SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

[[TOC(Sip*, depth=3)]]

== Introduction ==

This chapter describes the internal architecture and API of the SIP core of the {{{sipsimple}}} library.

{{{sipsimple}}} is a Python package, the core of which wrapps the PJSIP C library, which handles SIP signaling and audio media for the SIP SIMPLE client.

SIP stands for 'Sessions Initiation Protocol', an IETF standard described by [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261 RFC 3261]. SIP is an application-layer control protocol that can establish,

modify and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls

(VoIP). Media can be added to (and removed from) an existing session.

SIP transparently supports name mapping and redirection services, which

supports personal mobility, users can maintain a single externally visible

address identifier, which can be in the form of a standard email address or

E.164 telephone number regardless of their physical network location.

SIP allows the endpoints to negotiate and combine any type of session they

mutually understand like video, instant messaging (IM), file transfer,

desktop sharing and provides a generic event notification system with

real-time publications and subscriptions about state changes that can be

used for asynchronous services like presence, message waiting indicator and

busy line appearance.

== PJSIP library ==

{{{sipsimple}}} builds on PJSIP [http://www.pjsip.org], a set of static libraries, written in C, which provide SIP signaling and media capabilities.

PJSIP is considered to be the most mature and advanced open source SIP stack available.

The following diagram, taken from the PJSIP documentation, illustrates the library stack of PJSIP:

[[Image(http://www.pjsip.org/images/diagram.jpg, nolink)]]

The diagram shows that there is a common base library, and two more or less independent stacks of libraries, one for SIP signaling and one for SIP media.

The latter also includes an abstraction layer for the soundcard.

Both of these stracks are integrated in the high level library, called PJSUA.

PJSIP itself provides a high-level [http://www.pjsip.org/python/pjsua.htm Python wrapper for PJSUA].

Despite this, the choice was made to bypass PJSUA and write the SIP core of the {{{sipsimple}}} package as a Python wrapper, which directly uses the PJSIP and PJMEDIA libraries.

The main reasons for this are the following:

 * PJSUA assumes a session with exactly one audio stream, whilst for the SIP SIMPLE client more advanced (i.e. low-level) manipulation of the SDP is needed.

 * What is advertised as SIMPLE functionality, it is minimal and incomplete subset of it. Only page mode messaging using SIP MESSAGE method and basic device status presence are possible, while session mode IM and rich presence are desired.

 * PJSUA integrates the decoding and encoding of payloads (e.g. presence related XML documents), while in the SIP SIMPLE client this should be done at a high level, not by the SIP stack.

PJSIP itself is by nature asynchronous.

In the case of PJSIP it means that in general there will be one thread which handles reception and transmission of SIP signaling messages by means of a polling function which is continually called by the application.

Whenever the application performs some action through a function, this function will return immediately.

If PJSIP has a result for this action, it will notify the application by means of a callback function in the context of the polling function thread.

> NOTE: Currently the core starts the media handling as a separate C thread to avoid lag caused by the GIL.

> The soundcard also has its own C thread.

== Architecture ==

The {{{sipsimple}}} core wrapper itself is mostly written using [http://cython.org/ Cython] (formerly [http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/ Pyrex]).

It allows a Python-like file with some added C manipulation statements to be compiled to C.

This in turn compiles to a Python C extension module, which links with the PJSIP static libraries.

The SIP core part of the {{{sipsimple}}} Python package is subdivided into three modules:

 '''sipimple.!__init!__'''::

  The the top-level module for the package which just defines the module version and the objects that should be imported when the package user performs {{{import * from sipsimple}}}.

 '''sipsimple.engine'''::

  Python module that contains the {{{Engine}}} singleton class, which manages the thread that constantly polls the PJSIP library, i.e. the PJSIP worker thread.

  For the applications that use the core of {{{sipsimple}}}, the {{{Engine}}} object forms the main entry point.

 '''sipsimple.core'''::

  This is the Python C extension module ultimately compiled from the Cython file and PJSIP static libraries.

  It contains these types of classes:

   * The {{{PJSIPUA}}} class, which can only be instanced once, and is this case is only instanced once by the {{{Engine}}} object.

     In this way the {{{Engine}}} singleton class acts as a wrapper to the one {{{PJSIPUA}}} instance.

     The {{{PJSIPUA}}} class represents the SIP endpoint and manages the initialization and destruction of all the PJSIP libraries.

     It also provides a number of methods.

     The application however should never call these methods directly on the {{{PJSIPUA}}} object, rather it should call them on the {{{Engine}}} wrapper object.

     This object handles everything that for one reason or another cannot or should not be handled from Cython.

   * The classes that represent the main SIP primitives to be used by the application.

     The application can instantiate these classes once the {{{Engine}}} class has been instantiated and the PJSIP worker thread has been started.

     All of these classes represent a state machine.

     * {{{Registration}}}

     * {{{Publication}}}

     * {{{Subscription}}}

     * {{{Invitation}}}

   * Several helper classes, which represent some structured collection of data to be passed as parameter to methods of the SIP primitive classes and to parameters of notifications.

     * {{{SIPURI}}}

     * {{{Credentials}}}

     * {{{Route}}}

   * A number of SDP manipulation classes, which directly wrap the PJSIP structures representing either the parsed or to be generated SDP.

     {{{SDPSession}}} objects may contain references to the other classes and are passed as arguments to methods of a {{{Invitiation}}} object or notifications sent by it.

     * {{{SDPSession}}}

     * {{{SDPMedia}}}

     * {{{SDPConnection}}}

     * {{{SDPAttribute}}}

   * Two classes related to transport of media traffic and audio traffic specifically, built on PJMEDIA.

     These classes can be instantiated independently from the other classes in order to keep signaling and media separate.

     * {{{RTPTransport}}}

     * {{{AudioTransport}}}

   * Two classes related to {{{.wav}}} files, one for playback and one for recording.

     * {{{WaveFile}}}

     * {{{RecordingWaveFile}}}

   * Two exception classes, the second being a subclass of the first.

     * {{{SIPCoreError}}}

     * {{{PJSIPError}}}

   * Classes used internally within the {{{core}}} module, e.g. to wrap a particular PJSIP library.

     These classes are not exposed through the {{{__init__}}} module and should never be used by the application

These classes (except the ones internal to the {{{core}}} module) are illustrated in the following diagram:

[[Image(sipsimple-core-classes.png, nolink)]]

== Integration ==

The core itself has one Python dependency, the [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-application application] module, which in turn depends on the [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface zope.interface] module.

These modules should be present on the system before the core can be used.

An application that uses the SIP core must use the notification system provided by the {{{application}}} module in order to receive notifications from it.

