Abstract

   As a foundation for the definition of application-specific, bi-
   directional protocol mappings between the Session Initiation Protocol
   (SIP) and the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), this
   document specifies the architectural assumptions underlying such
   mappings as well as the mapping of addresses and error conditions.

Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

1.  Introduction

   The IETF has worked on two signalling technologies that can be used
   for multimedia session negotiation, messaging, presence, capabilities
   discovery, notifications, and other application-level functionality:

   o  The Session Initiation Protocol [RFC3261], along with various SIP
      extensions developed within the SIP for Instant Messaging and
      Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) Working Group.

   o  The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol [RFC6120], along
      with various XMPP extensions developed by the IETF as well as by
      the XMPP Standards Foundation.

   Because these technologies are widely deployed, it is important to
   clearly define mappings between them for the sake of interworking.
   This document inaugurates a series of SIP-XMPP interworking
   specifications by defining the architectural assumptions underlying
   such mappings as well as the mapping of addresses and error
   conditions.

   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].

   DISPATCH WG; visit <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dispatch>

4.  Architectural Assumptions

   Protocol translation between SIP and XMPP could occur in a number of
   different entities, depending on the architecture of real-time
   communication deployments.  For example, protocol translation could
   occur within a multi-protocol server, within a multi-protocol client,
   or within a gateway that acts as a dedicated protocol translator.

   This document assumes that the protocol translation will occur within
   a gateway.  (This assumption not meant to discourage protocol
   translation within multi-protocol clients or servers; instead, this

Saint-Andre, et al.      Expires August 9, 2013                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

   assumption is followed mainly to clarify the discussion and examples
   so that the protocol translation principles can be more easily
   understood and can be applied by client and server implementors with
   appropriate modifications to the examples and terminology.)
   Specifically, we assume that the protocol translation will occur
   within an "XMPP-to-SIP gateway" that translates XMPP syntax and
   semantics on behalf of an XMPP service when communicating with SIP
   services and/or within a "SIP-to-XMPP gateway" that translates SIP
   syntax and semantics on behalf of a SIP service when communicating
   with XMPP services.

   This document assumes that a gateway will translate directly from one
   protocol to the other.  We further assume that protocol translation
   will occur within a gateway in the source domain, so that information
   generated by the user of an XMPP service will be translated by a
   gateway within the trust domain of that XMPP service, and information
   generated by the user of a SIP service will be translated by a
   gateway within the trust domain of that SIP service.

   An architectural diagram for a possible gateway deployment is shown
   below, where the entities have the following significance and the "#"
   character is used to show the boundary of a trust domain:

   o  romeo@example.net -- a SIP user.
   o  example.net -- a SIP service with a gateway ("GW") to XMPP.
   o  juliet@example.com -- an XMPP user.
   o  example.com -- an XMPP service with a gateway ("GW") to SIP.

5.  Address Mapping

5.1.  Overview

   The basic SIP address format is a "sip:" or "sips:" URI as specified
   in [RFC3261].  When a SIP entity supports extensions for instant
   messaging it might be identified by an 'im:' URI as specified in the
   Common Profile for Instant Messaging [RFC3860] (see [RFC3428]) and
   when a SIP entity spports extensions for presence it might be

Saint-Andre, et al.      Expires August 9, 2013                 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

   identified by a 'pres:' URI as specified in the Common Profile for
   Presence [RFC3859] (see [RFC3856]).

   The XMPP address format is specified in [RFC6122]; as specified in
   [RFC6121], instant messaging and presence applications of XMPP also
   need to support 'im:' and 'pres:' URIs as specified in [RFC3860] and
   [RFC3859] respectively, although such support might simply involve
   leaving resolution of such addresses up to an XMPP server.

   In this document we primarily describe mappings for addresses of the
   form <user@domain>; however, we also provide guidelies for mapping
   the addresses of specific user agent instances, which take the form
   of Globally Routable User Agent URIs (GRUUs) in SIP and
   "resourceparts" in XMPP.  Mapping of protocol-specific identifiers
   (such as telephone numbers) is out of scope for this specification.
   In addition, we have ruled the mapping of domain names as out of
   scope for now since that is a matter for the Domain Name System;
   specifically, the issue for interworking between SIP and XMPP relates
   to the translation of fully internationalized domain names (IDNs)
   into non-internationalized domain names (IDNs are not allowed in the
   SIP address format, but are allowed in the XMPP address via
   Internationalized Domain Names in Applications, see [RFC6122] and
   [I-D.ietf-xmpp-6122bis]).  Therefore, in the following sections we
   focus primarily on the local part of an address (these are called
   variously "usernames", "instant inboxes", "presentities", and
   "localparts" in the protocols at issue), and secondarily on the
   instance-specific part of an address.

