1. Introduction
Presence is information about the availability of an entity (such as
network availability or availability for communication). Presence
features in both SIP and XMPP involve several aspects:
o A long-lived authorization for a user to receive notifications
about a contact's presence across presence and notification
sessions; such an authorization is formally requested by the user,
approved (or not) by the contact, and often associated with a
record in an address list or "buddy list".
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
o An ephemeral presence session, during which the contact is online
(i.e., available for interaction) and after which the contact is
offline again.
o An ephemeral notification session, during which the user requests
presence notifications from the contact (these are implicit in
XMPP, but explicit in SIP where they are managed by means of
notification dialogs).
o Notifications that are sent from the contact to the user for the
life of either the contact's presence session or the user's
notification session.
Although specifications for both SIP and XMPP use the term
"subscription", they do so in different ways. In SIP, a
"subscription" is the specific mechanism whereby a subscriber (or an
entity acting on the subscriber's behalf, such as a server) requests
presence notifications from the contact over a relatively short
period of time, renewed as necessary to keep receiving presence
notifications during a presence session. By contrast, in XMPP a
"subscription" is essentially shorthand for a long-lived presence
authorization. To prevent confusion, this document uses the term
"notification dialog" for a SIP subscription and the term "presence
authorization" for an XMPP subscription.
In order to help ensure interworking between presence systems that
conform to the instant message / presence requirements [RFC2779], it
is important to clearly define protocol mappings between such
systems. Within the IETF, work has proceeded on two presence
technologies:
o Various extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol ([RFC3261])
for presence, in particular [RFC3856]
o The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), which
consists of a formalization of the core XML streaming protocols
developed originally by the Jabber open-source community; the
relevant specifications are [RFC6120] for the XML streaming layer
and [RFC6121] for basic presence and instant-messaging extensions
One approach to helping ensure interworking between these protocols
is to map each protocol to the abstract semantics described in
[RFC3860]; however, apparently that approach has never been
implemented. The approach taken in this document is to directly map
semantics from one protocol to another (i.e., from SIP/SIMPLE (SIP
for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions) to XMPP and
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
vice versa), because that is how existing systems solve the
interworking problem.
The architectural assumptions underlying such direct mappings are
provided in [RFC7247], including mapping of addresses and error
conditions. The mappings specified in this document cover basic
presence functionality. Mapping of more advanced functionality
(e.g., so-called "rich presence") is out of scope for this document.
This document obsoletes RFC 7248.
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 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
presence-related specifications:
o "A Presence Event Package for the Session Initiation Protocol"
[RFC3856]
o "Presence Information Data Format (PIDF)" [RFC3863]
o "Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Instant
Messaging and Presence" [RFC6121]
o "SIP-Specific Event Notification" [RFC6665]
3. Terminology
A number of terms used here (user, contact, notification, etc.) are
explained in [RFC3261], [RFC3856], [RFC3857], [RFC6120], and
[RFC6121]. This document uses some, but not all, of the presence-
related terms defined in the Model for Presence and Instant Messaging
