Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 2] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview Within the IETF, work on instant messaging has proceeded on two technologies that conform to the requirements defined in [IMP-REQS]: o The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol [XMPP], which consists of a formalization of the core XML streaming protocols developed originally by the Jabber open-source community; the relevant specifications are [XMPP] for the XML streaming layer and [XMPP-IM] for basic presence and instant messaging extensions, including both single messages via XMPP stanzas of type "normal" and messaging sessions via XMPP stanzas of type "chat". o Various extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol [SIP] for instant messaging and presence, as developed within the SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) Working Group; the relevant specifications for instant messaging are [SIP-MSG] for single messages (also called "pager-mode" messaging) and [MSRP] for messaging sessions (also called "session-mode" messaging). Because both of these technologies have been implemented and deployed over the Internet, it is important to clearly define bidirectional mappings between them. Work on such mappings began with [XMPP-SIMPLE], which defines mappings for addresses, presence, and single messages. This document extends that work by defining a mapping for one-to-one chat or messaging sessions. Both XMPP and SIP/SIMPLE technologies enable end users to send "instant messages" to other end users. The term "instant message" usually refers to messages sent between two end-users for delivery in close to real time (rather than messages that are stored and forwarded to the intended recipient upon request). Generally, there are three kinds of instant messages: 1. Single messages, which are sent from the sender to the recipient outside the context of any one-to-one chat session or multi-user text conference. The message is immediately delivered and not stored in an inbox. In XMPP a single message is a stanza of type "normal" as specified in [XMPP-IM]. In SIP/SIMPLE a single message is sent via the MESSAGE method as specified in [MSRP]. 2. One-to-one chat messages, which are sent from the sender to the recipient (i.e., one-to-one) in the context of a "chat session" between the two entities. In XMPP a chat message is a stanza of type "chat". In SIP/SIMPLE a chat message is sent Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 3] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 using an MSRP session. 3. Groupchat messages, which are sent from a sender to multiple recipients (i.e., 2 or more) in the context of a "multi-user chat session" or "text conference". In XMPP a groupchat message is a stanza of type "groupchat" that is reflected from the sender to multiple recipients by a multi-user chat service as defined in [XEP-0045]. In SIP/SIMPLE a groupchat message is reflected from the sender to multiple recipients by a conference server that uses MSRP to handle groupchat sessions. This document only covers the scenario #2 above for converting XMPP messages of type "chat" to their corresponding SIP INVITE - MSRP message types on the SIP/SIMPLE side. As in [XMPP-SIMPLE], the approach taken here is to directly map syntax and semantics from one protocol to another. One-to-one chat sessions using XMPP message stanzas of type "chat" are specified in [XMPP-IM], and a method for formally negotiating such a session is specified in [XEP-0155]. One-to-one chat sessions using the SIP MESSAGE method, the SIP INVITE method, and the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) are specified in [SIP-MSG] and [MSRP]. In particular, this document defines a mapping between XMPP chat sessions (as specified in [XMPP-IM] and [XEP-0155]) and the Message Session Relay Protocol (as specified in [MSRP]). 1.2. Architectural Assumptions In this section we remind the reader of the Architectural Assumptions already presented in [XMPP-SIMPLE], with some small changes necessary to support the MSRP scenario. XMPP IM technologies consist of three element types: Clients, Servers and Gateways. Each client can source and sink messages. Each Server relays messages between Clients and from/to Gateways and handles presence information. The Gateway provides transformations between XMPP and other IM protocols. SIP/SIMPLE technologies employ four element types: Clients, Proxies, Presence Servers and Gateways. Each Client can source and sink messages. A Proxy server relays messages between Clients and/or Gateways. SIMPLE defines separable Presence Servers to maintain presence about Client users. Gateways provide transformations between SIMPLE and other IM protocols. Protocol mapping between XMPP and SIP SIMPLE may occur in a number of different entities, depending on the architecture of messaging deployments. For instance, protocol translation could occur within a multi-protocol server, within a multi-protocol client, or within a Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 4] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 gateway that acts as a dedicated protocol translator. This document assumes that the protocol translation will