|
|
<p>Jingle Nodes is an XMPP Based Relay Service providing standard UDP/TCP Relay, but negotiated via XMPP. Jingle Relay Nodes are intend to provide easy to use Jingle Relay Type Candidates that can be used in ICE-UDP, RAW-UDP, TCP Jingle Sessions. Relay Candidates can provide NAT Traversal for Jingle users with or without STUN/TURN Support. The main benefits of Jingle Relay Nodes is the easy to use candidates, Jingle Clients can became a Node and Jingle Relay Nodes are published via XMPP, meaning every Client or Server can also act as a tracker of another Nodes and STUN Servers.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic="Requirements" anchor="reqs">
|
|
<p>Jingle Relay Nodes MUST be binded directly to a Public IP address without firewall for traffic on the port range reserved to be used by relay candidates. This is the main and unique requirement for a peer provide Relay Nodes Service.
|
|
All signalling, request, response and publishing is done via XMPP, not requiring any extra stack or protocol in the Client or Server, for usage and discoveral of Nodes.</p>

<dd>Relays are mainly used to transfer traffic to servers located on a NAT:ed (masqueraded) network, where the IP addresses on the NAT:ed network cannot be accessed from the outside. When you use an IP address that is for local use only, you must use NAT and relays because these IP addresses cannot be accessed in any other way. Relays can also be used for non-NAT:ed networks.</dd>

<p>In diagrams, the following conventions are used:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Single-dashed lines (---) represent Jingle stanzas that are sent via the XMPP signalling channel.</li>
|
|
<li>Double-dashed lines (===) represent media packets that are sent via the data channel, which typically is not an XMPP channel (although the <cite>Jingle In-Band Bytestreams Transport Method</cite> is an exception) but instead is a direct or mediated channel between the endpoints.</li>

|
|
<section1 topic="Flow Example" anchor="rules">
|
|
<p>After the Jingle Clients gets succesfully connected to the XMPP Server, it MAY want to start discoverying available Relay Services in order to cache some entries. Having cached Relay Service Addresses is recommended as it speeds up the session setup time as the Client don't need to search for available Relay Services right before a session is started or received.</p>

<section2 topic="Jingle Client Checks for Tracker or Relay Services on its own Server Domain" anchor="clientcheckownserver">
|
|
<p>A Jingle Client MAY start the search for Relay Services by querying his own XMPP Server Domain.</p>

|
|
<p>To advertise its support for the Jingle Nodes support, when replying to &xep0030; information requests an entity MUST return URNs for any version of this protocol that the entity supports -- e.g., "http://jabber.org/protocol/jinglenodes" for this version&VNOTE;.</p>
|
|
<p>If the entity supports, Jingle Nodes as a Tracker, it MUST reply to &xep0030; with "http://jabber.org/protocol/jinglenodes". If it also provides the Jingle Nodes Relay Services, it MUST reply with the URN "http://jabber.org/protocol/jinglenodes#channel".</p>
|
|
<p>For optimization purpose the Client SHOULD check for Jingle Nodes support based on entity presence capabilities &xep0115;, which SHOULD contain the keywork "jn-v0".</p>

|
|
<p>A Jingle Client with only RAW-UDP support and any NAT detection mechanism can make use of Jingle Nodes. Although the traversal is not guarantee due problem with NAT configuration or firewalls, this method is fairly efficient as most SIP legacy services still provides their services in a similar way, meaning that this has the exactly same accertivity and reliability than regular SIP Services. This method is extremelly useful specially for simple platforms like mobile and clients in early stage of development that still wants to offer voice and video support.</p>

<p>A Jingle Client with STUN and TURN support still might need a Relay Candidate, specially as TURN servers are not widely deployed and don't have any mechanism to publish available services for users. TURN servers also requires specific UDP traffic in specific port ranges which can be blocked by users networks. In this case is very useful to have an extra fallback candidate that can be negotiated via XMPP rather than over UDP.</p>

<p>

|
<em>Note: Jingle Relay Nodes Services are much more likely to be found and be available than TURN servers, as users can also provide Jingle Relay Nodes services themselves or provide a list of known and available services, in this last case behaving a tracker. Is very likely that Jingle Relay Nodes will be available and discovered more easily and often than TURN servers.</em>

<p>A XMPP Client or Component with direct access to a public IP can potentially provide the UDP Relay Service becaming itself a Jingle Relay Node. The service can intend to provide a public service, or a restricted services based on user preferences, like buddylist, whitelist, blacklist, domain, etc...</p>

<em>Note: It is NOT mandatory to became a Jingle Relay Node. This is OPTIONAL and SHOULD be done with user awareness and concentiment.</em>

|
|
<p>When using a candidate provided by a Jingle Relay Service, the Jingle Client MUST set the candidate attribute to 'relay'. In order to make sure the other client won't allocate another channel as well. Which would lead in audio connectivity issues. In brief, if the caller is using a Relay Candidate the calle MUST NOT use another Relay Candidate discovered by itself. If a caller is not using a Relay Candidate(which can be determined by the candidate 'type' attribute) the callee MAY use a Relay Candidate in order to ensure communication.</p>

|
<p>Relay Channels auto expires MUST expire on traffic inactivity. The inactivity timeout recommended is 60 seconds.</p>
|
|
<p>It is heavily recommended that the Super Node implements throttle:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>Based on JID, allowing the control of how many concurrent channels an specific JID can have.</li>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>Based on JID, allowing the control of how many channel requests an specific JID can request in a time period.</li>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>Based on Bandwidth, allowing the control of how much bandwidth a channel can use. The maximum bandwidth SHOULD be included on the candidate element provided by a Super Node on the attribute maxkbps. If no attribute is present, it means that it has no bandwidth control.</li>
