<abstract>This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for initiating and managing peer-to-peer media sessions between two XMPP entities in a way that is interoperable with existing Internet standards. The protocol provides a pluggable model that enables the core session management semantics to be used for a wide variety of application types (e.g., voice chat, video chat, file sharing) and with a wide variety of transport methods (e.g., TCP, UDP, ICE, application-specific transports).</abstract>

<ul>
|
|
<li>Changed "reliable" vs. "lossy" to "streaming" vs. "datagram", since reliability or dependability is orthogonal to the streaming nature of the transport.</li>
|
|
<li>Deleted the "content-remove" action.</li>
|
|
<li>Added "transport-replace" action (answered by "transport-accept").</li>
|
|
<li>Removed <condition/> element as container for Jingle condition elements inside <reason/>, since it introduced an unnecessary layer of indirection.</li>
|
|
<li>Modified state machine to allow content removal during PENDING state.</li>
|
|
<li>Noted that a session can have more than one content instance of the same type.</li>
|

<li>Noted that the 'name' attribute is unique to a creator.</li>
|

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>The purpose of Jingle is to enable one-to-one, peer-to-peer media sessions between XMPP entities, where the negotiation occurs over the XMPP "channel" and the media is exchanged outside the XMPP channel 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 adding support for them to the core Jingle layer 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 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='How It Works' anchor='howitworks'>
|
|
<p>This section provides a friendly introduction to Jingle.</p>
|
|
<p>In essence, Jingle enables two XMPP entities (e.g., romeo@montague.lit and juliet@capulet.lit) to set up, manage, and tear down a multimedia session. The negotiation takes place over XMPP, and the media transfer takes place outside of XMPP. The simplest session flow is as follows:</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
Romeo Juliet
|
|
| |
|
|
| session-initiate |
|
|
|---------------------------->|
|
|
| ack |
|
|
|<----------------------------|
|
|
| session-accept |
|
|
|<----------------------------|
|
|
| ack |
|
|
|---------------------------->|
|
|
| MEDIA SESSION |
|
|
|<===========================>|
|
|
| session-terminate |
|
|
|<----------------------------|
|
|
| ack |
|
|
|---------------------------->|
|
|
| |
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>Naturally, more complex scenarios are possible; such scenarios are described in other specifications, such as <cite>XEP-0167</cite> for voice chat.</p>
|
|
<p>The simplest flow might happen as follows. The example is that of a voice chat offer, where the transport method is &xep0176;.</p>

</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>Upon receiving the session-initiate stanza, the responder determines whether it can proceed with the negotiation. If there is no error, the responder acknowledges the session initiation request.</p>

<p>After successful transport negotiation (not shown here), the responder accepts the session by sending a session-accept action to the initiator.</p>

<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 (including but not limited to voice and video) within XMPP.</li>
|
|
<li>When a peer-to-peer connection cannot be negotiated, make it possible to fall back to relayed communications.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the signalling channel (XMPP) from the data channel.</li>
|
|
<li>Clearly separate the application formats (e.g., audio) from the transport methods (e.g., RTP).</li>
|
|
<li>Make it possible to add, modify, and remove both application types and transport methods in 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 application formats (audio, video, etc.) and, where possible, mapping of those types to the Session Description Protocol (SDP; see &rfc4566;); examples include <cite>Jingle RTP Sessions</cite> and &xep0234;.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Various transport methods; examples include <cite>Jingle ICE-UDP Transport</cite> 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;); see for example &xmppsipmedia;.</p></li>

<td>The data 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 application format is the namespace of the &DESCRIPTION; element.</td>

It is up to the transport to negotiate the details of each component. Depending on the content type, multiple components might be needed (e.g., one to transmit an RTP stream and another to transmit RTCP timing information).</td>

In Jingle XML syntax this is the namespace of the &TRANSPORT; element. The transport method defines how to transfer bits from one host to another. Each transport method must specify whether it is datagram (thus suitable for applications where some packet loss is tolerable) or streaming (thus suitable for applications where packet loss is not tolerable).</td>

