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 an application format for negotiating Jingle audio sessions, where the media is exchanged over the Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP; see RFC 3550 [2]).

2. Requirements

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

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

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 application format 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 Application 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 [4] or the "ice-udp" method specified in Jingle ICE-UDP Transport Method [5], but MAY use a reliable transport such as "ice-tcp" if a low-bandwidth codec is employed.

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

4. Application Format

A Jingle audio session is described by a content type that contains one application format and one transport method. The application format consists of one or more encodings contained within a wrapper <description/> element qualified by the 'http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html#ns' namespace (see Protocol Namespaces regarding issuance of one or more permanent namespaces). In the language of RFC 4566 each encoding is a payload-type; therefore, each <payload-type/> element specifies an encoding that can be used for the audio stream, as illustrated in the following example.

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 <content/> element as specified in XEP-0166.

The <content/> element SHOULD possess a 'profile' attribute that specifies the exact protocol in use as would be encapsulated in SDP (e.g., "RTP/AVP" or "UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP").

The encodings SHOULD be provided in order of preference by placing the most-preferred <payload-type/> element as the first child of the <description/> element (etc.).

The allowable attributes of the <payload-type/> element are as follows:

Table 1: Payload-Type 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

In Jingle Audio, the 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 [6] (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 payload IDs are represented in the 'id' attribute.

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 [7], the "cng", "mode", and "vbr" parameters may be specified in relation to usage of the Speex [8] 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) [9] 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 responder, 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

<iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    id='jingleaudio1'
    to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    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 responder determines whether it can proceed with the negotiation. The general Jingle error cases are specified in XEP-0166 and illustrated in the Scenarios section of this document.

If there is no error, the responder acknowledges the session initiation request.

Example 3. Responder acknowledges session-initiate

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

The responder 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 responder sends MAY include any payload types (not a subset of the payload types sent by the initiator) but SHOULD retain the ID numbers specified by the initiator. The order of the <payload-type/> elements indicates the responder's preferences, with the most-preferred types first.

Example 4. Responder accepts content type

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='jingleaudio2'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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 5. Initiator acknowledges modified application format

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

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

Example 6. Responder definitively accepts the session

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='accept1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <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'>
        <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'>
        <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 7. Initiator acknowledges session acceptance

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

Note: Because a "session-accept" action implicitly indicates acceptance of the application format (i.e., "content-accept"), it is not necessary to send a separate "content-accept" action. This flow is shown for completeness only.

6. Mapping to Session Description Protocol

The SDP media type for Jingle Audio via RTP is "audio" (see Section 8.2.1 of RFC 4566).

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 profile is negotiated via the 'profile' attribute of the <content/> element in the Jingle negotiation (e.g., "RTP/AVP"), and the <fmt list> is the payload-type ID.

For example, consider the following static payload-type:

Example 8. Jingle format for static payload-type

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

That Jingle-formatted information would be mapped to SDP as follows:

Example 9. 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 10. Jingle format for dynamic payload-type

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

That Jingle-formatted information would be mapped to SDP as follows:

Example 11. 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 <parameter/> child of the <payload-type/> element, as in the following example.

Example 12. 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>

That Jingle-formatted information would be mapped to SDP as follows:

Example 13. 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: [10]

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 14. Responder sends active message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='active1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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 15. Responder sends hold message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='hold1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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 16. Responder sends mute message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='mute1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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 17. Responder sends ringing message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='ringing1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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. 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 [11] information requests.

Example 18. 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 19. 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>

Naturally, support MAY also be determined via the dynamic, presence-based profile of Service Discovery defined in Entity Capabilities [12].

9. Scenarios

The following sections show a number of Jingle audio scenarios, in relative order of complexity.

9.1 Responder is Busy

In this scenario, Romeo initiates a voice chat with Juliet but she is otherwise engaged.

The session flow is as follows:

Romeo                         Juliet
  |                             |
  |   session-initiate          |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   ack                       |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   session-info (ringing)    |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   terminate                 |
  |   (reasoncode = busy)       |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |                             |

The protocol flow is as follows.

Example 20. Initiator sends session-initiate

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='jingle1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-initiate'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          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'>
        <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>

Example 21. Responder sends provisional acceptance

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

Example 22. Responder sends ringing message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='ringing1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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>

Example 23. Initiator acknowledges ringing message

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='ringing1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

Example 24. Responder terminates the session

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='term1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>

9.2 Jingle Audio via RTP/AVP, Negotiated with ICE-UDP

In this scenario, Romeo initiates a voice chat with Juliet using a transport method of ICE-UDP. The parties also exchange informational messages.