[RFC2778]. In particular, the term "presence session" is used as
described in [RFC6121] to mean a delimited time period in which an
endpoint is online and available for communications.
In flow diagrams, SIP traffic is shown using arrows such as "***>",
whereas XMPP traffic is shown using arrows such as "...>". As in
[RFC7247], the terms "SIP to XMPP Gateway" and "XMPP to SIP Gateway"
are abbreviated as "S2X GW" and "X2S GW", respectively.
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
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
The fundamental architectural assumptions underlying SIP-XMPP
interworking are described in [RFC7247].
Note that, in SIP, there are two ways that presence services can be
deployed on the server side:
1. Under this model, described most fully in [RFC3857], a dedicated
SIP Presence Server handles events related to the presence event
package. Instead of forwarding a SUBSCRIBE message to the SIP
user, the Presence Server would act on the basis of a policy set
by the SIP User Agent using the 'presence.winfo' event package,
for which the SIP user would receive events. The SIP User Agent
would then authorize the subscribing contact through some
interaction with the Presence Server (for instance using XCAP
[RFC4825]). Therefore, presence updates from the SIP User Agent
would not be sent as NOTIFY messages to the XMPP user but as
PUBLISH messages to the Presence Server, which would then
generate NOTIFY messages to all active subscribers.
2. Under this model, a SIP Presence Server acts in proxy mode and
merely passes through the SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY messages to the
SIP User Agent.
Because the behavior of the XMPP-to-SIP gateway is not changed by the
SIP architectural model that is used, the diagrams and protocol flows
in this document cover both options by labeling the end entity a "SIP
User Agent or Presence Server".
5. Presence Authorizations
5.1. Overview
Both XMPP and presence-aware SIP systems enable entities (often, but
not necessarily, human users) to subscribe to the presence of other
entities. XMPP presence is specified in [RFC6121]. Presence using a
SIP event package is specified in [RFC3856].
As described in [RFC6121], XMPP presence authorizations are managed
using XMPP stanzas of type "subscribe", "subscribed",
"unsubscribe", and "unsubscribed". The main states are:
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
o "none" (neither the user nor the contact is subscribed to the
other's presence information)
o "from" (the contact will receive presence notifications from the
user)
o "to" (the contact will send presence notifications to the user)
o "both" (both user and contact will receive each other's presence
notifications)
As described in [RFC3856], SIP presence authorizations are
effectively implicit: when a SIP user receives an initial SIP
SUBSCRIBE event from a contact, the recipient's SIP User Agent will
prompt the user to approve or deny the request. This decision is
recorded in the User Agent or in a Presence Server, so that in the
future any notification dialogs from the contact are automatically
approved. (Note that addresses for SIP users and contacts are most
generally referenced by a Presence URI of the form
but might be referenced by a SIP or SIPS (Session Initiation Protocol
Secure) URI of the form or ;
because in practice 'pres' URIs are rarely used, the examples in this
document use 'sip' URIs.)
In both SIP and XMPP, presence authorizations are long-lived (indeed
permanent if not explicitly cancelled). In SIP, by default a
notification session is typically short-lived unless explicitly
extended (the default time-to-live of a SIP notification dialog is
3600 seconds, as specified in Section 6.4 of [RFC3856], so that a
notification dialog needs to be explicitly refreshed in order for a
user's notification session to last as long as the contact's presence
session). In XMPP, a user's notification session with a contact is
almost always automatically handled by the user's server based on the
user's presence state (see [RFC6121] for details).

