RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
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 multi-party 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 [RFC7247], including the mapping of addresses and error
conditions. This document specifies mappings for multi-party 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 multi-party chat using Message Session Relay
Protocol (MSRP) [RFC4975] as specified in [RFC7701].
Both MUC and MSRP contain a large set of features, such as the
ability to administer rooms, kick out 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 a room, establishing or changing (but not
permanently registering) a room nickname, modifying presence
information within the room, sending a message to all participants,
sending a private message to a single participant, inviting another
user to the room, and leaving the room. Future documents might
define mappings for additional features beyond this set.
2. Intended Audience
The documents in this series are intended for use by software
developers who have an existing system based on one of these
technologies (e.g., SIP), and who would like to enable communication
from that existing system to systems based on the other technology
(e.g., XMPP). We assume that readers are familiar with the core
specifications for both SIP [RFC3261] and XMPP [RFC6120], with the
base document for this series [RFC7247], and with the following
groupchat-related specifications:
o Multi-party Chat Using MSRP [RFC7701]
o Multi-User Chat [XEP-0045]
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
3. Terminology
A number of technical terms used here are defined in [RFC3261],
[RFC4975], [RFC6120], and [XEP-0045].
In flow diagrams, MSRP traffic is shown using arrows such as "%%%>",
SIP traffic is shown using arrows such as "***>", XMPP traffic is
shown using arrows such as "...>".
In protocol flows and examples, provisional SIP responses have been
elided for the sake of brevity.
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].
4. Architectural Assumptions
XMPP and MSRP differ in their assumptions regarding groupchat
traffic. In XMPP, a message of type "groupchat" is just another
stanza and is handled directly by an XMPP server or routed to an
associated server component for multi-user chat. By contrast,
sessions (including groupchat sessions) in MSRP are considered to be
a type of media (similar to audio/video sessions): signaling to set
up, manage, and tear down the session is handled by a "conference
focus" [RFC4353] (here we assume via SIP), but the session data
itself is handled by a separate entity called an MSRP switch. How
the conference focus and MSRP switch communicate is a matter of
implementation and deployment.
An architectural diagram for a possible gateway deployment is shown
below, where the entities have the following significance:
o romeo@example.org -- a SIP user.
o romeo@example.org;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c -- a particular endpoint
associated with the SIP user.
o example.org -- a SIP proxy with an associated SIP-to-XMPP gateway
("S2X GW") to XMPP.
o chat.example.org -- a SIP-based conference focus and MSRP switch
with an associated MSRP-to-SIP gateway ("M2X GW") to XMPP.
o montague@chat.example.org -- a conference at an MSRP switch; not
shown in diagram.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
o juliet@example.com -- an XMPP user.
o juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym -- a particular endpoint
associated with the XMPP user.
o example.com -- an XMPP server with an associated XMPP-to-SIP
gateway ("X2S GW") to SIP and an XMPP-to-MSRP gateway ("X2M GW")
to MSRP.
o rooms.example.com -- an XMPP MUC service associated with
example.com.
o capulet@rooms.example.com -- a chat room at an XMPP MUC service;
not shown in diagram.
These are logical entities, and several of them might be co-located
in the same physical entity. For example, the SIP conference focus
and MSRP switch and associated gateways, or the XMPP server and MUC
service and associated gateways, might be part of the same deployed
code. In addition, it is likely that an XMPP service would not have
separate gateways for XMPP-to-SIP translation and XMPP-to-MSRP
translation, but would instead have a single gateway.

RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
In SIP, there is no necessity for a SIP user such as
romeo@example.org to make use of his SIP proxy in order to join a
chat room on the XMPP network; for example, he could try to directly
find a SIP service at example.com or independently locate a SIP-to-
XMPP gateway. Although, as a simplifying assumption, this document
shows the more expected path of using one's "home" SIP proxy and
shows gateways as associated with the sending domain, nothing in this
document ought to be construed as discouraging other deployment
architectures or communication paths (e.g., services hosting their
own inbound gateways).
5. Multi-party Messaging Session from XMPP MUC to MSRP
This section describes how to map an XMPP MUC session to an MSRP
Multi-party Messaging session. The following diagram outlines the
overall protocol flow of a sample session, which includes some
optional exchanges (such as sending messages, changing a nickname,
and inviting another user).

RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
5.1. Enter Room
As defined in the XMPP Multi-User Chat (MUC) specification
[XEP-0045], when an XMPP user (say, "juliet@example.com") wants to
join a groupchat room (say, "montague@chat.example.org"), she sends a
directed <presence/> stanza [RFC6121] 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 "montague@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 <x/>
element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc' namespace.
Example 1: Juliet Enters Room (F1)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/JuliC'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| </presence>
Upon receiving such a presence stanza, the XMPP server needs to
determine the identity of the domainpart in the 'to' address, which
it does by following the procedures discussed in [RFC7247]. Here we
assume that the XMPP server has determined the domain is serviced by
a SIP server, that it contains or has available to it an XMPP-to-SIP
gateway or connection manager (which enables it to speak natively to
SIP servers), and that it hands off the presence stanza to the
XMPP-to-SIP gateway.
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 into a SIP INVITE request.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 2: SIP Mapping of Room Join (F2)
| INVITE sip:montague@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 1 INVITE
| Content-Type: application/sdp
| Content-Length: ...
|
| c=IN IP4 x2s.example.org
| m=message 7654 TCP/MSRP *
| a=accept-types:text/cpim
| a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
| a=path:msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
Here the Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer specifies the XMPP-
to-MSRP gateway on the XMPP side (in the SDP 'path' attribute
specified in [RFC4975]) as well as other particulars of the session.
There is no direct mapping for the MSRP URIs. In fact, an MSRP
URI identifies a session of instant messages at a particular
device; it is ephemeral and has no meaning outside the scope of
that session. The authority component of the MSRP URI here MUST
contain the XMPP-to-MSRP gateway hostname or numeric IP address
(as well as, in accordance with [RFC4975], an explicit port
number).
The mapping of XMPP syntax elements to SIP and [RFC4566] syntax
elements MUST be as shown in the following table.
Table 1: Message Syntax Mapping from XMPP to SIP/SDP
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| XMPP Element or Attribute | SIP Header or SDP Contents |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| from | From |
| to (without the /nick) | To |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
As shown in the foregoing example and described in [RFC7247], the
XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST map the bare JID ("localpart@domainpart") of
the XMPP sender to the SIP From header and include the resourcepart
of the full JID as the Globally Routable User Agent URI (GRUU)
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
portion [RFC5627] of the SIP URI. However, note that a SIP response
uses the same From and To as in the SIP request, whereas an XMPP
response swaps the from and to attributes.
Here we assume that the SIP conference focus accepts the session
establishment. The Contact header field of the SIP 200 OK response
includes the 'isfocus' feature tag specified in [RFC4353] along with
other relevant feature tags. The conference focus also includes an
answer session description that acknowledges the choice of media,
specifies the MSRP URI of the switch (in the 'path' attribute
specified in [RFC4975]), and contains the extensions specified in
[RFC7701].
Example 3: Chat Room Accepts Session Establishment (F4)
| SIP/2.0 200 OK
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 1 INVITE
| Contact: <sip:montague@chat.example.org;transport=tcp>;isfocus