The session flow is as follows:

Romeo                         Juliet

                   ufrag='8hhy'/>
      </transport>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

For each candidate received, the other party acknowledges receipt or returns an error:

Example 33. Responder acknowledges receipt

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='info1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='info2'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='info3'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

At the same time (i.e., immediately after acknowledging the session-initation request, not waiting for the initiator to begin or finish sending candidates), the responder also begins sending candidates that may work for it. As above, the initiator acknowledges receipt of the candidates.

As the initiator and responder receive candidates, they probe the various candidate transports for connectivity. In performing these connectivity checks, the parties follow the procedure specified in Section 7 of draft-ietf-mmusic-ice.

If one of the candidate transports is found to work, the responder accepts the session.

Example 34. Responder sends session-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='accept1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          responder='juliet@capulet.lit/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'>
        <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'>
        <candidate ip='208.245.212.67' port='9876' generation='0'/>
      </transport>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

If the payload types and transport candidate can be successfully used by both parties, then the initiator acknowledges the session-accept action.

Example 35. Initiator acknowledges session-accept

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

The parties now begin to exchange media. In this case they would exchange audio using the Speex codec at a clockrate of 8000 since that is the highest-priority codec for the responder (as determined by the XML order of the <payload-type/> children).

The parties may continue the session as long as desired.

Eventually, one of the parties terminates the session.

Example 36. Responder terminates the session

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='term1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-terminate'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          reasoncode='no-error'
          reasontext='Sorry, gotta go!'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'/>
</iq>

The other party then acknowledges termination of the session:

Example 37. Initiator acknowledges termination

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='term1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'

9.3 Jingle Audio and Video via RTP/AVP, Negotiated with ICE-UDP

In this scenario, Romeo initiates a combined audio and video chat with Juliet using a transport method of ICE-UDP. Juliet at first refuses the video portion, then later offers to add video, which Romeo accepts. The parties also exchange various informational messages

The session flow is as follows:

The protocol flow is as follows.

    id='ringing1'

    type='result'/>

However, Juliet doesn't want to do video because she is having a bad hair day, so she sends a "content-remove" request to Romeo.

Example 42. Responder requests content-remove

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='remove1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>

    <content creator='initiator' name='this-is-the-video-content' profile='RTP/AVP'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>

Romeo then acknowledges the content-remove request and, if it is acceptable, returns a content-accept:

Example 43. Initiator acknowledges content-remove

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='remove1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'

    <content creator='responder' name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='RTP/AVP'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>

The other party then acknowledges the acceptance.

Example 45. Responder acknowledges content-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='remove2'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

As in the previous scenario, the parties exchange ICE candidates (see above for examples).

Once the parties find candidate transports that work, the responder accepts the session.

Example 46. Responder sends session-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='accept1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>

      </transport>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

As above, if the payload types and transport candidate can be successfully used by both parties, then the initiator acknowledges the session-accept action.

Example 47. Initiator acknowledges session-accept

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

The parties now begin to exchange media. In this case they would exchange audio using the Speex codec at a clockrate of 8000 since that is the highest-priority codec for the responder (as determined by the XML order of the <payload-type/> children).

The parties chat for a while. Eventually Juliet wants to get her hair in order so she puts Romeo on hold.

Example 48. Responder sends hold message

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

Example 49. Initiator acknowledges hold message

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='hold1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

Juliet returns so she informs Romeo that she is actively engaged in the call again.

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='active1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

The parties now continue the audio chat.

Finally Juliet decides that she is presentable for a video chat so she sends a content-add request to Romeo.

Example 52. Responder sends a content-add

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='add1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='content-add'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='responder' name='video-is-back' profile='RTP/AVP'>
      <description xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0180.html#ns'>
        <payload-type id='96' name='theora' height='720' width='1280'>
          <parameter name='delivery-method' value='inline'/>
          <parameter name='configuration' value='somebase16string'/>
          <parameter name='sampling' value='YCbCr-4:2:2'/>
        </payload-type>
        <payload-type id='32' name='MPV' clockrate='90000'/>
        <payload-type id='33' name='MP2T' clockrate='90000'/>
      </description>
      <transport xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html#ns'>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

The entity receiving the content-add request then acknowledges the request and, if it is acceptable, returns a content-accept:

Example 53. Initiator acknowledges content-add

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='add1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

Example 54. Initiator accepts content type definition

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='add2'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='content-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='responder' name='video-is-back' profile='RTP/AVP'>

          <parameter name='configuration' value='somebase16string'/>
          <parameter name='sampling' value='YCbCr-4:2:2'/>
        </payload-type>
        <payload-type id='32' name='MPV' clockrate='90000'/>
        <payload-type id='33' name='MP2T' clockrate='90000'/>
      </description>
      <transport xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0176.html#ns'/>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

The other party then acknowledges the acceptance.

