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 wraps 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 sound-card.
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 sound-card 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 library resides in the {{{sipsimple.core}}} package. This package aggregates three modules, {{{sipsimple.core._core}}}, {{{sipsimple.core._engine}}} and {{{sipsimple.core._primitives}}}. The former is a Python C extension module which makes wrappers around PJSIP objects available in Python, while the latter two contain SIP core objects written in Python. All core objects should be accessed from the enclosing {{{sipsimple.core}}} module. The following list enumerates the various SIP core objects available: * The {{{Engine}}} class which is a Python wrapper around the low-level {{{PJSIPUA}}} class. The latter represents the SIP endpoint and manages the initialization and destruction of all the PJSIP libraries. It is also the central management point to the SIP core. The application should not use the {{{PJSIPUA}}} class directly, but rather through the wrapping {{{Engine}}}, which is a singleton class. * Utility classes used throughout the core: * {{{frozenlist}}} and {{{frozendict}}}: classes which relate respectively to {{{list}}} and {{{dict}}} similarly to how the standard {{{frozenset}}} relates to {{{set}}}. * Helper classes which represent a structured collection of data which is used throughout the core: * {{{BaseSIPURI}}}, {{{SIPURI}}} and {{{FrozenSIPURI}}} * {{{BaseCredentials}}}, {{{Credentials}}} and {{{FrozenCredentials}}} * SDP manipulation classes, which directly wrap the PJSIP structures representing either the parsed or to be generated SDP: * {{{BaseSDPSession}}}, {{{SDPSession}}} and {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} * {{{BaseSDPMediaStream}}}, {{{SDPMediaStream}}} and {{{FrozenSDPMediaStream}}} * {{{BaseSDPConnection}}}, {{{SDPConnection}}} and {{{FrozenSDPConnection}}} * {{{SDPAttributeList}}} and {{{FrozenSDPAttributeList}}} * {{{BaseSDPAttribute}}}, {{{SDPAttribute}}} and {{{FrozenSDPAttribute}}} * Audio handling classes: * {{{AudioMixer}}} * {{{MixerPort}}} * {{{WaveFile}}} * {{{RecordingWaveFile}}} * {{{ToneGenerator}}} * Media transport handling classes, using the functionality built into PJMEDIA: * {{{RTPTransport}}} * {{{AudioTransport}}} * SIP signalling related classes: * {{{Request}}} and {{{IncomingRequest}}}: low-level transaction support * {{{Invitation}}}: INVITE-dialog support * {{{Subscription}}} and {{{IncomingSubscription}}}: SUBSCRIBE-dialog support (including NOTIFY handling within the SUBSCRIBE dialog) * {{{Registration}}}: Python object based on {{{Request}}} for REGISTER support * {{{Message}}}: Python object based on {{{Request}}} for MESSAGE support * {{{Publication}}}: Python object based on {{{Request}}} for PUBLISH support * Exceptions: * {{{SIPCoreError}}}: generic error used throught the core * {{{PJSIPError}}}: subclass of {{{SIPCoreError}}} which offers more information related to errors from PJSIP * {{{PJSIPTLSError}}}: subclass of {{{PJSIPError}}} to distinguish between TLS-related errors and the rest * {{{SIPCoreInvalidStateError}}}: subclass of {{{SIPCoreError}}} used by objects which are based on a state-machine

Most of the objects cannot be used until the {{{Engine}}} has been started. The following diagram illustrates these classes:

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

Most of the SIP core does not allow duck-typing due to the nature of the integration between it and PJSIP. If these checks had not been employed, any errors could have resulted in a segmentation fault and a core dump. This also explains why several objects have a '''Frozen''' counterpart: the frozen objects are simply immutable versions of their non-frozen variants which make sure that low-level data is kept consistent and cannot be modified from Python. The '''Base''' versions are just base classes for the frozen and non-frozen versions provided mostly for convinience: they cannot be instantiated.

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.
Most of the notifications in the core have 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 {{{sipsimple.core}}} module.
It can then instantiate 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 instantiate 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.core import ContactHeader, Credentials, Engine, Registration, RouteHeader, SIPURI
e = Engine()
e.start()
identity = FromHeader(SIPURI, display_name="Alice")
cred = Credentials("alice", "mypassword")
reg = Registration(identity, credentials=cred)
reg.register(ContactHeader(SIPURI), RouteHeader(SIPURI))
}}}
Note that in this example no observer for notifications from this {{{Registration}}} object are registered, so the result of the operation cannot be seen.
Also note that this will not keep the registration registered when it is about to expire, as it is the application's responsibility.
See the {{{Registration}}} documentation for more details.

