Configurable Compact Sip Header - Aastra 9000i Series Administrator's Manual

Configurable Compact SIP Header

The phones provide a feature that allows an Administrator to shorten the length of a SIP packet
by using the compact form. This feature is in accordance with Compact SIP Headers defined in
RFC 3261.
For example, the following SIP header is the long format:
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP
10.50.91.2:5060;branch=z9hG4bK571ebe0c;rport=5060;received=10.50.91.2
From: "Unknown" <sip:Unknown@10.50.91.2>;tag=as19d00fc8
To: <sip:1106@10.50.110.54:5060;transport=udp>;tag=916699998
Call-Id: 73cad5456806f3a7768d17e8617279d7@10.50.91.2
CSeq: 102 OPTIONS
The following SIP header is equivalent to the above SIP header, but uses the short (compact)
format instead:
v: SIP/2.0/UDP
10.50.91.2:5060;branch=z9hG4bK571ebe0c;rport=5060;received=10.50.91.2
f: "Unknown" <sip:Unknown@10.50.91.2>;tag=as19d00fc8
t: <sip:1106@10.50.110.54:5060;transport=udp>;tag=916699998
i: 73cad5456806f3a7768d17e8617279d7@10.50.91.2
CSeq: 102 OPTIONS
By default, the IP Phones use the long format. However, an Administrator can provision the
short (compact) format using the configuration files. The Aastra Web UI does not support this
configuration feature.
