<p>The process for ICE negotiation is largely the same in Jingle as it is in <cite>draft-ietf-mmusic-ice</cite>. 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 draft-ietf-mmusic-ice); 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 Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) specification, which is a work in progress. Every effort has been made to keep this document synchronized with draft-ietf-mmusic-ice, for which the latest published version is 11 (hereafter referred to as "&ice11;"). The interested reader is referred to the &ice11; for a detailed description of the ICE methodology, which for the most part this document merely maps to XMPP syntax.</em></p>
<p><em>Note: This document still needs to be updated to track the changes between ICE-10 and ICE-11. That work will be completed as soon as possible.</em></p>

<section3 topic='Negotiation Flow' anchor='protocol-negotiate-flow'>
<p>The first step in negotiating connectivity is for each client to immediately begin sending candidate transport methods to the other client. These candidates SHOULD be gathered by following the procedure specified in Section 4.1 of &ice11; and prioritized by following the procedure specified in Section 4.2 of &ice11;. Each candidate MUST be sent in a &JINGLE; element with an action of "transport-info".</p>
<p>The first step in negotiating connectivity is for each client to immediately begin sending candidate transport methods to the other client. These candidates SHOULD be gathered by following the procedure specified in Section 5.1 of &icecur; and prioritized by following the procedure specified in Section 5.2 of &icecur;. Each candidate MUST be sent in a &JINGLE; element with an action of "transport-info".</p>
<p>If the responder receives and can successfully process a given candidate, it returns an IQ-result (if not, for example because the candidate data is improperly formatted, it returns an error).</p>
<p>Note well that the responder is only indicating receipt of the candidate, not telling the initiator that the candidate will be used.</p>
<p>The initiator keeps sending candidates, one after the other (without stopping to receive an acknowledgement of receipt from the responder for each candidate) until it has exhausted its supply of possible or desirable candidate transports. (Because certain candidates may be more "expensive" in terms of bandwidth or processing power, the initiator may not want to advertise their existence unless necessary.) For each candidate, the responder acknowledges receipt.</p>
<p>At the same time (i.e., immediately after provisionally accepting the session, not waiting for the initiator to begin or finish sending candidates), the responder also begins sending candidates that may work for it. As above, the initiator acknowledges receipt of the candidates.</p>
<p>As the initiator and responder receive candidates, they probe the various candidate transports for connectivity. In performing these connectivity checks, client SHOULD follow the procedure specified in Section 7 of &ice11;.</p>

</section2>
<section2 topic='Termination' anchor='protocol-terminate'>
<p>In order to gracefully end the session, either the responder or the initiator MUST a send a "terminate" action to the other party:</p>

<iq type='result' to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' id='term1'/>
]]></example>
<p>Unfortunately, not all sessions end gracefully. The following events MUST be considered session-ending events, and any further communication for the session type MUST be completed through negotiation of a new session:</p>
<ul>
<li>Receipt of a 'redirect' or 'terminate' action from the other party.</li>
<li>Receipt of &UNAVAILABLE; from the other party.</li>
</ul>
<p>In particular, one party MUST consider the session to be in the ENDED state if it receives presence of type "unavailable" from the other party:</p>
<example caption="Juliet Goes Offline"><![CDATA[
<presence from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' to='romeo@montague.net/orchard' type='unavailable'/>
]]></example>
<p>Naturally, in this case there is nothing for the initiator to acknowledge.</p>
<p>If the responder cannot find a suitable candidate transport or it receives a &notacceptable; error from the initiator in response to its acceptance of a suitable transport, it SHOULD terminate the session as described in Section 5.9 of <cite>XEP-0166</cite>.</p>

<p>If an entity supports this specification, it MUST return a feature of "http://jabber.org/protocol/jingle/transport/ice" in response to &xep0030; information requests.</p>

<p>As mentioned in the <link url='#deploy'>Deployment Notes</link> of this document, the administrator of an XMPP server may wish to deploy a STUN server in order to ease the process of negotiating use of the Jingle ICE transport. A client can become aware of a STUN server in the following ways:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li>Specified in the default settings for the client (while this may seem sub-optimal, it is acceptable at present because there are so few public STUN servers).</li>
<li>Manually added by a human user into the client's configuration.</li>
<li>Discovered via DNS SRV records as specified in Section 9.1 of &rfc3489;.</li>
<li>Discovered via the XMPP &xep0030; extension.</li>
</ol>
<p>It is OPTIONAL for a STUN server to support XMPP for the purpose of service discovery. Therefore, client developers SHOULD NOT depend on the existence of XMPP-aware STUN servers.</p>