| a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
| a=path:msrp://chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
Upon receiving such a response, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway sends a SIP
ACK to the conference focus on behalf of the joining user.
Example 4: Gateway Sends ACK to Conference Focus (F5)
| ACK sip:montague@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 2 ACK
In accordance with [RFC4975], the gateway sends a bodiless MSRP
message (F6) to the switch immediately upon establishing the
connection, and the switch acknowledges that message (F7).
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
5.2. Set Nickname
If the chat room server accepted the session, the XMPP-to-MSRP
gateway sets up the nickname as received in the presence stanza
(i.e., the resourcepart of the 'to' address, such as "JuliC" in
"montague@chat.example.org/JuliC"). This is done using the extension
specified in [RFC7701].
Example 5: Gateway Sets Up Nickname (F8)
| MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
| To-Path: msrp://montague@chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Use-Nickname: "JuliC"
| -------a786hjs2
The MSRP switch analyzes the existing allocation of nicknames,
accepts the nickname proposal, and answers with a 200 response.
Example 6: MSRP Switch Accepts Nickname Proposal (F9)
| MSRP a786hjs2 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://montague@chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a
| ;tcp
| -------a786hjs2
This section assumes that the nickname request is successful. The
error flow resulting from a nickname conflict is described under
Section 5.6.
5.3. Conference Subscription
As mentioned in [RFC7701], the joining user will typically also
subscribe to a conference event package (see [RFC4575] and [RFC6502])
at the focus. Although such a subscription is not required by
[RFC7701] in practice the temporary and context-dependent presence
subscriptions and room rosters involved in joining an XMPP MUC room
are best mapped to the conference event package.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 7: Gateway Subscribes to the Conference (F10)
| SUBSCRIBE sip:montague@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786

| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 3 SUBSCRIBE
| Event: conference
| Expires: 600
| Accept: application/conference-info+xml
| Allow-Events: conference
| Content-Length: 0
The focus will accept or reject the request based on local policy.
Example 8: Focus Accepts Subscription Request (F11)
| SIP/2.0 200 OK
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 3 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: <sip:montague@chat.example.org;transport=tcp>;isfocus
| Expires: 600
| Content-Length: 0
If the conference focus accepts the request to enter a room, the XMPP
user expects to receive back presence information from all the
existing occupants of the room. To make this happen, the XMPP-to-SIP
gateway subscribes to the conference event package [RFC4575] at the
focus.
5.4. Presence Broadcast
When the conference event package subscription is completed, the
focus sends to the XMPP-to-SIP gateway a NOTIFY request containing
the presence information of all the existing occupants, represented
using the format defined in [RFC4575].

RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Upon receiving such a response, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway sends a SIP
200 OK response to the conference focus (example not shown) and
translates the participant list into a series of XMPP presence
stanzas.
Example 10: XMPP Mapping of Chat Room Presence (F14)
| <presence from='montague@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
| <presence from='montague@chat.example.org/Ben'
| to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'>

| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| <status code='110'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
If the NOTIFY request included a subject, the gateway converts that
into a separate XMPP message.
Example 11: XMPP Mapping of Chat Room Subject (F15)
| <message from='montague@chat.example.org/mayor'
| to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| id='mbh2vd68'>

