is then confirmed end-to-end in one direction using RSVP RESV-CONF messages 29,30 and 31. Resource reservation for QoS is established in the reverse direction using the same message formats as in the forward direction. Specifically, messages 32-34 correspond to message 23, messages 35-37 correspond to message 26 and messages 38-40 correspond to message 29.
- an SIP 200 OK message 41 is sent from GWY 136 to SIP2 152, modified and sent to SIPl 150 as message 42 and delivered to SIP client 1 15 as message 43.
- the acknowledgment is orchestrated by sending a SIP ACK message 44 from client 1 15 to SIPl 150.
- the message is modified and sent to SIP2 152 as message 45.
- an SIP ACK message 46 is sent from SIP2 152 to GWY 136.
- FIG. 4 there is shown a call flow diagram illustration RSVP teardown signaling and the release of QoS resources. After a call is setup and RSPV has been established, either user may signal RSVP to release the resources and teardown the QoS.
- the message exchange occurs as follows: a) Client sends PATHTEAR message. PATHTEAR is propagated to remote gateway 136; .
- QoS is de-installed by edge router Rl 160 in local LAN: c) Local accounting report for removal of policy is provided by edge router Rl 160 to policy server POLl, and this report is also used if real-time usage reporting is needed; d) RSVP path teardown is signaled to remote gateway 136; e) Remote accounting report is provided by edge route R2 162 to policy server f) QOS resources are released in remote LAN; and g) Edge router R2 provides remote accounting report to policy server POL2.
- the message exchange is described in detail in FIG. 4. The teardown is initiated when SIP client phone 1 15 sends an RSVP PATHTEAR message 401 to router Rl 160.
- PATHTEAR messages request teardown of reserved resources. PATHEAR message 401 is then propagated to remote router R2 161 as message 402 and terminates at gateway GWY
- the PATHTEAR message is sent by a sender toward a receiver and indicates that data flow is terminated. Router 160 then issues an accounting report message
- a PATHTEAR message 405 is generated and sent to SIP phone client 1 15, and a RESVTEAR message 406 is sent to router R2 161 and GWY 136. RESVTEAR messages actually remove reserved resources. Router R2 then issues an accounting report message 407 to policy server POL2 141. Finally, R2 issues a
- FIG. 5 there is shown a call flow diagram illustration a generic QoS usage reporting to a clearinghouse.
- clearing house server CH 180 has several functions including, among others, acting as a collector of usage reports, and acting as a means of settlement between service providers.
- SIP client phone 115 Usage by SIP client phone 115 is first reported by policy server POLl 140 to clearing house server CH 180 in message 501 and then confirmed in message 502. Remote usage is similarly reported by policy server POL2 141 to clearing house server CH 180 in message 503 and confirmed in message 506.
- FIG. 6 there is shown a call flow diagram illustrating a call teardown with background usage update.
- the users Upon completion of the phone call, the users exchange parting words and hang up the phone. This event triggers the release of network resources and may initiate the generation of usage reports for subsequent billing.
- the usage reports can be generated either independent of the call and QoS teardown (FIG. 6) or contemporaneously with the call and QoS teardown (FIG. 7.)
- the latter option can support the instantaneous settlement of charges but adds OSP usage reporting messages to the teardown message exchange.
- the call teardown is initiated when SIP client phone 1 15 sends a SIP BYE message 601 to SIPl 150.
- the message is propagated to GWY 136 in the forms of messages 602 and 603.
- SIPl 150 sends a 200 OK message 604 to SIP client 1 15 confirming the BYE message 601.
- SIPl 150 then issues a COPS REQ no LDP (remove local decision policy) message 605 and removes the local decision policy from the LAN and router Rl 160 with a COPS DEC Rem (COPS remove decision) message 606.
- a usage report RPT message 607 is generated and sent to policy server POLl .
- POLl 140 sends a COPS DEC message 608 to SIPl 150 and removes the policy from SIPl 150.