   The sip:/sips:, im:/pres:, and XMPP address schemes allow different
   sets of characters (although all three allow alphanumeric characters
   and disallow both spaces and control characters).  In some cases,
   characters allowed in one scheme are disallowed in others; these
   characters need to be mapped appropriately in order to ensure
   interworking across systems.

5.2.  Local Part Mapping

   The local part of a sip:/sips: URI inherits from the "userinfo" rule
   in [RFC3986] with several changes; here we discuss the SIP "user"
   rule only:

      user             =  1*( unreserved / escaped / user-unreserved )
      user-unreserved  =  "&" / "=" / "+" / "$" / "," / ";" / "?" / "/"
      unreserved       =  alphanum / mark
      mark             =  "-" / "_" / "." / "!" / "~" / "*" / "'"
                          / "(" / ")"

   Here we make the simplifying assumption that the local part of an

Saint-Andre, et al.      Expires August 9, 2013                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

   im:/pres: URI inherits from the "dot-atom-text" rule in [RFC5322]
   rather than the more complicated "local-part" rule:

      dot-atom-text =  1*atext *("." 1*atext)
      atext         =  ALPHA / DIGIT / ; Any character except controls,
                       "!" / "#" /     ;  SP, and specials.
                       "$" / "%" /     ;  Used for atoms
                       "&" / "'" /
                       "*" / "+" /
                       "-" / "/" /
                       "=" / "?" /
                       "^" / "_" /
                       "`" / "{" /
                       "|" / "}" /
                       "~"

   The local part of an XMPP address allows any ASCII character except
   space, controls, and the " & ' / : < > @ characters.

   Therefore, the following table lists the allowed and disallowed
   characters in the local part of identifiers for each protocol (aside
   from the alphanumeric, space, and control characters), in order by
   hexadecimal character number (where the "A" row shows the allowed
   characters and the "D" row shows the disallowed characters).

   Table 1: Allowed and disallowed characters

   +---+----------------------------------+
   | SIP/SIPS CHARACTERS                  |
   +---+----------------------------------+
   | A | !  $ &'()*+,-./ ; = ?     _    ~ |
   | D |  "# %          : < > @[\]^ `{|}  |
   +---+----------------------------------+
   | IM/PRES CHARACTERS                   |
   +---+----------------------------------+
   | A | ! #$%&'  *+ - /   = ?    ^_`{|}~ |
   | D |  "     ()  , . :;< > @[\]        |
   +---+----------------------------------+
   | XMPP CHARACTERS                      |
   +---+----------------------------------+
   | A | ! #$%  ()*+,-.  ; = ? [\]^_`{|}~ |
   | D |  "   &'       /: < > @           |
   +---+----------------------------------+

   When transforming the local part of an address from one scheme to
   another, an application SHOULD proceed as follows:

Saint-Andre, et al.      Expires August 9, 2013                 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

   1.  Unescape any escaped characters in the source address (e.g., from
       SIP to XMPP unescape "%2F" to "/" and from XMPP to SIP unescape
       "\27" to "'").
   2.  Leave unmodified any characters that are allowed in the
       destination scheme.
   3.  Escape any characters that are allowed in the source scheme but
       reserved in the destination scheme, as escaping is defined for
       the destination scheme.  In particular:
       *  Where the destination scheme is a URI (i.e., an im:, pres:,
          sip:, or sips: URI), each reserved character MUST be percent-
          encoded to "%hexhex" as specified in Section 2.6 of [RFC4395]
          (e.g., when transforming from XMPP to SIP, encode "/" as
          "%2F").
       *  Where the destination scheme is a native XMPP address, each
          reserved character MUST be encoded to "\hexhex" as specified
          in [XEP-0106] (e.g., when transforming from SIP to XMPP,
          encode "'" as "\27").