It does this by creating one or more classes that act as an observer for particular messages and registering it with the {{{NotificationCenter}}}, which is a singleton class.

This means that any call to instance an object from this class will result in the same object.

As an example, this bit of code will create an observer for logging messages only:

{{{

from zope.interface import implements

from application.notification import NotificationCenter, IObserver

class SIPEngineLogObserver(object):

    implements(IObserver)

    def handle_notification(self, notification):

        print "%(timestamp)s (%(level)d) %(sender)14s: %(message)s" % notification.data.__dict__

notification_center = NotificationCenter()

log_observer = EngineLogObserver()

notification_center.add_observer(self, name="SIPEngineLog")

}}}

Each notification object has three attributes:

 '''sender'''::

  The object that sent the notification.

  For generic notifications the sender will be the {{{Engine}}} instance, otherwise the relevant object.

 '''name'''::

  The name describing the notification.

  All messages will be described in this document and start with the prefix "SIP".

 '''data'''::

  An instance of {{{application.notification.NotificationData}}} or a subclass of it.

  The attributes of this object provide additional data about the notification.

  Notifications described in this document will also have the data attributes described.

Besides setting up the notification observers, the application should import the relevant objects from the core by issuing the {{{from sipsimple import *}}} statement.

It can then instance the {{{Engine}}} class, which is also a singleton, and start the PJSIP worker thread by calling {{{Engine.start()}}}, optionally providing a number of initialization options.

Most of these options can later be changed at runtime, by setting attributes of the same name on the {{{Engine}}} object.

The application may then instance one of the SIP primitive classes and perform operations on it.

When starting the {{{Engine}}} class, the application can pass a number of keyword arguments that influence the behaviour of the SIP endpoint.

For example, the SIP network ports may be set through the {{{local_udp_port}}}, {{{local_tcp_port}}} and {{{local_tls_port}}} arguments.

The UDP/RTP ports are described by a range of ports through {{{rtp_port_range}}}, two of which will be randomly selected for each {{{RTPTransport}}} object and effectively each audio stream.

The methods called on the SIP primitive objects and the {{{Engine}}} object (proxied to the {{{PJSIPUA}}} instance) may be called from any thread.

They will return immediately and any delayed result, such as results depending on network traffic, will be returned later using a notification.

In this manner the SIP core continues the asynchronous pattern of PJSIP.

If there is an error in processing the request, an instance of {{{SIPCoreError}}}, or its subclass {{{PJSIPError}}} will be raised.

The former will be raised whenever an error occurs inside the core, the latter whenever an underlying PJSIP function returns an error.

The {{{PJSIPError}}} object also contains a status attribute, which is the PJSIP errno as an integer.

As a very basic example, one can REGISTER for a sip account by typing the following lines on a Python console:

{{{

from sipsimple import *

e = Engine()

e.start()

cred = Credentials(SIPURI(user="alice", host="example.com"), "password")

reg = Registration(cred, Route("1.2.3.4"))

reg.register()

}}}

Note that in this example no observer for notifications from this {{{Registration}}} object are registered, so the result of the operation cannot be seen.

To see how this example can be converted to actually wait for the response without creating an observer, see the example for GreenRegistration at [wiki:SipSynchronousAPI#sipsimple.green.core.GreenRegistration SynchronousAPI].

== Components ==

=== Engine ===

As explained above, this singleton class needs to be instantiated by the application using the SIP core of {{{sipsimple}}} and represents the whole SIP core stack.

Once the {{{start()}}} method is called, it instantiates the {{{core.PJSIPUA}}} object and will proxy attribute and methods from it to the application.

==== attributes ====

 '''default_start_options''' (class attribute)::

  This dictionary is a class attribute that describes the default values for the initialization options passed as keyword arguments to the {{{start()}}} method.

  Consult this method for documentation of the contents.

 '''is_running'''::

  A boolean property indicating if the {{{Engine}}} is running and if it is safe to try calling any proxied methods or attributes on it.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::

  This will either create the {{{Engine}}} if it is called for the first time or return the one {{{Engine}}} instance if it is called subsequently.

 '''start'''(''self'', '''**kwargs''')::

  Initialize all PJSIP libraries based on the keyword parameters provited and start the PJSIP worker thread.

  If this fails an appropriate exception is raised.

  After the {{{Engine}}} has been started successfully, it can never be started again after being stopped.

  The keyword arguments will be discussed here.

  Many of these values are also readable as (proxied) attributes on the Engine once the {{{start()}}} method has been called.

  Many of them can also be set at runtime, either by modifying the attribute or by calling a particular method.

  This will also be documented for each argument in the following list of options.

  [[BR]]''auto_sound'':[[BR]]

  A boolean indicating if PJSIP should automatically select and enable a soundcard to use for for recording and playing back sound.

  If this is set to {{{False}}} the Dummy sound device is selected.

  To be able to hear and contribute audio, the application will have to select a sound device manually through the {{{set_sound_devices}}} method.

  This option is not accessible as an attribute on the object, as it is transitory.

  [[BR]]''local_ip'': (Default: {{{None}}})[[BR]]

  IP address of a local interface to bind to.

  If this is {{{None}}} on start, the {{{Engine}}} will try to determine the default outgoing interface and bind to it.

  Setting this to {{{0.0.0.0}}} will cause PJSIP to listen for traffic on any interface, but this is not recommended.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only.

  [[BR]]''local_udp_port'': (Default: {{{0}}})[[BR]]

  The local UDP port to listen on for UDP datagrams.

  If this is 0, a random port will be chosen.

  If it is {{{None}}}, the UDP transport is disabled, both for incoming and outgoing traffic.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_local_udp_port()}}} method.

  [[BR]]''local_tcp_port'': (Default: {{{0}}})[[BR]]

  The local TCP port to listen on for new TCP connections.

  If this is 0, a random port will be chosen.

  If it is {{{None}}}, the TCP transport is disabled, both for incoming and outgoing traffic.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_local_tcp_port()}}} method.

  [[BR]]''local_tls_port'': (Default: {{{0}}})[[BR]]

  The local TCP port to listen on for new TLS over TCP connections.

  If this is 0, a random port will be chosen.

  If it is {{{None}}}, the TLS transport is disabled, both for incoming and outgoing traffic.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation. 

  [[BR]]''tls_protocol'': (Default: "TLSv1")[[BR]] 

  This string describes the (minimum) TLS protocol that should be used. 

  Its values should be either {{{None}}}, "SSLv2", "SSLv23", "SSLv3" or "TLSv1". 

  If {{{None}}} is specified, the PJSIP default will be used, which is currently "TLSv1". 

  [[BR]]''tls_verify_server'': (Default: {{{False}}})[[BR]]

  This boolean indicates whether PJSIP should verify the certificate of the server against the local CA list when making an outgoing TLS connection.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation.

