Table 1 Feature Information for Cisco UBE (Enterprise) SIP Support Features 

Feature Name	Releases	Feature Information
Transparent Tunneling of QSIG and Q.931 over SIP TDM Gateway and SIP-SIP Cisco Unified Border Element	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S	This feature adds support for transparent tunneling of all Q.931 messages over SIP and for the Transparent Tunneling of QSIG and Q.931 over a SIP-SIP Cisco Unified Border Element. Transparent tunneling is accomplished by encapsulating QSIG or Q.931 messages within SIP message bodies. These messages are encapsulated using "application/qsig" or "application/x-q931" Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) to tunnel between SIP endpoints. Using MIME to tunnel through Cisco SIP messaging does not include any additional QSIG/Q.931 services to SIP interworking. This feature uses no new or modified commands.

Cisco Unified Border Element platforms transparently pass the History-info across SIP legs. The receiving application uses the history-info header information to determine how and why the call has reached it. The following commands were introduced or modified: history-info and voice-class sip history-info
SIP Diversion Header Enhancements	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S	The SIP Diversion Header Enhancements feature enables time-division multiplex (TDM) gateways and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to populate the SIP Diversion Header with a domain name.

This feature includes the following new or modified commands: bock, voice-class sip block, map resp-code, voice-class sip map.
SIP - Session Timer Support	Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5	The SIP Session Timer Support feature adds the capability to periodically refresh Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) sessions by sending repeated INVITE requests. The repeated INVITE requests, or re-INVITEs, are sent during an active call leg to allow user agents (UAs) or proxies to determine the status of a SIP session. The following commands were introduced or modified: min-se (SIP) and show sip-ua min-se.
SIP - Enhanced 180 Provisional Response Handling	Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5	The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Enhanced 180 Provisional Response Handling feature provides the ability to enable or disable early media cut-through on Cisco IOS gateways for SIP 180 response messages.

Selective Filtering of Outgoing Provisional Response on the Cisco Unified Border Elements	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S	This feature adds support on Cisco UBE for selective filtering of outgoing provisional responses, including 180-Alerting, and 183-Session In Progress responses. Selective filtering can be further based on the availability of media information in the received provisional response. This feature introduces the following commands: block and voice-class sip block.
RFC 4040-Based Clear Channel Codec Negotiation for SIP Calls	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S	This feature adds support for RFC 4040-based clear channel codec Negotiation for SIP calls. The following commands were modified: encap clear-channel standard and voice-class sip encap clear-channel
Reporting End-of-Call Statistics in SIP BYE Message	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3S	Allows users to send call statistics to remote ends when a call terminates. These statistics are sent as a new header in a BYE message or in the 200 OK message. The following commands were introduced or modified: request, response.
PAID, PPID, Privacy, PCPID, and PAURI Headers on the Cisco Unified Border Element	Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S	This feature enables Cisco UBE platforms to support: •P-Preferred Identity (PPID), P-Asserted Identity (PAID), Privacy, P-Called Party Identity (PCPID), in INVITE messages •Translation of PAID headers to PPID headers and vice versa •Translation of From: or RPID headers to PAID or PPID headers and vice versa •Configuration and/or pass through of privacy header values •PCPID header to route INVITE messages •Multiple PAURI headers in the response messages (200 OK) it receives to REGISTER messages •P-Preferred Identity and P-Asserted Identity Headers The following commands were introduced: call-route p-called-party-id, privacy-policy, random-contact, random-request-uri validate, voice-class sip call-route p-called-party-id, voice-class sip privacy-policy, voice-class sip random-contact, and voice-class sip random-request-uri validate.
