Revision History


1. Introduction

Jingle [1] can be used to initiate and negotiate a wide range of peer-to-peer sessions. One session type of interest is audio chat. This document specifies a format for negotiating Jingle audio sessions over the Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP; see RFC 3550 [2]).

2. Requirements

The Jingle content description format defined herein is designed to meet the following requirements:

  1. Enable negotiation of parameters necessary for audio chat over Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP; see RFC 3550 [3]).
  2. Map these parameters to Session Description Protocol (SDP; see RFC 4566 [4]) to enable interoperability.
  3. Define informational messages related to audio chat (e.g., busy and ringing).

3. Jingle Conformance

In accordance with Section 8 of XEP-0166, this document specifies the following information related to the Jingle Audio via RTP application type:

  1. The content negotiation process is defined in the Negotiating a Jingle Audio Session section of this document.

  2. The semantics of the <description/> element are defined in the Content Description Format section of this document.

  3. A mapping of Jingle semantics to the Session Description Protocol is provided in the Mapping to Session Description Protocol section of this document.

  4. A Jingle audio session SHOULD use a lossy transport method such as Jingle Raw UDP Transport Method [5] or the "ice-udp" method specified in Jingle ICE Transport Method [6], but MAY use a reliable transport such as "ice-tcp".

  5. Content is to be sent and received as follows:

4. Content Description Format

A Jingle audio session is described by one or more encodings contained within a wrapper <description/> element. In the language of RFC 4566 these encodings are payload-types; therefore, each <payload-type/> element specifies an encoding that can be used for the audio stream. In Jingle Audio, these encodings are used in the context of RTP. The most common encodings for the Audio/Video Profile (AVP) of RTP are listed in RFC 3551 [7] (these "static" types are reserved from payload ID 0 through payload ID 95), although other encodings are allowed (these "dynamic" types use payload IDs 96 to 127) in accordance with the dynamic assignment rules described in Section 3 of RFC 3551.

The allowable attributes are as follows:

Table 1: Defined Attributes

Attribute Description Datatype Inclusion
channels The number of channels; if omitted, it MUST be assumed to contain one channel positiveInteger (defaults to 1) RECOMMENDED
clockrate The sampling frequency in Hertz positiveInteger RECOMMENDED
id The payload identifier positiveInteger REQUIRED
maxptime Maximum packet time as specified in RFC 4566 positiveInteger OPTIONAL
name The appropriate subtype of the audio MIME type string RECOMMENDED for static payload types, REQUIRED for dynamic payload types
ptime Packet time as specified in RFC 4566 positiveInteger OPTIONAL

The encodings SHOULD be provided in order of preference.

Example 1. Audio Description Format

    <description xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns'>
      <payload-type id='96' name='speex' clockrate='16000'/>
      <payload-type id='97' name='speex' clockrate='8000'/>
      <payload-type id='18' name='G729'/>
      <payload-type id='103' name='L16' clockrate='16000' channels='2'/>
      <payload-type id='98' name='x-ISAC' clockrate='8000'/>
      <payload-type id='102' name='iLBC'/>
      <payload-type id='4' name='G723'/>
      <payload-type id='0' name='PCMU' clockrate='16000'/>
      <payload-type id='8' name='PCMA'/>
      <payload-type id='13' name='CN'/>
    </description>
  

The <description/> element is intended to be a child of a <jingle/> element as specified in XEP-0166.

Each <payload-type/> element MAY contain one or more child elements that specify particular parameters related to the payload. For example, as described in RTP Payload Format for the Speex Codec [8], the "cng", "mode", and "vbr" parameters may be specified in relation to usage of the Speex [9] codec. Where such parameters are encoded via the "fmtp" SDP attribute, they shall be represented in Jingle via the following format:

<parameter name='foo' value='bar'/>
  

Note: The parameter names are effectively guaranteed to be unique, since the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [10] maintains a registry of SDP parameters (see <http://www.iana.org/assignments/sdp-parameters>).

