Interworking between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Groupchat
draft-ietf-stox-groupchat-01
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 September 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 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.
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 ID".
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) specification
[XEP-0045], when an XMPP user (say, "juliet@example.com") wants to
join a groupchat room (say, "verona@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 "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 <x/>
element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc' namespace.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
Example 1: Juliet enters room (X1)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'>
| <x xmlns='http='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| </presence>
Upon receiving such a presence stanza, the XMPP server to which
Juliet has connected needs to determine the identity of the
domainpart in the 'to' address, which it does by following the
procedures discussed in [I-D.ietf-stox-core]. Here we assume that
the XMPP server has determined the domain is serviced by a SIMPLE
server, that it contains or has available to it an XMPP-SIMPLE
gateway or connection manager (which enables it to speak natively to
SIMPLE servers), and that it hands off the presence stanza to the
XMPP-SIMPLE 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.
Example 2: SIP mapping of room join (X2)
| INVITE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>
| Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=balcony

| 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.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
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.
Table 1: Message syntax mapping from XMPP to SIP/SDP
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| XMPP Element or Attribute | SIP Header or SDP Contents |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| from | From |
| <thread/> | Call-ID |
| to (without the /nick) | To |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
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
conference 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 3: Chat room accepts session establishment (X3)
| SIP/2.0 200 OK
| From: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| To: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786
| Call-ID: 711609sa

| a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
| 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 4: Gateway sends ACK to MSRP conference server (X4)
| ACK sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>;tag=087js
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=786

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 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 5: Gateway sets up nickname (X5)
| 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 6: MSRP conference accepts nickname proposal (X6)
| MSRP a786hjs2 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://s2x.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 3.6.
3.3. Conference Subscription
If the nickname request is successful, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway then
formally subscribes to the MSRP conference on behalf of the XMPP
user.

Example 7: Gateway subscribes to the MSRP conference (X7)

| Event: conference
| Expires: 600
| Accept: application/conference-info+xml
| Allow-Events: conference
| Content-Length: 0
The conference server will accept or reject the request based on
local policy.
Example 8: MSRP conference server accepts subscription request (X8)
| SIP/2.0 200 OK
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>

| Allow: SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, PRACK, INVITE, ACK, BYE,
| CANCEL, UPDATE, MESSAGE, REFER
| Expires: 600
| Content-Length: 0
3.4. 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.

The following table shows the syntax mapping from the RFC 4575
payload to the XMPP participant list. (Mappings for elements not
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
mentioned are undefined.)
Table 2: Participant list mapping
+--------------------------------+-----------------------------+
| RFC 4575 Element | XMPP Element or Attribute |
+--------------------------------+-----------------------------+
| conference-info entity | room JID |
| conference subject | room subject |
| user entity | participant bare JID |
| user display-text / nickname | participant nickname |
| endpoint entity | participant full JID |
+--------------------------------+-----------------------------+
Upon receiving such a response, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST send a
200 OK to the MSRP conference server and translate the participant
list into a series of XMPP presence stanzas.
Example 10: XMPP mapping of chatroom presence (F11)
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| to='juliet@example.com/balcony'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/Ben'
| to='juliet@example.com/balcony'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>

| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| <status code='110'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
If the NOTIFY included a subject, the gateway converts that into a
separate XMPP message.

| <subject>Today in Verona</subject>
| </message>
The mapping of SIP and [RFC4575] payload syntax elements to XMPP
syntax elements is as shown in the following table. (Mappings for
elements not mentioned are undefined.)
Table 3: Message syntax mapping from SIP to XMPP
+---------------------------------+-----------------------------+

| <user entity=...> | from |
| Call-ID | thread |
| To + / <display-text> | to |
| roles | role |
| 'none' | affiliation |
+---------------------------------+-----------------------------+
3.5. Exchange Messages
Once the user has joined the chatroom, the user can exchange an
unbounded number of messages, both public and private.
The mapping of XMPP syntax elements to MSRP syntax elements is as
shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned
are undefined.)
Table 4: Message syntax mapping from XMPP Message to MSRP
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| XMPP Element or Attribute | CPIM Header |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| to | To |
| from | From |
| <body/> | body of the SEND request |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
3.5.1. 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, <verona@chat.example.org>).
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example 12: Juliet sends message to all occupants (X13)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@chat.example.org'
| type='groupchat'
| id='lzfed24s'>
| <body>Who knows where Romeo is?</body>
| </message>
Upon receiving such a message, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST translate
it into an MSRP SEND message.
Example 13: Gateway maps XMPP message to MSRP (X14)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652491
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:verona@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 conference server MUST
immediately generate and send a response.
Example 14: MSRP conference returns 200 OK (X15)
| MSRP d93kswow 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| 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.
Example 15: Gateway reflects message to XMPP user (X16)
| <message from='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| to='verona@chat.example.org'
| type='groupchat'
| id='ix51z73m'>
| <body>Who knows where Romeo is?</body>
| </message>
3.5.2. 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 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].
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
The following examples show an exchange of a private message.
Example 16: Juliet sends private message (X17)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@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-SIP gateway MUST translate
it into an MSRP SEND message.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
Example 17: Gateway maps private message from XMPP to MSRP (X18)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp
| Message-ID: 87652491
| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim
|
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>;gr=Romeo
| From: <sip:juliet@example.org>;gr=balcony
| 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 a SIP 200 OK (step X19,
not shown), the MSRP conference server is responsible for sending the
message to the intended recipient (not shown in the protocol flow).
When doing so, it MUST modify the "From" header to the sender's
address within the chatroom.
Example 18: MSRP conference sends private message to SIP user
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.org:12763/kjhd37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:7654/jshA7weztas;tcp

