<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This XEP specifies an instant stream resumption mechanism based
|
||||
on &xep0198;, allowing XMPP entities to instantaneously resume an
|
||||
XMPP stream. This can be seen as the complementary part to &xep0305;
|
||||
allowing for fast XMPP session (re-)establishment.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Compared to the existing stream resumption mechanism of <link
|
||||
url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html#resumption'>XEP-0198 §
|
||||
5</link>, the approach defined herein reduces the round trips
|
||||
required to resume a stream to exactly <em>one</em> (besides the
|
||||
round trips required by the TLS handshake). This is achieved by
|
||||
using only a secure token to resume the stream.</p>

|

|

<p>In order to instantaneously resume an XMPP stream the entity
|
||||
trying to do so must posses a valid ISR token. If it then needs to
|
||||
perform ISR, it first determines the host for resumption, and after
|
||||
that, tries to perform the instant stream resumption.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<section2 topic='Determing the Host for Resumption' anchor='host'>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The lookup mechanism order to determine host candidates for ISR
|
||||
resumption is as follows:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The host specified in the optional 'location' attribute
|
||||
qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace found in the
|
||||
<enabled/> element of XEP-0198.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>The hosts determined by means of &xep0368;.</li>
|
||||
<li>The host announced in the 'location' attribute of the <enabled/> Nonza defined in XEP-0198.</li>
|
||||
<li>Standard host lookup mechanisms.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The host candidates retrieved by those mechanisms SHOULD be
|
||||
tried by the initiating entity in this order.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that the hosts announced by the 'location' attribute
|
||||
qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace MUST be connected to
|
||||
using Transport Layer Security (TLS, see &rfc5246;) from the
|
||||
beginning, i.e. <starttls/> MUST NOT be used, instead the
|
||||
TLS Handshake is performed right after establishing the
|
||||
connection.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The order prefers hosts which allow connections where TLS is
|
||||
enabled from the beginning. This is desirable in order to reduce
|
||||
the required round trips by skipping the <starttls/>
|
||||
step.</p>

|
||||
<section2 topic='Performing Instant Stream Resumption' anchor='resume'>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After the host on which the instant stream resumption should be
|
||||
performed was determined, the entity connects to, and establishes
|
||||
TLS by either</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>establishing a TLS session right away, or</li>
|
||||
<li>performing STARTTLS (&rfc6120; § 5).</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After the connection has been secured, the
|
||||
initiating entity sends an XMPP <stream> open element
|
||||
followed by a <instant-resume/> Nonza qualified by the
|
||||
'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace which MUST contain the ISR token in the
|
||||
'tok' attribute and the sequence number of the last by Stream
|
||||
Management handled stanza in the 'h' attribute.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that the initiating entity SHOULD pipeline the instant
|
||||
stream resumption request together with then initial
|
||||
<stream> open element since it already has determined that
|
||||
the service supports this feature. Servers MUST announce that they
|
||||
support ISR by including an <isr/> element qualified by the
|
||||
'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace in their stream features.</p>

&xep0138;. It does however not include the specific state of the

features: For example in case of stream compression, the

dictionary used by the compression mechanism of the resumed

stream MUST NOT be considered to be restored after instant