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
An XMPP user (e.g., juliet@example.com) asks for a presence
authorization by sending a request to a SIP contact (e.g.,
romeo@example.net), and the contact either accepts or declines the
request. If the SIP contact accepts the request, the XMPP user will
have a long-lived authorization to receive the SIP contact's presence
information until (1) the XMPP user unsubscribes or (2) the SIP
contact cancels the authorization. The request is encapsulated in a
stanza of type "subscribe":
Example 1: XMPP User Subscribes to SIP Contact (F1)
|
Upon receiving such a 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 explained in Section 5 of [RFC7247]. If the domain is a
SIP domain, the XMPP server will hand off the stanza to
an associated XMPP-to-SIP gateway or connection manager that natively
communicates with presence-aware SIP proxies.
The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is then responsible for translating the XMPP
request into a SIP SUBSCRIBE request addressed from the XMPP user to
the SIP contact:
Example 2: SIP Transformation of XMPP Presence Authorization Request
(F2)
| SUBSCRIBE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0
| Via: SIP/2.0/TCP x2s.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk

| CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: ;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| Accept: application/pidf+xml
| Expires: 3600
| Content-Length: 0
Once the SIP proxy has delivered the SIP SUBSCRIBE to the SIP User
Agent or Presence Server (F3, no example shown), the SIP User Agent
then would send a response indicating acceptance of the request:

| Expires: 3600
| Content-Length: 0
In accordance with Section 6.7 of [RFC3856], the XMPP-to-SIP gateway
needs to consider the state to be "neutral" until it receives a
NOTIFY message with a Subscription-State header [RFC6665] whose value
is "active". Therefore, the SIP User Agent or Presence Server SHOULD
immediately send such a NOTIFY message (see Section 6 below). In
case the XMPP-to-SIP gateway initially receives one or more NOTIFY
messages with Subscription-State header whose value is "pending"
(F6), it MUST respond to them on the SIP side but not generate any
presence stanzas towards the XMPP User.

