Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Groupchat
draft-ietf-stox-groupchat-00
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 SIP-based
Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) and the XMPP Multi-User Chat
(MUC) extension.

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 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.ietf-stox-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 SIP-based multiparty chat using Message
Session Relay Protocol [RFC4975] as specified in
[I-D.ietf-simple-chat].
Both MUC and MSRP contain a large set of features, such as the
ability to administer rooms, kick and ban users, reserve a nickname
within a room, 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, inviting another user to the room, 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 mappings for additional features
beyond this set.
The discussion venue for this document is the mailing list of the
STOX WG; visit https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/stox 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].
A number of technical terms used here are defined in [RFC3261],
[RFC4975], [RFC6120], and [XEP-0045]. The term "JID" is short for
"Jabber Identifier".
3. XMPP MUC to MSRP Multi-party Messaging Session

| |<-------------------------|
Detailed protocol flows and mappings are provided in the following
sections.
3.1. Enter Room
As defined in the XMPP Multi-User Chat (MUC) extensions [XEP-0045],
when an XMPP user (say, juliet@example.com) wants to join a groupchat
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. 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 "_pres" 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
"_pres._s2x.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
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
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
specialized connection manager within the example.com service or
might be a dedicated component at, say, x2s.example.com), which
transforms the presence stanza into SIP 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
To:
From: "Juliet"

a=accept-types:text/cpim
a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
a=path:msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
a=chatroom
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.ietf-stox-core], the mapping of XMPP syntax
elements to SIP and [RFC4566] syntax elements is as shown in the
following table.

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
Here we assume that the MSRP conference server accepts the session
establishment. It includes the 'isfocus' and other relevant feature
tags in the Contact header field of the response. The MSRP
confernece 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) Chat room accepts session establishment
SIP/2.0 200 OK
From:
To: "Juliet" ;tag=786

a=path:msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
Upon receiving such a response, the SIMPLE server or associated SIP-
to-XMPP gateway sends a SIP ACK to the MSRP conference server on
behalf of the joining user.
Example: (F4) Gateway sends ACK to MSRP conference server
ACK sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0

Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
3.2. Set 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 (i.e., the resourcepart of the 'to' address,
such "JuliC" in "verona@chat.example.org/JuliC"). The nickname is
set up using the extension specified in [I-D.ietf-simple-chat].
Example: (F5) Gateway sets up nickname
MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
Use-Nickname: "JuliC"
-------a786hjs2
The MSRP conference server analyzes the existing allocation of
nicknames, accepts the nickname proposal and answers with a 200
response.
Example: (F6) MSRP conference accepts nickname proposal
MSRP a786hjs2 200 OK
To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
-------a786hjs2
So far we have assumed that the requested nickname did not conflict
with any existing nicknames. The following text describes the
handling of a nickname conflict.

| |(F8) (SIP) BYE |
| |------------------------->|
| |(F9) (SIP) 200 OK |
| |<-------------------------|
The MSRP conference server analyzes the existing allocation of
nicknames, and detects that the nickname proposal is already provided
to another participant. In this case the MSRP conference server
answers with a 425 response.
Example: (F6) MSRP conference does not accept nickname proposal
MSRP a786hjs2 425 Nickname usage failed
To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a response, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway SHOULD
translate it into an XMPP presence stanza of type "error" specifying
a error condition (which implies that the XMPP client
will then need to choose another nickname and repeat the process of
joining).
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
Example: (F7) Conflict error for nickname
Alternatively, the gateway might generate a new nickname request on
behalf of the XMPP user, thus shielding the XMPP client from handling
the conflict error.
3.3. Change Nickname
The XMPP user might want to change her nickname. She can do so by
sending an updated presence stanza to the room, containing a new
nickname.

