<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>The administrator of an XMPP server may wish to deploy one or more STUN servers (see &rfc3489; and &rfc3489bis;) in order to ease the process of negotiating media exchanges via &xep0176;. A client can become aware of a STUN server in the following ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>The server is specified in the default settings for the client.</li>
<li>The server is manually added by a human user into the client's configuration.</li>
<li>The server is discovered via DNS SRV records as specified in Section 9.1 of <cite>RFC 3489</cite>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Unfortunately, the foregoing methods are subject to human error or cannot be deployed in wide range of scenarios. Therefore, this document defines a way for an XMPP server to advertise a list of STUN servers and provide credentials for use by an XMPP client at a STUN server. This method SHOULD be used only as a fallback when DNS SRV lookups are not possible for the client or server.</p>
<p>Note: The protocol specified herein is functionally equivalent to the protocol currently used in the Google Talk service and documented at &lt;<link url='http://code.google.com/apis/talk/jep_extensions/jingleinfo.html'>http://code.google.com/apis/talk/jep_extensions/jingleinfo.html</link>&gt;.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Protocol' anchor='protocol'>
<p>In order to learn about available STUN servers associated with or known by an XMPP server, a client sends an IQ-get containing a &lt;stun/&gt; element qualified by the "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns" namespace &NSNOTE;.</p>
<p>An example of the payload format for this node is as follows:</p>
<example caption='Entity Requests STUN Server List from XMPP Server'><![CDATA[
<iq type='get'
from='bard@shakespeare.lit/globe'
to='shakespeare.lit'
id='get1'>
<stun xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<example caption='XMPP Server Returns List'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result'
from='shakespeare.lit'
to='bard@shakespeare.lit/globe'
id='get1'>
<stun xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns'>
<server host='stun.shakespeare.lit' port='9999'/>
<server host='192.0.2.1' port='10001'/>
</stun>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>(Naturally, the XMPP MAY instead return an appropriate error, such as &unavailable; if the server does not support the STUN Server Discovery protocol or &forbidden; if the requesting entity does not have permission to receive the server list.)</p>
<p>The 'host' attribute is REQUIRED and specifies either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). The 'port' attribute is REQUIRED and specifies the communications port to be used at the host. <note>The port is necessary since this specification assumes that DNS SRV lookups are not possible.</note></p>
<p>A STUN server may require a username and password in order to accept STUN binding requests and/or STUN allocate requests. In this case, the XMPP server would typically generate a short-term authentication credential based on a private key shared with the STUN server (naturally, other implementations are possible, and long-term credentials could be used instead; see <cite>RFC 3489</cite> and <cite>rfc3489bis</cite> for details).</p>
<example caption='XMPP Server Returns List With Credentials'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result'
from='shakespeare.lit'
to='bard@shakespeare.lit/globe'
id='get1'>
<stun xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns'>
<server host='stun.shakespeare.lit'
port='9999'
username='nb78932lkjlskjfdb7g8'
password='jj929jkj5sadjfj93v3n'>
<server host='192.0.2.1'
port='10001'
username='auu98sjl2wk3e9fjdsl7'
password='93jn3bakj9s832lrjbbz'/>
</stun>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>The 'username' and 'password' attributes are OPTIONAL.</p>
<p>An XMPP server MAY send an updated list of STUN servers by "pushing" the list to a client that has previously requested the list:</p>
<example caption='List Push'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set'
from='shakespeare.lit'
to='bard@shakespeare.lit/globe'
id='push1'>
<stun xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns'>
<server host='stun.shakespeare.lit'
port='9999'
username='1nas9dlm3hzl89d0b9v'
password='gh9023ljjdk109iajqn'>
<server host='192.0.2.2'
port='10002'
username='bnsv120afg48snsdozp'
password='zxp023na98dsfahn1kk'/>
</stun>
</iq>

<section1 topic='Determining Support' anchor='disco'>
<p>If an entity supports the STUN Server Discovery protocol, it MUST report that fact by including a service discovery feature of "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html#ns" &NSNOTE; in response to a &xep0030; information request:</p>
<example caption="Service Discovery Information Request"><![CDATA[