Example 55. Responder acknowledges content-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='add2'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

The media session proceeds. Now they would exchange both audio and video, where the audio is exchanged the Speex codec at a clockrate of 8000 and the video is exchanged using the Theora codec with a height of 720 pixels, a width of 1280 pixels, and so on.

The parties may continue the session as long as desired.

Eventually, one of the parties terminates the session.

Example 56. Initiator sends session-terminate

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='term1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-terminate'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          reasoncode='no-error'
          reasontext='I&apos;m outta here!'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'/>
</iq>

Example 57. Responder acknowledges session-terminate

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='term1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

9.4 Secure Jingle Audio via UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP, Negotiated with ICE-UDP

In this scenario, Romeo initiates a voice chat with Juliet using a transport method of ICE-UDP and an unencrypted profile of "RTP/AVP", but Juliet wants to chat securely so she requests the use of a secure transport as specified in RTP Over DTLS [13] (via a profile of "UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP").

The session flow is as follows:

Romeo                         Juliet
  |                             |
  |   session-initiate          |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   ack                       |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   session-info (ringing)    |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   content-modify            |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   content-accept            |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   ack                       |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   transport-info (X times)  |
  |   (with acks)               |
  |<--------------------------->|
  |   session-accept            |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |   AUDIO (RTP)               |
  |<===========================>|
  |   session-terminate         |
  |<----------------------------|
  |   ack                       |
  |---------------------------->|
  |                             |

The protocol flow is as follows.

Example 58. Initiator sends session-initiate

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='jingle1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'

        <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>

Example 59. Responder acknowledges session-initiate

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='jingle1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

Example 60. Responder sends ringing message

<iq from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
    id='ringing1'
    to='romeo@montague.net/orchard'
    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>

Example 61. Initiator acknowledges ringing message

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='ringing1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

However, Juliet wants to make sure that the communications are encrypted, so she sends a "content-modify" request to Romeo.

Example 62. Responder requests content-modify

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='mod1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='content-modify'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='responder'
             name='this-is-the-audio-content'
             profile='UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>

Romeo then acknowledges the content-modify request and, if it is acceptable, returns a content-accept:

Example 63. Initiator acknowledges content-modify

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='mod1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

Example 64. Initiator accepts content definition

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='mod2'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='content-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='responder' name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP'/>
  </jingle>
</iq>

The other party then acknowledges the acceptance.

Example 65. Responder acknowledges content-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='mod2'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='result'/>

As in the previous scenario, the parties exchange ICE candidates (see above for examples).

If one of the candidate transports is found to work, the responder accepts the session.

Example 66. Responder sends session-accept

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='accept1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-accept'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          responder='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'>
    <content creator='initiator' name='this-is-the-audio-content' profile='UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP'>
      <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'>
        <candidate ip='208.245.212.67' port='9876' generation='0'/>
      </transport>
    </content>
  </jingle>
</iq>

If the payload types and transport candidate can be successfully used by both parties, then the initiator acknowledges the session-accept action.

Example 67. Initiator acknowledges session-accept

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

The parties now begin to exchange media. In this case they would exchange audio using the Speex codec at a clockrate of 8000 since that is the highest-priority codec for the responder (as determined by the XML order of the <payload-type/> children).

The parties may continue the session as long as desired.

Eventually, one of the parties terminates the session.

Example 68. Responder terminates the session

<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    id='term1'
    to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    type='set'>
  <jingle xmlns='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html#ns'
          action='session-terminate'
          initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
          reasoncode='no-error'
          reasontext='Sorry, gotta go!'
          sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'/>
</iq>

The other party then acknowledges termination of the session:

Example 69. Initiator acknowledges termination

<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
    id='term1'
    to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'
    type='result'/>

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 [14].

10.3 When to Listen

When the Jingle Audio content type 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 application format. For interoperability with telephony systems, after the responder acknowledges the session initiation request, the responder SHOULD send a "ringing" message and both parties SHOULD play any audio received.

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 [15]. The work-in-progress draft-fishl-mmusic-sdp-dtls defines such methods for the Session Description Protocol; the relevant RTP profile (e.g., "UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP" 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:

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].

The following namespaces are requested, and are thought to be unique per the XMPP Registrar's requirements:

13.2 Jingle Application Formats

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

<application>
  <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>
</application>
