<p>&xep0166; defines a framework for negotiating and managing data sessions over XMPP. In order to provide a flexible framework, the base Jingle specification defines neither data transport methods nor application formats, leaving that up to separate specifications. The current document defines a transport method for establishing and managing data exchanges between XMPP entities using the existing In-Band Bytestreams (IBB) protocol specified in &xep0047;. This "jingle-ibb" method results in a streaming transport method suitable for use in Jingle application types where packet loss cannot be tolerated (e.g., file transfer); however, because the "jingle-ibb" transport method sends data over the XMPP channel itself (albeit not the Jingle signalling channel), it is intended as a transport of last resort when other streaming transports cannot be negotiated.</p> <p>&xep0166; defines a framework for negotiating and managing data sessions over XMPP.

<section2 topic='Managing Multiple IBB Sessions' anchor='protocol-multi'>
<p>As IBB is defined in <cite>XEP-0047</cite>, there is one session per bytestream (which can be used in both directions). However, because Jingle-IBB provides a management layer on top of IBB, it can be used to run multiple IBB sessions over a single bytestream. This can be done by sending a transport-info message that authorizes an additional session, as shown in the following example (although this example shows the initiator adding a session, the responder could just as well do so).</p>