5. Negotiating a Jingle Audio Session

When the initiator sends a session-initiate stanza to the receiver, the <description/> element includes all of the payload types that the initiator can receive for Jingle audio (each one encapsulated in a separate <payload-type/> element):

Example 2. Initiation Example

<iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' 
    to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
    id='jingleaudio1' 
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'>
          action='session-initiate'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='RTP/AVP'>
      <description xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns'>
        <payload-type id='96' name='speex' clockrate='16000'/>
        <payload-type id='97' name='speex' clockrate='8000'/>
        <payload-type id='18' name='G729'/>
        <payload-type id='103' name='L16' clockrate='16000' channels='2'/>
        <payload-type id='98' name='x-ISAC' clockrate='8000'/>
      </description>
      <transport xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html#ns-udp'/>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>
  

Upon receiving the session-initiate stanza, the receiver determines whether it can provisionally accept the session and proceed with the negotiation. The general Jingle error cases are specified in XEP-0166. In addition, the receiver must determine if it supports any of the payload types advertised by the initiator; if it does not, it MUST reject the session by sending a <unsupported-codecs/> error:

Example 3. Receiver Does Not Support Codecs

<iq type='error' 
    from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard' 
    id='jingleaudio1'>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <not-acceptable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
    <unsupported-codecs xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-errors'/>
  </error>
</iq>
  

If there is no error, the receiver provisionally accepts the session:

Example 4. Receiver Provisionally Accepts Session

  <iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
      to='romeo@montague.net/orchard' 
      id='jingleaudio1' 
      type='result'/>
  

The receiver then should send a list of the payload types that it can receive via a Jingle "content-accept" (or "session-accept") action. The list that the receiver sends MAY include any payload types (not a subset of the payload types sent by the initiator) but SHOULD retain the ID numbers and order specified by the initiator.

Example 5. Receiver Accepts Content Type

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard' 
    id='jingleaudio2' 
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'>
          action='content-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='RTP/AVP'>
      <description xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns'>
        <payload-type id='97' name='speex' clockrate='8000'/>
        <payload-type id='18' name='G729'/>
        <payload-type id='0' name='PCMU' />
        <payload-type id='102' name='iLBC'/>
        <payload-type id='4' name='G723'/>
        <payload-type id='8' name='PCMA'/>
        <payload-type id='13' name='CN'/>
      </description> 
      <transport xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html#ns-udp'/>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>
  

The initiator acknowledges the 'content-accept' with an empty IQ result:

Example 6. Initiator Acknowledges Modified Content Description

  <iq from='romeo@montegue.net/orchard' 
      to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
      id='jingleaudio2' 
      type='result'/>
  

After successful transport negotiation (not shown here), the receiver then accepts the session:

Example 7. Receiver Definitively Accepts the Session

<iq type='set' from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' to='romeo@montague.net/orchard' id='accept1'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          responder='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='initiator' name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='RTP/AVP'>
      <description xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns'/>
      <transport xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html#ns-udp'>
        <candidate component='2'
                   foundation='1'
                   generation='0' 
                   ip='192.0.2.3' 
                   network='1'
                   port='45664'
                   priority='1107821052'
                   protocol='udp'
                   pwd='asd88fgpdd777uzjYhagZg'
                   type='srflx'
                   ufrag='8hhy'/>
      </transport>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>
  

And the initiator acknowledges session acceptance:

Example 8. Initiator Acknowledges Session Acceptance

  <iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' 
      to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony' 
      id='accept1' 
      type='result'/>
  

6. Mapping to Session Description Protocol

If the payload type is static (payload-type IDs 0 through 95 inclusive), it MUST be mapped to a media field defined in RFC 4566. The generic format for the media field is as follows:

m=<media> <port> <transport> <fmt list>
  

In the context of Jingle audio sessions, the <media> is "audio", the <port> is the preferred port for such communications (which may be determined dynamically), the <transport> is whatever transport method is negotiated via the Jingle negotiation (e.g., "RTP/AVT"), and the <fmt list> is the payload-type ID.

For example, consider the following static payload-type:

Example 9. Jingle Format for Static Payload-Type

<payload-type id="13" name="CN"/>
  

Example 10. SDP Mapping of Static Payload-Type

m=audio 9999 RTP/AVP 13
  

If the payload type is dynamic (payload-type IDs 96 through 127 inclusive), it SHOULD be mapped to an SDP media field plus an SDP attribute field named "rtpmap".

For example, consider a payload of 16-bit linear-encoded stereo audio sampled at 16KHz associated with dynamic payload-type 96:

Example 11. Jingle Format for Dynamic Payload-Type

<payload-type id='96' name='speex' clockrate='16000'/>
  

Example 12. SDP Mapping of Dynamic Payload-Type

m=audio 9999 RTP/AVP 96
a=rtpmap:96 speex/16000
  

As noted, if additional parameters are to be specified, they shall be represented as attributes of the <payload-type/> element of the child <parameter/> element, as in the following example.

