<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p class='box'><em>This document is one of several proposals for distributing XMPP chat rooms across multiple chat services. It is expected that the various approaches will be refined and harmonized before a final protocol is developed.</em></p>
<p>The architecture is that of a single root node, called MASTER and several repeater nodes, each called SLAVE. Every stanza is submitted via the slaves to the master, control is centralized there. The master then sends a copy of the stanza to each of the slaves where it is processed and then distributed to each of the slave's leaf nodes, local users at this point. During redistribution, the slave shall not change the stanza's 'from' attribute, which is only possible if the slave is in the same security domain as the user. The result of that is a decreased number of messages on the server-to-server links between the master's server and each of the slave servers.</p>

<p>Note that this only applies to stanzas that are directed to all occupants, such as the change of availability status and messages whose 'type' attribute is set to 'groupchat'.</p>
<p>While 1-1 stanzas such as in-room private messages or vcard-temp requests may also travel along that path they are currently unaffected by this.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
<p>This specification addresses the following requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>The existence of the slave shall be transparent for the user.</li>
<li>Enable detection of connection loss.</li>
<li>Enable occupants to remain in instance of the conference if connectivity is lost to other instances.</li>
<li>Enable occupants to leave a chatroom while connectivity is lost.</li>
<li>Enable syncing of history and room rosters on reconnect.</li>
<li>Improve distribution of 'broadcast' stanzas'.</li>

<p>In our example we are presuming that three slaves from three hosts have registered with the master for traffic redistribution. They are doing so using slave@host jids, but they could be using any temporary jid the implementor finds useful to choose.</p>

<p>PARANOIA: why should the slave let the master create the slave and send room roster and history?</p>
-->
</section2>
<section2 topic='Initial Room Roster'>
<p>After the creation of a new slave, the master must send the room roster (which at that time only consists of remote participants) to the slave:</p>

</section2>
<section2 topic='Initial Room History'>
<p>After the creation of a new slave, the master MAY also send the discussion history to the slave. The slave shall store this and deliver it to entering participants.</p>
<p>from=masterjid to=slavejid?</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='ENTER'>
<p>If a new occupant requests to enter the room, the master first sends a presence update to all participants to inform them of the presence of the new user. Then, the master sends the affected slave a stanza requesting it to add the user to the distribution list</p>
<example caption="Master informs Slave of New Occupant"><![CDATA[
<presence

<enter jid='rubenro@vesa.yeggmaex.irc/shaver'/>
<history maxstanzas='20'/>
</x>
...
</presence>]]></example>
<p>The slave MUST verify that the user has sent directed presence to the masters JID before. This helps to ensure that the user intended to enter the room. If this is ture, the slave shall add the user to the distribution list and send the room roster, occupants own presence in room and discussion history to the full jid of the added user.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='LEAVE'>
<p>If an occupant sends an unavailable presence to the room, the master sends the affected slave a stanza requesting it to remove the user from the distribution list.</p>
<example caption="Master informs Slave of Occupant's Departure"><![CDATA[
<presence

<leave jid='rubenro@vesa.yeggmaex.irc/shaver'/>

<p>The slave removes user and forwards the stanza to user.</p>
<p>The master then sends a presence update to all slaves to announce the occupants departure.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Presence Update'>
<p>Presence updates are distributed by the master to all slaves.</p>

<p>Note that the master MUST NOT send the full jid of the user to any slaves without members that are moderators.</p>
<p>When rebroadcasting this stanza to its local occupants, the slave MUST remove the participants full JID subject to the rules of XEP-0045. In addition, the slave stores the resulting changes to the room roster, so that it can send the correct state to entering users.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Slave Forwards Stanza to Master'>
<p>The slave may relay messages from local users to the master. When doing so, it MUST NOT modify the stanzas 'from' attribute but MUST retain the original address of the sender.</p>
<!--
<p>Die Regel ist relativ einfach... from=fulljid to=masterjid/undevtlresource</p>
<p>fulljid deshalb, damit der master nicht checken muss ob der jeweilige user auf dem slave ist und ausserdem der jeweilige user nicht zwangsläufig im Raum sein muss...</p>
<p>Beispiele: message submit, presence update, privatchat innerhalb raum, vcard avatar get</p>

</section2>
<section2 topic='Message Broadcast'>
<p>When relaying a message, the master SHOULD add a urn:xmpp:delay element inside dmuc element so that the slave can provide proper timestamps to new users. The master then sends a copy of the stanza to each slave.</p>

<p>After saving the stanza for the purpose of keeping a room history, the slave SHOULD remove the urn:xmpp:tmp:dmuc:0 element and send the stanza to each local user.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Master-Slave Keepalive'>
<p>To ensure a working connecting, the master SHOULD send an XMPP Ping stanza to each slave if there has been no traffic for a certain amount of time.</p>
<p>Likewise, each slave should ping the master if there has been no traffic for more than the usual amount of time.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Netsplit' anchor='netsplit'>
<section3 topic='Netsplit Detection' anchor='netsplit-detect'>
<p>A 'lost connection' can be detected by either slave or master when a stanza sent to the master or a slave respectively bounced.</p>
<section4 topic='At the Master'>
<p>If the master receives a stanza with type=error from the slave JID, it MUST:</p>
<ul>
<li>mark the slave as 'split', making sure that any further broadcasts are not sent to the affected slave</li>
<li>start sending pings to the slave with a higher frequency to get a timely notification if the slave reappears</li>
<li>resync when the slave reappears as described below</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the master MAY send a presence update for each user on the affected slave, marking them as away.</p>
</section4>
<section4 topic='At the Slave'>
<p>If the slave receives a stanza with type=error from the master's JID, it MUST:</p>
<ul>
<li>stop submitting messages to the master</li>
<li>react to people sending presence updates or leaving the room and broadcast those changes to local users</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the slave MAY (and be careful when using this):</p>
<ul>
<li>enable local participants to continue their in-room conversation with other local participants</li>
<li>enable local participants to continue 1-1 messaging in the context of a room (such as private chat or vcard retrieval)</li>
<li>enable local users to enter the room (DANGER!!!)</li>
<li>enable moderators (as designated by the master) to kick participants</li>
