<abstract>This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for initiating and managing peer-to-peer media sessions between two XMPP entities in a way that is interoperable with existing Internet standards. The protocol provides a pluggable model that enables the core session management semantics (compatible with SIP) to be used for a wide variety of application types (e.g., voice chat, video chat, file transfer) and with a wide variety of transport methods (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICE, application-specific transports).</abstract>

<li>Defined a new Jingle action of security-info.</li>
|
|
<li>Incremented the namespace to urn:xmpp:jingle:1 in order to reflect the addition of security preconditions and the security-info action.</li>

<ul>
|
|
<li>Changed "reliable" vs. "lossy" to "streaming" vs. "datagram", since reliability or dependability is orthogonal to the streaming nature of the transport.</li>
|
|
<li>Deleted the "content-remove" action.</li>
|
|
<li>Added "transport-replace" action (answered by "transport-accept").</li>
|
|
<li>Removed <condition/> element as container for Jingle condition elements inside <reason/>, since it introduced an unnecessary layer of indirection.</li>
|
|
<li>Modified state machine to allow content removal during PENDING state.</li>
|
|
<li>Noted that a session can have more than one content instance of the same type.</li>
|
|
<li>Noted that the 'name' attribute is unique to a creator.</li>
|
|
<li>Changed examples to once again use voice chat instead of file transfer.</li>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>The purpose of Jingle is to enable one-to-one, peer-to-peer media sessions between XMPP entities, where the negotiation occurs over the XMPP signalling channel and the media is exchanged over a data channel that is usually a dedicated non-XMPP transport. Jingle is designed in a modular way:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>Developers can easily plug in support for a wide variety of application types, such as voice and video chat (see &xep0167;), file transfer (see &xep0234;), application sharing, collaborative editing, whiteboarding, and secure transmission of end-to-end XML streams (see &xep0247;).</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>The transport methods are also pluggable, so that Jingle implementations can use any appropriate datagram transport such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP; &rfc0768;) as negotiated via &xep0177; or &xep0176;, or any appropriate streaming transport such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP; &rfc0793;), &xep0065; as negotiated via &xep0260;, and &xep0047; as negotiated via &xep0261;.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>This modular approach also extends to the security preconditions that need to be met before application data can be exchanged over a given transport, such as negotiation of Transport Layer Security (TLS; &rfc5246;) for streaming transports and negotiation of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS; &rfc4347;) for datagram transports.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>

|
<p>It is expected that most application types, transport methods, and security preconditions will be documented in specifications produced by the &XSF; or the &IETF;; however, developers can also define proprietary methods for custom functionality.</p>
|
|
<p>Although Jingle provides a general framework for session management, the original target application for Jingle was simple voice and video chat. We stress the word "simple". The purpose of Jingle was not to build a full-fledged telephony application that supports call waiting, call forwarding, call transfer, hold music, IVR systems, find-me-follow-me functionality, conference calls, and the like. These features are of interest to some user populations, but adding support for them to the core Jingle layer would introduce unnecessary complexity into a technology that is designed for simple but generalized session negotiation.</p>
|
|
<p>Furthermore, Jingle is not intended to supplant or replace existing Internet technologies based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP; &rfc3261;). Because dual-stack XMPP+SIP clients are difficult to build, Jingle was designed as a pure XMPP signalling protocol. However, Jingle is at the same time designed to interwork with SIP so that the millions of deployed XMPP clients can be added onto existing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks, rather than limiting XMPP users to a separate and distinct network.</p>

<section1 topic='How It Works' anchor='howitworks'>
|
|
<p>This section provides a friendly introduction to Jingle.</p>
|
|
<p>In essence, Jingle enables two XMPP entities (e.g., romeo@montague.lit and juliet@capulet.lit) to set up, manage, and tear down a multimedia session. The negotiation takes place over XMPP, and the media transfer typically takes place outside of XMPP. A simplified session flow would be as follows: <note>Naturally, more complex scenarios are possible; such scenarios are described in other specifications, such as <cite>Jingle RTP Sessions</cite> for voice and video chat.</note></p>