Upon receiving the first NOTIFY with a state of active, the XMPP-to-
SIP gateway returns a 200 OK to the SIP User Agent or Presence Server
(F12, no example shown).
The XMPP-to-SIP gateway also generates a stanza of type
"subscribed":
Example 5: XMPP User Receives Acknowledgement from SIP Contact (F14)
|
As described in Section 6, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway also generates a
presence notification addressed to the XMPP user:
Example 6: XMPP User Receives Presence Notification from SIP Contact
(F15)
|
5.2.2. Refreshing a Notification Dialog
It is the responsibility of the XMPP-to-SIP gateway to set the value
of the Expires header and to periodically renew the notification
dialog on the SIMPLE side of the gateway. For example, the XMPP-to-
SIP gateway SHOULD send a new SUBSCRIBE request to the SIP contact
whenever the XMPP user initiates a presence session with the XMPP
server by sending initial presence to its XMPP server (this is
functionally equivalent to sending an XMPP presence probe). The
XMPP-to-SIP gateway also SHOULD send a new SUBSCRIBE request to the
SIP contact sufficiently in advance of when the SIP notification
dialog is scheduled to expire during the XMPP user's active presence
session.
The rules regarding SIP SUBSCRIBE requests for the purpose of
establishing and refreshing a notification dialog are provided in
[RFC6665]. Those rules also apply to XMPP-to-SIP gateways.
Furthermore, an XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST consider the XMPP presence
authorization to be permanently cancelled (and so inform the XMPP
user) if it receives a SIP response of 403, 489, or 603. By
contrast, it is appropriate to consider a SIP response of 423 or 481
to be a transient error and to honor the long-lived XMPP presence
authorization. [RFC6665] explains more detailed considerations about
the handling of SIP responses in relation to notification dialogs and
refreshes.
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
Finally, see the security considerations section (Section 9) of this
document for important information and requirements regarding the
security implications of notification refreshes.
5.2.3. Cancelling a Presence Authorization
The following diagram illustrates the protocol flow by which an XMPP
user cancels her outbound presence authorization to a SIP contact
(i.e., indicates that she no longer wishes to be authorized to see
the SIP contact's presence). As can be seen, because SIMPLE does not
have a construct that enables a contact to cancel her presence
authorization, this flow instead results in cancellation of the
contact's notification dialog (with the implication on the XMPP side
that the contact will not request a subsequent notification dialog).
Additional details are explained in the text and examples after the
diagram.

At any time after subscribing, the XMPP user can indicate that she no
longer wishes to be authorized to receive presence notifications from
the contact. This is done by sending a stanza of type
"unsubscribe":

Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
Example 7: XMPP User Unsubscribes from SIP Contact (F16)
|
The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is responsible for translating the XMPP
unsubscribe command into a SIP SUBSCRIBE request with the Expires
header set to a value of zero:
Example 8: SIP Transformation of XMPP Unsubscribe (F17)
| SUBSCRIBE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0

| CSeq: 42 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: ;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| Accept: application/pidf+xml
| Expires: 0

Upon receiving the SIP 200 OK acknowleding the cancellation, the
XMPP-to-SIP gateway SHOULD send a stanza of type
"unsubscribed" addressed to the XMPP user:
Example 9: XMPP User Receives Unsubscribed Notification (F21)
|
In accordance with Section 4.4.1 of [RFC6665], the XMPP-to-SIP
gateway is then responsible for sending a NOTIFY with a
"Subscription-State" of "terminated" in order to formally end the
XMPP user's outbound presence authorization and the associated SIP
dialog.

Note: When the XMPP user cancels her outbound presence authorization
to the SIP user, any inbound authorization that she might have
approved (thus enabling the SIP user to see her presence) remains
unchanged.

A SIP User Agent initiates a presence authorization to an XMPP
contact's presence information by sending a SIP SUBSCRIBE request to
the contact. The following is an example of such a request:

seconds = 1 hour) applies.
Upon receiving the SUBSCRIBE, the SIP proxy needs to determine the
identity of the domain portion of the Request-URI, which it does by
following the procedures explained in Section 5 of [RFC7247]. If the
domain is an XMPP domain, the SIP proxy will hand off the SUBSCRIBE
to an associated SIP-to-XMPP gateway or connection manager that
natively communicates with XMPP servers.
The SIP-to-XMPP gateway is then responsible for translating the
SUBSCRIBE into an XMPP authorization request addressed from the SIP
user to the XMPP contact:
Example 12: XMPP Transformation of SIP SUBSCRIBE (F28)
|
In accordance with [RFC6121], the XMPP user's server delivers the
presence authorization request to the XMPP user (or, if an
authorization already exists in the XMPP user's roster, the XMPP
server SHOULD auto-reply with a stanza of type
'subscribed').
The "happy path" is for the XMPP user to approve the presence
authorization request by generating a stanza of type
"subscribed" (F30). The XMPP server then stamps that presence stanza
with the 'from' address of the XMPP contact and sends it to the SIP
user (F31). Upon receiving the stanza, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway
generates an empty SIP NOTIFY message with a Subscription-State
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
header [RFC6665] of "active", which serves to inform the SIP user
that the presence authorization request has been approved (F32).
Example 13: XMPP User Approves Presence Authorization Request (F31)
|
Example 14: Presence Authorization Request Approved (F32)
| NOTIFY sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0