Another convention that is worth mentioning at this point is that the SIP core will never perform DNS lookups.
For the sake of flexibility, it is the responsibility of the application to do this and pass the result to SIP core objects using the {{{RouteHeader}}} object, indicating the destination IP address, port and transport the resulting SIP request should be sent to. The [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#Lookup {{{sipsimple.lookup}}}] module of the middleware can be used to perform DNS lookups according to RFC3263.

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 provided 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]]''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_udp_port()}}} method.
[[BR]]''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_tcp_port()}}} method.
[[BR]]''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]]''user_agent'': (Default: {{{"sipsimple-%version-pjsip-%pjsip_version-r%pjsip_svn_revision"}}})[[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]]''rtp_port_range'': (Default: (40000, 40100))[[BR]]
This tuple of two integers 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: &lt;some sensible events&gt;)[[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 {{{add_event()}}} method.
[[BR]]''incoming_events'': (Default: {{{set()}}})[[BR]]
A list that specifies for which SIP SIMPLE event packages the application wishes to receive {{{IncomingSubscribe}}} objects.
When a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request is received containing an event name that is not in this list, a 489 "Bad event" response is internally generated.
When the event is in the list, an {{{IncomingSubscribe}}} object is created based on the request and passed to the application by means of a notification.
Note that each of the events specified here should also be a key in the {{{events}}} dictionary argument.
As an attribute, this value is read-only, but it can be changed at runtime using the {{{add_incoming_event()}}} and {{{remove_incoming_event()}}} methods.
[[BR]]''incoming_requests'': (Default: {{{set()}}})[[BR]]
A set of methods for which {{{IncomingRequest}}} objects are created and sent to the application if they are received.
Note that receiving requests using the {{{INVITE}}}, {{{SUBSCRIBE}}}, {{{ACK}}} or {{{BYE}}} methods in this way is not allowed.
Requests using the {{{OPTIONS}}} or {{{MESSAGE}}} method are handled internally, but may be overridden.
'''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, thse other attributes are provided once the {{{Engine}}} has been started.

'''input_devices'''::
This read-only attribute is a list of strings, representing all audio input devices on the system that can be used.
One of these device names can be passed as the {{{input_device}}} argument when creating a {{{AudioMixer}}} object.
'''output_devices'''::
This read-only attribute is a list of strings, representing all audio output devices on the system that can be used.
One of these device names can be passed as the {{{output_device}}} argument when creating a {{{AudioMixer}}} object.
'''sound_devices'''::
This read-only attribute is a list of strings, representing all audio sound devices on the system that can be used.
'''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.
'''add_incoming_event'''(''self'', '''event''')::
Adds a SIP SIMPLE event package to the set of events for which the {{{Engine}}} should create an {{{IncomingSubscribe}}} object when a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request is received.
Note that this event should be known to the {{{Engine}}} by means of the {{{events}}} attribute.
'''remove_incoming_event'''(''self'', '''event''')::
Removes an event from the {{{incoming_events}}} attribute.
Incoming {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} requests with this event package will automatically be replied to with a 489 "Bad Event" response.
'''add_incoming_request'''(''self'', '''method''')::
Add a method to the set of methods for which incoming requests should be turned into {{{IncomingRequest}}} objects.
For the rules on which methods are allowed, see the description of the Engine attribute above.
'''remove_incoming_request'''(''self'', '''method''')::
Removes a method from the set of methods that should be received.
'''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_udp_port'''(''self'', '''value''')::
Update the {{{local_udp_port}}} attribute to the newly specified value.
'''set_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.