<p>In this example, the initiator (romeo@montague.lit/orchard) sends a session initiation offer to the responder (juliet@capulet.lit/balcony), where the session is defined as the exchange of "stub" media over a "stub" transport.</p>
|
|
<p>After the responding client acknowledges receipt of the session-initiate message (not shown here), it prompts the responding user (if any) to choose whether she wants to proceed with the session (however, it does not need to prompt the user if for example she has configured her client to automatically accept session requests from this particular initiator). If she wants to proceed she selects the appropriate interface element and her client sends a session-accept message to the initiator.</p>

<p>The protocol defined herein is designed to meet the following requirements:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Make it possible to manage a wide variety of peer-to-peer sessions (including but not limited to voice and video) within XMPP.</li>
|
|
<li>When a peer-to-peer connection cannot be negotiated, make it possible to fall back to relayed communications.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the signalling channel (XMPP) from the data channel.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the application format (e.g., RTP audio) from the transport method (e.g., UDP).</li>
|
|
<li>Make it possible to add, modify, and remove both application types and transport methods in an existing session.</li>
|
|
<li>Make it relatively easy to implement support for the protocol in standard Jabber/XMPP clients.</li>
|
|
<li>Where communication with non-XMPP entities is needed, push as much complexity as possible onto server-side gateways between the XMPP network and the non-XMPP network.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This document defines the signalling protocol only. Additional documents specify the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>Various application formats (audio, video, etc.) and, where possible, mapping of those types to the Session Description Protocol (SDP; see &rfc4566;); examples include <cite>Jingle RTP Sessions</cite> and <cite>Jingle File Transfer</cite>.</p></li>

<li><p>Various transport methods; examples include <cite>Jingle ICE-UDP Transport Method</cite>, <cite>Jingle Raw UDP Transport Method</cite>, <cite>Jingle In-Band Bytestreams Transport Method</cite>, and <cite>Jingle SOCKS5 Bytestreams Transport Method</cite>.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Various methods of securing the transport before using it to send application data; the only method defined so far is Transport Layer Security as described in &xtls;.</p></li>

<p>Jingle consists of three parts, each with its own syntax and semantics:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Overall session management</li>
|
|
<li>Application types (the "what")</li>
|
|
<li>Transport methods (the "how")</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This document defines the semantics and syntax for overall session management. It also provides pluggable "slots" for application formats and transport methods, which are specified in separate documents.</p>
|
|
<p>At the most basic level, the process for initial negotiation of a Jingle session is as follows:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>One user (the "initiator") sends to another user (the "responder") a session-initiate message containing at least one content definition, each of which defines one application type, one transport method, and optionally one security precondition.</li>
|
|
<li>If the responder wishes to proceed, it sends a session-accept message to the initiator, optionally including one or more transport candidates (depending on the transport method specified in the session-initiate message).</li>
|
|
<li>The parties attempt to establish connectivity over the offered transport method as defined in the relevant specification, which might involve the exchange of transport-info messages for additional transport candidates; if connectivity cannot be established then the parties might attempt to fall back to another transport method using the transport-replace and transport-accept messages.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, the parties attempt to establish security for the transport method before using it to exchange application data.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, either party can add or remove content definitions, or change the direction of the media flow, using the content-add, content-remove, and content-modify messages.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, either party can send session-info messages (e.g., to inform the other party that its device is ringing).</li>
|
|
<li>As soon as the initiator and responder determine that data can flow over the negotiated transport (potentially only after a security precondition has been met), they start sending application data over the transport.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Even after application data is being exchanged, the parties can adjust the session definition by sending additional Jingle messages, such as content-modify, content-remove, content-add, description-info, security-info, session-info, and transport-replace.</p>
|
|

<li>ACTIVE</li>

<li>ENDED</li>

|
<p>Note: While it is allowed to send all actions while in the PENDING state, typically the responder will send a session-accept message as quickly as possible in order to expedite the transport negotiation; see the <link url='#sec'>Security Considerations</link> section of this document regarding information exposure when the responder sends transport candidates to the initiator.</p>