Example 13. Jingle Format for Dynamic Payload-Type With Parameters

<payload-type id='96' name='speex' clockrate='16000' ptime='40'>
  <parameter name='vbr' value='on'/>
  <parameter name='cng' value='on'/>
</payload-type>
  

Example 14. SDP Mapping of Dynamic Payload-Type With Parameters

m=audio 9999 RTP/AVP 96
a=rtpmap:96 speex/16000
a=ptime:40
a=fmtp:96 vbr=on;cng=on
  

7. Informational Messages

7.1 Format

Informational messages may be sent by either party within the context of Jingle to communicate the status of a Jingle audio session, device, or principal. The informational message MUST be an IQ-set containing a <jingle/> element of type "session-info", where the informational message is a payload element qualified by the 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info' namespace; the following payload elements are defined: [11]

Table 2: Information Payload Elements

Element Meaning
<active/> The principal or device is again actively participating in the session after having been on hold or on mute.
<hold/> The principal is temporarily pausing the chat (i.e., putting the other party on hold).
<mute/> The principal is temporarily stopping audio output but continues to accept audio input.
<ringing/> The device is ringing but the principal has not yet interacted with it to answer (this maps to the SIP 180 response code).

Note: Because the informational message is sent in an IQ-set, the receiving party MUST return either an IQ-result or an IQ-error (normally only an IQ-result to acknowledge receipt; no error flows are defined or envisioned at this time).

7.2 Examples

Example 15. Receiver Sends Active Message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='active1'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'>
          action='session-info'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <active xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>
    

Example 16. Receiver Sends Hold Message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='hold1'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-info'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <hold xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>
    

Example 17. Receiver Sends Mute Message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='mute1'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-info'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <mute xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>
    

Example 18. Receiver Sends Ringing Message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='ringing1'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-info'
          initiator='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <ringing xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>
    

8. Error Handling

The Jingle Audio-specific error conditions are as follows:

Table 3: Other Error Conditions

Jingle Condition XMPP Condition Description
<unsupported-codecs/> <not-acceptable/> The recipient does not support any of the offered audio encodings.

9. Determining Support

If an entity supports Jingle audio exchanges via RTP, it MUST advertise that fact by returning a feature of "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns" (see Protocol Namespaces regarding issuance of one or more permanent namespaces) in response to Service Discovery [12] information requests.

Example 19. Service Discovery Information Request

<iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='disco1'
    to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    type='get'>
  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
</iq>
  

Example 20. Service Discovery Information Response

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='disco1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    type='result'>
  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'>
    ...
    <feature var='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'/>
    <feature var='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns'/>
    ...
  </query>
</iq>
  

10. Implementation Notes

10.1 Codecs

Support for the Speex codec is RECOMMENDED.

10.2 DTMF

If it is necessary to send Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) tones, it is REQUIRED to use the XML format specified Jingle DTMF [13].

10.3 When to Listen

When the Jingle Audio content is accepted via a 'content-accept' action, both initiator and responder SHOULD start listening for audio as defined by the negotiated transport method and audio description. For interoperability with telephony systems, each entity SHOULD both play any audio received and send a ringing tone at this time (i.e., before the receiver sends a 'session-accept' action).

11. Security Considerations

In order to secure the data stream, implementations SHOULD use encryption methods appropriate to the transport method and media being exchanged; for example, in the case of UDP, that would include Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) as specified in RFC 4347 [14]. RTP Over DTLS [15] defines such methods for the Session Description Protocol; the relevant RTP profile (e.g., "UDP/TLS/RTP/AVP" for transporting the RTP stream over DTLS with UDP) shall be specified as the value of the <content/> element's 'profile' attribute.

12. IANA Considerations

This document requires no interaction with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [16].

13. XMPP Registrar Considerations

13.1 Protocol Namespaces

Until this specification advances to a status of Draft, its associated namespaces shall be "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns" and "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns-info"; upon advancement of this specification, the XMPP Registrar [17] shall issue permanent namespaces in accordance with the process defined in Section 4 of XMPP Registrar Function [18].

13.2 Jingle Content Description Formats

The XMPP Registrar shall include "audio-rtp" in its registry of Jingle content description formats. The registry submission is as follows:

<content>
  <name>audio-rtp</name>
  <desc>Jingle sessions that support audio exchange via the Real-time Transport Protocol</desc>
  <transport>lossy</transport>
  <doc>XEP-0167</doc>
</content>