==== 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]]
A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.
'''SIPEngineDidStart'''::
This notification is sent when the {{{Engine}}} is has just been started.
[[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.
'''SIPEngineDidFail'''::
This notification is sent whenever the {{{Engine}}} has failed fatally and either cannot start or is about to stop.
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.
Methods on the {{{Engine}}} can be called at this point, but anything that has a delayed result will probably not return any notification.
[[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.
'''SIPEngineDidEnd'''::
This notification is sent when the {{{Engine}}} was running and is now stopped, either because of failure or because the application requested it.
[[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.
'''SIPEngineLog'''::
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.
[[BR]]''level'':[[BR]]
The logging level of the message as an integer.
Currently this is 1 through 5, 1 being the most critical.
[[BR]]''message'':[[BR]]
The actual log message.
'''SIPEngineSIPTrace'''::
Will be sent only when the {{{do_siptrace}}} attribute of the {{{Engine}}} instance is set to {{{True}}}.
The notification data attributes will contain the SIP messages as they are sent and received on the wire.
[[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.
[[BR]]''received'':[[BR]]
A boolean indicating if this message was sent from or received by PJSIP (i.e. the direction of the message).
[[BR]]''source_ip'':[[BR]]
The source IP address as a string.
[[BR]]''source_port'':[[BR]]
The source port of the message as an integer.

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.

'''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
The {{{user_data}}} argument passed while calling the {{{detect_nat_type()}}} method.
This can be any object and could be used for matching requests to responses.
BR''nat_type'':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.

=== SIPURI ===

These are helper objects 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. The FrozenSIPURI object does not allow any of its attributes to be changed after initialization.

==== methods ====

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

[[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.

'''new'''(''cls'', ''sipuri'')::
Classmethod that returns an instance of the class on which it has been called which is a copy of the {{{sipuri}}} object (which must be either a SIPURI or a FrozenSIPURI).
'''parse'''(''cls'', ''uri_str'')::
Classmethod that returns an instance of the class on which it has been called which is represents the parsed version of the URI provided as a string. A SIPCoreError is raised if the string is invalid or if the Engine has not been started yet.

=== Credentials ===

The {{{Credentials}}} and {{{FrozenCredentails}}} simple objects represent authentication credentials for a particular SIP account.
These can be included whenever creating a SIP primitive object that originates SIP requests.
The attributes of this object are the same as the arguments to the {{{__init__}}} method.
Note that the domain name of the SIP account is not stored on this object.

==== methods ====

'''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''username''', '''password''')::
Creates the Credentials object with the specified parameters as attributes.
Each of these attributes can be accessed and changed on the object once instanced.

The password for this SIP account as a string.
'''new'''(''cls'', ''credentials'')::
Classmethod that returns an instance of the class on which it has been called which is a copy of the {{{credentials}}} object (which must be either a Credentials or a FrozenCredentials).

=== 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}}} and {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} objects directly represent the contents of a SDP body, as carried e.g. in an 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.
They can be passed to those methods of an {{{Invitation}}} object that result in transmission of a message that includes SDP, or are passed to the application through a notification that is triggered by reception of a message that includes SDP.
A {{{(Frozen)SDPSession}}} object may contain {{{(Frozen)SDPMediaStream}}}, {{{(Frozen)SDPConnection}}} and {{{(Frozen)SDPAttribute}}} objects.
It supports comparison to other {{{(Frozen)SDPSession}}} objects using the == and != expressions.
As all the attributes of the {{{(Frozen)SDPSession}}} class are set by attributes of the {{{__init__}}} method, they will be documented along with that method.

It wraps a [http://www.pjsip.org/pjmedia/docs/html/group__PJMEDIA__CONF.htm PJSIP conference bridge], the concept of which is explained in the [http://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/Python_SIP/Media PJSIP documentation].
Any component in the core that either produces or consumes sound, i.e. {{{AudioTransport}}}, {{{ToneGenerator}}}, {{{WaveFile}}} and {{{RecordingWaveFile}}} objects, has a {{{ConferenceBridge}}} associated with it and a corresponding slot on that conference bridge.
The sound devices, both input and output, together always occupy slot 0.
It is up to the application to setup the desired routing between these components. Note that the middleware provides an abstracted API which hides the complexity of using the low-level PJSIP concepts. This is mainly provided in the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#Audio {{{sipsimple.audio}}}] module, but also consists of other audio-enabled objects (such as the AudioStream).

=== 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 negotiation 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}}} attributes respectively, which can be used to generate the local SDP in the form of a {{{SDPSession}}} object.
This local SDP then needs to be passed to the {{{set_LOCAL()}}} method, which moves the state machine into the {{{LOCAL}}} state (note that it needs the full object, not just the relevant {{{SDPMediaStream}}} object).
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 {{{(Frozen)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 {{{(Frozen)SDPSession}}} objects (which is why they can also be frozen). * 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.

