   Interworking between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): One-to-One Text Chat
                   draft-saintandre-sip-xmpp-chat-06

Abstract

   This document defines a bidirectional protocol mapping for the
   exchange of instant messages in the context of a one-to-one chat
   session between a user of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and a
   user of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).
   Specifically for SIP text chat, this document specifies a mapping to
   the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP).

Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Chat             June 2013


1.  Introduction

   Both the Session Initiation Protocol [RFC3261] and the Extensible
   Messaging and Presence Protocol [RFC6120] can be used for the purpose
   of one-to-one 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
   one-to-one text chat sessions (sometimes called "session-mode"
   messaging); in particular, this document specifies mappings between
   XMPP messages of type "chat" and the Message Session Relay Protocol
   [RFC4975].  Mappings for single instant messages and groupchat are
   provided in separate documents.

   The approach taken here is to directly map syntax and semantics from
   one protocol to another.  The mapping described herein depends on the
   protocols defined in the following specifications:

   o  XMPP chat sessions using message stanzas of type "chat" are
      specified in [RFC6121].
   o  SIP-based chat sessions using the SIP INVITE and SEND request
      types are specified in [RFC4975].

   In SIMPLE, a chat session is formally negotiated just as any other
   session type is using SIP.  By contrast, a one-to-one chat "session"
   in XMPP is an informal construct and is not formally negotiated: a
   user simply sends a message of type "chat" to a contact, the contact
   then replies to the message, and the sum total of such messages
   exchanged during a defined period of time is considered to be a chat
   session.  To overcome the disparity between these approaches, a
   gateway that wishes to map between SIP and XMPP for one-to-one chat
   sessions needs to maintain some additional state, as described below.

   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 to MSRP

   In XMPP, the "informal session" approach is to simply send someone a
   <message/> of type "chat" without starting any session negotiation
   ahead of time (as described in [RFC6121]).  The XMPP "informal
   session" approach maps very well into a SIP MESSAGE request, as
   described in [I-D.saintandre-sip-xmpp-core].  However, the XMPP
   informal session approach can also be mapped to MSRP if the XMPP-to-
   SIP gateway maintains additional state.

   The order of events is as follows.

   XMPP User                      GW                      SIP User
       |                          |                          |
       |(F1) (XMPP) Chat message  |                          |
       |------------------------->|                          |
       |                          |(F2) (SIP) INVITE         |
       |                          |------------------------->|
       |                          |(F3) (SIP) 200 OK         |

       |                          |------------------------->|
       |                          |(F5) (MSRP) SEND          |
       |                          |------------------------->|
       |                          |(F6) (MSRP) A reply       |
       |                          |<-------------------------|
       |(F7) (XMPP) A reply       |                          |
       |<-------------------------|                          |
       |                          |                          |
       .                          .                          .
       .                          .                          .
       .                          .                          .
       |                          |                          |
       |                          |(F8) (SIP) BYE            |
       |                          |<-------------------------|
       |                          |(F9) (SIP) 200 OK         |
       |                          |------------------------->|
       |                          |                          |

   First the XMPP user would generate an XMPP chat message.

   Example: (F1) Juliet sends an XMPP message

   <message from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
            to='romeo@example.net'
            type='chat'>
     <thread>711609sa</thread>
     <body>Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?</body>
   </message>

   The local SIP-to-XMPP gateway at the SIMPLE server would then
   determine if Romeo supports MSRP.  If so, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway
   would initiate an MSRP session with Romeo on Juliet's behalf.

   Example: (F2) Gateway starts a formal session on behalf of Juliet

   INVITE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0
   To: <sip:romeo@example.net>
   From: <sip:juliet@example.com>
   Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=balcony
   Subject: Open chat with Juliet?
   Call-ID: 711609sa
   Content-Type: application/sdp

   c=IN IP4 x2s.example.com
   m=message 7654 TCP/MSRP *
   a=accept-types:text/plain
   a=lang:en
   a=lang:it
   a=path:msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp

   Here we assume that Romeo accepts the MSRP session request.

   Example: (F3) Romeo accepts the request

   SIP/2.0 200 OK
   To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=balcony
   From: <sip:romeo@example.net>
   Contact: <sip:romeo@example.net>;gr=orchard
   Call-ID: 711609sa
   Content-Type: application/sdp

   c=IN IP4 s2x.example.net
   m=message 12763 TCP/MSRP *
   a=accept-types:text/plain
   a=lang:it
   a=path:msrp://s2x.example.net:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp

   The XMPP-to-SIP gateway then acknowledges the session acceptance on

   behalf of Romeo.

   Example: (F4) Gateway sends ACK to Romeo's UA

   ACK sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
   To: <sip:romeo@example.net>;gr=orchard
   From: <sip:juliet@example.com>
   Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=balcony
   Call-ID: 711609sa

   The XMPP-to-SIP gateway then transforms the original XMPP chat
   message into MSRP.

   Example: (F5) Gateway transforms XMPP message to MSRP

   MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
   From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
   To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
   Message-ID: 87652491
   Byte-Range: 1-25/25
   Content-Type: text/plain

   Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?
   -------a786hjs2$

   Romeo can then send a reply using his MSRP user agent.

   Example: (F6) Romeo sends a reply

   MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
   To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
   From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
   Message-ID: 87652491
   Byte-Range: 1-25/25
   Failure-Report: no
   Content-Type: text/plain

   Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.
   -------a786hjs2$

   The SIP-to-XMPP gateway would then transform that message into
   appropriate XMPP syntax for routing to the intended recipient.

   Example: (F7) Gateway transforms MSRP message to XMPP

   <message from='romeo@example.net/orchard'
            to='juliet@example.com/balcony'
            type='chat'>
     <thread>711609sa</thread>
     <body>Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.</body>
   </message>

   When the MSRP user wishes to end the chat session, the user's MSRP
   client sends a SIP BYE.

   Example: (F8) Romeo terminates the chat session

   BYE juliet@example.com sip: SIP/2.0
   Max-Forwards: 70
   From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=087js
   To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
   Call-ID: 711609sa
   Cseq: 1 BYE
   Content-Length: 0

   The BYE is then acknowledged by the XMPP-to-SIP gateway.

   Example: (F9) Gateway acknowledges termination

   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


4.  MSRP to XMPP

   When an MSRP client sends messages through a gateway to an XMPP
   client that does not support formal sessinos, the order of events is
   as follows.

5.  Security Considerations

   Detailed security considerations for instant messaging protocols are
   given in [RFC2779], for SIP-based instant messaging in [RFC3428] (see



Saint-Andre, et al.     Expires December 15, 2013              [Page 10]

Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Chat             June 2013


   also [RFC3261]), and for XMPP-based instant messaging in [RFC6121]
   (see also [RFC6120]).

   This document specifies methods for exchanging instant messages
   through a gateway that translates between SIP and XMPP.  Such a
   gateway MUST be compliant with the minimum security requirements of
   the instant messaging protocols for which it translates (i.e., SIP
   and XMPP).  The addition of gateways to the security model of instant
   messaging specified in [RFC2779] introduces some new risks.  In
   particular, end-to-end security properties (especially
   confidentiality and integrity) between instant messaging user agents
   that interface through a SIMPLE-XMPP gateway can be provided only if
   common formats are supported.  Specification of those common formats
   is out of scope for this document, although it is recommended to use
   [RFC3862] for instant messages.