| Byte-Range: 1-*/*
| Content-Type: message/cpim

| From: <sip:verona@chat.example.com>;gr=JuliC
| DateTime: 2008-10-15T15:02:31-03:00
| Content-Type: text/plain
|
| O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
| -------a786hjs2$
3.6. 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.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
Example 19: Juliet changes her nickname (X20)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@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 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 20: MSRP conference does not accept nickname proposal (X22)
| 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 <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 (X23)
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| to='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| type='error'>
| <x xmlns='http='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| <error type='cancel' by='verona@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.
3.7. 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
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
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).
Example 22: Juliet invites Benvolio to the room (X24)
| <message from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| id='nzd143v8'
| to='verona@chat.example.org'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <invite to='benvolio@example.com'/>
| </x>
| </message>
The SIP-to-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 23: SIP mapping of invite (X25)
| REFER sip:verona@chat.example.com SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.com>
| From: "Juliet" <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=5534562
| Call-ID: 849392fklgl43
| Contact: <sip:juliet@example.com>;gr=balcony
| Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY
| Accept: message/sipfrag
| Refer-To: <sip:benvolio@example.com>
| Supported: replaces
| Content-Length: 0
The MSRP conference server then acknowledges the SIP REFER request
with a 200 OK response (step X25, not shown).
The progress of the invitation will be tracked by the received NOTIFY
requests as per [RFC3515].
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 17]

3.8. Exit Room
If Juliet decides to exit the chatroom, her client sends a directed
presence stanza of type "unavailable" to the occupant JID she is
currently using in the room (here <verona@chat.example.org/JuliC>).
Example 25: Juliet exits room (X28)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@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 MSRP conference server and
the MSRP conference server responds with a 200 OK (steps X29 and X30,
not shown).
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 26: Juliet exits the chatroom (F31)
| <presence from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| type='unavailable'>
| <status>Time to go!</status>
| </presence>
4. 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 Multi-User Chat (MUC) session. As before,
the following diagram outlines the overall protocol flow of a sample

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.
4.1. Enter Room (Includes Set Nickname)
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.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
Example 27: SIP user starts session (S1)
| INVITE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.com>
| Contact: <sip:romeo@example.com>;gr=orchard

| Content-Type: application/sdp
| Content-Length: 163

| a=accept-wrapped-types: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 following the
procedures discussed in [I-D.ietf-stox-core]. Here we assume that
the gateway server has determined that the remote 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. If this succeeds, the gateway SHOULD answer successfuly
with a SIP 200 OK (S2, not shown).
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.
Example 28: SIP user acks session (S3)
| SIP/2.0 200 OK
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.com>
| Contact: <sip:x2s.example.com;transport=tcp>;isfocus

| a=accept-wrapped-types:text/plain text/html
| a=path:msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| a=chatroom:nickname private-messages
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
The SIP user then requests a nickname.
Example 29: MSRP user sets up nickname (S4)
| MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| Use-Nickname: "Romeo"
| -------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 30: Romeo enters XMPP chatroom (S5)
| <presence from='romeo@example.com'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'>
| <x xmlns='http='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| </presence>
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
<conflict/> error condition within a reasonable amount of time (e.g.,
5 seconds), it MUST answer the MSRP nickname proposal with a 200 OK
response (S6).
Example 31: Acknowledgement of join (S6)
| MSRP a786hjs2 200 OK
| To-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| -------a786hjs2
Once the nickname has been set the user subscribes to the conference
event.

