Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 10 Overview of MSN Voice.NET - Phase 1 • October, 2001 - MSN Voice.NET project goes live • MSN Messenger client will support SIP for VoIP calls - PC to PC calls (now) - PC to PSTN calls (now) - PSTN to PC calls • MSN will work with worldwide ITSPs to terminate the VoIP calls. • MSN will own the customers, but ITSPs own the billing of the customers for PSTN calls. © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.

MSN user dials a PSTN number from the MSN Messenger client. 13 MSN Voice.NET Architecture – User Sign-Up • The MSN user will select an ITSP when they sign-up for the service. - The lists of ITSPs is provided at this time. - The MSN user’s preference is loaded into the MSN SIP Proxy - This will allow the ITSP to “advertise” on the MSN client • MSN will provide the MSN user information to the ITSP via an external “push” mechanism. - MSN user information is provided by the Passport (PUID) login service - The PUID (Passport User ID) identifies the MSN user - The PUID password is not provided to the ITSP - The PUID must be used to bill the MSN user © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 14 MSN Voice.NET Architecture – MSN Proxy Provisioning • MSN User <-> ITSP preference will be provisioned in the MSN SIP Proxy - All calls from specific MSN user will go to a specific ITSP - MSN currently doesn’t define calling areas (Regional or International) per ITSP • MSN will keep a list of ITSP SIP Proxy servers in their routing tables - Route to ITSP-A would point to proxy.itsp-a.com - The route points to the DNS SRV record of the ITSP Proxy © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 16 MSN Voice.NET Architecture – ITSP Routing • MSN Proxy will route PSTN calls to the ITSP SIP Proxy servers. • MSN will add a “Record-Route:” header to all INVITE messages, so it sees the BYE messages. • MSN will add a “Proxy-Authorization:” header, will encodes the PUID in base64. • ITSP is responsible for getting the call to the PSTN via a SIP-GW. © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.

IPSec VPN is used. • ITSP must provide a VoIP capable (within defined delay budgets) network. • ITSP must be responsible for providing the billing to the MSN user. • ITSP must support SIP, UDP or TCP calls. • ITSP must support RFC2833 for DTMF-Relay. • ITSP must support G.711 and G.723 codecs • ITSP must be verified against the MSN “Saturn” test-lab. © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 20 MSN Voice.NET Technical Challenges • Billing model is not explicitly defined by MSN. - ITSP could use prepaid or postpaid - GW must be able to support either model • SIP-GW needed some new functionality - RFC2833 for DTMF-Relay - Addition for MSN-specific headers & tags - Co-existance testing with H.323 • SIP Proxy needed some new functionality - New RADIUS VSAs required - Addition for MSN-specific headers © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 21 SIP Billing Models • Billing relationships can be: • Retail – ITSP has a direct billing relationship with • MSN / MSN users Wholesale – Terminating ITSP will partner with a retail ASP or another ITSP and bill them for total number of minutes. ASP / partner ITSP provides subscriber billing. • Billing model can be: • Post-Paid – bill the MSN user at the end of the month for total minutes used. • Pre-Paid – deduct from a pre-paid account for minutes used on a per call basis • Billing collection point can be: • Gateways – on the edge of the network • Proxy / B2BUA - core of the network © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Voice.NET - “ITSP in a Box” 22 H.323 vs. SIP Billing Differences GK H.225, H.245, H.323 PSTN OGW TGW • RAS signaling between the GW and GK provides next-hop address resolution • VoIP signaling is direct between GWs, so TGW can bill the call off the IP Address of OGW Wholesale ITSP Retail ITSP INVITE INVITE INVITE TGW MSN User PSTN • SIP signaling is hop-by-hop between UAs and Proxies • TGW knows previous-hop as upstream Proxy. • TGW needs to look at Via:, Contact: or Record-Route headers © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc.
