(RFC 3204 published December 2001, subtype last updated December 2001) Media type name: application Media subtype name: QSIG Required parameters: none Optional parameters: version Encoding scheme: binary Security considerations: See section 5. The use of the 'version' parameter allows identification of different QSIG variants. This enables the terminating Connection Server to recognize and parse the message correctly, or (possibly) to reject the message if the particular QSIG variant is not supported. Table 2 is a list of protocol versions supported by the 'application/QSIG' media type. Table 2: QSIG versions version protocol ------- -------- iso ISO/IEC 11572 (Basic Call) and ISO/IEC 11582 (Generic Functional Protocol) The following is how a typical header would look (Content-Disposition not included in this instance): Content-Type: application/QSIG; version=iso The default Content-Disposition disposition-type is "signal" as in an ISUP body part. The "handling" parameter described above can also be used for QSIG bodies.
