Interworking between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Groupchat
draft-saintandre-sip-xmpp-groupchat-03
Abstract
This document defines a bidirectional protocol mapping for the
exchange of instant messages in the context of a multiparty chat
session among users of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and
users of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).
Specifically, this document defines a mapping between the XMPP Multi-
User Chat (MUC) extension and the SIP-based Message Session Relay
Protocol (MSRP).

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
1. Introduction
Both the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] and the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [RFC6120] can be
used for the purpose of multiparty text chat over the Internet. To
ensure interworking between these technologies, it is important to
define bidirectional protocol mappings.
The architectural assumptions underlying such protocol mappings are
provided in [I-D.saintandre-sip-xmpp-core], including mapping of
addresses and error conditions. This document specifies mappings for
multiparty text chat sessions (often called "groupchat");
specifically, this document defines a mapping between the XMPP Multi-
User Chat (MUC) extension [XEP-0045] and the SIP-based Message
Session Relay Protocol [RFC4975].
Both MUC and MSRP contain a large set of features, such as the
ability to administer rooms, kick and ban users, reserve a room
nickname, change room subject, enable room moderation, and destroy
the room. This document covers only a basic subset of groupchat
features: joining the room, establishing or changing a room nickname,
modifying presence information within the room, sending a message to
all participants, sending a private message to a single participant,
and leaving the room. Future documents might define mapping of
additional features beyond this core.
The discussion venue for this document is the mailing list of the
DISPATCH WG; visit https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dispatch for
subscription information and discussion archives.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
[RFC2119].
3. XMPP MUC to MSRP Multi-party Messaging Session
This section describes how to map an XMPP MUC session to an MSRP
Multi-party Messaging session.

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
Detailed protocol flows are provided in the following sections.
3.1. Enter Room
When the XMPP user (say, juliet@example.com) wants to join a multi-
user chat room (say, "verona@chat.example.org"), she sends a
stanza to that chat room. In her request she also
specifies the nickname she wants to use within the room (say,
"JuliC"); in XMPP this Room Nickname is the resourcepart of an
Occupant JID (thus "verona@chat.example.org/JuliC"). The joining
client signals its ability to speak the multi-user chat protocol by
including in the initial presence stanza an empty element
qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc' namespace.
Example: (F1) Juliet enters room
Upon receiving such a presence stanza, the XMPP server to which
Juliet has authenticated attempts to (a) deliver the stanza to a
local domain or (b) route the presence stanza to the remote domain
that services the hostname in the 'to' attribute. Naturally, in this
document we assume that the hostname in the 'to' attribute is a
groupchat-aware SIP/MSRP service hosted by a separate server.
As specified in [RFC6121], the XMPP server needs to determine the
identity of the remote domain, which it does by performing one or
more DNS SRV lookups [RFC2782]. For presence stanzas, the order of
lookups recommended by [RFC6121] is to first try the "_xmpp-server"
service as specified in [RFC6120] and to then try the "_im" service
as specified in [RFC3861]. Here we assume that the first lookup will
fail but that the second lookup will succeed and return a resolution
"_im._simple.example.org", since we have already assumed that the
example.org hostname is running a SIP instant messaging service.
(Note: The XMPP server might have previously determined that the
remote domain is a SIMPLE server, in which case it would not need to
perform the SRV lookups; the caching of such information is a matter
of implementation and local service policy, and is therefore out of
scope for this document.)
Once the XMPP server (example.com) has determined that the remote
domain is serviced by a SIMPLE server, it hands the XMPP presence
stanza off to its local XMPP-to-SIP gateway code (this might be a
connection manager or a dedicated component at, say,
x2s.example.com), which transforms the presence stanza into SIP
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires November 3, 2013 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
syntax and routes it to the remote conference server
(chat.example.org).
Because a multi-user chat service accepts the presence stanza shown
above as a request to enter a room, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway
transforms it in a SIP INVITE request.
Example: (F2) Juliet enters room (SIP conversion)
INVITE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0

a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
a=path:msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
Here the Session Description Protocol offer specifies the MSRP-aware
XMPP-to-SIP gateway on the XMPP side as well as other particulars of
the session.
There is no direct mapping for the MSRP URIs. In fact MSRP URIs
identify a session of instant messages at a particular device;
they are ephemeral and have no meaning outside the scope of that
session. The authority component of the MSRP URI MUST contain the
XMPP-to-SIP gateway hostname or numeric IP address and an explicit
port number.
As specified in [I-D.saintandre-sip-xmpp-core], the mapping of XMPP
syntax elements to SIP and [RFC4566] syntax elements is as shown in
the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned are
undefined.)

Here we assume that the chat room server accepts the session
establishment. It includes the 'isfocus' and other relevant feature
tags in the Contact header field of the response. The chat room
server also includes an answer session description that acknowledges
the choice of media and contains the extensions specified in
[I-D.ietf-simple-chat].
Example: (F3) the chat room accepts the session establishment

Upon receiving such a response, the SIMPLE server or associated SIP-
to-XMPP gateway sends a SIP ACK to the SIP user.
Example: (F4) Gateway sends ACK to the chat room server

From: ;tag=786
Call-ID: 711609sa
3.2. Setting up a Nickname
If the chat room server accepted the session, the SIMPLE server or
associated SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST set up the nickname as received
in the presence stanza. The nickname is set up using the extension
specified in [I-D.ietf-simple-chat].