  [[BR]]''tls_ca_file'': (Default: {{{None}}})[[BR]]

  This string indicates the location of the file containing the local list of CA certificates, to be used for TLS connections.

  If this is set to {{{None}}}, no CA certificates will be read. 

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation. 

  [[BR]]''tls_cert_file'': (Default: {{{None}}})[[BR]] 

  This string indicates the location of a file containing the TLS certificate to be used for TLS connections. 

  If this is set to {{{None}}}, no certificate file will be read. 

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation. 

  [[BR]]''tls_privkey_file'': (Default: {{{None}}})[[BR]] 

  This string indicates the location of a file containing the TLS private key associated with the above mentioned certificated to be used for TLS connections. 

  If this is set to {{{None}}}, no private key file will be read. 

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation. 

  [[BR]]''tls_timeout'': (Default: 1000)[[BR]] 

  The timeout value for a TLS negotiation in milliseconds. 

  Note that this value should be reasonably small, as a TLS negotiation blocks the whole PJSIP polling thread. 

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_tls_options()}}} method, as internally the TLS transport needs to be restarted for this operation.

  [[BR]]''ec_tail_length'': (Default: {{{50}}})[[BR]]

  Echo cancellation tail length in milliseconds.

  A longer value should provide better echo cancellation but incurs more processing cost.

  Setting this to 0 will disable echo cancellation.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be set as an argument to the {{{set_sound_devices}}} method.

  [[BR]]''user_agent'': (Default: {{{"ag-projects/sipclient-%version-pjsip-%pjsip-version"}}})[[BR]]

  This value indicates what should be set in the {{{User-Agent}}} header, which is included in each request or response sent.

  It can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime.

  [[BR]]''log_level'': (Default: 5)[[BR]]

  This integer dictates the maximum log level that may be reported to the application by PJSIP through the {{{SIPEngineLog}}} notification.

  By default the maximum amount of logging information is reported.

  This value can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime.

  [[BR]]''trace_sip'': (Default: {{{False}}})[[BR]]

  This boolean indicates if the SIP core should send the application SIP messages as seen on the wire through the {{{SIPEngineSIPTrace}}} notification.

  It can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime.

  [[BR]]''sample_rate'': (Default: {{{32}}})[[BR]]

  The sample rate in kHz at which the sound card should operate.

  Higher values allow some codecs (such as speex) to achieve better quality but will incur higher processing cost, particularly in combination with echo cancellation.

  This parameter should be either 8, 16 or 32.

  The corresponding attribute of this value is read-only.

  [[BR]]''playback_dtmf'': (Default: {{{True}}})[[BR]]

  If this boolean is set to {{{True}}}, both incoming and outgoing DTMF signals have their corresponding audio tones played back on the sound card.

  This value can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime.

  [[BR]]''rtp_port_range'': (Default: (40000, 40100))[[BR]]

  This tuple of two ints indicates the range to select UDP ports from when creating a new {{{RTPTransport}}} object, which is used to transport media.

  It can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime, but the ports of previously created {{{RTPTransport}}} objects remain unaffected.

  [[BR]]''codecs'': (Default: {{{["speex", "G722", "PCMU", "PCMA", "iLBC", "GSM"]}}})[[BR]]

  This list specifies the codecs to use for audio sessions and their preferred order.

  It can be read and set directly as an attribute at runtime.

  Note that this global option can be overridden by an argument passed to {{{AudioTransport.__init__()}}}.

  The strings in this list is case insensitive.

  [[BR]]''events'': (Default: <some sensible events>)[[BR]]

  PJSIP needs a mapping between SIP SIMPLE event packages and content types.

  This dictionary provides some default packages and their event types.

  As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{set_local_tls_port()}}} method.

 '''start_cfg'''(''self'', '''enable_sound'''={{{True}}}, '''**kwargs''')::

  This provides a [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI Configuration API] aware start method.

  It will retrieve all the arguments that can be passed to {{{start()}}} from the configuration framework, unless they are overridden by the keyword arguments to this method.

  Any argument that can be passed to {{{start()}}} may be specified, except for {{{auto_sound}}}.

  [[BR]]''enable_sound'':[[BR]]

  If this is set to {{{True}}}, the sound devices set up in the configuration framework will be started.

  If it is {{{False}}}, the Dummy sound device will be used.

 '''stop'''(''self'')::

  Stop the PJSIP worker thread and unload all PJSIP libraries.

  Note that after this all references to SIP core objects can no longer be used, these should be properly removed by the application itself before stopping the {{{Engine}}}.

  Also note that, once stopped the {{{Engine}}} cannot be started again.

  This method is automatically called when the Python interpreter exits.

==== proxied attributes ====

Besides all the proxied attributes described for the {{{__init__}}} method above, two other attributes are provided once the {{{Engine}}} has been started.

 '''playback_devices'''::

  This read-only attribute is a list of string, representing all audio playback devices on the system that can be used.

  These device names can be passed as the {{{playback_device}}} argument of the {{{set_sound_devices()}}} method.

 '''recording_devices'''::

  This read-only attribute is a list of string, representing all audio recording devices on the system that can be used.

  These device names can be passed as the {{{recording_device}}} argument of the {{{set_sound_devices()}}} method.

 '''available_codecs'''::

  A read-only list of codecs available in the core, regardless of the codecs configured through the {{{codecs}}} attribute.

==== proxied methods ====

 '''add_event'''(''self'', '''event''', '''accept_types''')::

  Couple a certain event package to a list of content types.

  Once added it cannot be removed or modified.

 '''set_sound_devices'''(''self'', '''playback_device'''={{{None}}}, '''recording_device'''={{{None}}}, '''tail_length'''={{{None}}})::

  Set and open the playback and recording device, using the specified echo cancellation tail length in milliseconds.

  If no echo cancellation value is specified, either the value set while calling the {{{start()}}} method will be used or the default value will be used (see the documentation of this method).

  A {{{tail_length}}} of 0 disables echo cancellation.

  The device attributes need to be strings and should be obtained from the {{{playback_devices}}} and {{{recording_devices}}} attributes respectively.

  Passing either of these as {{{None}}} means that PJSIP should select a sound device automatically.

  If sound devices were already opened these will be closed first.

 '''connect_audio_transport'''(''self'', '''transport''')::

  Connect a started audio transport, in the form of a {{{AudioTransport}}} object, to the recording and playback audio devices and other connected audio transports.

  This means that when more than one audio stream is connected they will form a conference.

 '''disconnect_audio_transport'''(''self'', '''transport''')::

  Disconnect a previously connected audio transport, in the form of a {{{AudioTransport}}} object.

