<p>The protocol defined herein enables Jabber entities to negotiate options for specific features. These features could be negotiated between any two endpoints on the Jabber network, such as two clients, a client and a component, two components, a client and a server, or two servers. The protocol is generic enough that it can be used whenever options need to be negotiated between two Jabber entities. For examples, &xep0095;, &xep0096; or &xep0155;.</p> <p>The protocol defined herein enables Jabber entities to negotiate options for specific features.

<p>Features are negotiated though the exchange of &IQ; or &MESSAGE; stanzas containing &lt;feature/&gt; child elements qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg' namespace.

<p>In order to begin a negotation, the initiator sends an &IQ; stanza of type "get" (or a &MESSAGE; stanza type "normal" - see <cite>Chat Session Negotiation</cite> for examples) to the recipient with a single &lt;feature/&gt; element containing a data form of type "form" which defines the available options for one or more features.

<p>The recipient SHOULD examine each feature and the values of the options provided.

<p>The block cipher counters maintained implicitly by Alice and Bob (&CsubA; and &CsubB;) prevent stanzas being replayed within any encrypted session.
