<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>There are times when a client might want or need to discover what its external Internet Protocol (IP) address is, e.g. when gathering transport candidates for &xep0065; or &xep0176;. One way to do so is for the client to ask the XMPP server to which it has connected. This simple specification defines such a method.</p>

<p>First the client sends an IQ-get request to its server.</p>
|
|
<example caption="Client requests its IP address from the server"><![CDATA[

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'

|
|
type='get'>
|
|
<ip xmlns='urn:xmpp:sic:0'/>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>The server then returns an IQ-result containing an <ip/> element whose XML character data specifies the client's IP address according to the server.</p>

|
<example caption="Server returns IP address"><![CDATA[

<ip xmlns='urn:xmpp:sic:0'>192.168.4.1</ip>
|
|
</iq>
|
|

|
|
<p>The IP address could be IPv4 or IPv6.</p>

<p>&rfc3920; specifies that client IP addresses shall not be made public. If a client requests its own IP address, that policy is not violated. However, a server MUST NOT return the IP address of another client (e.g., if a connected client sends a SIC request to the bare JID of another user); instead, it MUST return a &forbidden; error.</p>