<p>This section defines the high-level flow of a Jingle session. More detailed descriptions are provided in the specifications for Jingle application formats and transport methods.</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='Resource Determination' anchor='session-resource'>
|
|
<p>In order to initiate a Jingle session, the initiator needs to determine which of the responder's XMPP resources is best for the desired application format. Methods for doing so are out of scope for this specification. However, see the <link url='#support'>Determining Support</link> section of this document for relevant information.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Initiation' anchor='protocol-initiate'>
|
|
<p>Once the initiator has discovered which of the responder's XMPP resources is ideal for the desired application format, it sends a session initiation request to the responder. This request is an IQ-set containing a &JINGLE; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:1' namespace &VNOTE;, where the value of the 'action' attribute is "session-initiate" and where the &JINGLE; element contains one or more &CONTENT; elements. Each &CONTENT; element defines a content type to be transferred during the session, and each &CONTENT; element in turn contains one &DESCRIPTION; child element that specifies a desired application format and one &TRANSPORT; child element that specifies a potential transport method, as well as (optionally) one <security/> element that specifies a security precondition that needs to be met before the parties can exchange application data over the negotiated transport.</p>

<p>Application types ought not to be mixed beyond necessity within a single session. Therefore the session initiation request (along with subsequent additions) will include only content-types that can be grouped together into a coherent session within a given Jingle application. For example, two parties might start an audio call but then add a video aspect to that call. If one of the parties decides to send a file to the other party as a result of discussion over the audio/video session or a text chat conversation, conceptually that is probably a separate session (unless file exchange or screen sharing or some other application type is an integral part of a broader collaboration experience and needs to be calibrated with the audio/video session).</p>

<p>However, after acknowledging the session initiation request, the responder might subsequently determine that it cannot proceed with negotiation of the session (e.g., because it does not support any of the offered application formats or transport methods, because a human user is busy or unable to accept the session, because a human user wishes to formally decline the session, etc.). In these cases, the responder SHOULD immediately acknowledge the session initiation request but then terminate the session with an appropriate reason as described in the <link url='#session-terminate'>Termination</link> section of this document.</p>

<section3 topic='Errors' anchor='protocol-response-errors'>
|
|
<p>There are several reasons why the responder might immediately return an error instead of acknowledging receipt of the initiation request:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The initiator is unknown to the responder and the responder does not communicate with unknown entities.</li>
|
|
<li>The responder does not support Jingle.</li>
|
|
<li>The responder wishes to redirect the request to another address.</li>
|
|
<li>The responder does not have sufficient resources to participate in a session.</li>
|
|
<li>The initiation request was malformed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If the initiator is unknown to the responder (e.g., via presence subscription as defined in &rfc3921;) and the responder has a policy of not communicating via Jingle with unknown entities, it MUST return a &unavailable; error.</p>

|
|
<p>Although in general it is preferable for the responder to send a session-accept message as soon as possible, some forms of negotiation might be necessary before the parties can agree on an acceptable set of application formats and transport methods. There are many potential parameter combinations, as defined in the relevant specifications for various application formats and transport methods.</p>
|
|
<p>The allowable negotiations (e.g., content-level and transport-level negotiations) include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Exchanging particular transport candidates via the transport-info action.</li>
|
|
<li>Modifying the communication direction for a content type via the content-modify action.</li>
|
|
<li>Changing the definition of a content type via the transport-replace action (typically to fall back to a more suitable transport).</li>
|
|
<li>Adding a content type via the content-add action.</li>
|
|
<li>Removing a content type via the content-remove action.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These forms of negotiation can also occur after the session has been accepted.</p>

<section2 topic='Acceptance' anchor='session-acceptance'>

<p class='box'>Note: After receiving and acknowledging the "session-initiate" action received from the initiator, the responding client SHOULD present an interface element that enables a human user to explicitly agree to proceeding with the session (e.g., an "Accept Incoming Call?" pop-up window including "Yes" and "No" buttons). However, the responding client SHOULD NOT return a "session-accept" action to the initiator until the responder has explicitly agreed to proceed with the session (unless the initiator is on a list of entities whose sessions are automatically accepted).</p>