- RSVP path teardown is signaled to remote gatew'ay ⁇ U36 from router Rl 160 using RSVP PATHTEAR message 609. Resources are released and path teardown is signaled using RSVP RESVTEAR message 610 and RSVP PATHTEAR message 61 1.
- Message 612 removes network resources and is similar to message 610.

- FIG. 8A illustrates a call flow diagram for a QoS assured call setup using a "PULL" model for implementing the local policy or QoS deployment in the network routers according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the assured QoS example represents an SIP initiated and controlled QoS policy .
- the integration of the QoS signaling with the SIP signaling by the application provides feedback during call setup on whether the media streams receive the requested QoS.
- the SIP application is able to react according to this feedback received during call setup.
- This integration also provides a mechanism for SIP to dynamically initiate policy control for the call by providing call specific data such as the media description to the policy server. This information is used by the policy server to administer the enforcement of media stream access to QoS. The information is also used later for SIP initiated RSVP state removal. After call establishment, the re-negotiation of QoS can be accomplished by following the same mechanism as used for call set-up.
- the QoS assured "Pull" Model coordinates the implementation of QoS policy with the SIP signaling during the call setup. Initially, if clearinghouse 180 is used, the clearinghouse policy is determined for the call. SIPl and SIP2 150, 152 then determine network access and feature information and dynamically relay the information to the policy servers 140, 141 in a COPS REQUEST assured message. Finally, the QoS resource policy is outsourced by the RSVP edge routers 150, 161 during the RSVP signaling phase using COPS.
- the call sequence begins when SIP phone 1 15 initiates a session by sending an SIP INVITE message 801 to proxy server SIPl 150 and requests QoS SIPl 150 then sends/outsources a COPS REQ OSPS message 802 requesting AAA (authentication, authorization, and accounting) to a first/local policy server POLl 140.
- AAA authentication, authorization, and accounting
- local policy server POLl 140 Upon receipt of message 802, local policy server POLl 140 sends an OSP authorization request ⁇ AUTHREQ> message 803 to clearing house server CH 180. Clearing house server CH 180 responds by sending an OSP Authorization response ⁇ AUTHRSP> message 804 back to POL 1 140.
- AUTHRSP message 804 includes an authorization token for use with call setup.
- POLl 140 next sends a COPS DEC (decision) install message 805 to SIPl 150 with the authorization token embedded in the message.
- SIPl 150 requests call setup with a second/remote SIP2 by generating an SIP INVITE message 806 requesting QoS and sending message 806 to SIP2 152.
- SIP2 152 invites GWY 136 by sending an SIP INVITE message 807 that requests QoS.
- GWY 136 answers with an SIP
- a SIP 183 message signifies session progress SIP2 152 issues a COPS REQ assure message 809 to policy server 2 POL2 141.

- FIG. 1 IA illustrates a call flow diagram of a QoS enabled call setup using a "PULL" model for implementing the local policy or QoS deployment in the network routers according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the QoS is determined independently from SIP session establishment.
- the SIP session is not delayed to ascertain the QoS for the call.
- the QoS request is evaluated after establishment of the SIP session.
- the QoS is controlled by information contained in the RSVP signaled and the pre-provisioned policy rules.
- There is no additional delay in call setup is introduced by the model as experienced with the QoS Assured Model.
- the initial moments of the session may experience best effort side-effects such as voice clipping until the RSVP signaling is completed or that QoS is established at all for the call.
- Call setup includes messages 901 to 907 which are the same as steps 801 to 807 of FIG. 8 A and messages 908 to 916 which are the same as messages 853 to 861 of FIG. 9B.
- QoS is installed in the same manner as in the assured model. Specifically, messages 917 to 954 of FIGS. 1 IB and 12 correspond to messages 815 to 852 of FIG. 8B and 9A.
- FIG. 13 is call flow diagram illustrating a QoS enabled call takedown using a "PULL" Model for implementing the local policy or QoS deployment in the network routers according to an embodiment of the present invention.
