<section2 topic="MIX and PubSub" anchor="concepts-pubsub">
|

<p>MIX is based upon domains providing a MIX service, such as `mix.shakespeare.example`. Note that although PubSub communication is used, a domain used for MIX is a MIX domain and not a standard &xep0060; domain. Like MUC, there is no requirement on the naming of these domains; the label 'mix' and the fact that it is a subdomain of a 'shakespeare.example' service are purely for example.</p>
|
||||
<p>Every MIX channel is an addressable PubSub service (with additional MIX semantics) that will be addressed by an XMPP client using a bare JID, for example coven@mix.shakespeare.example. While &xep0060; is used as the basis for the MIX model, MIX uses standard presence and groupchat messages to provide an interface to the MIX service that does not expose PubSub for many of the more common functions.

<p>Message Archive Management is used for all storage of historical data (such as the history of messages sent within the channel).

<p> Historical data (such as the messages sent to the channel) is stored in an archive supporting Message Archive Management (MAM) so that clients can subsequently access this data with MAM.

<section2 topic="Delivering Messages to Users" anchor="concepts-delivery">
|

<p>
|

The primary model is that a user will join a channel over an extended period, and that the user (not a specific client used by the user) joins the channel. The primary subscription is with the client's bare JID. The user will receive messages from the channel and/or access channel presence from time to time with one or more clients.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Where a user has no clients active, the approach expected by MIX is that messages will be archived using MAM and that when clients come online they will use MAM to access messages that have not been delivered to the client. Following the rules of &rfc6121;, arriving MIX messages (which will be of type=groupchat) will be discarded if all clients are offline. Offline messages are not used with MIX.

<section2 topic="User Presence in MIX" anchor="concepts-presence">
|

<p>
|
||||
MIX channels store presence in the presence node using the proxy JID of each online client for a user. User presence may be included for all or selected clients of a given user, based on client choice to publish presence. Where a user publishes presence for multiple clients, this information is available to all users subscribing to the channel presence. Queries such as disco requests will be directed to a specific client, routing through the MIX channel, while private messaging will be addressed to the user's bare proxy JID, and routed by the MIX to the user's bare real JID, where standard distribution rules will apply.

<p>
|

External XMPP entities can direct stanzas to clients publishing their presence by sending them to the appropriate full proxy JID in the presence node. These stanzas MAY be routed to the client by the MIX channel. The choice to do this is dependent on MIX channel policy. For example, a disco request MAY be routed through the MIX channel to the client.

Presence updates are distributed by a channel to the bare JID of subscribers and then the subscriber's server will distribute to each of the subscriber's currently online clients.

MIX channels have two modes controlling JID visibility:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>'JID Visible': In these channels, some or all participant JIDs are visible to all channel members.</li>

|

<p>

A channel member may specify their preferences for JID visibility, with one of the following values:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>'No JID Visibility Preference': The users JID will be visible in JID Visible channels and hidden in JID Hidden channels.</li>

<li>'Prefer Hidden': The user's JID will be hidden in JID Visible channels if the channel policy allows this.</li>

<li>'Enforce Hidden': The user's JID will never be shown and the user will be removed from channel if channel administrator enforces visibility.</li>

The primary representation of a participant in a MIX channel is a proxy JID, which is an anonymized JID using the same domain as the channel and with the name of the channel encoded, using the format "<channel>+<generated identifier>@<mix domain>". For example in the channel 'coven@mix.shakespeare.example', the user 'hag66@shakespeare.example' might have a proxy JID of 'coven+123456@mix.shakespeare.example'. The reason for the proxy JID is to support JID Hidden channels. Proxy JIDs are also used in JID Visible channels, for consistency and to enable switching of JID visibility. The "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node maps from proxy JID to real JID.

The primary representation of a participant in a MIX channel is a proxy JID, which is an anonymized JID using the same domain as the channel and with the name of the channel encoded, using the format "<channel>+<generated identifier>@<mix domain>". They generated identifier MUST NOT contain the '+' characters. The Channel name MAY contain the '+' character.

The full JIDs held in presence are anonymized using a similar mechanism. First the bare JID is mapped to a bare proxy JID, using the mapping held in the "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node for the bare JID. Then the resource is replaced with a generated value. For example, 'hag66@shakespeare.example' in the channel coven might have a proxy JID of 'coven+123456@mix.shakespeare.example/789'. There is no client visible mapping of proxy full JIDs maintained as this is not needed. The MIX channel will need to maintain a mapping, to support directly addressing clients, such as for client to client disco#info queries.

jidmap is the only node that will always be present for a MIX channel and all other nodes are optional. All channels will have either a message node, a presence node or both, because a channel will always share messages and/or presence. MIX provides mechanisms to allow users to conveniently subscribe to a chosen set of nodes and to unsubscribe to all nodes with a single operation.