occur within a gateway. Specifically, we assume that the protocol translation will occur within an "XMPP-to-MSRP gateway" that translates XMPP syntax and semantics on behalf of an XMPP service when communicating with SIP SIMPLE services and/or within an "MSRP-to-XMPP gateway" that translates SIP syntax and semantics on behalf of a SIP SIMPLE service when communicating with XMPP services. We further assume that protocol translation will occur within a gateway in the source domain, so that messages and presence information generated by the user of an XMPP service will be translated by a gateway within the trust domain of that XMPP service, and messages and presence information generated by the user of an MSRP service will be translated by a gateway within the trusted domain of that MSRP service. An architectural diagram for a typical gateway deployment is shown below, where the entities have the following significance and the "#" character is used to show the boundary of a trusted domain: o juliet@example.com -- an XMPP user. o example.com -- a XMPP service. o x2m.example.com -- an XMPP-to-MSRP gateway. o romeo@example.net -- an MSRP user. o example.net -- an MSRP service. o m2x.example.net -- an MSRP-to-XMPP gateway. ##################################################################### # # # # +-- m2x.example.net---#------------- example.com # # | # | | # # example.net------------------#--- x2m.example.com | # # | # | # # | # | # # romeo@example.net # juliet@example.com # # # # ##################################################################### 1.3. Connection Maintenance XMPP makes use of long-lived TCP connections. If mobility affecting Layer 3 causes a dropped connection, the connection must be re- established. If mobility preserves the IP address, the TCP connection will be dropped. Any TLS session and SASL associations must be re-established if the TCP connection is dropped. XMPP binds directly to TCP in the core specification, so the TCP session must remain open for the entire duration of the chat/conversation. The Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 5] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 XMPP Standards Foundation does define protocol extensions enabling transport of XMPP traffic over HTTP (refer to [XEP-0124] and [XEP-0206]), so that individual messages are carried using HTTP and are more robust in environments such as mobile networks, allowing for better recovery if a TCP session is broken. SIMPLE is similar when using MSRP. The Message Session Relay Protocol [MSRP] is a protocol for transmitting instant messages (IM) in the context of a session. The protocol specification describes how the session can be negotiated and established with an offer or answer [OFFER] using the Session Description Protocol [SDP]. In SIMPLE, this exchange is carried using SIP as the signaling protocol. After the TCP connection is established, if it fails for any reason, then an MSRP endpoint MAY choose to re-create such session using a new SDP exchange in a SIP re-INVITE. SIMPLE also uses MESSAGE request for transporting instant messaging outside the context of a session. The MESSAGE request is sent inside the signaling path without establishing any dedicate connection. 1.4. Terminology This document inherits terminology from [MSRP], [SIP], [XMPP], and [XMPP-IM]. The capitalized 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 [TERMS]. 1.5. Acknowledgements Some text in this document was borrowed from [XMPP-SIMPLE] and from [XEP-0155]. 2. Message Sessions 2.1. Overview The traditional model for one-to-one chat "session" in Jabber/XMPP is for a user to simply send a message to a contact with a thread ID, but without any formal negotiation of session parameter. This informal approach to session initiation in XMPP can be mapped both to SIP pager-mode messaging using the SIP MESSAGE method (as documented in [XMPP-SIMPLE]) and to a MSRP chat session. How the Gateway chooses to map the XMPP chat session in the SIP side is a matter of the implementation. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 6] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 However, in XMPP it also possibile to formally request a chat session and negotiate its parameters (e.g., security, privacy, message logging) before beginning the session. The protocol for doing so is defined in [XEP-0155]. In this case, the XMPP chat session should be translated into a MSRP session. This document covers the mapping of both informal and formally- negotiated XMPP chat session into a MSRP session. 2.2. XMPP Formal Chat Session to MSRP XMPP Protocol offers two ways an XMPP user can initiate a 1-1 chat: the first approach doesn't establish a session (this method is referred to the "informal session" approach); the second approach instead involves explicit negotiation of a session (this method is referred to the "formal session" approach). This section describes how to map an XMPP "formal session" to an MSRP session. The XMPP formal session is based on the protocol described in [XEP-0155], which enable the initiation, renegotiation, and termination of a format chat session on the XMPP side. This approach maps to the semantic of the SIP INVITE and BYE methods. Saint-Andre, et al.