5.5.1. 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 <room@service>
itself (in our example, <montague@chat.example.org>).
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example 12: Juliet Sends Message to All Occupants (F16)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org'
| type='groupchat'
| id='lzfed24s'>
| <body>Who knows where Romeo is?</body>
| </message>
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Upon receiving such a message, the XMPP-to-MSRP gateway translates it
into an MSRP SEND message.
Example 13: Gateway Maps XMPP Message to MSRP (F17)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652491
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>
| DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
| Content-Type: text/plain
|
| Who knows where Romeo is?
| -------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 switch immediately generates
and sends a response.
Example 14: MSRP Switch Returns 200 OK (F18)
| MSRP d93kswow 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://chat.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 without receiving it back
from the server, [XEP-0045] states that the sender needs to receive a
reflected copy of the message it sent. So, in this scenario, the
XMPP-to-MSRP gateway has to reflect the message back to the sender.
This procedure only applies to XMPP endpoints.
Example 15: Gateway Reflects Message to XMPP User (F19)
| <message from='montague@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| type='groupchat'
| id='ix51z73m'>
| <body>Who knows where Romeo is?</body>
| </message>
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
5.5.2. 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 ought to
be "chat" (and is not allowed to be "groupchat").
The following examples show an exchange of a private message.
Example 16: Juliet Sends Private Message (F20)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| type='chat'
| id='6sfln45q'>
| <body>O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?</body>
| </message>
Upon receiving such a message, the XMPP-to-MSRP gateway translates it
into an MSRP SEND message.
Example 17: Gateway Maps Private Message from XMPP to MSRP (F21)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652491
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;gr=Romeo
| From: <sip:juliet@example.org>;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
| Content-Type: text/plain
|
| O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
| -------a786hjs2$
After acknowledging the message by sending an MSRP 200 OK message
(step F22, not shown), the MSRP switch is responsible for sending the
message to the intended recipient. When doing so, it modifies the
From header to the sender's address within the chat room.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 21]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 18: Switch Sends Private Message to SIP User
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652491
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:romeo@example.org>
| From: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;gr=JuliC
| DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
| Content-Type: text/plain
|
| O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
| -------a786hjs2$
Note: If an XMPP-to-MSRP 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 conference focus, as
specified in [RFC7701].
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
5.6. 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.
Example 19: Juliet Changes Her Nickname (F23)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/CapuletGirl'/>
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.
The MSRP switch analyzes the existing allocation of nicknames, and
detects that the nickname proposal is already provided to another
participant. In this case, the MSRP switch answers with a 425
response.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 20: MSRP Switch Does Not Accept Nickname Proposal (F25)
| MSRP a786hjs2 425 Nickname usage failed
| To-Path: msrp://x2m.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| -------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a response, the XMPP-to-MSRP gateway translates
it into an XMPP presence stanza of type "error", specifying a
<conflict/> error condition (which implies that the XMPP client will
then need to choose another nickname and repeat the process of
joining).
Example 21: Conflict Error for Nickname (F26)
| <presence from='montague@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| type='error'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| <error type='cancel' by='montague@chat.example.org'>
| <conflict xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
| </error>
| </presence>
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.
5.7. 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.
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).
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 22: Juliet Invites Benvolio to the Room (F27)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| id='nzd143v8'
| to='montague@chat.example.org'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <invite to='benvolio@example.com'/>
| </x>
| </message>
The XMPP-to-SIP gateway then sends a SIP REFER request to the
conference focus indicating who needs to be invited in the Refer-To
header, as per Section 5.5 of [RFC4579].
Example 23: SIP Mapping of Invite (F28)
| REFER sip:montague@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 5 REFER
| Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| Accept: message/sipfrag
| Refer-To: <sip:benvolio@example.com>
| Supported: replaces
| Content-Length: 0
The conference focus then acknowledges the SIP REFER request with a
200 OK response (step F29, not shown).
The progress of the invitation will be tracked by the received NOTIFY
requests as per [RFC3515].
Example 24: Progress Notification for Invitation (F30)
| NOTIFY sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| From: <sip:montague@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| Call-ID: BC466C1C-E01D-4FD1-B766-9AD174BAF2E7
| CSeq: 6 NOTIFY
| Max-Forwards: 70
| Event: refer
| Subscription-State: active;expires=60
| Contact: <sip:montague@chat.example.org;transport=tcp>;isfocus
| Content-Type: message/sipfrag;version=2.0
| Content-Length: ...
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 24]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Note: Implementers might want to be aware that several recently
published specifications modify the way in which REFER requests
handle SIP notifications (see [RFC7647] and [RFC7614]).
5.8. Exit Room
If Juliet decides to exit the chat room, her client sends a directed
presence stanza of type "unavailable" to the occupant JID she is
currently using in the room (here <montague@chat.example.org/JuliC>).
Example 25: Juliet Exits Room (F31)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| type='unavailable'/>
Upon receiving such a stanza, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway terminates the
SIP session by sending a SIP BYE to the conference focus and the
conference focus responds with a SIP 200 OK (steps F32 and F33, not
shown).
Juliet can include a custom exit message in the presence stanza of
type "unavailable", in which case it is broadcast to other
participants using the methods described above.
Example 26: Juliet Exits the Chat Room (F31)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| type='unavailable'>
| <status>O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost</status>
| </presence>
6. MSRP Multi-party Messaging Session to XMPP MUC
This section describes how to map a Multi-party Instant Message (IM)
MSRP session to an XMPP MUC session. As before, the following
diagram outlines the overall protocol flow of a sample session, which
includes some optional exchanges (such as sending messages, changing
nickname, and inviting another user).

RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
If the XMPP presence stanza is received before the SIP SUBSCRIBE
dialog is established for the conference event, then the server
SHOULD cache the participant list until the subscription is
established and delivered in a SIP NOTIFY request.
6.1. Enter Room
When the SIP user ("Romeo") wants to join a groupchat room
("capulet"), 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 mandatory 'path' and
'chatroom' attributes. Here we assume that Romeo's user agent has
been configured to be aware of an MSRP switch (chat.example.org) it
can use. The MSRP media line is also accompanied by an 'accept-
types' attribute specifying support for a Message/CPIM [RFC3862] top-
level wrapper for the MSRP message.
Example 27: SIP User Starts Session (F35)
| INVITE sip:capulet@rooms.example.com SIP/2.0
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.org>;tag=43524545
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>
| Contact: <sip:romeo@example.org>;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| Call-ID: 08CFDAA4-FAED-4E83-9317-253691908CD2
| CSeq: 1 INVITE
| Content-Type: application/sdp
| Content-Length: ...
|
| c=IN IP4 s2x.example.org
| m=message 7313 TCP/MSRP *
| a=accept-types:message/cpim text/plain text/html
| a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
| a=path:msrp://chat.example.org:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
Upon receiving the INVITE, the SIP proxy needs to determine the
identity of the domain portion of the Request-URI or To header, which
it does by following the procedures discussed in [RFC7247]. Here we
assume that the SIP proxy has determined that the domain is serviced
by an XMPP server, that it contains or has available to it a SIP-to-
XMPP gateway or connection manager (which enables it to speak
natively to XMPP servers), and that it hands off the message to the
gateway.
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. Here we assume the latter.

The SIP/MSRP user agent subscribes to a conference event package at
the destination groupchat service.
Example 29: Gateway Subscribes to the Conference (F38)
| SUBSCRIBE sip:capulet@rooms.example.com SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>;tag=a3343df32

| Event: conference
| Expires: 600
| Accept: application/conference-info+xml
| Allow-Events: conference
| Content-Length: 0
After the conference subscription request is acknowledged, the SIP-
to-XMPP gateway sends presence from Romeo to the MUC chat room.
Example 30: Romeo Enters XMPP Chat Room (F40)
| <presence from='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
| to='montague@chat.example.org/Romeo'>

^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
6.2. Presence Broadcast
If the MUC service is able to add the SIP/MSRP 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 <x/> element.
Example 31: XMPP Service Sends Presence from Existing Occupants to
New Occupant (F41)
| <presence from='capulet@rooms.example.com/Romeo'
| to='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>

|
| <presence from='capulet@rooms.example.com/Ben'
| to='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'>

| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
Upon receiving these presence stanzas, if the conference focus has
already completed the subscription to the conference event package
[RFC4575], the XMPP-to-SIP gateway translates them into a SIP NOTIFY
request containing the participant list (represented in the
conference-info format specified in [RFC4575]).

