<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>The purpose of Jingle is to enable one-to-one, peer-to-peer media sessions between XMPP entities, with the negotiation occurring over XMPP and the media being exchanged outside the XMPP band using technologies such as the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP; &rfc3550;), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP; &rfc0768;), and &ice;.</p>
|
|
<p>One target application for Jingle is simple voice chat (see &xep0167;). We stress the word "simple". The purpose of Jingle is 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 building in support for these features would introduce unnecessary complexity into a technology that is designed for basic multimedia interaction.</p>
|
|
<p>The purpose of Jingle is not to supplant or replace technologies based on 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>
|
|
<p>Jingle is designed in a modular way so that developers can easily add support for multimedia session types other than voice chat, such as video chat (see &xep0180;), application sharing, file sharing, collaborative editing, whiteboarding, and torrent broadcasting. The transport methods are also modular, so that Jingle implementations can use any appropriate media transport (including proprietary methods not standardized through the XMPP Standards Foundation).</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
|
|
<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 (not limited to voice and video) within XMPP.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the signalling channel (XMPP) from the data channel.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the content description formats (e.g., for voice chat) from the content transport methods.</li>
|
|
<li>Make it possible to add, modify, and remove content types from 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 content description formats (audio, video, etc.) and, where possible, mapping those types to the Session Description Protocol (SDP; see &rfc4566;); examples include <cite>XEP-0167</cite> and <cite>XEP-0180</cite>.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Various content transport methods; examples include &xep0176; and &xep0177;.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Procedures for mapping the Jingle signalling protocol to existing signalling standards such as the IETF's Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the ITU's H.323 protocol (see &h323;); these documents are forthcoming.</p></li>

<td>A number of pairs of negotiated content transport methods and content description formats connecting two entities. It is delimited in time by an initiate request and session ending events. During the lifetime of a session, pairs of content descriptions and content transport methods can be added or removed. A session consists of at least one active negotiated content type at a time.</td>

|
<td>Content Description</td>
|
|
<td>The format of the content type being established, which formally declares one purpose of the session (e.g., "voice" or "video"). This is the 'what' of the session (i.e., the bits to be transferred), such as the acceptable codecs when establishing a voice conversation. In Jingle XML syntax the content type is the namespace of the &DESCRIPTION; element.</td>

<td>Transport Method</td>
|
|
<td>The method for establishing data stream(s) between entities. Possible transports might include ICE-TCP, Raw UDP, inband data, etc. This is the 'how' of the session. In Jingle XML syntax this is the namespace of the &TRANSPORT; element. The content transport method defines how to transfer bits from one host to another. Each transport method must specify whether it is lossy (thus suitable for applications where some packet loss is tolerable) or reliable (thus suitable for applications where packet loss is not tolerable).</td>

<td>Component</td>
|
|
<td>A component is a numbered stream of data which needs to be transmitted between the endpoints for a given content type in the context of a given session. It is up to the transport to negotiate the details of each component. Depending on the content type and the content description, one content description may require multiple components to be communicated (e.g., the audio content type might use two components: one to transmit an RTP stream and another to transmit RTCP timing information).</td>