Initiating a Formal Session When the XMPP user ("Juliet") wants to initiate a negotiated session with a SIP user ("Romeo"), she sends a stanza to Romeo containing a child qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg' namespace. The stanza must not contain a stanza type should be "normal". The stanza must contain a element for tracking purposes (where the newly-generated ThreadID is unique to the proposed session). The encapsulated data form shall contain a FORM_TYPE field whose type is "hidden" and whose value is "urn:xmpp:ssn"; it must also contain a boolean field named "accept". The XMPP user may request a session with a specific resource of the contact. However in this document the resource identifier will be ignored and discarded for cross-system interworking. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 8] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F1) Juliet starts a formal session: 711609sa Open chat with Juliet? urn:xmpp:ssn true en Upon receiving such a session request, the XMPP server to which Juliet has authenticated attempts to deliver the request to a local user or attempts to route the request to the foreign domain that services the hostname in the 'to' attribute. Naturally, in this document we assume that the hostname in the 'to' attribute is an IM- aware SIP service hosted by a separate server. As specified in [XMPP-IM], the XMPP server needs to determine the identity of the foreign domain, which it does by performing one or more [DNS-SRV] lookups. For message stanzas, the order of lookups recommended by [XMPP-IM] is to first try the "_xmpp-server" service as specified in [XMPP] and to then try the "_im" service as specified in [IMP-SRV]. Here we assume that the first lookup will fail but that the second lookup will succeed and return a resolution "_im._simple.example.net.", since we have already assumed that the example.net hostname is running a SIP instant messaging service. (Note: The XMPP server may have previously determined that the foreign 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.) Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 9] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Once the XMPP server has determined that the foreign domain is serviced by a SIMPLE server, it must determine how to proceed. We here assume that the XMPP server contains or has available to it an XMPP-MSRP gateway. The XMPP server would then deliver the message stanza to the XMPP-MSRP gateway. The XMPP-MSRP gateway is then responsible for translating the XMPP session into an MSRP session. Example: (F2) Juliet starts a formal session (SIP transformation): INVITE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0 To: From: ;tag=786 Subject: Open chat with Juliet? Call-ID: 711609sa Content-Type: application/sdp c=IN IP4 x2m.example.com m=message 7654 TCP/MSRP * a=accept-types:text/plain a=lang:en a=lang:it a=path:msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp There is no direct mapping for the MSRP URIs. In fact MSRP URIs identify a session of instant message at a particular device; they are ephemeral and have not meaning outside the scope of that session. The authority component of the MSRP URI MUST contain the XMPP-MSRP gateway hostname or numeric IP address and an explicit port number. Native XMPP supports text (i.e., UTF-8) only, so the "accept-types" attribute that follows an MSRP media line MUST indicate text/plain as the only media-type that is acceptable to the endpoint. As specified in [XMPP-SIMPLE], the mapping of XMPP syntax elements to SIP and SDP syntax elements SHOULD be as shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned are undefined).