  Stopped audio streams are disconnected automatically.

 '''detect_nat_type'''(''self'', '''stun_server_address''', '''stun_server_port'''=3478, '''user_data'''=None)::

  Will start a series of STUN requests which detect the type of NAT this host is behind.

  The {{{stun_server_address}}} parameter indicates the IP address or hostname of the STUN server to be used and {{{stun_server_port}}} specifies the remote UDP port to use.

  When the type of NAT is detected, this will be reported back to the application by means of a {{{SIPEngineDetectedNATType}}} notification, including the user_data object passed with this method.

 '''set_local_udp_port'''(''self'', '''value''')::

  Update the {{{local_udp_port}}} attribute to the newly specified value.

 '''set_local_tcp_port'''(''self'', '''value''')::

  Update the {{{local_tcp_port}}} attribute to the newly specified value.

 '''set_tls_options'''(''self'', '''local_port'''={{{None}}}, '''protocol'''="TLSv1", '''verify_server'''={{{False}}}, '''ca_file'''={{{None}}}, '''cert_file'''={{{None}}}, '''privkey_file'''={{{None}}}, '''timeout'''=1000):: 

  Calling this method will (re)start the TLS transport with the specified arguments, or stop it in the case that the '''local_port''' argument is set to {{{None}}}. 

  The semantics of the arguments are the same as on the {{{start()}}} method. 

 '''parse_sip_uri(''self'', '''uri_string''')::

  Will parse the provided SIP URI string using the PJSIP parsing capabilities and return a {{{SIPURI}}} object, or raise an exception if there was an error parsing the URI.

==== notifications ====

Notifications sent by the {{{Engine}}} are notifications that are related to the {{{Engine}}} itself or unrelated to any SIP primitive object.

They are described here including the data attributes that is included with them.

 '''SIPEngineWillStart'''::

  This notification is sent when the {{{Engine}}} is about to start.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  It is not recommended to call any methods on the {{{Engine}}} at this point.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

 '''SIPEngineWillEnd'''::

  This notification is sent when the {{{Engine}}} is about to stop because the application called the {{{stop()}}} method.

  This notification is a wrapper for PJSIP logging messages.

  It can be used by the application to output PJSIP logging to somewhere meaningful, possibly doing filtering based on log level.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object representing the time when the log message was output by PJSIP.

  [[BR]]''sender'':[[BR]]

  The PJSIP module that originated this log message.

  The source port of the message as an integer.

  [[BR]]''destination_ip'':[[BR]]

  The destination IP address as a string.

  [[BR]]''source_port'':[[BR]]

  The source port of the message as an integer.

  [[BR]]''data'':[[BR]]

  The contents of the message as a string.

> For received message the destination_ip and for sent messages the source_ip may not be reliable.

  Since this is a one-shot occurrence, it is not modeled as an object.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''to_uri'':[[BR]]

  The contents of the {{{To:}}} header of the received {{{MESSAGE}}} request represented as a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

  The second part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header of the received {{{MESSAGE}}} request (after the {{{/}}}).

  [[BR]]''body'':[[BR]]

  The body of the {{{MESSAGE}}} request.

> content_type and content_subtype should be combined in a single argument, also in other places where this occurs.

 '''SIPEngineGotMessageResponse'''::

  When sending a {{{MESSAGE}}} through the {{{send_message}}} function, this notification will be sent whenever there is a final response to the sent {{{MESSAGE}}} request (which may be an internally generated timeout).

 '''SIPEngineDetectedNATType'''::

  This notification is sent some time after the application request the NAT type this host behind to be detected using a STUN server.

  Note that there is no way to associate a request to do this with a notification, although every call to the {{{detect_nat_type()}}} method will generate exactly one notification.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''succeeded'':[[BR]]

  A boolean indicating if the NAT detection succeeded.

  [[BR]]''user_data'':[[BR]]

  A string describing the type of NAT found.

  This value is only present if NAT detection succeeded.

  [[BR]]''error'':[[BR]]

  A string indicating the error that occurred while attempting to detect the type of NAT.

  This value only present if NAT detection did not succeed.

 '''SIPEngineGotException'''::

  This notification is sent whenever there is an unexpected exception within the PJSIP working thread.

  The application should show the traceback to the user somehow.

  An exception need not be fatal, but if it is it will be followed by a '''SIPEngineDidFail''' notification.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''traceback'':[[BR]]

  A string containing the traceback of the exception.

  In general this should be printed on the console.

=== send_message ===

> In the future, this function will probably be implemented as a class or as a method of PJSIPUA.

The only function of the API is {{{send_message}}}, which sends a {{{MESSAGE}}} request containing a body to the specified SIP URI.

As described above, a {{{message_response}}} is generated when the final response is received.

Until the final response is received it is not allowed to send a new {{{MESSAGE}}} request to the {{{to_uri}}} used, a {{{SIPCoreError}}} exception will be thrown if the application tries this.

It has the following format and arguments:

{{{

send_message(credentials, to_uri, content_type, content_subtype, body, route)

}}}

 '''credentials'''::

  Credentials to be used if authentication is needed at the proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object.

  This object also contains the From URI.

 '''to_uri'''::

  The SIP URI to send the {{{MESSAGE}}} request to in the form of a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

 '''content_type'''::

  The first part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header (before the {{{/}}}).

 '''content_subtype'''::

  The first part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header (before the {{{/}}}).

 '''body'''::

  The body of the {{{MESSAGE}}} request that is to be sent.

 '''route'''::

  This represents the first host to send the request to in the form of a {{{Route}}} object.

> The exception thrown when the application tries to send a MESSAGE too fast should be customized.

> In this way the application may keep a queue of MESSAGE requests and send the next one when the last one was answered.

=== SIPURI ===

This is a helper object for representing a SIP URI.

This object needs to be used whenever a SIP URI should be specified to the SIP core.

It supports comparison to other {{{SIPURI}}} objects using the == and != expressions.

As all of its attributes are set by the {{{__init__}}} method, the individual attributes will not be documented here.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''host''', '''user'''={{{None}}}, '''port'''={{{None}}}, '''display'''={{{None}}}, '''secure'''={{{False}}}, '''parameters'''={{{None}}}, '''headers'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates the SIPURI object with the specified parameters as attributes.

  Each of these attributes can be accessed and changed on the object once instanced.

  {{{host}}} is the only mandatory attribute.

  [[BR]]''host'':[[BR]]

  The host part of the SIP URI as a string.

  [[BR]]''user'':[[BR]]

  The username part of the SIP URI as a string, or None if not set.

  [[BR]]''port'':[[BR]]

  The port part of the SIP URI as an int, or None or 0 if not set.