multiple presence stanzas (one for each participant) whereas the
participant list is communicated in SIP by means of a single
conference information document, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway will need to
keep track of the user's SIP URI and the mapping of that URI into an
XMPP address; then, based on that mapping, it will need to determine
when it has received a complete room roster from the MUC room, i.e.,
when it has received the in-room presence of the SIP user (which
according to [XEP-0045] is the last presence stanza received in the
initial batch sent after joining). Once that happens, the SIP-to-
XMPP gateway can construct the conference information document
containing the complete participant list and send that to the SIP
user.
6.3. 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 MUST be
as shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not
mentioned are undefined.)
Table 5: Message Syntax Mapping from MSRP Message to XMPP
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| CPIM Header |XMPP Element or Attribute |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| To | to |
| From | from |
| body of the SEND request | <body/> |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
6.3.1. 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 <room@service>
(<capulet@rooms.example.com> in our example).
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 32]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example 33: Romeo Sends a Message to the Chat Room (F44)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://room.example.com:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652492
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.org>;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| 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 immediately
translates it into an XMPP message stanza and then generates and
sends an MSRP response.
Example 34: XMPP Mapping of Message (F45)
| <message from='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
| to='capulet@rooms.example.com'
| type='groupchat'
| id='8gbx1g4p'>
| <body>Romeo is here!</body>
| </message>
Example 35: MSRP Response to Public Message (F47)
| MSRP d93kswow 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://rooms.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| -------d93kswow$
Note well that the XMPP MUC room will reflect the sender's message
back to all users, including the sender. The MSRP-to-XMPP gateway
SHOULD wait until receiving this reflected message before sending an
MSRP 200 OK reply to the original sender.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
6.3.2. 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 36: Romeo Sends a Private Message (F48)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://rooms.example.com:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652492
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>;gr=JuliC
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.org>;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
| Content-Type: text/plain
|
| I am here!!!
| -------a786hjs2$
The MSRP switch is responsible for transforming the 'From' address
into an in-room address (not shown).
Once the MSRP switch sends that message to the gateway, the gateway
is responsible for translating it into XMPP syntax.
Example 37: XMPP Mapping of Private Message (F50)
| <message from='capulet@rooms.example.com/Romeo'
| to='capulet@rooms.example.com/JuliC'
| type='chat'
| id='rg2ca9k7'>
| <body>I am here!!!</body>
| </message>
6.4. Change Nickname
If Romeo decides to change his nickname within the room, he sends 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.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 34]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 38: MSRP User Changes Nickname (F51)
| MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
| To-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://rooms.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| Use-Nickname: "montecchi"
| -------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a message, the MSRP-to-XMPP gateway translates it
into an XMPP presence stanza.
Example 39: XMPP Mapping of Nickname Change (F52)
| <presence from='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
| to='capulet@rooms.example.com/montecchi'/>
The XMPP server will analyze the nickname allocation and determine if
the requested nickname is available. In case the nickname is not
available or not usable, the server will generate a presence stanza
of type "error" specifying a <conflict/> error condition.
Example 40: XMPP Conflict Error for Nickname (F53)
| <presence from='capulet@rooms.example.com/Romeo'
| to='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
| type='error'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| <error type='cancel' by='capulet@rooms.example.com'>
| <conflict xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
| </error>
| </presence>
Upon receiving this stanza, the XMPP-to-MSRP gateway will reply to
the NICKNAME request with code 425.
Example 41: Gateway Translates XMPP Nickname Conflict to MSRP Error
Code (F54)
| MSRP a786hjs2 425 Nickname usage failed
| To-Path: msrp://chat.example.org:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://rooms.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| -------a786hjs2
6.5. Invite Another User to a Room
If a SIP user wants to invite another user to join the conference he
will send a REFER request indicating who needs to be invited in the
Refer-To header, as per Section 5.5 of [RFC4579].