| CSeq: 2 NOTIFY
| Content-Length: 0
As an alternative to the "happy path", the XMPP user could decline
the presence authorization request by generating a stanza
of type "unsubscribed". The XMPP server would stamp that presence
stanza with the 'from' address of the XMPP contact and would send it
to the SIP user. The SIP-to-XMPP gateway then transforms that stanza
into an empty SIP NOTIFY message with a Subscription-State header
[RFC6665] of "terminated" and a reason of "rejected":
Example 15: XMPP User Rejects Presence Authorization Request
|
Example 16: Presence Authorization Request Rejected

5.3.2. Refreshing a Notification Dialog
For as long as a SIP user is online and wishes to maintain a
notification session (i.e., receive presence notifications from the
XMPP contact), the user's SIP User Agent is responsible for
periodically refreshing the notification dialog by sending an updated
SUBSCRIBE request with an appropriate value for the Expires header.
In response, the presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway sends a SIP
NOTIFY to the user agent (per [RFC6665]); if the SIP-to-XMPP gateway
has meaningful information about the availability state of the XMPP
user (e.g., obtained from the core presence session in the XMPP
server or learned by sending a presence probe as described under
Section 7) then the NOTIFY communicates that information (e.g., by
including a PIDF body [RFC3863] with the relevant data), whereas if
the SIP-to-XMPP gateway does not have meaningful information about
the availability state of the XMPP user then the NOTIFY MUST be empty
as allowed by [RFC6665].
5.3.3. Cancelling a Presence Authorization
SIP does not directly have a construct for cancelling an outbound
presence authorization. Instead, the SIP user would terminate his
outbound notification dialog by sending a SUBSCRIBE message whose
Expires header is set to a value of zero ("0"), and then never renew
it:
Example 17: SIP User Terminates Notification Dialog
| SUBSCRIBE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
| Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
| From: ;tag=xfg9
| To: ;tag=ur93
| Call-ID: AA5A8BE5-CBB7-42B9-8181-6230012B1E11
| Event: presence
| Max-Forwards: 70
| CSeq: 66 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: ;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| Expires: 0
| Content-Length: 0
A presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway is then responsible for sending
a SIP NOTIFY request to the SIP User Agent containing a PIDF document
specifying that the XMPP contact now has a basic status of "closed",
including a Subscription-State header [RFC6665] of "terminated" with
a reason of "timeout"; and sending an XMPP stanza of type
"unavailable" to the XMPP contact
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
Note: When the SIP user cancels his outbound presence authorization
to the XMPP user, any inbound authorization that he might have
approved (enabling the XMPP user to see his presence) remains
unchanged.
6. Notifications of Presence Information
6.1. Overview
Both XMPP and presence-aware SIP systems enable entities (often, but
not necessarily, human users) to send presence notifications to other
entities. At its most basic, the term "presence" refers to
information about an entity's "on/off" availability for communication
on a network. Often, this basic concept is supplemented by
information that further specifies the entity's context or status
while available for communication; these availability states commonly
include "away" and "do not disturb". Some systems and protocols
extend the concepts of presence and availability even further and
refer to any relatively ephemeral information about an entity as a
kind of presence; categories of such "extended presence" include
geographical location (e.g., GPS coordinates), user mood (e.g.,
grumpy), user activity (e.g., walking), and ambient environment
(e.g., noisy). This document focuses on the "least common
denominator" of network availability only, although future documents
might address broader notions of presence, including availability
states and extended presence.
[RFC6121] defines how XMPP stanzas can indicate
availability (via absence of a 'type' attribute) or lack of
availability (via a 'type' attribute with a value of "unavailable").
SIP presence using a SIP event package for presence is specified in
[RFC3856].
As described in [RFC6121], XMPP presence information about an entity
is communicated by means of an XML stanza sent over an
XML stream. This document assumes that such a stanza is
sent from an XMPP client to an XMPP server over an XML stream
negotiated between the client and the server, and that the client is
controlled by a human user. In general, XMPP presence is sent by the
user to the user's server and then broadcast to all entities who are
subscribed to the user's presence information.
As described in [RFC3856], presence information about an entity is
communicated by means of a SIP NOTIFY event sent from a SIP User
Agent to an intended recipient who is most generally referenced by a
Presence URI of the form but who might be
referenced by a SIP or SIPS URI of the form or
.
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
This document addresses basic presence or network availability only,
not the various extensions to SIP and XMPP for "rich presence" such
as [RFC4480], [XEP-0107], and [XEP-0108].
6.2. XMPP to SIP
When Juliet interacts with her XMPP client to modify her presence
information (or when her client automatically updates her presence
information, e.g., via an "auto-away" feature), her client generates
an XMPP stanza. The syntax of the stanza,
including required and optional elements and attributes, is defined
in [RFC6121]. The following is an example of such a stanza:
Example 18: XMPP User Sends Presence Notification
|
Upon receiving such a stanza, the XMPP server to which Juliet has
connected broadcasts it to all subscribers who are authorized to
receive presence notifications from Juliet and who have indicated a
current interest in receiving notifications (this is similar to the
SIP NOTIFY method). For each subscriber, broadcasting the presence
notification involves adding the 'to' address of the subscriber and
then either delivering the notification to a local recipient (if the
hostname in the subscriber's address matches one of the hostnames
serviced by the XMPP server) or attempting to route it to the foreign
domain that services the hostname in the subscriber's address. If
the notification is bound for an address at a foreign domain, 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]. If the domain is a SIP domain, the XMPP server will hand
off the stanza to an associated XMPP-to-SIP gateway or
connection manager that natively communicates with presence-aware SIP
proxy (no example shown).
The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is then responsible for translating the XMPP
stanza into a SIP NOTIFY request and included PIDF
document from the XMPP user to the SIP contact.