5.3.  Instance-Specific Mapping

   The meaning of a resourcepart in XMPP (i.e., the portion of a JID
   after the slash character, such as "foo" in the JID
   "user@example.com/foo") matches that of a Globally Routable User
   Agent URI (GRUU) in SIP [RFC5627].  In both cases, these constructs
   identify a particular device associated with the bare JID
   ("user@host") of an XMPP entity or with the Address of Record (AOR)
   of a SIP entity.  Therefore, it is reasonable to map the value of a
   "gr" URI parameter to an XMPP resource part, and vice-versa.

   Note that the "gr" URI parameter in SIP can contain only characters
   from the ASCII range, whereas an XMPP resourcepart can contain nearly
   any Unicode character [UNICODE].  Therefore Unicode characters
   outside the ASCII range need to be mapped to characters in the ASCII
   range, as described below.

5.4.  SIP to XMPP

   The following is a high-level algorithm for mapping a sip:, sips:,
   im:, or pres: URI to an XMPP address:

   1.  Remove URI scheme.
   2.  Split at the first '@' character into local part and hostname
       (mapping the latter is out of scope).
   3.  Translate any percent-encoded strings ("%hexhex") to percent-
       decoded octets.
   4.  Treat result as a UTF-8 string.

Saint-Andre, et al.      Expires August 9, 2013                 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

   5.  Translate "&" to "\26", "'" to "\27", and "/" to "\2f"
       respectively in order to properly handle the characters
       disallowed in XMPP addresses but allowed in sip:/sips: URIs and
       im:/pres: URIs as shown in Column 3 of Table 3 above (this is
       consistent with [XEP-0106]).
   6.  Apply Nodeprep profile of Stringprep [RFC3454] or its replacement
       (see [RFC6122] and [I-D.ietf-xmpp-6122bis]) for canonicalization
       (OPTIONAL).
   7.  Recombine local part with mapped hostname to form a local@domain
       address (bare JID).
   8.  If the (SIP) address contained a "gr" URI parameter, append a
       slash character "/" and the "gr" value to the local@domain
       address to form a local@domain/resource address (full JID).

5.5.  XMPP to SIP

   The following is a high-level algorithm for mapping an XMPP address
   to a sip:, sips:, im:, or pres: URI:

   1.  Split XMPP address into localpart (mapping described in remaining
       steps), domainpart (hostname; mapping is out of scope), and
       resourcepart (specifier for particular device or connection, for
       which an OPTIONAL mapping is described below).
   2.  Apply Nodeprep profile of [RFC3454] or its replacement (see
       [RFC6122] and [I-D.ietf-xmpp-6122bis]) for canonicalization of
       the XMPP localpart (OPTIONAL).
   3.  Translate "\26" to "&", "\27" to "'", and "\2f" to "/"
       respectively (this is consistent with [XEP-0106]).
   4.  Determine if the foreign domain supports im: and pres: URIs
       (discovered via [RFC2782] lookup as specified in [RFC6121]), else
       assume that the foreign domain supports sip:/sips: URIs.
   5.  If converting into im: or pres: URI, for each byte, if the byte
       is in the set (),.;[\] (i.e., the partial complement from Row 3,
       Column 2 of Table 3 above) or is a UTF-8 character outside the
       ASCII range then percent-encode that byte to "%hexhex" format.
       If converting into sip: or sips: URI, for each byte, if the byte
       is in the set #%[\]^`{|} (i.e., the partial complement from Row
       3, Column 1 of Table 3 above) or is a UTF-8 character outside the
       ASCII range then percent-encode that byte to "%hexhex" format.
   6.  Combine resulting local part with mapped hostname to form
       local@domain address.
   7.  Prepend with 'im:' scheme (for XMPP <message/> stanzas) or
       'pres:' scheme (for XMPP <presence/> stanzas) if foreign domain
       supports these, else prepend with 'sip:' or 'sips:' scheme
       according to local service policy.
   8.  If the XMPP address included a resourcepart and the destination
       URI scheme is 'sip:' or 'sips:', optionally append the slash
       character '/' and then append the resourcepart (making sure to

Internet-Draft         SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core         February 2013

       percent-encode any UTF-8 characters outside the ASCII range).

6.  Error Condition Mapping

   SIP response codes are specified in [RFC3261] and XMPP error
   conditions are specified in [RFC6120].