<section2 topic='Modifying an Active Session' anchor='session-modify'>

<section2 topic='Termination' anchor='session-terminate'>
|
|
<p>In order to gracefully end the session (which can be done at any point after acknowledging receipt of the initiation request, including immediately thereafter in order to decline the request), either the responder or the initiator MUST send a session-terminate message to the other party.</p>
|
|
<p>The party that terminates the session SHOULD include a <reason/> element that specifies why the session is being terminated. Examples follow.</p>
|
|
<p>Probably the primary reason for terminating a session is that the session has ended successfully (e.g., because a file has been sent or a voice call has completed); in this case, the recommended condition is <success/>.</p>

|
|
<p>Not all Jingle sessions end gracefully. When the parties to a Jingle session also exchange XMPP presence information, receipt of &UNAVAILABLE; from the other party SHOULD be considered a session-ending event that justifies proactively sending a session-terminate message to the seemingly unavailable party -- if, that is, no other communication has been received within 5 or 10 seconds from the seemingly unavailable party in the form of XMPP signalling traffic, connectivity checks, or continued media transfer.</p>

This usage shall be defined in other specifications, for example, in &xep0251;. However, in all cases if the 'initiator' and 'from' values differ then the responder MUST NOT interact with the 'initiator' JID unless it trusts the 'initiator' JID or trusts that the 'from' JID is allowed to authorize the 'initiator' JID to act on the 'from' JID's behalf. In the absence of explicit rules for handling this case, the responder SHOULD simply ignore the 'initiator' attribute and treat the 'from' JID as the initiating entity.

</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='content-add' anchor='def-action-content-add'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-add</strong> action is used to add one or more new content definitions to the session. The sender MUST specify only the added content definition(s), not the added content definition(s) plus the existing content definition(s). Therefore it is the responsibility of the recipient to maintain a local copy of the current content definition(s). If the recipient wishes to include the new content definition in the session, it MUST send a content-accept action to the other party; if not, it MUST send a content-reject action to the other party.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='content-modify' anchor='def-action-content-modify'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-modify</strong> action is used to change the direction of an existing content definition through modification of the 'senders' attribute. If the recipient deems the directionality of a content-modify action to be unacceptable, it MAY reply with a contrary content-modify action, terminate the session, or simply refuse to send or accept application data in the new direction. In any case, the recipient MUST NOT send a content-accept action in response to the content-modify.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='content-reject' anchor='def-action-content-reject'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-reject</strong> action is used to reject a content-add action received from another party.</p>
|
|
<p>If the content-reject results in zero content definitions for the session, the entity that receives the content-reject SHOULD send a session-terminate action to the other party (since a session with no content definitions is void).</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='content-remove' anchor='def-action-content-remove'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-remove</strong> action is used to remove one or more content definitions from the session. The sender MUST specify only the removed content definition(s), not the removed content definition(s) plus the remaining content definition(s). Therefore it is the responsibility of the recipient to maintain a local copy of the current content definition(s). Upon receiving a content-remove from the other party, the recipient MUST NOT send a content-accept and MUST NOT continue to negotiate the transport method or send application data related to that content definition.</p>
|
|
<p>If the content-remove results in zero content definitions for the session, the entity that receives the content-remove SHOULD send a session-terminate action to the other party (since a session with no content definitions is void).</p>

|
<section3 topic='session-accept' anchor='def-action-session-accept'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>session-accept</strong> action is used to definitively accept a session negotiation (implicitly this action also serves as a content-accept). A session-accept action indicates a willingness to proceed with the session (which might necessitate further negotiation before media can be exchanged). The session-accept action indicates acceptance <em>only</em> of the content definition(s) whose disposition type is "session" (the default value of the &CONTENT; element's 'disposition' attribute), not any content definition(s) whose disposition type is something other than "session" (e.g., "early-session" for early media).</p>
|
|
<p>In the session-accept stanza, the &JINGLE; element MUST contain one or more <content/> elements, each of which MUST contain one <description/> element and one <transport/> element.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='session-info' anchor='def-action-session-info'>
|