=== AudioTransport ===

This object represent an audio stream as it is transported over the network.
It contains an instance of {{{RTPTransport}}} and wraps a [http://www.pjsip.org/pjmedia/docs/html/group__PJMED__STRM.htm pjmedia_stream] object, which in turn manages the RTP encapsulation, RTCP session, audio codec and adaptive jitter buffer.
It also generates a {{{SDPMediaStream}}} object to be included in the local SDP.

The {{{AudioTransport}}} is an object that, once started, is connected to a {{{AudioMixer}}} instance, and both produces and consumes sound.

Like the {{{RTPTransport}}} object there are two usage scenarios. * In the first scenario, only the {{{RTPTransport}}} instance to be used is passed to the AudioTransport object.
The application can then generate the {{{SDPMediaStream}}} object by calling the {{{get_local_media()}}} method and should include it in the SDP offer.
Once the remote SDP is received, it should be set along with the complete local SDP by calling the {{{start()}}} method, which will start the audio stream.
The stream can then be connected to the conference bridge. * In the other scenario the remote SDP is already known because it was received in an SDP offer and can be passed directly on object instantiation.
The local {{{SDPMediaStream}}} object can again be generated by calling the {{{get_local_media()}}} method and is to be included in the SDP answer.
The audio stream is started directly when the object is created.

Unlike the {{{RTPTransport}}} object, this object cannot be reused.

==== methods ====

'''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''mixer''', '''transport''', '''remote_sdp'''={{{None}}}, '''sdp_index'''=0, '''enable_silence_detection'''=True, '''codecs'''={{{None}}})::

This overrides the global codecs list set on the {{{Engine}}}.
The values of this list are case insensitive.
'''get_local_media'''(''self'', '''is_offer''', '''direction'''="sendrecv")::
Generates a {{{SDPMediaStream}}} object which describes the audio stream.
This object should be included in a {{{SDPSession}}} object that gets passed to the {{{Invitation}}} object.
This method should also be used to obtain the SDP to include in re-INVITEs and replies to re-INVITEs.
[[BR]]''is_offer'':[[BR]]
A boolean indicating if the SDP requested is to be included in an offer.
If this is {{{False}}} it is to be included in an answer.
[[BR]]''direction'':[[BR]]
The direction attribute to put in the SDP.
'''start'''(''self'', '''local_sdp''', '''remote_sdp''', '''sdp_index''', '''no_media_timeout'''=10, '''media_check_interval'''=30)::
This method should only be called once, when the application has previously sent an SDP offer and the answer has been received.

Setting this to 0 disables this an all subsequent RTP checks.
[[BR]]''media_check_interval'':[[BR]]
This indicates the interval at which the RTP stream should be checked, after it has initially received RTP at after {{{no_media_timeout}}} seconds.
It means that if between two of these interval checks no RTP has been received, a {{{RTPAudioTransportDidNotGetRTP}}} notification will be sent.
Setting this to 0 will disable checking the RTP at intervals.
The initial check may still be performed if its timeout is non-zero.
'''stop'''(''self'')::
This method stops and destroys the audio stream encapsulated by this object.
After this it can no longer be used and should be deleted, while the {{{RTPTransport}}} object used by it can be re-used for something else.
This method will be called automatically when the object is deleted after it was started, but this should not be relied on because of possible reference counting issues.
'''send_dtmf'''(''self'', '''digit''')::

'''is_started'''::
A boolean indicating if the object has been started.
Both this attribute and the {{{is_active}}} attribute get set to {{{True}}} once the {{{start()}}} method is called, but unlike the {{{is_active}}} attribute this attribute does not get set to {{{False}}} once {{{stop()}}} is called.
This is to prevent the object from being re-used.
This attribute is read-only.

In effect, if no RTP was received after {{{no_media_timeout}}} seconds, its value will be {{{False}}}.

=== Request ===

The {{{sipsimple.core.Request}}} object encapsulates a single SIP request transaction from the client side, which includes sending the request, receiving the response and possibly waiting for the result of the request to expire.
Although this class can be used by the application to construct and send an arbitrary SIP request, most applications will use the classes for primitive requests provided in the {{{sipsimple.core}}} module, which are built on top of one or several {{{Request}}} objects and deal with instances of specific SIP methods (REGISTER, MESSAGE and PUBLISH).