<section1 topic='Concepts and Approach' anchor='concepts'>
|
|
<p>Jingle consists of three parts, each with its own syntax and semantics:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Overall session management</li>
|
|
<li>Application types (the "what")</li>
|
|
<li>Transport methods (the "how")</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This document defines the semantics and syntax for overall session management. It also provides pluggable "slots" for application formats and transport methods, which are specified in separate documents.</p>
|
|
<p>At the most basic level, the process for initial negotiation of a Jingle session is as follows (i.e., the actions that can be generated during the PENDING state):</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>One user (the "initiator") sends to another user (the "responder") a session initiation request with at least one content definition.</li>
|
|
<li>If the responder wants to proceed, it acknowledges the session initiation request by sending an IQ result.</li>
|
|
<li>The parties attempt to set up data transmission over the designated transport method as defined in the relevant specification.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, either party can add or remove content definitions, or change the direction of the media flow.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, either party can send session-info actions (to inform the other party that it is attempting transport negotiation, that its device is ringing, etc.).</li>
|
|
<li>As soon as the responder determines that data can flow over the designated transport, it sends to the initiator a session-accept action.</li>
|
|
<li>The parties start sending data over the transport.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>After the initial session negotiation has been completed and the session is in the ACTIVE state, the parties can adjust the session definition by sending the content-modify, content-remove, content-add, and transport-replace actions. In addition, certain transport methods allow continued sending of transport-info actions while in the ACTIVE state. And naturally the parties can send session-info actions at any time.</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>

<section1 topic='Session Flow' anchor='session'>
|
|
<p>This section defines the high-level flow of a Jingle session. More detailed descriptions are provided in the specifications for Jingle application formats and transport methods.</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='Resource Determination' anchor='session-resource'>
|
|
<p>In order to initiate a Jingle session, the initiator needs to determine which of the responder's XMPP resources is best for the desired application format. Methods for doing so are out of scope for this specification. However, see the <link url='#support'>Determining Support</link> section of this document (and associated specifications) for relevant information.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Initiation' anchor='protocol-initiate'>
|
|
<p>Once the initiator has discovered which of the responder's XMPP resources is ideal for the desired application format, it sends a session initiation request to the responder. This request is an IQ-set containing a &JINGLE; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:0' namespace &VNOTE;, where the value of the 'action' attribute is "session-initiate" and where the &JINGLE; element contains one or more &CONTENT; elements. Each &CONTENT; element defines a content type to be transferred during the session, and each &CONTENT; element in turn contains one &DESCRIPTION; child element that specifies a desired application format and one &TRANSPORT; child element that specifies a potential transport method. If either party wishes to propose the use of multiple transport methods for the same application format, it MUST include multiple &CONTENT; elements.</p>

|
|
<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 action and before receiving acknowledgement from the responder (i.e., the initiator MUST consider the session to be PENDING even before receiving acknowledgement). Given in-order delivery in accordance with &xmppcore;, the responder will receive such transport-info actions after receiving the session-initiate action (if not, it is appropriate for the responder to return <unknown-session/> errors since according to its state machine the session does not exist).</p>

<p>However, after acknowledging the session initiation request, the responder might subsequently determine that it cannot proceed with negotiation of the session (e.g., because it does not support any of the offered application formats or transport methods, because a human user is busy or unable to accept the session, because a human user wishes to formally decline the session, etc.). In these cases, the responder SHOULD immediately acknowledge the session initiation request but then terminate the session with an appropriate reason as described in the <link url='#session-terminate'>Termination</link> section of this document.</p>

<section3 topic='Errors' anchor='protocol-response-errors'>

<p>Upon receiving an action of "session-terminate", the other party MUST then acknowledge termination of the session:</p>