Accepting a Formal Session The SIP user agent Romeo receiving the SIP invitation, containing an offered session description that includes a session of MSRP, accepts the invitation and includes an answer session description that acknowledges the choice of media. Example: (F3) Romeo accepts the request SIP/2.0 200 OK To: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=087js From: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786 Call-ID: 711609sa Content-Type: application/sdp c=IN IP4 example.net m=message 12763 TCP/MSRP * a=accept-types:text/plain a=lang:it a=path:msrp://example.net:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp Upon receiving such a response, the MSRP-XMPP gateway SHOULD remember that this is a response to a SIP transaction related to an XMPP-MSRP translation. The gateway is responsible for translating the response into an XMPP message stanza and deliver it from the SIP user back to the XMPP user deliver. The MSRP-XMPP gateway MUST include in the response translation values for all the fields that the XMPP request indicated are required. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 11] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F4) Romeo accepts the request (XMPP translation) <message type='normal' from='romeo@example.net' to='juliet@example.com'> <thread>711609sa</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='accept'><value>true</value></field> <field var='language'><value>it</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> The gateway MUST also send a SIP ACK to the SIP user. Example: (F5) The GW sends the ACK to Romeos UA: ACK sip:romeo@example.com SIP/2.0 To: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=087js From: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786 Call-ID: 711609sa If Romeo accepted the session Juliet MUST either complete or cancel the stanza session negotiation. The user's client SHOULD verify that the selected values of the fields are acceptable before completing the stanza session negotiation -- and confirming that the session is open -- by replying with the form 'type' attribute set to 'result'. The form MUST contain the FORM_TYPE field and the "accept" field set to "1" or "true". The user MAY include other content "e.g., a <body/> element in the confirmation stanza: Saint-Andre, et al.

The XMPP-MSRP gateway must create a transaction identifier and use this and the SEND method to create an MSRP request start line. The XMPP 'id' attribute is not required in the protocol and there is not a way to enforce its use for messages. It is RECOMMENDED to add it as a negotiable item in the XEP-0155, however it may not be present within the <message/> stanza, in this case the XMPP-MSRP MUST generate a new unique Message-ID. Note: If the XMPP user has not explicitly requested message receipts during the negotiation, it is RECOMMENDED that the XMPP-MSRP inserts a Failure-Report header field value of "no" during the creation of a SEND request. The XMPP user can include the requested for message receipts using the Message Receipts XMPP protocol extension [XEP-0184]. As specified in [XMPP-SIMPLE], the mapping of XMPP syntax elements to MSRP syntax elements SHOULD be as shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned are undefined).

However messages sent using MSRP can be delivered in several SEND requests, so when the XMPP-MSRP gateway receives a message longer then 2048, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED it delivers this message using as few chunks (at least 2048 octets long) as possible. 2.2.3. Terminating a Formal Session If Juliet decides to terminate the negotiated chat session, her client sends a <message/> stanza to Romeo containing a data form of type "submit". The <message/> stanza MUST contain a <thread/> element with the same XML character data as the original initiation request. The data form containing a boolean field named "terminate" set to a value of "1" or "true". Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 14] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F8) Juliet terminates the chat session <message type='normal' from='juliet@example.com' to='romeo@example.net'> <thread>711609sa</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='terminate'><value>1</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> Upon receiving such stanza terminating the chat session, the gateway terminates the SIP session by sending a SIP BYE to tear down the MSRP session with Romeo's client. Romeo's SIP client then responds with a 200 OK. Example: (F9) Juliet terminates the chat session (SIP translation) BYE romeo@example.com sip: SIP/2.0 Max-Forwards: 70 From: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786 To: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=087js Call-ID: 711609sa Cseq: 1 BYE Content-Length: 0 Example: (F10) Romeo terminates the chat session SIP/2.0 200 OK From: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786 To: <sip:romeo@example.net>; tag=087js Call-ID: 711609sa CSeq: 1 BYE Content-Length: 0 Upon receiving the 200 OK, the GW acknowledges the termination of the chat session on the XMPP side by sending a <message/> containing a data form of type "result", and the value of the "terminate" field set to "1" or "true". The client must mirror the <thread/> value it received. Saint-Andre, et al.

