<title>Jingle In-Band Bytestreams Transport Method</title>
|
|
<abstract>This specification defines a Jingle transport method that results in sending data via the In-Band Bytestreams (IBB) protocol defined in XEP-0047. Essentially this transport method reuses XEP-0047 semantics for sending the data and defines native Jingle methods for starting and ending an IBB session.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>&xep0166; defines a framework for negotiating and managing data sessions over XMPP. In order to provide a flexible framework, the base Jingle specification defines neither data transport methods nor application formats, leaving that up to separate specifications. The current document defines a transport method for establishing and managing data exchanges between XMPP entities using the existing In-Band Bytestreams (IBB) protocol specified in &xep0047;. This "jingle-ibb" method results in a streaming transport method suitable for use in Jingle application types where packet loss cannot be tolerated (e.g., file transfer); however, because the "jingle-ibb" transport method sends data over the XMPP channel itself (albeit not the Jingle signalling channel), it is intended as a transport of last resort when other streaming transports (e.g., &xep0260;) cannot be negotiated.</p>
|
|
<p>The approach taken in this specification is to use the existing IBB mechanisms described in <cite>XEP-0047</cite> for transporting the data, and to define Jingle-specific methods only to start and end the in-band bytestream.</p>

<p>Note: The default value of the 'stanza' attribute is "iq", signifying use of &IQ; stanzas for data exchange; a value of "message" signifies that &MESSAGE; stanzas are to be used for data exchange.

<p>The responder immediately acknowledges receipt (but does not yet accept the session).</p>

<p>In essence, the foregoing Jingle negotiation replaces the <open/> element from <cite>XEP-0047</cite>. However, to provide consistent layering of Jingle on top of IBB (thus enabling separation of existing IBB code from new Jingle code), the initiator now MUST also send the <open/> element, with the same 'block-size' and 'sid' values as for the Jingle <transport/> element it negotiated with the recipient (i.e., if the recipient sent a modified <transport/> element element containing a different block size, the initiator MUST use the negotiated values). This adds a roundtrip to the negotiation and could be considered a "no-op", but the extra roundtrip is inconsequential given that the parties will be exchanging base64-encoded data in-band.</p>

<p>However, one of the errors described in <cite>XEP-0047</cite> might occur; in particular, if the value of the IBB 'block-size' attribute sent by the initiator in the <open/> element does not match the value of the 'block-size' attribute communicated by the responder in the Jingle session-accept message then the responder SHOULD return a &constraint; error as described in <cite>XEP-0047</cite>.</p>

<section2 topic='Managing Multiple IBB Sessions' anchor='protocol-multi'>
|
|
<p>As IBB is defined in <cite>XEP-0047</cite>, there is one session per bytestream (which can be used in both directions). However, because Jingle-IBB provides a management layer on top of IBB, it can be used to run multiple IBB sessions over a single bytestream. This can be done by sending a transport-info message that authorizes an additional session, as shown in the following example (although this example shows the initiator adding a session, the responder could just as well do so).</p>

<example caption="Initiator adds a session to the bytestream"><![CDATA[

|
|
<p>The initiator opens the second session by sending an IBB <open/> element, which the responder acknowledges (not shown).</p>

<p>Whenever a party is finished with a particular session within the bytestream, it SHOULD send an IBB <close/> as shown above. This applies to all sessions, including the last one.</p>

<p>To close the bytestream itself (e.g., because the parties have finished using all sessions associated with the bytestream), a party sends a Jingle session-terminate action as defined in <cite>XEP-0166</cite>.</p>

<p>In order for an application to determine whether an entity supports this protocol, where possible it SHOULD use the dynamic, presence-based profile of service discovery defined in &xep0115;.
