The caller ID information is passed through from the ISDN-to-SIP by copying the number in the Calling Party Number information element (IE) in an ISDN Setup message into the Calling Number field of the SIP Remote-Party-ID and From headers.

However, for added privacy, the SIP: CLI for Caller ID When Privacy Exists feature introduces CLI to completely remove the Calling Number and Display Name from an outgoing message’s From header if presentation is prohibited. This prohibits sending the SIP Remote Party ID header, because the Cisco gateway does not send SIP Remote-Party ID headers without both a Display Name and Calling Number.

 

 

Presentation Indicator : Presentation Allowed

From: “User1” <sip:5550100@10.0.0.0>;tag=1

Remote-Party-ID: “User1”<sip:5550100@10.0.0.0>;party=calling;privacy=off

 

Presentation Indicator : Presentation Prohibited

From: “User1” <sip:5550100@10.0.0.0>;tag=1

Remote-Party-ID: “User1”<sip:5550100@10.0.0.0>;party=calling;privacy=full

 

Remote-Party-Id

This header was defined in a failed RFC : http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-privacy-00 . Although this header is supported by SIP devices and SIP PBXs, this was never accepted as a standard.

 

P-Asserted-Identity and Privacy Headers

P-Asserted-Identity and Privacy headers are defined in RFC 3325. The P-Asserted-Identity contains the caller id information for the call on the INVITE SIP packet. The Privacy header contains information on which parts of the caller id are private.
This is the acceptable way to specify privacy information for calls.