The mapping of XMPP syntax elements to SIP syntax elements MUST be as
shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned
are undefined.)
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016

+-----------------------------+---------------------------+
Table 1: Presence Syntax Mapping from XMPP to SIP
Note the following regarding these mappings:
1. Only an XMPP stanza that lacks a 'type' attribute or
whose 'type' attribute has a value of "unavailable" MUST be
mapped by an XMPP-to-SIP gateway to a SIP NOTIFY request, because
those are the only stanzas that represent
notifications.
2. The PIDF schema defines the tuple 'id' attribute as having a
datatype of "xs:ID"; because this datatype is more restrictive
than the "xs:string" datatype for XMPP resourceparts (in
particular, a number is not allowed as the first character of an
ID), it is RECOMMENDED to prepend the resourcepart with "ID-" or
some other alphabetic string when mapping from XMPP to SIP.
3. In practice, XMPP stanzas often do not include the
'id' attribute.
4. Because the lack of a 'type' attribute indicates that an XMPP
entity is available for communications, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway
MUST map that information to a PIDF basic status of "open".
Because a 'type' attribute with a value of "unavailable"
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
indicates that an XMPP entity is not available communications,
the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST map that information to a PIDF
status of "closed".
5. When the XMPP-to-SIP gateway receives XMPP presence of type
"unavailable" from the XMPP contact, it sends a SIP NOTIFY
request from the XMPP contact to the SIP User Agent containing a
PIDF document specifying that the XMPP contact now has a basic
status of "closed".
6. The value of the XMPP element is an integer between
-128 and +127, whereas the value of the PIDF element's
'priority' attribute is a decimal number from zero to one
inclusive, with a maximum of three decimal places. If the value
of the XMPP element is negative, an XMPP-to-SIP
gateway MUST NOT map the value. If an XMPP-to-SIP gateway maps
positive values, it SHOULD treat XMPP priority 0 as PIDF priority
0 and XMPP priority 127 as PIDF priority 1, mapping intermediate
values appropriately so that they are unique (e.g., XMPP priority
1 to PIDF priority 0.007, XMPP priority 2 to PIDF priority 0.015,
and so on up through mapping XMPP priority 126 to PIDF priority
0.992; note that this is an example only and that the exact
mapping is up to the implementation).
7. Some implementations support custom extensions to encapsulate
detailed information about availability; however, there is no
need to standardize a PIDF extension for this purpose, because
PIDF is already extensible and thus the element
(qualified by the 'jabber:client' namespace) can be included
directly in the PIDF XML. The examples in this document
illustrate this usage, which is RECOMMENDED. The most useful
values are likely "away" and "dnd", although note that the latter
value merely means "busy" and does not imply that a server or
client ought to block incoming traffic while the user is in that
state. Naturally, an XMPP-to-SIP gateway can choose to translate
a custom extension into an established value of the
element [RFC6121] or translate a element into a custom
extension that the XMPP-to-SIP gateway knows is supported by the
user agent of the intended recipient. Unfortunately, this
behavior does not guarantee that information will not be lost; to
help prevent information loss, an XMPP-to-SIP gateway ought to
include both the element and the custom extension if it
cannot suitably translate the custom value into a value.
However, there is no guarantee that the SIP receiver will render
a standard XMPP value or custom extension.
In XMPP, a user can connect with multiple devices at the same time
[RFC6120]; for presence notification purposes [RFC6121], each device
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
is associated with a distinct resourcepart [RFC7622] and a contact's
user agent will receive a separate presence notification from each of
the user's devices. Although the interpretation of multiple presence
notifications from a single user is a matter of implementation by the
contact's user agent, typically the user agent will show the "most
available" status for the contact (e.g., if the user is online with
three devices, one of which is away, one of which is in do not
disturb mode, and one of which is available with no qualifications,
then the status shown will simply be available. In SIP, it is
reasonable for a user agent to model multiple presence notifications
from an XMPP user in the same way that it would handle multiple
tuples from a SIP user.
6.3. SIP to XMPP
When Romeo changes his presence, his SIP User Agent generates a SIP
NOTIFY request for any contacts that have presence authorizations and
notification sessions. The syntax of the NOTIFY request is defined
in [RFC3856]. The following is an example of such a request:
Example 20: SIP User Sends Presence Notification
| NOTIFY sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0
| Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
| From: ;tag=yt66
| To: ;tag=bi54
| Contact: ;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| Call-ID: C33C6C9D-0F4A-42F9-B95C-7CE86B526B5B
| Event: presence
| Subscription-State: active;expires=499
| Max-Forwards: 70
| CSeq: 8 NOTIFY
| Content-Type: application/pidf+xml
| Content-Length: 193
|
|
|
|
|
| closed
|
|
|
Upon receiving the NOTIFY, the SIP proxy needs to determine the
identity of the domain portion of the Request-URI, which it does by
following the procedures discussed in [RFC7247]. If the domain is an
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
XMPP domain, the SIP proxy will hand off the NOTIFY to an associated
SIP-to-XMPP gateway or connection manager that natively communicates
with XMPP servers.
The SIP-to-XMPP gateway is then responsible for translating the
NOTIFY into an XMPP stanza addressed from the SIP user to
the XMPP contact:
Example 21: XMPP Transformation of SIP Presence Notification

The mapping of SIP syntax elements to XMPP syntax elements MUST be as
shown in the following table. (Mappings for elements not mentioned
are undefined.)
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
| SIP Header or PIDF Data | XMPP Element or Attribute |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
| basic status | type (1) |