<section1 topic='Concepts and Approach' anchor='concepts'>
|
|
<p>Jingle consists of three parts, each with its own syntax, semantics, and state machine:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Overall session management</li>
|
|
<li>Content description formats (the "what")</li>
|
|
<li>Content transport methods (the "how")</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This document defines the semantics and syntax for overall session management. It also provides pluggable "slots" for content description formats and content transport methods, which are specified in separate documents; however, for the sake of completeness, this document also includes examples for all of the actions related to description formats and transport methods.</p>
|
|
<p>At the most basic level, the process for negotiating a Jingle session is as follows:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>One user (the "initator") sends to another user (the "receiver") a session request with one content type, which includes at least one content type.</li>
|
|
<li>If the receiver wants to proceed, it provisionally accepts the request by sending an IQ result.</li>
|
|
<li>Both the initiator and receive start exchanging possible transport candidates as quickly as possible (these are sent in quick succession before further negotiation in order to minimize the time required before media data can flow).</li>
|
|
<li>These candidates are checked for connectivity.</li>
|
|
<li>As soon as the receiver finds a candidate over which media can flow, the receiver sends to the initiator a "session-accept" action.</li>
|
|
<li>The parties start sending media over the negotiated candidate.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If the parties later discover a better candidate, they perform a "content-modify" negotiation and then switch to the better candidate. Naturally they can also modify various other parameters related to the session (e.g., adding video to a voice chat).</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='Overall Session Management' anchor='concepts-session'>
|
|
<p>The state machine for overall session management (i.e., the state per Session ID) is as follows:</p>

<section2 topic='Resource Determination' anchor='session-resource'>
|
|
<p>In order to initiate a Jingle session, the initiator must determine which of the receiver's XMPP resources is best for the desired content description format. There are several possible scenarios:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>If the intended responder shares presence with the initiator (see &xmppim;) and has only one available resource, this task SHOULD be completed using &xep0030; or the presence-based profile of service discovery specified in &xep0115;. <note>Naturally, instead of sending service discovery requests to every contact in a user's roster, it is more efficient to use <cite>Entity Capabilities</cite>, whereby support for Jingle and various Jingle content description formats and content transport methods is determined for a client version in general (rather than on a per-JID basis) and then cached. Refer to <cite>XEP-0115</cite> for details.</note></p></li>
|
|
<li><p>If the intended responder shares presence with the initiator and has more than one available resource but only one of the resources supports Jingle and the desired content description format, the initiator SHOULD MUST initiate the Jingle signalling with that resource.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>If the intended responder shares presence with the initiator and has more than one available resource but more than one of the resources supports Jingle and the desired content description format, the initiator SHOULD use &xep0168; in order to determine which is the best resource with which to initiate the desired Jingle session.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>If the intended responder does not share presence with the initiator, the initiator SHOULD first send a &xep0155; request to the responder in order to initiate the exchange of XMPP stanzas. The request SHOULD include a RAP routing hint as specified in <cite>XEP-0168</cite> and the &MESSAGE; stanza containing the request SHOULD be of type "headline" so that (typically) it is not stored offline for later delivery.</p></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Initiation' anchor='protocol-initiate'>
|
|
<p>Once the initiator has discovered which of the receiver's XMPP resources is ideal for the desired content description format, it sends a session initiation request to the receiver. This request is an IQ-set containing a &JINGLE; element qualified by the 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns' namespace. The &JINGLE; element MUST possess the 'action', 'initiator', and 'sid' attributes (the latter two uniquely identify the session). For initiation, the 'action' attribute MUST have a value of "session-initiate" and the &JINGLE; element MUST contain one or more &CONTENT; elements, each of which defines a content type to be transferred during the session; each &CONTENT; element in turn contains one &DESCRIPTION; child element that specifies a desired content description format and one &TRANSPORT; child element that specifies a potential content transport method. If either party wishes to propose the use of multiple transport methods for the same content description, it must send multiple &CONTENT; elements.</p>

