Call-ID Reporting for Outbound SIP Calls

Overview

This feature allows host application developers to solicit Call-ID information for outbound SIP calls.

Pertinent Specification

RFC 2543/3261

Description

The SIP Call-ID is a globally unique session identifier that you can use for several purposes, including call logging and billing correlation.

The CSP SIP software reports Call-ID information for inbound calls. With this feature, the same capability is provided for outbound calls.

API Messages

• Route Control (0x00E8)

• Outseize Control (0x002C)

Configuring

It is optional to report the Call-ID for an outbound SIP call. You use bit number 16 in the SIP Message Information Mask TLV (0x027F) to enable or disable the information reporting.

If this bit is set in the SIP software configuration, the software will report the Call-ID information in the ACK response to the Route Control and Outseize Control messages. The information is contained in the SIP Call ID TLV (0x2950).

Sample Traces

The following are message traces for ACK responses to the Route Control (0x00E8) and Outseize Control (0x002C) messages.

The Call-ID information is contained in the SIP Call-ID TLV 0x2950 as highlighted below.