The lifetime of this object is linear and is described by the following diagram:

Image(sipsimple-request-lifetime.png, nolink)

The bar denotes which state the object is in and at the top are the notifications which may be emitted at certain points in time.
Directly after the object is instantiated, it will be in the {{{INIT}}} state.
The request will be sent over the network once its {{{send()}}} method is called, moving the object into the {{{IN_PROGRESS}}} state.
On each provisional response that is received in reply to this request, the {{{SIPRequestGotProvisionalResponse}}} notification is sent, with data describing the response.
Note that this may not occur at all if not provisional responses are received.
When the {{{send()}}} method has been called and it does not return an exception, the object will send either a {{{SIPRequestDidSucceed}}} or a {{{SIPRequestDidFail}}} notification.
Both of these notifications include data on the response that triggered it.
Note that a SIP response that requests authentication (401 or 407) will be handled internally the first time, if a {{{Credentials}}} object was supplied.
If this is the sort of request that expires (detected by a {{{Expires}}} header in the response or a {{{expires}}} parameter in the {{{Contact}}} header of the response), and the request was successful, the object will go into the {{{EXPIRING}}} state.
A certain amount of time before the result of the request will expire, governed by the {{{expire_warning_time}}} class attribute and the actual returned expiration time, a {{{SIPRequestWillExpire}}} notification will be sent.
This should usually trigger whomever is using this {{{Request}}} object to construct a new {{{Request}}} for a refreshing operation.
When the {{{Request}}} actually expires, or when the {{{EXPIRING}}} state is skipped directly after sending {{{SIPRequestDidSucceed}}} or {{{SIPRequestDidFail}}}, a {{{SIPRequestDidEnd}}} notification will be sent.

=== IncomingRequest ===

This is a relatively simple object that can manage responding to incoming requests in a single transaction.
For this reason it does not handle requests that create a dialog.
To register methods for which requests should be formed into an {{{IncomingRequest}}} object, the application should set the {{{incoming_requests}}} set attribute on the {{{Engine}}}.
Receiving {{{INVITE}}}, {{{SUBSCRIBE}}}, {{{ACK}}} and {{{BYE}}} through this object is not supported.

The application is notified of an incoming request through the {{{SIPIncomingRequestGotRequest}}} notification.
It can answer this request by calling the {{{answer}}} method on the sender of this notification.
Note that if the {{{IncomingRequest}}} object gets destroyed before it is answered, a 500 response is automatically sent.

==== attributes ====

'''state'''::
This read-only attribute indicates the state the object is in.
This can be {{{None}}} if the object was created by the application, essentially meaning the object is inert, {{{"incoming"}}} or {{{"answered"}}}.

=== Message ===

The {{{Message}}} class is a simple wrapper for the {{{Request}}} class, with the purpose of sending {{{MESSAGE}}} requests, as described in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3428 RFC 3428].
It is a one-shot object that manages only one {{{Request}}} object.

This is 0 if the failure is caused by an internal error.
[[BR]]''reason'':[[BR]]
A status string describing the failure, either taken from the SIP response or the internal error.

=== Registration ===

The {{{Registration}}} class wraps a series of {{{Request}}} objects, managing the registration of a particular contact URI at a SIP registrar through the sending of {{{REGISTER}}} requests.
For details, see [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261 RFC 3261].
This object is designed in such a way that it will not initiate sending a refreshing {{{REGISTER}}} itself, rather it will inform the application that a registration is about to expire.
The application should then perform a DNS lookup to find the relevant SIP registrar and call the {{{register()}}} method on this object.

==== methods ====

If the object is currently busy sending a {{{REGISTER}}}, this request will be preempted for the new one.
Once sent, the {{{Registration}}} object will send either a {{{SIPRegistrationDidSucceed}}} or a {{{SIPRegistrationDidFail}}} notification.
The {{{contact_header}}} argument is mentioned in the attributes section of this class.
The {{{route_header}}} argument specifies the IP address, port and transport of the SIP registrar in the form of a {{{RouteHeader}}} object and {{{timeout}}} has the same meaning as it does for {{{Request.send()}}}.
'''end'''(''self'', '''timeout'''={{{None}}})::
Calling this method while the object is registered will attempt to send a {{{REGISTER}}} request with the {{{Expires}}} headers set to 0, effectively unregistering the contact URI at the registrar.
The {{{RouteHeader}}} used for this will be the same as the last successfully sent {{{REGISTER}}} request.
If another {{{REGISTER}}} is currently being sent, it will be preempted.
When the unregistering {{{REGISTER}}} request is sent, a {{{SIPRegistrationWillEnd}}} notification is sent.
After this, either a {{{SIPRegistrationDidEnd}}} with the {{{expired}}} data attribute set to {{{False}}} will be sent, indicating a successful unregister, or a {{{SIPRegistrationDidNotEnd}}} notification is sent if unregistering fails for some reason.
Calling this method when the object is not registered will do nothing.
The {{{timeout}}} argument has the same meaning as for the {{{register()}}} method.