4.2. 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 <x/> element.
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
Example 34: XMPP service sends presence from existing occupants to
new occupant (S7)
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| to='romeo@example.com'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| <status='110'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/Ben'
| to='romeo@example.com'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| to='romeo@example.com'>
| <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
| <item affiliation='none' role='participant'/>
| </x>
| </presence>
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 into a
SIP NOTIFY request containing the participant list (represented in
the conference-info format specified in [RFC4575]).

| state="full">
| <display-text>Ben</display-text>
| <roles>
| <entry>participant</entry>
| </roles>
| </users>
| </conference-info>
Because the "room roster" is communicated in XMPP by means of
multiple presence stanzas (one for each participant) whereas the
participant list is communicated in SIP by means of a single
conference-info 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
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
sent after joining). Once that happens, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway can
construct the conference-info document containing the complete
participant list and send that to the SIP user.
4.3. 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 SHOULD 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/> |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
4.3.1. 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> itself (i.e.,
<verona@chat.example.org> in our example).
The following examples show an exchange of a public message.
Example 36: Romeo sends a message to the chat room (S13)
| MSRP a786hjs2 SEND
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp

| Content-Type: text/plain

| Romeo is here!
| -------a786hjs2$
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
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 (S14) and then
generate and send an MSRP response (S15).
Example 37: XMPP mapping of message (S14)
| <message from='romeo@example.com/orchard'
| to='verona@chat.example.org'
| type='groupchat'
| id='8gbx1g4p'>
| <body>Romeo is here!</body>
| </message>
Example 38: MSRP response to public message (S15)
| 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.
4.3.2. 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.

Once the MSRP conference sends that message to the gateway, the
gateway is responsible for translating it into XMPP syntax.
Example 41: XMPP mapping of private message (S20)
| <message from='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/JuliC'
| type='chat'
| id='rg2ca9k7'/>
| <body>I am here!!!</body>
| </message>

4.4. 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.
Example 42: MSRP user changes nickname (S22)
| MSRP a786hjs2 NICKNAME
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp
| Use-Nickname: "montecchi"
| -------a786hjs2
Upon receiving such a message, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST translate
it into an XMPP presence stanza.
Example 43: XMPP mapping of nickname change (S24)
| <presence from='romeo@example.com'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/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 44: XMPP conflict error for nickname (S25)
| <presence from='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| to='romeo@example.com/orchard'
| type='error'>
| <x xmlns='http='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
| <error type='cancel' by='verona@chat.example.org'>
| <conflict xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
| </error>
| </presence>
Upon receiving this stanza, the XMPP-SIP gateway will reply to the
NICKNAME request with code 425
Example 45: Gateway translates XMPP nickname conflict to MSRP error
code (S26)
| MSRP a786hjs2 425 Nickname usage failed
| To-Path: msrp://s2x.example.net:7313/ansp71weztas;tcp
| From-Path: msrp://x2s.example.com:8763/lkjh37s2s20w2a;tcp

4.5. 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].
Example 46: Inviting a XMPP participant (S27)
| REFER sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.com>;tag=5534562
| Call-ID: 849392fklgl43
| Contact: <sip:romeo@example.com>;gr=orchard
| Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY
| Accept: message/sipfrag
| Refer-To: <sip:benvolio@example.com>
| Supported: replaces
| Content-Length: 0
The XMPP-SIP gateway then acknowledges the SIP REFER request with a
200 OK response (step S28, not shown).
The gateway will then send a NOTIFY requests as per [RFC3515]
indicating that the invitation is is progress. Since there is no way
know the progress of the invitation until the user has joined,
implementations are advised to terminate the REFER dialog
subscription with the first NOTIFY, with a status code of 100 Trying.
Example 47: Progress notification for invitation (S29)
| NOTIFY sip:romeo@example.com SIP/2.0
| To: <sip:romeo@example.com>;tag=5534562
| From: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>;tag=18747389
| Call-ID: 849392fklgl43
| Event: refer
| Subscription-State: terminated;reason=noresource
| Contact: <sip:verona@chat.example.com;transport=tcp>;isfocus
| Content-Type: message/sipfrag;version=2.0
| Content-Length: 20
|
| SIP/2.0 100 Trying

4.6. Exit Room
If Romeo decides to exit the chat room, his client sends a SIP BYE to
the <verona@chat.example.org> chat room.
Example 48: Romeo terminates session (S27)
| BYE sip:verona@chat.example.org SIP/2.0
| Max-Forwards: 70
| From: "Romeo" <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=786
| To: <sip:verona@chat.example.org>;tag=534
| Call-ID: 742510no
| Cseq: 1 BYE
| Content-Length: 0
Upon receiving the SIP BYE, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway translates it
into a presence stanza (F19) and sends it to the XMPP MUC room
service. Then the SIP-to-XMPP gateway responds with a 200 OK to the
MSRP user.
Example 49: Romeo exits chatroom (S28)
| <presence from='romeo@example.com'
| to='verona@chat.example.org/Romeo'
| type='unavailable'/>
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 <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].
Saint-Andre, et al. Expires April 1, 2014 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Groupchat September 2013
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 (not the XCON 'nickname'
attribute) and XMPP implementations ought to use the resourcepart of
the occupant JID (not the character data of the <nick/> 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.
