<title>Jingle XML Streams</title>
<abstract>This specification defines a Jingle application type for establishing direct or mediated XML streams between two entities over any reliable transport. This technology thus enables two entities to establish a trusted connection for end-to-end encryption or for bypassing server limits on large volumes of XMPP traffic.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>The standard client-server architecture for XMPP communication provides a stable infrastructure for real-time communication. However, there are certain situations in which it is desirable to bypass the standard client-server architecture, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Two endpoints cannot access an XMPP server</li>
<li>Two endpoints want to enforce end-to-end encryption</li>
<li>Two endpoints want to send a high volume of XMPP traffic but the intermediate servers enforce rate limits</li>
</ul>
<p>The first situation is addressed by &xep0174;. However, if the endpoints already have client-to-server connections but wish to bypass those connections or leverage those streams for a higher-level application such as end-to-end encryption, it is desirable for the two endpoints to negotiate an end-to-end XML stream. This specification defines methods for doing so, where the application format is an XML stream and the transport method is any direct or mediated reliable transport, such as &xep0261; (mediated), &xep0260; (direct or mediated), or a future ice-tcp Jingle transport (direct or mediated) based on &ice-tcp;.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Open a Secure Stream' anchor='protocol'>
<p>This section provides a friendly introduction to Jingle XML streams.</p>
<p>First, the party that wishes to initiate the stream determines the responder's capabilities (via &xep0030; or &xep0115;). Here we assume that the responder supports a service discovery feature of 'urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:apps:xmlstream:0' &NSNOTE; corresponding to the Jingle XML stream functionalited defined herein, as well as the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:s5b:0' and 'urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:ibb:0' features.</p>
<p>The initiator then sends a Jingle session-initiation request to the responder. The content-type of the request specifies three things:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li><p>An application type of "urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:apps:xmlstream:0" &NSNOTE;, where the &lt;description/&gt; element specifies parameters for the XML stream and the parameters map to those provided in &xep0155; in a way that is consistent with &xep0116;.</p></li>
<li><p>Options for the reliable transport method, such as In-Band Bytestreams ("IBB") as defined in <cite>XEP-0261</cite> or SOCKS5 Bytestreams ("S5B") as defined in <cite>XEP-0260</cite>.</p></li>
<li><p>A security element as defined by <cite>Jingle-XTLS</cite>.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>In this example, the initiator is &lt;romeo@montague.lit&gt;, the responder is &lt;juliet@capulet.lit&gt;, and the initiation request specifies Alice's desired stream parameters along with a transport method of "s5b" (i.e., <cite>XEP-0260</cite>).</p>
<p>The flow is as follows.</p>