The data form MUST contain the FORM_TYPE field and the "accept" field set to "0" or "false". It is reccomended that the form does not contain any other field even if the request indicated they are required. The client MAY include a reason in the <body/> child of the <message/> stanza.

Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 17] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 The content of the Warning header field present in the SIP response SHOULD be copied in the <body/> child of the <message/> stanza. If the Warning header it is not present then the descriptive phrase of the SIP response can be used. Example: (F4) User declines offer and specifies reason <message type='normal' from='romeo@example.net' to='juliet@example.com'> <thread>711609sa</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='accept'><value>0</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> 2.3. XMPP Informal Session to MSRP The "informal session" approach is to simply send someone a <message type='chat'/> without start any session negotiation before (as described in [XMPP-IM]). The XMPP "informal session" approach maps very well into a SIP MESSAGE request, as described in [XMPP-SIMPLE]. Although the mapping to a SIP Message is straightforward, it is also possible to map an informal session to an MSRP session. The mapping will be provided in a future version of this specification. 2.4. MSRP to XMPP formal session Unlike the XMPP protocol, the MSRP protocol only offers one way to initiate a Chat session, that is typically initiated using the Session Description Protocol [SDP] via the SIP offer/answer mechanism [OFFER]. This section will describe how to map a MSRP Chat session to either a formal or informal XMPP session. Saint-Andre, et al.

Initiating a Session When Romeo wants to start an MSRP message session with Juliet, 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" attribute and corresponding URIs. The MSRP media line is also accompanied by an "accept-types" attribute used to specify the only media-types acceptable for Romeo (i.e., text/plain). In addition to plain text messages, MSRP is able to carry arbitrary (binary) Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions [MIME] compliant content, such as images or video clips. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 19] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F1) SIP user starts the session: INVITE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0 To: <sip:juliet@example.com> From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=576 Subject: Open chat with Romeo? Call-ID: 742507no Content-Type: application/sdp c=IN IP4 example.net m=message 7313 TCP/MSRP * a=accept-types:text/plain a=lang:en a=lang:it a=path:msrp://example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp Upon receiving the INVITE, the MSRP-XMPP gateway needs to determine the identity of the foreign domain, which it does by performing one or more DNS SRV lookups [DNS-SRV]. The gateway SHOULD resolve the address present in the To header of the INVITE to an im, then follow the rules in [IMP-SRV] regarding the "_im" SRV service for the target domain contained in the To header. If SRV address resolution fails for the "_im" service, the gateway MAY attempt a lookup for the "_xmpp-server" service as specified in [XMPP] or MAY return an error to the sender (i.e. 502 Bad Gateway). If SVR address resolution succeeds, the gateway is responsible for translating the request into an XMPP message stanza to initiate a negotiated session from the SIP user to the XMPP user. Saint-Andre, et al.

Accepting a Session If the request is accepted then Juliets client MUST include all the fields that were marked as required in the request message. In the example below, we assume that Juliet accepts the session and specifies that she prefers to speak Italian with Romeo. Example: (F3) Juliet accepts session and specifies parameters: <message type='normal' from='juliet@example.com' to='romeo@example.net'> <thread>742507no</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='accept'><value>true</value></field> <field var='language'><value>it</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> Upon receiving such a response, the MSRP-XMPP gateway SHOULD remember that this is a response to a stanza related to an MSRP-XMPP translation. The gateway is responsible for translating the response into a SIP response and deliver it from the XMPP user back to the SIP user. Example: (F4) Juliet accepts session (SIP translation) SIP/2.0 200 OK To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=534 From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=576 Call-ID: 742507no Content-Type: application/sdp c=IN IP4 m2x.example.net m=message 8763 TCP/MSRP * a=accept-types:text/plain a=lang:it a=path:msrp://m2x.example.net:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 22] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 2.4.3. Completing the Transaction In this case, the 200 OK is routed back and is received by Romeo UA. Finally, Romeos client sends an acknowledgment message, ACK, to Juliets client to confirm the reception of the final response (200 OK). Example: (F5) Romeo sends the ACK: ACK sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0 To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=534 From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=576 Call-ID: 742507no Upon receiving the ACK, the MSRP-XMPP gateway SHOULD remember this is an acknowledgment to an XMPP formal session. The gateway is responsible for translating the acknowledgment into a confirmation stanza, without inserting other content (e.g. a <body/> element can not be inserted). Example: (F6) Romeo sends the ACK (XMPP translation) <message type='normal' from='romeo@example.net' to='juliet@example.com'> <thread>742507no</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='result'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='accept'><value>true</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> 2.4.4.

