IMG 1010 - SIP History-Info Header
- Kelli Higdon
Overview:
The SIP History-Info Header defined in RFC 4244 provides a way of capturing any redirection information that may have occurred on a particular call. Without the SIP History-Info Header the redirecting information would be lost. The SIP History-Info Header is generated when a SIP request is re-targeted and can appear in any SIP request not associated with a dialog. The SIP History-Info header is generated by a User Agent or proxy and is passed from one entity to another through requests and responses. An example of the SIP History Header is shown below.
Example:
The SIP History-Info Header displays the following:
The URI or address that indicates the redirecting number
The reason for the Request-URI or address modification
Chronological ordering of the Request History information
The SIP History-Info Header is enabled in the SIP Headers pane which is created under the SIP SGP profile pane. See screen capture below of SIP Headers pane.