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
The chat room server analyzes the existing allocation of nicknames,
and detects that the nickname proposal is already provided to another
participant by the conference. In this case the MSRP conference
server answers with a 425 response.
Example: (F6) chat room does not accept the nickname proposal
MSRP a786hjs2 425 Nickname usage failed

From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a response, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST
translate it in an XMPP presence stanza of type "error" specifying a
error condition.
Example: (F7) conflict error for nickname

The SIP - XMPP gateway then sends a SIP REFER request to the MSRP
conference server indicating who needs to be invited in the Refer-To
header, as per RFC 4579 (sec 5.5)

3.6. Presence Broadcast
If the multi-user chat service accepts the request to enter a room,
the XMPP user expects to receive back presence information from all
the existing occupants of the room. So the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST
subscribe to the Conference Event package [RFC4575] on the MSRP
conference server. When the subscription is completed the MSRP
conference server sends a NOTIFY with the presence information from
all the existing occupants of the room back to the XMPP-to-SIP
gateway.

3.7.1. Sending a Message to All Occupants
When Juliet wants to sends a message to all other occupants in the
room, she sends a message of type "groupchat" to the
itself (in our example, ).
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example: (F13) Juliet sends a Message to all occupants
Who knows where Romeo is?
Upon receiving such stanza message, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST
translate it into an MSRP SEND message.
Example: (F14) Gateway transforms XMPP message to MSRP
MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp

Upon receiving the SEND request, if the request either contains a
Failure-Report header field value of "yes" or does not contain a

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
Failure-Report header at all, the MSRP conference server MUST
immediately generate and send a response.

From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
-------d93kswow$
Since the XMPP room could be moderated and an XMPP user cannot be
sure whether his message has been accepted or not (without receiving
it back from the server), [XEP-0045] states that the sender needs to
receive back the same message it has generated. So in this scenario
the XMPP-to-SIP gateway has to reflect the message back to the
sender.
3.7.2. Sending a Private Message
Since each occupant has a unique JID, Juliet can send a "private
message" to a selected occupant through the service by sending a
message to the user's occupant JID. The XMPP message type SHOULD be
"chat" and MUST NOT be "groupchat", but MAY be left unspecified.
If the XMPP-to-SIP gateway has support for private messaging it MUST
advertise that fact by adding a "private-messages" value to the
a=chatroom SDP attribute as stated by [I-D.ietf-simple-chat].
a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
The following examples show an exchange of a private message.
Example: Juliet sends private message
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Upon receiving such stanza message, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST
translate it in an MSRP SEND message.

-------a786hjs2$
3.8. Exit Room
If Juliet decides to exit the multi-user chat room, her client sends
a presence stanza of type "unavailable" to the occupant JID she is
currently using in the room (here ).
Example: (F17) Juliet exits room
Upon receiving such a stanza, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway terminates the
SIP session by sending a SIP BYE to the MSRP conference server. The
MSRP conference server then responds with a 200 OK.
Juliet MAY include a custom exit message in the presence stanza of
type "unavailable", in which case it SHOULD be broadcasted to other
participants using the methods described above.
Example: (F17) Juliet exiting a chatroom

If the XMPP presence stanza is received before the SIP SUBSCRIBE
dialog is established for the "conference" event the server SHOULD
cache the participants list until the subscription is established and
it's delivered in a SIP NOTIFY request.
4.1. Enter Room
When the MSRP user ("Romeo") wants to join a multi-user chat room
("Verona"), he first has to start the SIP session by sending out a
SIP INVITE request containing an offered session description that
includes an MSRP media line accompanied by a mandatory "path" and
"chatroom" attributes. The MSRP media line is also accompanied by an
"accept-types" attribute specifing support for a Message/CPIM top
level wrapper for the MSRP message.
Example: (F1) SIP user starts the session
INVITE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
To:
From: ;tag=786
Call-ID: 742510no
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: [length]
c=IN IP4 s2x.example.net
m=message 7313 TCP/MSRP *
a=accept-types:message/cpim text/plain text/html
a=path:msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
a=chatroom
Upon receiving the INVITE, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway needs to determine
the identity of the remote domain, which it does by performing one or
more DNS SRV lookups [RFC2782]. The SIP-to-XMPP gateway SHOULD
resolve the address present in the To header of the INVITE to an im
URI, then follow the rules in [RFC3861] regarding the "_im" SRV
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires November 3, 2013 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
service for the target domain contained in the To header. If SRV
address resolution fails for the "_im" service, the SIP-to-XMPP
gateway MAY attempt a lookup for the "_xmpp-server" service as
specified in [RFC6120] or MAY return an error to the sender (i.e. 502
Bad Gateway).
If SRV address resolution succeeds, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway SHOULD
answer successfuly with a SIP 200 OK (F2), but it MUST NOT yet
translate the request into an XMPP presece stanza before the MSRP
user set up the nickname.