| | |
|(F1) (XMPP) Presence to change Nickname |

| |(F2) (MSRP) NICKNAME |
| |------------------------->|
| |(F3) (MSRP) 200 OK |
| |<-------------------------|
Example: (F1) Juliet changes her nickname
The nickname change is handled as described above.
3.4. Invite Another User to a Room
In XMPP there are two methods for inviting another user to a room:
direct invitations [XEP-0249] (sent directly from the user's real JID
outside the room to the invitee's real JID) and mediated invitations
(sent through the room from the user's Occupant JID to the invitee's
JID). In this document we cover mediated invitations only.

| |------------------------->|
| |(F3) (SIP) 200 OK |
| |<-------------------------|
. . .
| |(F4) (SIP) NOTIFY |
| |<-------------------------|
For example, if Juliet decides to invite Benvolio to the room, she
sends a message stanza with an invite and Benvolio's JID (which could
be his real JID or an Occupant JID in another room).
Example: (F1) Juliet invites Hecate to the room
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 [RFC4579] (sec 5.5)
Example: (F2) SIP translation of invite

3.5. Presence Broadcast
If the MSRP conference 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 to the XMPP-to-SIP gateway a NOTIFY
containing the presence information of all the existing occupants,
represented using the [RFC4575] format.

If the NOTIFY included a subject, the gateway SHALL convert it into a
separate XMPP message.

3.6.1. Send 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 message to all occupants
Who knows where Romeo is?
Upon receiving such a message, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST translate
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
it into an MSRP SEND message.
Example: (F14) Gateway transforms XMPP message to MSRP

-------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 MSRP conference server MUST
immediately generate and send a response.
MSRP d93kswow 200 OK

From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
-------d93kswow$
Since an XMPP MUC room could be moderated and an XMPP user cannot be
sure whether her message has been accepted or not without receiving
it back from the server, [XEP-0045] states that the sender needs to
receive the same message it has generated. So in this scenario the
XMPP-to-SIP gateway has to reflect the message back to the sender.
This prodedure only applies to XMPP endpoints.
3.6.2. Send 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 it sends to the MSRP conference server, as
specified in [I-D.ietf-simple-chat].

it into an MSRP SEND message.

3.7. Exit Room
If Juliet decides to exit the chatroom, 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 exits the chatroom

Note: If the XMPP presence stanza is received before the SIP
SUBSCRIBE dialog is established for the "conference" event, then the
server SHOULD cache the participants list until the subscription is
established and delivered in a SIP NOTIFY request.
4.1. Enter Room
When the SIP user ("Romeo") wants to join a groupchat 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: "Romeo" ;gr=orchard
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
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.,
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
502 Bad Gateway).
If SRV address resolution succeeds, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway SHOULD
answer successfuly with a SIP 200 OK (F2).
Implementations MAY wait until the nickname is set with an MSRP
NICKNAME chunk before joining the XMPP MUC or MAY choose a temporary
nickname (such as the SIP From header display name) and use it to
join the room.

-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving the MSRP NICKNAME request, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway is
responsible for generating an XMPP presence stanza and sending it to
the chatroom.
Example: (F5) Romeo enters chatroom
If the room does not already contain another user with the requested
nickname, the service accepts the access request. Thus if the
gateway does not receive any stanza of type "error" specifying a
error condition, it MUST answer the MSRP nickname

-------a786hjs2
So far we have assumed that the requested nickname did not conflict
with any existing nicknames. The following flow shows the handling
of a nickname conflict.

4.2. Change Nickname
If Romeo decides to change his 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.

-------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a message, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST translate
it into an XMPP presence stanza.
Example: (F2) XMPP translation of nickname change
4.3. Invite Another User to a Room
To follow.
4.4. Presence Broadcast
If the multi-user chat service is able to add the SIP user to the
room, it sends presence from all the existing occupants' room JIDs to
the new occupant's full JID, including extended presence information
about roles in an element.

Upon receiving these presence stanzas, if the MSRP conference server
has already completed the subscription to the Conference Event
package [RFC4575], the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST translate them in a
SIP NOTIFY request containing the participant list (represented in
the [RFC4575] format).