  [[BR]]''display'':[[BR]]

  The optional display name of the SIP URI as a string, or None if not set.

  [[BR]]''secure'':[[BR]]

  A boolean indicating whether this is a SIP or SIPS URI, the latter being indicated by a value of {{{True}}}.

  [[BR]]''parameters'':[[BR]]

  The URI parameters. represented by a dictionary.

  [[BR]]''headers'':[[BR]]

  The URI headers, represented by a dictionary.

 '''!__str!__'''(''self'')::

  The special Python method to represent this object as a string, the output is the properly formatted SIP URI.

 '''copy'''(''self'')::

  Returns a copy of the {{{SIPURI}}} object.

=== Credentials ===

This object represents authentication credentials for a particular SIP account.

These should be included whenever creating a SIP primitive object that originates SIP requests.

As with the {{{SIPURI}}} object, the attributes of this object are the same as the arguments to the {{{__init__}}} method.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''uri''', '''password'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates the Credentials object with the specified parameters as attributes.

  Each of these attributes can be accessed and changed on the object once instanced.

  [[BR]]''uri'':[[BR]]

  A {{{SIPURI}}} object representing the account for which these are the credentials.

  [[BR]]''password'':[[BR]]

  The password for this SIP account as a string.

  If a password is not needed, for example when sending SIP messages without a proxy, this can be {{{None}}}.

 '''copy'''(''self'')::

  Returns a copy of the {{{Credentials}}} object.

=== Route ===

This class provides a means for the application using the SIP core to set the destination address, port and transport for a particular request, i.e. the outbound proxy.

As it is the application's responsibility to look this up and pass it as an argument for every SIP primitive class it creates.

The contents of the {{{Route}}} object will be placed in the {{{Route}}} header of the request.

As with the {{{SIPURI}}} object, the attributes of this object are the same as the arguments to the {{{__init__}}} method.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''address''', '''port'''=5060, '''transport'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates the Route object with the specified parameters as attributes.

  Each of these attributes can be accessed on the object once instanced.

  [[BR]]''address'':[[BR]]

  The IPv4 or IPv6 address that the request in question should be sent to as a string.

  [[BR]]''port'':[[BR]]

  The port to send the requests to, represented as an int.

  [[BR]]''transport'':[[BR]]

  The transport to use, this can be a string of either "udp", "tcp" or "tls" (case insensitive), depending on what transports are enabled on the {{{PJSIPUA}}} object.

 '''copy'''(''self'')::

  Returns a copy of the {{{Route}}} object.

> IPv6 transports are not supported yet.

=== Registration ===

A {{{Registration}}} object represents a SIP endpoint's registration for a particular SIP account using the {{{REGISTER}}} method at its SIP registrar.

In effect, the SIP endpoint can send a {{{REGISTER}}} to the registrar to indicate that it is a valid endpoint for the specified SIP account.

After the {{{REGISTER}}} request is successfully received, the SIP proxy will be able to contact the SIP endpoint whenever there is an {{{INVITE}}} or other relevant request sent to the SIP account.

In short, unless a SIP endpoint is registered, it cannot be contacted.

Internally it uses a state machine to represent the registration process.

The states of this state machine can be seen in the following diagram:

[[Image(sipsimple-registration-state-machine.png, nolink)]]

State changes are triggered by the following events:

 1. The initial state.

 2. User requests in the form of the {{{register()}}} and {{{unregister()}}} methods.

 3. A final response for a {{{REGISTER}}} is received from the network.

 4. The refresh timer expires.

The state machine of a {{{Registration}}} object has a queue, which means that for example when the object is in the {{{registering}}} state and the application calls the {{{unregister()}}} method, the object will unregister itself once a final response has been received for the registering {{{REGISTER}}}.

> The implementation of this object needs to be revised.

==== attributes ====

 '''state'''::

  Indicates which state the internal state machine is in.

  This is one of {{{unregistered}}}, {{{registering}}}, {{{registered}}}, {{{unregistering}}}.

 '''credentials'''::

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object, including the SIP account for which we want to register.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''extra_headers'''::

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing {{{REGISTER}}} request.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''expires'''::

  The amount of seconds to request the registration for, i.e. the value that should be put in the {{{Expires}}} header.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and can be modified at runtime.

  A new value will be used during the next refreshing {{{REGISTER}}}.

 '''expires_received'''::

  The amount of seconds the last successful {{{REGISTER}}} is valid for.

  This value is read-only.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''credentials''', '''route''', '''expires'''=300, '''contact_uri'''={{{None}}}, '''extra_headers'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates a new {{{Registration}}} object.

  [[BR]]''credentials'':[[BR]]

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object, including the SIP account for which we want to register.

  [[BR]]''route'':[[BR]]

  The outbound proxy to use in the form of a {{{Route}}} object

  [[BR]]''expires'':[[BR]]

  The amount of seconds to request the registration for, i.e. the value that should be put in the {{{Expires}}} header.

  [[BR]]''contact_uri'':[[BR]]

  The Contact URI that should be used to register as a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

  If this is {{{None}}}, a Contact URI will be generated.

  [[BR]]''extra_headers'':[[BR]]

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing request.

 '''register'''(''self'')::

  Whenever the object is ready to send a {{{REGISTER}}} for the specified SIP account it will do so, moving the state machine into the {{{registering}}} state.

  If the {{{REGISTER}}} succeeds the state machines moves into the {{{registered}}} state and the object will automatically refresh the registration before it expires (again moving into the {{{registering}}} state).

  If it is unsuccessful the state machine reverts to the {{{unregistered}}} state.

 '''unregister'''(''self'')::

  If the object is registered it will send a {{{REGISTER}}} with an {{{Expires}}} header of 0, effectively unregistering the contact from the SIP account.

==== notifications ====

 '''SIPRegistrationChangedState'''::

  This notification will be sent every time the internal state machine of a {{{Registeration}}} object changes state.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''state'':[[BR]]

  The new state the state machine moved into.

  [[BR]]''code'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status code of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

  [[BR]]''reason'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status text of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

  [[BR]]''contact_uri'': (only on successful registration)[[BR]]

  The {{{Contact}}} URI used to register as a string.

  [[BR]]''expires'': (only on successful registration)[[BR]]

  How many seconds until this registration expires.

  [[BR]]''contact_uri_list'': (only on successful registration)[[BR]]

==== example code ====

This code shows how to make a {{{Registration}}} object for a particular SIP account and have it register.

{{{

accnt = SIPURI(user="username", host="domain.com")

creds = Credentials(accnt, "password")

reg = Registration(creds, Route("1.2.3.4"))

reg.register()

}}}

After executing this code, the application will have to wait until the {{{Registration}}} object sends the {{{SIPRegistrationChangedState}}} notification, which includes the result of the requested operation.