<p>The <strong>session-info</strong> action is used to send session-level information, such as a session ping or (for Jingle RTP sessions) a ringing message.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='session-initiate' anchor='def-action-session-initiate'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>session-initiate</strong> action is used to request negotiation of a new Jingle session. When sending a session-initiate with one &CONTENT; element, the value of the &CONTENT; element's 'disposition' attribute MUST be "session" (if there are multiple &CONTENT; elements then at least one MUST have a disposition of "session"); if this rule is violated, the responder MUST return a &badrequest; error to the initiator.</p>

<p>The <strong>transport-accept</strong> action is used to accept a transport-replace action received from another party.</p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='transport-info' anchor='def-action-transport-info'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>transport-info</strong> action is used to exchange transport candidates; it is mainly used in <cite>Jingle ICE-UDP</cite> but might be used in other transport specifications.</p>
|

</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='transport-replace' anchor='def-action-transport-replace'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>transport-replace</strong> action is used to redefine a transport method, typically for fallback to a different method (e.g., changing from ICE-UDP to Raw UDP for a datagram transport, or changing from &xep0065; to &xep0047; for a streaming transport). If the recipient wishes to use the new transport definition, it MUST send a transport-accept action to the other party; if not, it MUST send a transport-reject action to the other party.</p>

<section3 topic='Tie Breaking Related to Jingle Actions' anchor='def-action-ties'>
|
|
<p>It is possible that the same Jingle action can be sent at the same time by both parties. There are two possible scenarios:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<di>
|
|
<dt>No existing session</dt>
|
|
<dd>If there is no existing session and both parties simultaneously send a Jingle session-initiate message with a content-type that is functionally equivalent (e.g., each message requests initiation of a voice call), the action with the lower of the two session IDs MUST overrule the other action, where by "lower" is meant the session ID that is sorted first using "i;octet" collation as specified in Section 9.3 of &rfc4790; (in the unlikely event that the random session IDs are the same, the action sent by the lower of the JabberIDs MUST overrule the other action). The party that receives the session-initiate action with the lower of the two session IDs MUST acknowledge the action or return an error condition that would normally be returned when receiving a session-initiate message, and the party that receives the session-initiate action with the higher of the two session IDs MUST return a &conflict; error to the other party, which SHOULD include a Jingle-specific condition of <tie-break/>.</dd>
|
|
</di>
|
|
<di>
|
|
<dt>Existing session</dt>
|
|
<dd>In the context of an existing session, the action sent by the initiator MUST overrule the action sent by the responder; i.e., both parties MUST accept the action sent by the initiator and the initiator MUST return a &conflict; error to the responder for the duplicate action, which SHOULD include a Jingle-specific condition of <tie-break/>.</dd>

<p>Currently the only security precondition that is envisioned will enforce the use of end-to-end encryption for the transport before application data can be exchanged. This document does not define any security preconditions, just as it does not define any application types or transport methods. See &xtls; for an in-progress description of a security precondition using Transport Layer Security (TLS).</p>
|
|
<p>In order to exchange information about the establishment or maintenance of a security precondition, either party might send a Jingle security-info message. For example, when attempting to negotiate the use of TLS the initiator might send hints about his supported TLS methods (e.g., X.509 certificates and Secure Remote Password) in his session-initiate message and the responder might also send hints about her supported methods (e.g., X.509 and SRP) in her session-accept message; however, it is possible that the initiator might be able to verify the responder's certificate and therefore needs to inform the responder (via a security-info message) that he can in the end support only the X.509 method for this negotiation. An example follows.</p>

<p>If an entity supports Jingle, it MUST advertise that fact by returning a feature of "urn:xmpp:jingle:1" &VNOTE; in response to a &xep0030; information request. The response MUST also include features for the application formats and transport methods supported by the responding entity, as described in the relevant specifications.</p>

