RFC 7329: A Session Identifier for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7989.
Current version: RFC 7989 — End-to-End Session Identification in IP-Based Multimedia Communication Networks
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
There is a need for having a globally unique session identifier for the same SIP session that can be consistently maintained across SIP Proxies, Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUAs), and other SIP middleboxes, for the purpose of troubleshooting. This document proposes a new SIP header to carry such a value: Session-ID. The mechanism defined in this document has been widely deployed, and is being followed in a backward-compatible fashion for a new Standards Track document produced by the INSIPID Working Group.