=== Publication ===

Publication of SIP events is an Internet standard published at [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3903 RFC 3903]. 

PUBLISH is similar to REGISTER in that it allows a user to create, modify, and remove state in another entity which manages this state on behalf of the user.

A {{{Publication}}} object represents publishing some content for a particular SIP account and a particular event type at the SIP presence agent through a {{{PUBLISH}}} request.

The state machine of this object is very similar to that of the {{{Registration}}} object, as can be seen in the following diagram:

[[Image(sipsimple-publication-state-machine.png, nolink)]]

State changes are triggered by the following events:

 1. The initial state.

 2. User requests in the form of the {{{publish()}}} and {{{unpublish()}}} methods.

 3. A final response for a {{{PUBLISH}}} is received from the network.

 4. The refresh timer expires.

Like the {{{Registration}}} state machine, the {{{Publication}}} state machine is queued.

This means that the application may call either the {{{publish()}}} or {{{unpublish()}}} method at any point in the state machine.

The object will perform the requested action when ready.

When some content is published and the application wants to update the contents, it can directly call the {{{publish()}}} method with the new content.

> The implementation of this object needs to be revised.

> If this object is re-used after unpublication, the etag value is not reset by PJSIP.

> This needs to be fixed.

==== attributes ====

 '''state'''::

  Indicates which state the internal state machine is in.

  This is one of {{{unpublished}}}, {{{publishing}}}, {{{published}}}, {{{unpublishing}}}.

 '''credentials'''::

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''route'''::

  The outbound proxy to use in the form of a {{{Route}}} object.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''extra_headers'''::

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing {{{PUBLISH}}} request.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''expires'''::

  The amount of seconds the contents of the {{{PUBLISH}}} are valid, i.e. the value that should be put in the {{{Expires}}} header.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and can be modified at runtime.

  A new value will be used during the next refreshing {{{PUBLISH}}}.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''credentials''', '''event''', '''route''', '''expires'''=300, '''extra_headers'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates a new {{{Publication}}} object.

  [[BR]]''credentials'':[[BR]]

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object, including the SIP account that we want to publish the content for.

  [[BR]]''event'':[[BR]]

  The event package for which we want to publish content.

  [[BR]]''route'':[[BR]]

  The outbound proxy to use in the form of a {{{Route}}} object

  [[BR]]''expires'':[[BR]]

  The amount of seconds the contents of the {{{PUBLISH}}} are valid, i.e. the value that should be put in the {{{Expires}}} header.

  [[BR]]''extra_headers'':[[BR]]

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing {{{PUBLISH}}} request.

 '''publish'''(''self'', '''content_type''', '''content_subtype''', '''body''')::

  Whenever the object is ready to send a {{{PUBLISH}}} for the specified SIP account it will do so, moving the state machine into the {{{publishing}}} state.

  If the {{{PUBLISH}}} succeeds the state machines moves into the {{{published}}} state and the object will automatically refresh the publication before it expires (again moving into the {{{publishing}}} state).

  If it is unsuccessful the state machine reverts to the {{{unregistered}}} state.

  [[BR]]''content_type'':[[BR]]

  The first part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header of the {{{PUBLISH}}} request that is to be sent (before the {{{/}}}), indicating the type of content of the body.

  [[BR]]''content_subtype'':[[BR]]

  The second part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header of the {{{PUBLISH}}} request that is to be sent (after the {{{/}}}), indicating the type of content of the body.

 '''unpublish'''(''self'')::

  If the object has some content published, it will send a {{{PUBLISH}}} with an {{{Expires}}} header of 0, effectively unpublishing the content for the specified SIP account.

==== notifications ====

 '''SIPPublicationChangedState'''::

  This notification will be sent every time the internal state machine of a {{{Publication}}} object changes state.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''state'':[[BR]]

  The new state the state machine moved into.

  [[BR]]''code'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status code of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

  [[BR]]''reason'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status text of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

> On init the event package is not checked with known event packages, this is only used for {{{Subscription}}} objects.

> This could be done for the sake of consistency.

==== example code ====

This code shows how to make a {{{Publication}}} object for a particular SIP account and have it attempt to publish its presence.

{{{

accnt = SIPURI(user="username", host="domain.com")

creds = Credentials(accnt, "password")

pub = Publication(creds, "presence", Route("1.2.3.4"))

pub.publish("text", "plain", "hi!")

}}}

After executing this code, the application will have to wait until the {{{Publication}}} object sends the {{{SIPPublicationChangedState}}} notification, which includes the result of the requested operation.

In this case the presence agent will most likely reply with "Unsupported media type", as the code tries to submit Content-Type which is not valid for the presence event package.

=== Subscription ===

Subscription and notifications for SIP events is an Internet standard published at [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3856 RFC 3856].

This SIP primitive class represents a subscription to a specific event type of a particular SIP URI.

This means that the application should instance this class for each combination of event and SIP URI that it wishes to subscribe to.

The event type and the content types that are acceptable for it need to be registered first, either through the {{{init_options}}} attribute of {{{Engine}}} (before starting it), or by calling the {{{add_event()}}} method of the {{{Engine}}} instance.

Whenever a {{{NOTIFY}}} is received, the application will receive the {{{Subcription_notify}}} event.

Internally a {{{Subscription}}} object has a state machine, which reflects the state of the subscription.

It is a direct mirror of the state machine of the underlying {{{pjsip_evsub}}} object, whose possible states are at least {{{NULL}}}, {{{SENT}}}, {{{ACCEPTED}}}, {{{PENDING}}}, {{{ACTIVE}}} or {{{TERMINATED}}}.

The last three states are directly copied from the contents of the {{{Subscription-State}}} header of the received {{{NOTIFY}}} request.

Also, the state can be an arbitrary string if the contents of the {{{Subscription-State}}} header are not one of the three above.

The state machine of the {{{Subscription}}} object is not queued, meaning that if an action is performed that is not allowed in the state the state machine is currently in, an exception will be raised.

> The implementation of this object needs to be revised.

==== attributes ====

 '''state'''::

  Indicates which state the internal state machine is in.

  See the previous section for a list of states the state machine can be in.

 '''credentials'''::

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object.

  The {{{SIPURI}}} object included in the {{{Credentials}}} object is used for the {{{From}}} header of the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request.

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''credentials''', '''to_uri''', '''event''', '''route''', '''expires'''=300, '''contact_uri'''={{{None}}}, '''extra_headers'''={{{None}}})::

  Creates a new {{{Subscription}}} object.

  [[BR]]''credentials'':[[BR]]

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object.

  The {{{SIPURI}}} object included in the {{{Credentials}}} object is used for the {{{From}}} header of the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request.