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 35]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 42: SIP User Invites Another User (F55)
| REFER sip:capulet@rooms.example.com SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>;tag=a3343df32
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.org>;tag=5534562
| Call-ID: 08CFDAA4-FAED-4E83-9317-253691908CD2
| CSeq: 4 REFER
| Contact: <sip:romeo@example.org>;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| Accept: message/sipfrag
| Refer-To: <sip:benvolio@example.com>
| Supported: replaces
| Content-Length: 0
The SIP-to-XMPP gateway then acknowledges the SIP REFER request with
a 200 OK response (step F56).
The gateway will then send a NOTIFY request as per [RFC3515]
indicating that the invitation is in progress. Since there is no way
to know the progress of the invitation until the user has joined,
implementations are advised to terminate the REFER dialog
subscription upon receiving the first NOTIFY request, with a status
code of 100 Trying.
Example 43: Progress Notification for Invitation (F56)
| NOTIFY sip:romeo@example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:romeo@example.org>;tag=5534562
| From: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>;tag=a3343df32
| Call-ID: 08CFDAA4-FAED-4E83-9317-253691908CD2
| CSeq: 5 NOTIFY
| Event: refer
| Subscription-State: terminated;reason=noresource
| Contact: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com;transport=tcp>;isfocus
| Content-Type: message/sipfrag;version=2.0
| Content-Length: ...
|
| SIP/2.0 100 Trying
6.6. Exit Room
If Romeo decides to exit the chat room, his client sends a SIP BYE to
the <montague@chat.example.org> chat room.
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 36]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
Example 44: Romeo Terminates Session (F59)
| BYE sip:capulet@rooms.example.com SIP/2.0
| Max-Forwards: 70
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.org>;tag=5534562
| To: <sip:capulet@rooms.example.com>;tag=a3343df32
| Call-ID: 08CFDAA4-FAED-4E83-9317-253691908CD2
| CSeq: 6 BYE
| Content-Length: 0
Upon receiving the SIP BYE, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway translates it
into a presence stanza of type "unavailable" (F60) and sends it to
the XMPP MUC room service. Then, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway responds
with a 200 OK to the MSRP user (F62).
Example 45: Romeo Exits Chat Room (F60)
| <presence from='romeo@example.org/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
| to='capulet@rooms.example.com/Romeo'
| type='unavailable'/>
7. Handling of Nicknames and Display Names
Fundamental rules for mapping addresses between XMPP and SIP are
provided in [RFC7247]. However, chat rooms include a more
specialized, unique identifier for each participant in a room, called
a "nickname". Implementations SHOULD apply the rules for preparation
and comparison of nicknames specified in [RFC7700].
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 the SIP conference event package, the nickname is the value of the
Centralized Conferencing (XCON) 'nickname' attribute of the <user/>
element [RFC6501] and the display name is the XML character data of
the conference-info <display-text/> 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
<nick/> element [XEP-0172].
In practice, the <display-text/> element is treated as canonical in
SIP implementations, and the <nick/> element is rarely used in XMPP
implementations. Therefore, for display purposes, SIP
implementations ought to use the <display-text/> element if the XCON
Saint-Andre, et al. Standards Track [Page 37]
^L
RFC 7702 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat December 2015
'nickname' attribute is not present, and XMPP implementations ought
to use the resourcepart of the occupant JID if the <nick/> element is
not present.
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 chat room.
8. Message Size
It is possible for MSRP messages to exceed the size allowed by an
XMPP service on the far end of an MSRP-to-XMPP gateway; see [RFC7573]
for a discussion of this issue.
9. Security Considerations
The security considerations of [RFC3261], [RFC4975], [RFC6120],
[RFC7247], [RFC7701], and [XEP-0045] apply.
This document specifies methods for exchanging groupchat messages
through a gateway that translates between SIP and XMPP. Such a
gateway MUST be compliant with the minimum security requirements of
the protocols for which it translates (i.e., MSRP/SIP and XMPP). The
addition of gateways to the security models of MSRP, SIP, and XMPP
introduces some new risks. In particular, end-to-end security
properties (especially confidentiality and integrity) between user
agents that interface through an MSRP-to-XMPP gateway can be provided
only if common formats are supported; unfortunately, although
[RFC3862] specifies such a format for one-to-one instant messages,
the problem of end-to-end security for multi-party messaging has not
been solved in a standardized way.
Some of the features that are not addressed by the minimal
interoperability baseline defined in this document are relevant to
security, such as the ability to administer rooms, kick out and ban
users, and enable room moderation. Users needing to take advantage
of such features cannot do so through a gateway in a standardized
manner and therefore will need to use native clients for the relevant
protocol (MSRP or XMPP).
As mentioned in [RFC7572], there are several possible methods for
end-to-end encryption of one-to-one instant messages. Unfortunately,
because there is no widely deployed method for end-to-end encryption
of multi-party instant messages, this document cannot provide a
recommendation in this regard.
