<title>Jingle SOCKS5 Bytestreams Transport Method</title>
<abstract>This specification defines a Jingle transport method that results in sending data via the SOCKS5 Bytestreams (S5B) protocol defined in XEP-0065. Essentially this transport method reuses XEP-0065 semantics for sending the data and defines native Jingle methods for starting and ending an S5B 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 SOCKS5 Bytestreams (S5B) protocol specified in &xep0065;. This "jingle-s5b" method results in a streaming transport method suitable for use in Jingle application types where packet loss cannot be tolerated (e.g., file transfer).</p>
<p>It is RECOMMENDED that a client offers as much &lt;streamhost/&gt; elements with itself as StreamHost as possible. This includes opening the TCP port on all available interfaces the user wants to use (e.g. maybe not an expensive UMTS link), both the IPv4 and IPv6 of that interface (if available), and using an assisting NAT protocol if possible. If the client knows it is behind and the router announces UPnP IGD or NAT-PMP support, the client SHOULD map the open port to the external interface of the router and include the public IP address and port information in the &lt;streamhost/&gt; offers. To increase the chance of success without using a proxy, this specification allows the responder to also send offers.</p>

<p>This flow is illustrated in the following examples (to prevent confusion these use a "stub" transport instead of a real application type).</p>
<p>First the initiator sends a Jingle session-initiate request that contains one or more transport candidates, which in jingle-s5b are XEP-0065 streamhosts.</p>

<p>The responder immediately acknowledges receipt.</p>

type='result'/>
]]></example>
<p>Depending on the application type, a user agent controlled by a human user might need to wait for the user to affirm a desire to proceed with the session before continuing. When the user agent has received such affirmation (or if the user agent can automatically proceed for any reason, e.g. because no human intervention is expected or because a human user has configured the user agent to automatically accept sessions with a given entity), it returns a Jingle session-accept message. This message MUST contain a &TRANSPORT; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:s5b:0' namespace, which SHOULD in turn contain one &lt;streamhost/&gt; element for each SOCKS5 Bytestreams candidate generated by or known to the responder, but MAY instead be empty if the responder does not wish to offer any streamhosts or wishes to send each candidate as the payload of a transport-info message.</p>
<p>Note: If the responder sends streamhost candidates, the chances of a successful connection are increased. For example, the initiator might be behind a NAT or might have no access to a proxy, whereas the responder might have a public IP address, might know about a streamhost proxy, or might have NAT penetration support like NAT-PMP in the router.</p>
<p>In the following example, Juliet's client is the StreamHost and opens one port. The provided &lt;streamhost/&gt; elements are the (private) IPv4 address of the interface, a (public) IPv6 address, and the public IPv4 address created by mapping the private IP address/port using NAT-PMP.</p>

<p>Once one client has successfully created a connection with a StreamHost, it sends the &lt;streamhost-used/&gt; element defined in XEP-0065 to the peer; as a result, both clients will stop trying to connect to other candidates. <note>If both clients happen to send the streamhost-used message at the same time (two connections are open), the StreamHost chosen by the initiator wins (consistent with the rules in <cite>XEP-0166</cite>) and the responder closes the streamhost connection it was able to establish.</note></p>

<p>The initiator can then immediately begin sending data over the SOCKS5 bytestream as described in XEP-0065 (in fact the streamhost is bidirectional, so the responder can use it as well).</p>

<p>If the initiator receives such an error message from the responder and was also unable to connect to any StreamHosts (or did not receive any from the responder), it MUST either terminate the Jingle session with a Jingle reason of &lt;connectivity-error/&gt; or replace the transport by something else using the transport-replace action. Typically the fallback option is &xep0047;. Therefore the initiator sends a transport-replace action including a transport of IBB.</p>

<p>The same processing rules and usage guidelines defined in XEP-0065 apply to the Jingle S5B Transport Method. Additional implementation suggestions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>A client should try the offered StreamHosts in the given order.</li>
<li>If more than one &lt;streamhost/&gt; element is present a client should wait 200ms before trying the next one.</li>
<li>If the JID of a StreamHosts is not the one of the peer it indicates the usage of a proxy. If the client had offered direct connection information it MAY want to wait a little bit longer than 200ms before trying the first proxy to allow the peer to connect without the usage of a proxy.</li>
<li>A client should NOT wait for a TCP timeout on connect. If it is unable to connect to any StreamHost within 5 seconds it should send the streamhost-error.</li>