=== 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 series of {{{PUBLISH}}} request.
This object is similar in behaviour to the {{{Registration}}} object, as it is also based on a sequence of {{{Request}}} objects.
As with this other object, the {{{Publication}}} object will notify the application when a published item is about to expire and it is the applications responsibility to perform a DNS lookup and call the {{{publish()}}} method in order to send the {{{PUBLISH}}} request.

==== methods ====

'''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''from_header''', '''event''', '''content_type''', '''credentials'''={{{None}}}, '''duration'''=300)::
Creates a new {{{Publication}}} object with the specified arguments.

[[BR]]''body'':[[BR]]
The body to place in the {{{PUBLISH}}} request as a string.
This body needs to be of the content type specified at object creation.
For the initial request, a body will need to be specified.
For subsequent refreshing {{{PUBLISH}}} requests, the body can be {{{None}}} to indicate that the last published body should be refreshed.
If there was an ETag error with the previous refreshing {{{PUBLISH}}}, calling this method with a body of {{{None}}} will throw a {{{PublicationError}}}.
[[BR]]''route_header'':[[BR]]
The host where the request should be sent to in the form of a {{{(Frozen)RouteHeader}}} object.
[[BR]]''timeout'':[[BR]]
This can be either an int or a float, indicating in how many seconds the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request should timeout with an internally generated 408 response.
This is is {{{None}}}, the internal 408 is only triggered by the internal PJSIP transaction timeout.
Note that, even if the timeout is specified, the PJSIP timeout is also still valid.
'''end'''(''self'', '''timeout'''={{{None}}})::
End the publication by sending a {{{PUBLISH}}} request with an {{{Expires}}} header of 0.
If the object is not published, this will result in a {{{PublicationError}}} being thrown.

Note that this attribute needs to be in the typical MIME type form, containing a "/" character.
'''credentials'''::
The credentials to be used when challenged for authentication by the presence agent, represented by a {{{(Frozen)Credentials}}} object.
This attribute is set at instantiation, can be {{{None}}} if it was not specified and can be updated to be used for the next {{{PUBLISH}}} request.
Note that, in contrast to most other classes mentioned in this document, the {{{Publication}}} class does not make a copy of the {{{(Frozen)Credentials}}} object on instantiation, but instead retains a reference to it.
'''duration'''::
The amount of time in seconds that the publication should be valid for.
This attribute is set at object instantiation and can be updated for subsequent {{{PUBLISH}}} requests.
'''is_published'''::
A boolean read-only property indicating if this object is currently published.

=== 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 {{{SIPSubscriptionGotNotify}}} 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 of the object is presented in the {{{state}}} attribute and changes of the state are indicated by means of the {{{SIPSubscriptionChangedState}}} notification.
This notification is only informational, an application using this object should take actions based on the other notifications sent by this object.

==== methods ====

'''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''from_header''', '''to_header''', '''contact_header, '''event''', '''route_header''', '''credentials'''={{{None}}}, '''refresh'''=300)::
Creates a new {{{Subscription}}} object which will be in the {{{NULL}}} state.
The arguments for this method are documented in the attributes section above.
'''subscribe'''(''self'', '''extra_headers'''={{{None}}}, '''content_type'''={{{None}}}, '''body'''={{{None}}}, '''timeout'''={{{None}}})::
Calling this method triggers sending a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request to the presence agent.
The arguments passed will be stored and used for subsequent refreshing {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} requests.
This method may be used both to send the initial request and to update the arguments while the subscription is ongoing.
It may not be called when the object is in the {{{TERMINATED}}} state.
[[BR]]''extra_headers'':[[BR]]
A dictionary of additional headers to include in the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} requests.
[[BR]]''content_type'':[[BR]]

[[BR]]''body'':[[BR]]
The optional body to include in the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request as a string.
If this argument is supplied, the {{{content_type}}} argument cannot be {{{None}}}.
[[BR]]''timeout'':[[BR]]
This can be either an int or a float, indicating in how many seconds the request should timeout with an internally generated 408 response.
If this is {{{None}}}, the internal 408 is only triggered by the internal PJSIP transaction timeout.
Note that, even if the timeout is specified, the PJSIP timeout is also still valid.
'''end'''(''self'', '''timeout'''={{{None}}})::
This will end the subscription by sending a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request with an {{{Expires}}} value of 0.
If this object is no longer subscribed, this method will return without performing any action.
This method cannot be called when the object is in the {{{NULL}}} state.
The {{{timeout}}} argument has the same meaning as it does for the {{{subscribe()}}} method.

