<p>This document describes In-Band Bytestreams (IBB), an XMPP protocol extension that enables two entities to establish a virtual bytestream over which they can exchange Base64-encoded chunks of data over XMPP itself. Because IBB provides a generic bytestream, its usage is open-ended. To date it has been used as a fallback method for sending files when out-of-band methods such as &xep0065; are not available. However, IBB could also be useful for any kind of relatively low-bandwidth activity, such as games, shell sessions, or encrypted text.</p>

<p>The receiving party then acknowledges that the bytestream has been closed by returning an IQ-result (however, the receiving party might wait until it has had a chance to send any remaining data in the other direction, if the bytestream is bidirectional; in this case, the party that sent the original &lt;close/&gt; element SHOULD wait to receive the IQ response from the receiving party before considering the bytestream to be closed).</p>
