<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>The Mediated Information eXchange (MIX) protocol framework and core capabilities are specified in &xep0369; (MIX-CORE).
MIX can be used independently of &xep0045; (MUC).
</p>
<p>
It may be desirable to operate a service that provides MIX and MUC together. This specification specifies three options for achieving this.
</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic="Supporting MIX and MUC together" anchor="mix-and-muc-together">
<p>
If both MIX and MUC are implemented, three approaches are noted.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Entirely separate MIX and MUC implementation, with MIX and MUC using separate domains and MIX channels being completely separate from MUC rooms.</li>
<li>Fully integrated MIX and MUC implementation, with MIX and MUC sharing a single domain and rooms/channels equivalent.</li>
<li>Partially integrated MIX and MUC implementation, with MIX and MUC using separate domains, but all rooms/channel are common. This means that each MIX channel will have MUC room of the same name and same participants. </li>
</ol>
<p>The fully integrated approach would be transparent to clients. The following example shows how a service that supports MIX and MUC in a fully integrated manner would respond following the specification of &xep0369;:</p>
<example caption="Client uses Disco to show fully integrated MIX and MUC support" ><![CDATA[
<iq from='hag66@shakespeare.example/UUID-c8y/1573'
id='lx09df27'
to='mix.shakespeare.example'
type='get'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'>
</iq>
<iq from='mix.shakespeare.example'
id='lx09df27'

type='result'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'>
<identity
category='conference'
name='Shakespearean Chat Service'
type='text'/>
<feature var='urn:xmpp:mix:core:0'/>
<feature var='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
<feature var='urn:xmpp:mix:core:0#searchable'>
</query>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>In the fully integrated service item discovery on the MIX/MUC service determines a list of channels. The protocol used for this is the same in MUC and MIX. Discovery actions on a channel in MIX MUST use 'node=mix' attribute in the discovery which will lead to the return of MIX channel specific information, as mandated for this discovery in &xep0369;. If is not set, MUC room specific information is returned.
</p>
<p>For the partially integrated service, MIX servers will reference the associated MUC server and MUC servers will reference the associated MIX service. This will allow a client that only support MUC or only supports MIX to find the right server if it is given a reference to the other one. For a client that supports both MUC and MIX, it will enable the client to select its preferred service.
For a MIX client, it will also be useful to know the MUC service, so that this information can be shared with a MUC client invitation.
The following example shows how a MIX server identifies the associated MUC server. Note that MUC MUST NOT be advertized as a feature:

<p>The result is returned in an extended disco results in a form whose type value is 'urn:xmpp:mix:muc:0#muc-mirror'. The field with var='muc-mirror' is the value of which is the mirrored MUC domain's JID. </p>
<p>Similarly, a MUC service can advertise an associated MIX doming. The following example shows discovery of a MUC domain. Note that MIX MUST NOT be advertized as a feature</p>

<section2 topic="Choosing Which Invite to Send" anchor="mix-muc-invite-choice">
<p>
Where a client supports MUC and MIX and has determined that for a channel that the server also supports a MUC room, the client has a choice as to which type of invite to send. This SHOULD be done by determining if the client support MIX using the mechanism specified in
&xep0369;. If the client supports MIX a MIX invite SHOULD be sent.