| To | to |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
| | |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
| | (3) |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
Table 2: Presence Syntax Mapping from SIP to XMPP
Note the following regarding these mappings:
1. A PIDF basic status of "open" MUST be mapped to no 'type'
attribute, and a PIDF basic status of "closed" MUST be mapped to
a 'type' attribute whose value is "unavailable".
2. See the notes following Table 1 of this document regarding
mapping of presence priority.
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
3. If a SIP implementation supports the element (qualified
by the 'jabber:client' namespace) as a PIDF extension for
availability status as described in the notes following Table 1
of this document, the SIP-to-XMPP gateway is responsible for
including that element in the XMPP presence notification.
7. Polling for Presence Information
Both SIP and XMPP provide methods for explicitly requesting one-time
information about the current presence status of another entity.
These are "polling" methods as opposed to the subscribing methods
described in the rest of this document.
7.1. XMPP to SIP
In XMPP, an explicit request for information about current presence
status is completed by sending a stanza of type "probe":
Example 22: XMPP Server Sends Presence Probe on Behalf of XMPP User
|
Note: As described in [RFC6121], presence probes are used by XMPP
servers to request presence on behalf of XMPP users; XMPP clients are
discouraged from sending presence probes, because retrieving presence
is a service that servers provide automatically.
A SIP-to-XMPP gateway would transform the presence probe into its SIP
equivalent, which is a SUBSCRIBE request with an Expires header value
of zero:
Example 23: SIP Transformation of XMPP Presence Probe
| SUBSCRIBE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0
| Via: SIP/2.0/TCP x2s.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
| From: ;tag=j89d
| Call-ID: 5BCF940D-793D-43F8-8972-218F7F4EAA8C
| Event: presence
| Max-Forwards: 70
| CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: ;gr=yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym
| Accept: application/pidf+xml
| Expires: 0
| Content-Length: 0
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
As described in [RFC3856], this cancels any notification dialog but
causes a NOTIFY to be sent to the subscriber, just as a presence
probe does (the transformation rules for presence notifications have
been previously described in Section 6.2 of this document).
7.2. SIP to XMPP
In SIP, an explicit request for information about current presence
status is effectively completed by sending a SUBSCRIBE with an
Expires header value of zero:
Example 24: SIP User Sends Presence Request
| SUBSCRIBE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
| Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
| From: ;tag=yt66
| Call-ID: 717B1B84-F080-4F12-9F44-0EC1ADE767B9
| Event: presence
| Max-Forwards: 70
| CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
| Contact: ;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
| Expires: 0
| Content-Length: 0
A presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway translates such a SIP request
into a stanza of type "probe" if it does not already have
presence information about the contact:
Example 25: XMPP Transformation of SIP Presence Request
|
8. IANA Considerations
This document makes no requests of IANA.
9. Privacy and Security Considerations
Detailed privacy and security considerations for presence protocols
are given in [RFC2779], for SIP-based presence in [RFC3856] (see also
[RFC3261]), and for XMPP-based presence in [RFC6121] (see also
[RFC6120]).
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
9.1. Amplification Attacks
There exists the possibility of an amplification attack launched from
the XMPP network against a SIP presence server, because each long-
lived XMPP presence authorization would typically result in multiple
notification dialog refreshes on the SIP side of an XMPP-to-SIP
gateway. Therefore, access to an XMPP-to-SIP gateway SHOULD be
restricted in various ways; for example:
o Only an XMPP service that carefully controls account provisioning
and provides effective methods for the administrators to control
the behavior of registered users ought to host an XMPP-to-SIP
gateway (e.g., not a service that offers open account
registration).
o An XMPP-to-SIP gateway ought to be associated only with a single
domain or trust realm. For example, an XMPP-to-SIP gateway hosted
at simple.example.com ought to allow only users within the
example.com domain to access the XMPP-to-SIP gateway, not users
within example.org, example.net, or any other domain (unless they
are part of the same multi-tenanted environment as example.com).
This helps to prevent the gateway equivalent of open relays that
are shared across XMPP domains from different trust realms.
If a SIP presence server receives communications through an XMPP-to-
SIP gateway from users who are not associated with a domain that is
so related to the hostname of the XMPP-to-SIP gateway, it SHOULD
(based on local service provisioning) refuse to service such users or
refuse to receive traffic from the XMPP-to-SIP gateway. As a further
check, whenever an XMPP-to-SIP gateway seeks to refresh an XMPP
user's long-lived authorization to a SIP user's presence, it first
sends an XMPP stanza of type "probe" from the address of
the XMPP-to-SIP gateway to the "bare JID" (user@domain.tld) of the
XMPP user, to which the user's XMPP server responds in accordance
with [RFC6121]; this puts an equal burden on the XMPP server and the
SIP proxy.
9.2. Presence Leaks
Presence notifications can contain sensitive information (e.g., about
network availability). In addition, it is possible in both SIP and
XMPP for an entity to send different presence notifications to
different subscribers. Therefore, a gateway MUST honor data about
the intended recipient of a presence notification (as represented by
the 'to' address for XMPP and by the Request-URI for SIP) and it MUST
NOT route or deliver a presence notification to any other entities,
because it does not possess information about authorization to
Saint-Andre Expires March 6, 2017 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence September 2016
receive presence notifications for such entities - that information
resides at the user's home service, not at the receiving gateway).