Use-Nickname: "romeo"
-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving the MSRP NICKNAME request, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway is
responsible to generate an XMPP presence stanza and sending it to the
hostname hosting that chat room.
Example: (F5) Romeo entering a chatroom
If the room does not already contain another user with the nickname,
the service accept the access. So if the GW does not receive any
stanza of type "error" specifying a error condition, it
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires November 3, 2013 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
MUST answer the MSRP nickname proposal with a 200 OK response (F6).
Example: (F6)
MSRP a786hjs2 200 OK
To-Path: path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp

The foregoing section assumed that the requested nickname did not
conflict with any existing nicknames. This section describes the
handling of a nickname conflict.

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
If Romeo decides to changing her nickname within the room, he MUST
send a new MSRP NICKNAME request. In fact modification of the
nickname in MSRP is not different from the initial reservation and
usage of a nickname.
Example: (F1) the MSRP user changes the nickname
MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
To-Path: path:msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Use-Nickname: "montecchi"
-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such message, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST translate
it in a XMPP presence stanza.
Example: (F2) Juliet changing the nickname
4.4. Inviting Another User to a Room
To follow.
4.5. Presence Broadcast
If the multi-user chat service is able to add the user to the room,
it sends presence from all the existing occupants' room JIDs to the
new occupants's full JID, including extended presence information
about roles in an element.
Example: (F7) chat room presence information translated in XMPP
Upon receiving such a response, if the MSRP has already completed the
subscription to the Conference Event package [RFC4575], the XMPP-to-
SIP gateway MUST translate it in a SIP NOTIFY request.

4.6. Exchanging Messages
Once the user has joined the chat room, the user can exchange an
unbounded number of messages both public and private.
The mapping of MSRP syntax elements to XMPP syntax elements SHOULD be
as shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not
mentioned are undefined.)

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
4.6.1. Sending a Message to All Occupants
When Romeo wants to sends a message to all other occupants in the
room, he sends a MSRP SEND request to itself (i.e.
in our example).
Example: (F12) Romeo sends a message to the chat room
MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
To-Path: path:msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Message-ID: 87652492
Byte-Range: 1-*/*
Content-Type: message/cpim
To:
From:
DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
Content-Type: text/plain
Romeo is here!
-------a786hjs2$
Upon receiving the SEND request, if the request either contains a
Failure-Report header field value of "yes" or does not contain a
Failure-Report header at all, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST
immediately translate it in a XMPP message stanza (F13) and then
generate and send an MSRP response (F14).
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example: (F13) Romeo sends a Message to all occupants
Romeo is here!
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires November 3, 2013 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
Example: (F14) the SIP-to-XMPP send the MSRP response
MSRP d93kswow 200 OK
To-Path: path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
From-Path: path:msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
-------d93kswow$
4.6.2. Sending a Private Message
Romeo can send a "private message" to a selected occupant via the
chat room service by sending a message to the occupant's room
nickname.
The following examples show an exchange of a private message.
Example: (F12) Romeo sends a private message
MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
To-Path: path:msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Message-ID: 87652492
Byte-Range: 1-*/*
Content-Type: message/cpim
To:
From:
DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
Content-Type: text/plain
I am here!!!
-------a786hjs2$
Example: (F13) Juliet sends a private message
I am here!!!
4.7. Exit Room
If Romeo decides to exit the multi-user chat room, his client sends
SIP BYE to the chat room.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires November 3, 2013 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat May 2013
Example: (F11) Romeo terminates the session
BYE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
Max-Forwards: 70
From: ;tag=786
To: ;tag=534
Call-ID: 742510no
Cseq: 1 BYE
Content-Length: 0
Upon receiving the SIP BYE, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway translates it in
a presence stanza (F19) and sends it to the XMPP chat room service.
Then the SIP-to-XMPP gateway responds with a 200 OK to the MSRP user.
Example: (F19) Juliet exiting a chatroom
5. Open Issues
The following issues remain to be closed.
1. Define a full mapping between RFC 4575 and MUC.
2. Define how to send to the room jid with the subject child set
(e.g., do we need to send it in a different presence stanza than
step F11?)
3. Specify how to deal with conflicts between SIP display name and
XMPP nickname (e.g., use only display-text?).
4. Specify how to map the conference-info attribute to XMPP
and . In XMPP roles are current privileges
within the room while, affiliations are kept permanently in
different sessions (they are the default for a given user).
5. When joining via SIP, the gateway could use a temporary nickname
and directly translate the request into a XMPP presence stanza.
6. The SIP-to-XMPP gateway will receive back the reflected message
from the Chat room service. Does the SIP-to-XMPP gateway need to
translate it back to the MSRP user or not?
7. If the room is semi-anonymous, publish the occupant JID instead?
Always set the occupant JID as the 'user' and the real JID as an
'endpoint'?
8. Should a private message be addressed to the occupant JID? If
so, it would need to be translated to a GRUU (e.g.,
sip:verona@chat.example.org;gr=JuliC).