=== IncomingSubscription ===

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

This SIP primitive class is the mirror companion to the {{{Subscription}}} class and allows the application to take on the server role in a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} session.
This means that it can accept a {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request and subsequent refreshing {{{SUBSCRIBE}}}s and sent {{{NOTIFY}}} requests containing event state.

In order to be able to receive {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} requests for a particular event package, the application needs to add the name of this event package to the {{{incoming_events}}} set attribute on the {{{Engine}}}, either at startup or at a later time, using the {{{add_incoming_event()}}} method.
This event needs to be known by the {{{Engine}}}, i.e. it should already be present in the {{{events}}} dictionary attribute.
Once the event package name is in the {{{incoming_events}}} set attribute, any incoming {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request containing this name in the {{{Event}}} header causes the creation of a {{{IncomingSubscribe}}} object.
This will be indicated to the application through a {{{SIPIncomingSubscriptionGotSubscribe}}} notification.
It is then up to the application to check if the {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} request was valid, e.g. if it was actually directed at the correct SIP URI, and respond to it in a timely fashion.

The application can either reject the subscription by calling the {{{reject()}}} method or accept it through the {{{accept()}}} method, optionally first accepting it in the {{{pending}}} state by calling the {{{accept_pending()}}} method.
After the {{{IncomingSubscription}}} is accepted, the application can trigger sending a {{{NOTIFY}}} request with a body reflecting the event state through the {{{push_content()}}} method.
Whenever a refreshing {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} is received, the latest contents to be set are sent in the resulting {{{NOTIFY}}} request.
The subscription can be ended by using the {{{end()}}} method.

==== methods ====

'''!__init!__'''(''self'')::
An application should never create an {{{IncomingSubscription}}} object itself.
Doing this will create a useless object in the {{{None}}} state.
'''reject'''(''self'', '''code''')::
Will reply to the initial {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} with a negative response.
This method can only be called in the {{{"incoming"}}} state and sets the subscription to the {{{"terminated"}}} state.
[[BR]]''code'':[[BR]]
The SIP response code to use.
This should be a negative response, i.e. in the 3xx, 4xx, 5xx or 6xx range.
'''accept_pending'''(''self'')::
Accept the initial incoming {{{SUBSCRIBE}}}, but put the subscription in the {{{"pending"}}} state and reply with a 202, followed by a {{{NOTIFY}}} request indicating the state.
The application can later decide to fully accept the subscription or terminate it.
This method can only be called in the {{{"incoming"}}} state.
'''accept'''(''self'', '''content_type'''={{{None}}}, '''content'''={{{None}}})::
Accept the initial incoming {{{SUBSCRIBE}}} and respond to it with a 200 OK, or fully accept an {{{IncomingSubscription}}} that is in the {{{"pending"}}} state.
In either case, a {{{NOTIFY}}} will be sent to update the state to "active", optionally with the content specified in the arguments.
This method can only be called in the {{{"incoming"}}} or {{{"pending"}}} state.
[[BR]]''content_type'':[[BR]]
The Content-Type of the content to be set supplied as a string containing a {{{"/"}}} character.
Note that if this argument is set, the {{{content}}} argument should also be set.

The body of the {{{NOTIFY}}} to send when accepting the subscription, as a string.
Note that if this argument is set, the {{{content_type}}} argument should also be set.
'''push_content'''(''self'', '''content_type''', '''content''')::
Sets or updates the body of the {{{NOTIFY}}}s to be sent within this subscription and causes a {{{NOTIFY}}} to be sent to the subscriber.
This method can only be called in the {{{"active"}}} state.
[[BR]]''content_type'':[[BR]]
The Content-Type of the content to be set supplied as a string containing a {{{"/"}}} character.
[[BR]]''content'':[[BR]]
The body of the {{{NOTIFY}}} as a string.

=== 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:

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 {{{end()}}} 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.