<p>It is strongly recommended to protect the transport method using an appropriate security precondition (e.g., Transport Layer Security). However, methods for doing so are out of scope for this specification.</p>
|

</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Denial of Service' anchor='security-dos'>
|
|
<p>Jingle sessions can be resource-intensive. Therefore, it is possible to launch a denial-of-service attack against an entity by burdening it with too many Jingle sessions. Care MUST be taken to accept sessions only from known entities and only if the entity's device is able to process such sessions.</p>

<section2 topic='Communication Through Gateways' anchor='security-gateways'>
|
|
<p>Jingle communications can be enabled through gateways to non-XMPP networks, whose security characteristics can be quite different from those of XMPP networks. (For example, on some SIP networks authentication is optional and "from" addresses can be easily forged.) Care MUST be taken in communicating through such gateways.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Information Exposure' anchor='security-info'>
|
|
<p>Mere negotiation of a Jingle session can expose sensitive information about the parties (e.g., IP addresses, or even the full JID of the responder). Care MUST be taken in communicating such information, and end-to-end encryption SHOULD be used if the parties do not trust the intermediate servers or gateways.</p>
|

</section2>
|

<section2 topic='Redirection' anchor='security-redirect'>

|
<p>The 'initiator' and 'responder' attributes can be used to redirect a session from one JID to anther JID (i.e., the 'initiator' or 'responder' attribute might not match the 'from' or 'to' attribute of the sender). An application SHOULD NOT accept the redirection unless the bare JIDs match (i.e., the session is being redirected from one authorized resource to another authorized resource associated with the same account).</p>

<section1 topic='History' anchor='history'>
|
|
<p>Until Jingle was developed, there existed no widely-adopted standard for initiating and managing peer-to-peer interactions between XMPP entities. Although several large service providers and Jabber client teams had written and implemented their own proprietary XMPP extensions for peer-to-peer signalling (usually only for voice), those technologies were not open and did not always take into account requirements to interoperate with SIP-based technologies. The only existing open protocol was &xep0111;, which made it possible to initiate and manage peer-to-peer sessions, but which did not provide enough of the key signalling semantics to be easily implemented in Jabber/XMPP clients. <note>It is true that TINS made it relatively easy to implement an XMPP-to-SIP gateway; however, in line with the long-time Jabber philosophy of "simple clients, complex servers", it would be better to force complexity onto the server-side gateway and to keep the client as simple as possible.</note></p>
|
|
<p>The result was an unfortunate fragmentation within the XMPP community regarding signalling protocols. Essentially, there were two possible approaches to solving the problem:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Recommend that all client developers implement a dual-stack (XMPP + SIP) solution.</li>
|
|
<li>Define a full-featured protocol for XMPP signalling.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Implementation experience indicates that a dual-stack approach might not be feasible on all the computing platforms for which Jabber clients have been written, or even desirable on platforms where it is feasible. <note>For example, one large ISP decided to switch to a pure XMPP approach after having implemented and deployed a dual-stack client for several years.</note> Therefore, it seemed reasonable to define an XMPP signalling protocol that could provide the necessary session management semantics while also making it relatively straightforward to interoperate with existing Internet standards.</p>
|
|
<p>As a result of feedback received on <cite>XEP-0111</cite>, the original authors of this document (Joe Hildebrand and Peter Saint-Andre) began to define such a signalling protocol, code-named Jingle. Upon communication with members of the Google Talk team, <note>Google Talk is an instant messaging and voice/video chat service and client provided by Google; see <<link url='http://www.google.com/talk/'>http://www.google.com/talk/</link>>.</note> it was discovered that the emerging Jingle approach was conceptually (and even syntactically) quite similar to the signalling protocol used in the Google Talk application. Therefore, in the interest of interoperability and adoption, we decided to harmonize the two approaches. The signalling protocol specified herein is, therefore, substantially equivalent to the original Google Talk protocol, with several adjustments based on feedback received from implementors as well as for publication by the XMPP Standards Foundation.</p>