  [[BR]]''to_uri'':[[BR]]

  The SIP URI we want to subscribe to a particular event of represented as a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

  [[BR]]''event'':[[BR]]

  The event package to which we want to subscribe at the given SIP URI.

  [[BR]]''route'':[[BR]]

  The outbound proxy to use in the form of a {{{Route}}} object

  [[BR]]''expires'':[[BR]]

  The amount of seconds  the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} is valid, i.e. the value that should be put in the {{{Expires}}} header.

  [[BR]]''contact_uri'':[[BR]]

  The Contact URI that should be used in the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} requests.

  If this is {{{None}}}, a Contact URI will be generated internally.

  [[BR]]''extra_headers'':[[BR]]

  A dictionary of extra headers that should be added to any outgoing {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request.

 '''subscribe'''(''self'')::

  This method activates the subscription and causes the object to send a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request to the relevant presence agent.

  It can only be used when the object is in the {{{TERMINATED}}} state.

 '''unsubscribe'''(''self'')::

  This method causes the object to send a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request with an {{{Expires}}} value of 0, effectively canceling the active subscription.

  It can be used when the object is not in the {{{TERMINATED}}} state.

==== notifications ====

 '''SIPSubscriptionChangedState'''::

  This notification will be sent every time the internal state machine of a {{{Subscription}}} object changes state.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''state'':[[BR]]

  The new state the state machine moved into.

  [[BR]]''code'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status code of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

  [[BR]]''reason'': (only on SIP response triggered state change)[[BR]]

  The status text of the response that caused the state change.

  This may be internally generated by PJSIP, e.g. on timeout.

 '''SIPSubscriptionGotNotify'''::

  This notification will be sent when a {{{NOTIFY}}} is received that corresponds to a particular {{{Subscription}}} object.

  Note that this notification will not be sent when a {{{NOTIFY}}} with an empty body is received.

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''content_type'':[[BR]]

  [[BR]]''content_subtype'':[[BR]]

  The second part of the {{{Content-Type:}}} header of the received {{{NOTIFY}}} request (after the {{{/}}}), indicating the type of the body.

  [[BR]]''body'':[[BR]]

  The body of the {{{NOTIFY}}} request.

==== example code ====

This code shows how to make a {{{Subscription}}} object that subscribes to the presence of another SIP account.

{{{

accnt = SIPURI(user="watcher", host="domain.com")

creds = Credentials(accnt, "password")

to_uri = SIPURI(user="watched", host="domain.com")

sub = Subscription(creds, to_uri, "presence", Route("1.2.3.4"))

sub.subscribe()

}}}

After executing this code, the application will have to wait until the {{{Subscription}}} object sends the {{{SIPSubscriptionChangedState}}} notification, which includes the result of the requested operation.

Independently of this, the object sends a {{{SIPSubscriptionGotNotify}}} notification anytime it receives a {{{NOTIFY}}} request for this subscription, as long as the subscription is active.

=== Invitation ===

The {{{Invitation}}} class represents an {{{INVITE}}} session, which governs a complete session of media exchange between two SIP endpoints from start to finish.

It is implemented to be agnostic to the media stream or streams negotiated, which is achieved by using the {{{SDPSession}}} class and its companion classes, which directly represents the parsed SDP.

The {{{Invitation}}} class represents both incoming and outgoing sessions.

The state machine contained in each {{{Invitation}}} object is based on the one used by the underlying PJSIP [http://www.pjsip.org/pjsip/docs/html/group__PJSIP__INV.htm pjsip_inv_session] object.

In order to represent re-{{{INVITE}}}s and user-requested disconnections, three more states have been added to this state machine.

The progression through this state machine is fairly linear and is dependent on whether this is an incoming or an outgoing session.

State changes are triggered either by incoming or by outgoing SIP requests and responses.

The states and the transitions between them are shown in the following diagram:

[[Image(sipsimple-core-invite-state-machine.png, nolink)]]

The state changes of this machine are triggered by the following:

 1. An {{{Invitation}}} object is newly created, either by the application for an outgoing session, or by the core for an incoming session.

 2. The application requested an outgoing session by calling the {{{send_invite()}}} method and and initial {{{INVITE}}} request is sent.

 3. A new incoming session is received by the core.

    The application should look out for state change to this state in order to be notified of new incoming sessions.

 4. A provisional response (1xx) is received from the remove party.

 5. A provisional response (1xx) is sent to the remote party, after the application called the {{{respond_to_invite_provisionally()}}} method.

 6. A positive final response (2xx) is received from the remote party.

 7. A positive final response (2xx) is sent to the remote party, after the application called the {{{accept_invite()}}} method.

 8. A positive final response (2xx) is sent or received, depending on the orientation of the session.

 9. An {{{ACK}}} is sent or received, depending on the orientation of the session.

    If the {{{ACK}}} is sent from the local to the remote party, it is initiated by PJSIP, not by a call from the application.

 10. The local party sent a re-{{{INVITE}}} to the remote party by calling the {{{send_reinvite()}}} method.

 11. The remote party has sent a final response to the re-{{{INVITE}}}.

 12. The remote party has sent a re-{{{INVITE}}}.

 13. The local party has responded to the re-{{{INVITE}}} by calling the {{{respond_to_reinvite()}}} method.

 14. The application requests that the session ends by calling the {{{disconnect()}}} method.

 15. A response is received from the remote party to whichever message was sent by the local party to end the session.

 16. A message is received from the remote party which ends the session.

The application is notified of a state change in either state machine through the {{{SIPInvitationChangedState}}} notification, which has as data the current and previous states.

If the event is triggered by and incoming message, extensive data about that message, such as method/code, headers and body, is also included with the notification.

The application should compare the previous and current states and perform the appropriate action.

An {{{Invitiation}}} object also emits the {{{SIPInvitationGotSDPUpdate}}} notification, which indicates that SDP negotiation between the two parties has been completed.

This will occur (at least) once during the initial session negotiation steps, during re-{{{INVITE}}}s in both directions and whenever an {{{UPDATE}}} request is received.

In the last case, the {{{Invitation}}} object will automatically include the current local SDP in the response.

==== attributes ====

 '''state'''::

  The state the {{{Invitation}}} state machine is currently in.

  See the diagram above for possible states.

  This attribute is read-only.

 '''is_outgoing'''::

  Boolean indicating if the original {{{INVITE}}} was outgoing, or incoming if set to {{{False}}}.

 '''credentials'''::

  The SIP credentials needed to authenticate at the SIP proxy in the form of a {{{Credentials}}} object.

  If this {{{Invitation}}} object represents an incoming {{{INVITE}}} session this attribute will be {{{None}}}.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''caller_uri'''::

  The SIP URI of the caller represented by a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

  If this is in an outgoing {{{INVITE}}} session, the caller_uri is taken from the supplied {{{Credentials}}} object.