<p>Note: As soon as an entity sends a session-terminate action, it MUST consider the session to be in the ENDED state (even before receiving acknowledgement from the other party). If the terminating entity receives additional Jingle-related 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 considered a session-ending event. However, in this case there is nothing for the party to acknowledge.</p>

<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 inform the other party that a device is ringing.</p>

<ringing xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:rtp:0:info'/>
|
|
</jingle>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<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 SHOULD further contain a payload child element (specific to the application format or 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>However, the &JINGLE; element associated with a session-info action MAY be empty. If either party receives an empty session-info action for an active session, it MUST send an empty IQ result; this usage functions as a "ping" to determine session vitality.</p>

<section3 topic='content-add' anchor='def-action-content-add'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-add</strong> action is used to add one or more new content definitions to the session. The sender MUST specify only the added content definition(s), not the added content definition(s) plus the existing content definition(s). Therefore it is the responsibility of the recipient to maintain a local copy of the current content definition(s). If the recipient wishes to include the new content definition in the session, it MUST send a content-accept action to the other party; if not, it MUST send a content-reject action to the other party.</p>
|

<section3 topic='content-modify' anchor='def-action-content-modify'>
|

<p>The <strong>content-modify</strong> action is used to change the direction of an existing content definition thorugh modification of the 'senders' attribute. If the recipient deems the directionality of a content-modify action to be unacceptable, it MAY reply with a contrary content-modify action, terminate the session, or simply refuse to send or accept application data in the new direction. In any case, the recipient MUST NOT send a content-accept action in response to the content-modify.</p>

<section3 topic='content-remove' anchor='def-action-content-remove'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>content-remove</strong> action is used to remove one or more content definitions from the session. The sender MUST specify only the removed content definition(s), not the removed content definition(s) plus the remaining content definition(s). Therefore it is the responsibility of the recipient to maintain a local copy of the current content definition(s). Upon receiving a content-remove from the other party, the recipient MUST NOT send a content-accept and MUST NOT continue to negotiate the transport method related to that content definition or send application data related to that content definition. <note>If the content-remove results in zero content definitions for the session, the entity that receives the content-remove SHOULD send a session-terminate action to the other party (since a session with no content definitions is void).</note></p>
|
|
</section3>
|
|
<section3 topic='session-accept' anchor='def-action-session-accept'>
|
|
<p>The <strong>session-accept</strong> action is used to definitively accept a session negotiation (implicitly this action also serves as a content-accept). A session-accept action indicates acceptance <em>only</em> of the content definition(s) whose disposition type is "session" (the default value of the &CONTENT; element's 'disposition' attribute), not any content definition(s) whose disposition type is something other than "session" (e.g., "early-session" for early media). In the session-accept stanza, the &JINGLE; element 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; after sending acknowledgement of the session-accept, the initiator SHOULD send all future commmunications about this Jingle session to the JID provided in the 'responder' attribute and note the new JID in the user interface.</p>

<p>The <strong>transport-replace</strong> action is used to redefine a transport method, typically for fallback to a different method (e.g., changing from ICE-UDP to Raw UDP for a datagram transport, or changing from &xep0065; to &xep0047; for a streaming transport). If the recipient wishes to use the new transport definition, it MUST send a transport-accept action to the other party; if not, it MUST send a transport-reject action to the other party.</p>

<p>It is possible that two instances of certain actions can be sent at the same time in the context of an existing session, one by each party; for example, both parties might simulaneously attempt to send a content-add, content-modify, or content-remove action. In all such cases, the action sent by the initiator MUST overrule the action sent by the responder; i.e., both parties MUST accept the action sent by the initiator and the initiator MUST return an &unexpected; error to the responder for the duplicate action.</p>

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

</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Information Exposure' anchor='security-info'>
|
|
<p>Mere negotiation of a Jingle session can expose sensitive information about the parties (e.g., IP addresses). Care must be taken in communicating such information, and end-to-end encryption should be used if the parties do not trust the intermediate servers or 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 might 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 by the XMPP Standards Foundation.</p>
