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

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 one-to-one text chat over the Internet. To
ensure interworking between these technologies, it is important to
define bidirectional protocol mappings.
The architectural assumptions underlying such protocol mappings are
provided in [RFC7247], including mapping of addresses and error
conditions. This document specifies mappings for one-to-one text
chat sessions (sometimes called "session-mode" messaging); in
particular, this document specifies mappings between XMPP messages of
type "chat" and the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) [RFC4975],
which is commonly used in SIP-based systems for chat functionality
(although note that MSRP is not conjoined to SIP, and can be used by
non-SIP technologies). Mappings for single instant messages and
groupchat are provided in [RFC7572] and [GROUPCHAT].
The approach taken here is to directly map syntax and semantics from
one protocol to another. The mapping described herein depends on the
protocols defined in the following specifications:
o XMPP chat sessions using message stanzas of type "chat" are
specified in [RFC6121].
o MSRP chat sessions using the SIP INVITE and SEND request types are
specified in [RFC4975].