4.5. Exchange 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.)

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| To | to |
| From | from |
| body of the SEND request | |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
4.5.1. Send a Message to All Occupants
When Romeo wants to send a message to all other occupants in the
room, he sends an MSRP SEND request to itself (i.e.,
in our example).
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example: (F12) Romeo sends a message to the chat room
MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Message-ID: 87652492
Byte-Range: 1-*/*
Content-Type: message/cpim
To:
From: "Romeo" ;gr=orchard
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 into an XMPP message stanza (F13) and then
generate and send an MSRP response (F14).
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
Example: (F13) XMPP translation of message
Romeo is here!
Example: (F14) MSRP response to public message
MSRP d93kswow 200 OK
To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
-------d93kswow$
Note well that the XMPP MUC room will reflect the sender's message
back to all users, including the sender. In MSRP this reflected
message is unnecessary. Therefore gateways are advised to maintain a
cache and if the same stanza is received within a reasonable amount
of time, assume is the reflected message and ignore it.
4.5.2. Send 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: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Message-ID: 87652492
Byte-Range: 1-*/*
Content-Type: message/cpim
To: ;gr=JuliC
From: "Romeo" ;gr=orchard
DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
Content-Type: text/plain
I am here!!!
-------a786hjs2$
The MSRP conference is responsible for transforming the "From"
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
address into an in-room address.
Example: MSRP handling of private message
MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
Message-ID: 87652492
Byte-Range: 1-*/*
Content-Type: message/cpim
To: ;gr=JuliC
From: ;gr=Romeo
DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
Content-Type: text/plain
I am here!!!
-------a786hjs2$
Once the MSRP conference sends that message to the gateway, the
gateway is responsible for translating it into XMPP syntax.
Example: (F13) XMPP translation of private message
I am here!!!
4.6. Exit Room
If Romeo decides to exit the chat room, his client sends a SIP BYE to
the chat room.
Example: (F11) Romeo terminates the session
BYE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
Max-Forwards: 70
From: "Romeo" ;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 MUC room service.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
Then the SIP-to-XMPP gateway responds with a 200 OK to the MSRP user.
Example: (F19) Romeo exits the chatroom
5. Handling of Nicknames and Display Names
Fundamental rules for mapping addresses between XMPP and SIP are
provided in [I-D.ietf-stox-core]. However, chatrooms include a more
specialized, unique identifier for each participant in a room, called
a nickname. Implementations are strongly encouraged to apply the
rules for preparation and comparison of nicknames specified in
[I-D.ietf-precis-nickname].
In addition to nicknames, some groupchat implementations also include
display names (which might or might not be different from users'
nicknames). A display name need not be unique within the context of
a room but instead simply provides a user-friendly name for a
participant.
In SIP, the nickname is the value of the XCON 'nickname' attribute of
the element [RFC6501] and the display name is the XML
character data of the conference-info element
[RFC4575]. In XMPP, the nickname is the value of the resourcepart of
the Occupant JID [XEP-0045] and the display name is the XML character
data of the element [XEP-0172].
In practice, the element is treated as canonical in
SIP implementations, and the element is rarely used in XMPP
implementations. Therefore, for display purposes SIP implementations
ought to use the element (not the XCON 'nickname'
attribute) and XMPP implementations ought to use the resourcepart of
the Occupant JID (not the character data of the element).
If there is a conflict between the SIP nickname and the XMPP
nickname, the SIP-to-XMPP or XMPP-to-SIP gateway is responsible for
adjusting the nickname to avoid the conflict and for informing the
SIP or XMPP client of the unique nickname used to join the chatroom.
6. Security Considerations
The security considerations of [RFC3261], [RFC4975], [RFC6120],
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires January 2, 2014 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat July 2013
[I-D.ietf-stox-core], [I-D.ietf-simple-chat], and [XEP-0045] apply.
Additional security considerations will be provided in a future
version of this specification.
7. IANA Considerations
