<p>&xep0166; defines a framework for negotiating and managing out-of-band data sessions over XMPP. In order to provide a flexible framework, the base Jingle specification defines neither data transport methods nor content formats, leaving that up to separate specifications. The current document defines two transport methods (ice-udp and ice-tcp) for establishing and managing data connections between XMPP entities, using the ICE methodology currently being developed within the IETF. The ice-udp method results in a lossy transport suitable for use in media applications where some packet loss is tolerable (e.g., audio and video), whereas the ice-tcp method results in a reliable transport suitable for use in applications where packet loss is not tolerable (e.g., file transfer).</p>
<p>The process for ICE negotiation is largely the same in Jingle as it is in &icecurr;. There are several differences:</p>
<ul>
<li>Instead of using SIP as the signalling channel, Jingle uses XMPP as the signalling channel.</li>
<li>In Jingle, each candidate transport is sent in a separate IQ exchange (rather than sending all candidates at once as in &icecurr;); this approach takes advantage of the request-response semantics of the XMPP &IQ; stanza type and enables the parties to send higher-priority candidates earlier in the negotiation.</li>
<li>Syntax from the Session Description Protocol (see &rfc4566;) is mapped to an XML syntax suitable for sending over the XMPP signalling channel.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: This document depends on the IETF's &ice; specification, which is a work in progress. Every effort has been made to keep this document synchronized with <cite>draft-ietf-mmusic-ice</cite>, for which the latest published version is 14 (hereafter referred to as "&icecurr;"). The interested reader is referred to &icecurr; for a detailed description of the ICE methodology, which for the most part this document merely maps to XMPP syntax.</em></p>

<p>If the responder provisionally accepts the session initiation request as shown above, both initiator and responder MUST immediately negotiate connectivity over the ICE transport by exchanging XML-formatted candidate transports for the channel. This negotiation proceeds immediately in order to maximize the possibility that media can be exchanged as quickly as possible. <note>Concurrent with negotiation of the ICE candidates, it is possible for the initiator and responder to negotiate which content types the session will include, which transport methods will be tried for each content type, etc. Those negotiation flows are shown in <cite>XEP-0166</cite>. This document specifies only negotiation of the ICE transport method.</note></p>
<p>The candidate syntax and negotiation flow are described below.</p>
