37 /**
38  * The From header field indicates the logical identity of the initiator
39 
40  * of the request, possibly the user's address-of-record. This may be different
41 
42  * from the initiator of the dialog.  Requests sent by the callee to the caller
43 
44  * use the callee's address in the From header field.
45 
46  * <p>
47 
48  * Like the To header field, it contains a URI and optionally a display name,
49 
50  * encapsulated in a {@link javax.sip.address.Address}.  It is used by SIP
51 
52  * elements to determine which processing rules to apply to a request (for
53 
54  * example, automatic call rejection). As such, it is very important that the
55 
56  * From URI not contain IP addresses or the FQDN of the host on which the UA is
57 
58  * running, since these are not logical names.
59 
60  * <p>
61 
62  * The From header field allows for a display name.  A UAC SHOULD use
63 
64  * the display name "Anonymous", along with a syntactically correct, but
65 
66  * otherwise meaningless URI (like sip:thisis@anonymous.invalid), if the
67 
68  * identity of the client is to remain hidden.
69 
70  * <p>
71 
72  * Usually, the value that populates the From header field in requests
73 
74  * generated by a particular UA is pre-provisioned by the user or by the
75 
76  * administrators of the user's local domain.  If a particular UA is used by
77 
78  * multiple users, it might have switchable profiles that include a URI
79 
80  * corresponding to the identity of the profiled user. Recipients of requests
81 
82  * can authenticate the originator of a request in order to ascertain that
83 
84  * they are who their From header field claims they are.
85 
86  * <p>
87 
88  * Two From header fields are equivalent if their URIs match, and their
89 
90  * parameters match. Extension parameters in one header field, not present in
91 
92  * the other are ignored for the purposes of comparison. This means that the
93 
94  * display name and presence or absence of angle brackets do not affect
95 
96  * matching.
97 
98  * <ul>
99 
100  * <li> The "Tag" parameter - is used in the To and From header fields of SIP
101 
102  * messages.  It serves as a general mechanism to identify a dialog, which is
103 
104  * the combination of the Call-ID along with two tags, one from each
105 
106  * participant in the dialog.  When a User Agent sends a request outside of a dialog,
107 
108  * it contains a From tag only, providing "half" of the dialog ID. The dialog
109 
110  * is completed from the response(s), each of which contributes the second half
111 
112  * in the To header field. When a tag is generated by a User Agent for insertion into
113 
114  * a request or response, it MUST be globally unique and cryptographically
115 
116  * random with at least 32 bits of randomness. Besides the requirement for
117 
118  * global uniqueness, the algorithm for generating a tag is implementation
119 
120  * specific.  Tags are helpful in fault tolerant systems, where a dialog is to
121 
122  * be recovered on an alternate server after a failure.  A UAS can select the
123 
124  * tag in such a way that a backup can recognize a request as part of a dialog
125 
126  * on the failed server, and therefore determine that it should attempt to
127 
128  * recover the dialog and any other state associated with it.
129 
130  * </ul>
131  * For Example:<br>
132  * <code>From: "Bob" sips:bob@biloxi.com ;tag=a48s<br>
133  * From: sip:+12125551212@phone2net.com;tag=887s<br>
134  * From: Anonymous sip:c8oqz84zk7z@privacy.org;tag=hyh8</code>