  Otherwise the URI is taken from the {{{From:}}} header of the initial {{{INVITE}}}.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''callee_uri'''::

  The SIP URI of the callee represented by a {{{SIPURI}}} object.

  If this is an outgoing {{{INVITE}}} session, this is the callee_uri from the !__init!__ method.

  Otherwise the URI is taken from the {{{To:}}} header of the initial {{{INVITE}}}.

  This attribute is set on object instantiation and is read-only.

 '''local_uri'''::

  The local SIP URI used in this session.

  If the original {{{INVITE}}} was incoming, this is the same as {{{callee_uri}}}, otherwise it will be the same as {{{caller_uri}}}.

=== SDPSession ===

SDP stands for Session Description Protocol. Session Description Protocol (SDP) is a format for describing streaming media initialization parameters in an ASCII string. SDP is intended for describing multimedia communication sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation. It is an IETF standard described by [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4566 RFC 4566]. [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3264 RFC 3264] defines an Offer/Answer Model with the Session Description Protocol (SDP), a mechanism by which two entities can make use of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to arrive at a common view of a multimedia session between them. 

SDPSession object directly represents the contents of a SDP body, as carried e.g. in a INVITE request, and is a simple wrapper for the PJSIP [http://www.pjsip.org/pjmedia/docs/html/structpjmedia__sdp__session.htm pjmedia_sdp_session] structure.

It can be passed to those methods of an {{{Invitation}}} object that result in transmission of a message that includes SDP, or is passed to the application through a notification that is triggered by reception of a message that includes SDP.

A {{{SDPSession}}} object may contain {{{SDPMedia}}}, {{{SDPConnection}}} and {{{SDPAttribute}}} objects.

It supports comparison to other {{{SDPSession}}} objects using the == and != expressions.

As all the attributes of the {{{SDPSession}}} class are set by attributes of the {{{__init__}}} method, they will be documented along with that method.

=== RTPTransport ===

This object represents a transport for RTP media, the basis of which is a pair of UDP sockets, one for RTP and one for RTCP.

Internally it wraps a [http://www.pjsip.org/pjmedia/docs/html/group__PJMEDIA__TRANSPORT.htm pjmedia_transport] object.

Initially this object will only be used by the {{{AudioTransport}}} object, but in the future it can also be used for video and [wiki:RTTProposal Real-Time Text].

For this reason the {{{AudioTransport}}} and {{{RTPTransport}}} are two distinct objects.

The {{{RTPTransport}}} object also allows support for ICE and SRTP functionality from PJSIP.

Because these features are related to both the UDP transport and the SDP formatting, the SDP carried in SIP signaling message will need to "pass through" this object during the SDP negotiation.

The code using this object, which in most cases will be the {{{AudioTransport}}} object, will need to call certain methods on the object at appropriate times.

This process of SDP negotiation is represented by the internal state machine of the object, as shown in the following diagram:

> The Real-time Transport Protocol (or RTP) defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet.

> It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the IETF and published in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3550 RFC 3550].

> RTP is used in streaming media systems (together with the RTSP) as well as in videoconferencing and push to talk systems.

> For these it carries media streams controlled by Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling protocols, making it the technical foundation of the Voice over IP industry.

[[Image(sipsimple-rtp-transport-state-machine.png, nolink)]]

State changes are triggered by the following events:

 1. The application calls the {{{set_INIT()}}} method after object creation and ICE+STUN is not used.

 2. The application calls the {{{set_INIT()}}} method after object creation and ICE+STUN is used.

 3. A successful STUN response is received from the STUN server.

 4. The {{{set_LOCAL()}}} method is called.

 5. The {{{set_ESTABLISHED()}}} method is called.

 6. The {{{set_INIT()}}} method is called while the object is in the {{{LOCAL}}} or {{{ESTABLISHED}}} state.

 7. A method is called on the application, but in the meantime the {{{Engine}}} has stopped.

    The object can no longer be used.

 8. There was an error in getting the STUN candidates from the STUN server.

> It would make sense to be able to use the object even if the STUN request fails (and have ICE not include a STUN candidate), but for some reason the pjmedia_transport is unusable once STUN negotation has failed.

> This means that the RTPTransport object is also unusable once it has reached the STUN_FAILED state.

> A workaround would be destroy the RTPTransport object and create a new one that uses ICE without STUN.

These states allow for two SDP negotiation scenarios to occur, represented by two paths that can be followed through the state machine.

In this example we will assume that ICE with STUN is not used, as it is independent of the SDP negotiation procedure.

 * The first scenario is where the local party generates the SDP offer.

   For a stream that it wishes to include in this SDP offer, it instantiates a {{{RTPTransport}}} object.

   After instantiation the object is initialized by calling the {{{set_INIT()}}} method and the local RTP address and port can be fetched from it using the {{{local_rtp_address}}} and {{{local_rtp_port}}} respectively, which can be used to generate the local SDP in the form of a {{{SDPSession}}} object (note that it needs the full object, not just the relevant {{{SDPMedia}}} object).

   This local SDP then needs to be passed to the {{{set_LOCAL()}}} method, which moves the state machine into the {{{LOCAL}}} state.

   Depending on the options used for the {{{RTPTransport}}} instantiation (such as ICE and SRTP), this may change the {{{SDPSession}}} object.

   This (possibly changed) {{{SDPSession}}} object then needs to be passed to the {{{Invitation}}} object.

   After SDP negotiation is completed, the application needs to pass both the local and remote SDP, in the form of {{{SDPSession}}} objects, to the {{{RTPTransport}}} object using the {{{set_ESTABLISHED()}}} method, moving the state machine into the {{{ESTABLISHED}}} state.

   This will not change either of the {{{SDPSession}}} objects.

 * The second scenario is where the local party is offered a media stream in SDP and wants to accept it.

   In this case a {{{RTPTransport}}} is also instantiated and initialized using the {{{set_INIT()}}} method, and the application can generate the local SDP in response to the remote SDP, using the {{{local_rtp_address}}} and {{{local_rtp_port}}} attributes.

   Directly after this it should pass the generated local SDP and received remote SDP, in the form of {{{SDPSession}}} objects, to the {{{set_ESTABLISHED()}}} method.

   In this case the local SDP object may be changed, after which it can be passed to the {{{Invitation}}} object.

Whenever the {{{RTPTransport}}} object is in the {{{LOCAL}}} or {{{ESTABLISHED}}} states, it may be reset to the {{{INIT}}} state to facilitate re-use of the existing transport and its features.

Before doing this however, the internal transport object must no longer be in use.