Terminating a Session When Romeo wants to terminate the Session, he is required to send a SIP BYE request. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 24] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F9) Romeo terminates the session BYE juliet@example.com sip: SIP/2.0 Max-Forwards: 70 From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=576 To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=534 Call-ID: 742507no Cseq: 1 BYE Content-Length: 0 Upon receiving the SIP BYE request, the GW SHOULD translate the request to a <message/> stanza containing a data form of type "submit". The <message/> element MUST contain a <thread/> element with the same XML character data as the original initiation request. The data form containing a boolean field named "terminate" should be set to a value of "1" or "true". Example: (F10) Romeo terminates the session (XMPP translation) <message type='normal' from='romeo@example.net' to='juliet@example.com'> <thread>742507no</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='terminate'><value>1</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> Juliet explicitly acknowledges the termination of the chat session on the XMPP side by sending a <message/> containing a data form of type "result", and the value of the "terminate" field set to "1" or "true". The client MUST mirror the <thread/> value it received. Saint-Andre, et al. Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 25] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 Example: (F11) Juliet acknowledges the termination of the session. <message type='normal' from='juliet@example.com' to=='romeo@example.net'> <thread>742507no</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='result'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='terminate'><value>1</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> Upon receiving the acknowledgment message, the GW SHOULD translate it to a SIP answer 200 OK.

Expires May 14, 2008 [Page 26] Internet-Draft XMPP-MSRP Interworking November 2007 invitation is sent, the SIP user decides to cancel it. The XMPP-MSRP GW will receive the CANCEL request and using the the Call-ID, To, From and CSeq (sequence number only) header field values as a guide, will issue an XMPP Stanza session termination request to the XMPP user to cancel the XMPP formal session (assuming that it was already set up). Once the XMPP-MSRP GW receives an ACK stanza message for the session termination, the XMPP-MSRP GW will respond with a status of 200 (OK) back to the SIP user. It is important to note that if the SIP session transaction does not exist, the XMPP-MSRP GW will return a status of 481 (Transaction Does Not Exist) back to the SIP User. 2.4.7. Rejecting a transaction SIP User M2X GW XMPP User | | | |(F1)(SIP) INVITE | | |-------------------------->| | | |(F2)(XMPP) Stanza session request | |------------------------->| | |(F3)(XMPP) Stanza session decline | |<-------------------------| |(F4)(SIP) 4xx/6xx | | |<--------------------------| | Another common scenario occurs when the XMPP UA is currently not willing or able to accept a formal session request. The XMPP UA SHOULD decline the invitation. The data form MUST contain the FORM_TYPE field and the "accept" field set to "0" or "false". It is RECOMMENDED that the form does not contain any other fields even if the request indicated they are required. The client MAY include a reason in the <body/> child of the <message/> stanza: Example: (F3) User declines offer and specifies reason <message type='normal' from='juliet@example.com' to='romeo@example.net'> <thread>742507no</thread> <feature xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg'> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'> <field var='FORM_TYPE'> <value>urn:xmpp:ssn</value> </field> <field var='accept'><value>0</value></field> </x> </feature> </message> Saint-Andre, et al.