|
|
<p>Note: The syntax and semantics of the &DESCRIPTION; and &TRANSPORT; elements are out of scope for this specification, but are defined in related specifications.</p>
|
|
<p>The attributes of the &JINGLE; element are as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The 'action' attribute is REQUIRED; it specifies a Jingle action as listed in this document (e.g., "session-initiate").</li>
|
|
<li>The 'initiator' attribute is the full JID of the entity that has initiated the session flow (which may be different from the 'from' address on the IQ-set).</li>
|
|
<li>The OPTIONAL 'reasoncode' attribute specifies a machine-readable purpose for the action being sent (e.g., "connectivity-error" for a session-terminate action).</li>
|
|
<li>The OPTIONAL 'reasontext' attribute specifies a human-readable purpose for the action being sent (e.g., "Sorry, gotta go!" for a session-terminate action).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'responder' attribute (see examples below) is the full JID of the entity that has replied to the initiation (which may be different from the 'to' address on the IQ-set).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'sid' attribute is a random session identifier generated by the initiator; this SHOULD match the XML Nmtoken production <note>See <<link url='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814#NT-Nmtoken'>http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814#NT-Nmtoken</link>></note> so that XML character escaping is not needed for characters such as &. (Note: the 'sid' attribute effectively maps to the SIP "Call-ID" parameter.)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The attributes of the &CONTENT; element are as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The 'creator' attribute is REQUIRED; it specifies which party originally generated the content description (used to prevent race conditions regarding modifications).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'name' attribute is REQUIRED; it specifies a unique name or identifier for the content type (this identifier is opaque and does not have semantic meaning).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'profile' attribute is RECOMMENDED; for some content types, it specifies the profile in use (e.g., "RTP/AVP" in the context of the Real-time Transport Protocol).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'senders' attribute is RECOMMENDED; it specifies which entities in the session will be generating content; the allowable values are "initiator", "recipient", or "both" (where "both" is the default).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Note: In order to expedite session establishment, the initiator MAY send transport candidates (e.g., for negotiation of the ICE transport) immediately after sending the "session-initiate" message and before receiving acknowledgement from the receiver (i.e., the initiator MUST consider the session to be live even before receiving acknowledgement). Given in-order delivery, the receiver should receive such "transport-info" messages after receiving the "session-initiate" message (if not, it is appropriate for the receiver to return <unknown-session/> errors since it according to its state machine the session does not exist).</p>

<p>Unless an error occurs, the receiver MUST acknowledge receipt of the initiation request:</p>

|
|
<p>If the receiver acknowledges receipt of the initation request, both parties must consider the session to be in the PENDING state.</p>
|
|
<p>There are several reasons why the receiver might return an error instead of acknowledging receipt of the initiation request:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The initiator is unknown to the receiver (e.g., via presence subscription) and the receiver does not communicate with unknown entities.</li>
|
|
<li>The receiver wishes to redirect to another address.</li>
|
|
<li>The receiver does not support Jingle.</li>

<li>The receiver does not support any of the specified content description formats.</li>
|
|
<li>The receiver does not support any of the specified content transport methods.</li>
|
|
<li>The initiation request was malformed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If the initiator is unknown to the receiver (e.g., via presence subscription) and the receiver has a policy of not communicating via Jingle with unknown entities, it SHOULD return a &unavailable; error.</p>

<section2 topic='Decline' anchor='protocol-decline'>

<section2 topic='Negotiation' anchor='session-negotiation'>
|
|
<p>In general, negotiation will be necessary before the parties can agree on an acceptable set of content types, content description formats, and content transport methods. The potential combinations of parameters to be negotiated are many, and not all are shown herein (some are shown in the relevant specifications for various content description formats and content transport methods).</p>
|
|
<p>One session-level negotiation is to <em>remove</em> a content types. For example, let us imagine that Juliet is having a bad hair day. She certainly does not want to include video in her Jingle session with Romeo, so she sends a "content-remove" request to Romeo:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Content Type Removal"><![CDATA[

<p>The entity receiving the session reduction request then acknowledges the request:</p>

<iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' id='reduce1' type='result'/>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>If the reduction results in no more content types for the session, the entity that receives the session-reduce SHOULD send a session-terminate action to the other party (since a session with no content types is void).</p>
|
|
<p>Another session-level negotiation is to <em>add</em> a content type; however, this MUST NOT be done while the session is in the PENDING state and is allowed only while the session is in the ACTIVE state.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Acceptance' anchor='session-acceptance'>
|
|
<p>If (after negotiation of content transport methods and content description formats) the receiver determines that it will be able to establish a connection, it sends a definitive acceptance to the initiator:</p>

|
|
<p>The &JINGLE; element in the accept stanza MUST contain one or more <content/> elements, each of which MUST contain one <description/> element and one <transport/> element. The &JINGLE; element SHOULD possess a 'responder' attribute that explicitly specifies the full JID of the responding entity, and the initiator SHOULD send all future commmunications about this Jingle session to the JID provided in the 'responder' attribute.</p>
|
|
<p>The initiator then acknowledges the receiver's definitive acceptance:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Initiator Acknowledges Definitive Acceptance"><![CDATA[

<iq type='result' to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' id='accept1'/>

]]></example>
|
|
<p>Now the initiator and receiver can begin sending content over the negotiated connection.</p>
|
|
<p>If one of the parties cannot find a suitable content transport method, it SHOULD terminate the session as described below.</p>
|

</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Modifying an Active Session' anchor='session-modify'>
|
|
<p>In order to modify an active session, either party may send a "content-remove", "content-add", "content-modify", "description-modify", or "transport-modify" action to the other party. The receiving party then sends an appropriate "-accept" or "-decline" action, and may first send an appropriate "-info" action.</p>
|
|
<p>If both parties send modify messages at the same time, the modify message from the session initiator MUST trump the modify message from the recipient and the initiator SHOULD return an &unexpected; error to the other party.</p>
|
|
<p>One example of modifying an active session is to <em>add</em> a content type. For example, let us imagine that Juliet gets her hair in order and now wants to add video. She now sends a "content-add" request to Romeo:</p>

<section2 topic='Termination' anchor='session-terminate'>
|
|
<p>In order to gracefully end the session (which MAY be done at any point after acknowledging receipt of the initiation request, including immediately thereafter in order to decline the request), either the receiver or the initiator MUST a send a "terminate" action to the other party:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Receiver Terminates the Session"><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
|
|
id='term1'

type='set'>
|
|
<jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
|
|
action='session-terminate'
|
|
initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
|
|
reason='Sorry, gotta go!'
|
|
sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'/>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>The other party (in this case the initiator) MUST then acknowledge termination of the session:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Initiator Acknowledges Termination"><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq type='result' to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' id='term1'/>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>Note: As soon as an entity sends a "session-terminate" action, it MUST consider the session to be ended (even before receiving acknowledgement from the other party). If the terminating entity receives additional IQ-sets from the other party after sending the "session-terminate" action, it MUST reply with an <unknown-session/> error.</p>
|
|
<p>Unfortunately, not all sessions end gracefully. In applications of Jingle that also involve the exchange of presence information, receipt of &UNAVAILABLE; from the other party MAY be a considered session-ending event. However, in this case there is nothing for the party to acknowledge.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Informational Messages' anchor='session-info'>
|
|
<p>At any point after initiation of a Jingle session, either entity MAY send an informational message to the other party, for example to change a content transport method or content description format parameter, inform the other party that a session initiation request is queued, that a device is ringing, or that a scheduled event has occurred or will occur.</p>
|
|
<p>An informational message MUST be an IQ-set containing a &JINGLE; element whose 'action' attribute is set to a value of "session-info" or "transport-info"; the &JINGLE; element MUST further contain a payload child element (specific to the session or to a transport method) that specifies the information being communicated. If the party that receives an informational message does not understand the payload, it MUST return a &feature; error with a Jingle-specific error condition of <unsupported-info/>.</p>
|
|
<p>If either party receives an empty "session-info" message for an active session, it MUST send an empty IQ result; this way, an empty "session-info" message may be used as a "ping" to determine session vitality.</p>

<p>Jingle sessions may 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 content 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 may be enabled through gateways to non-XMPP networks, whose security characteristics may 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>

<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 may 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 a messaging and voice 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 within the XMPP Standards Foundation's standards process.</p>
