1.  Introduction

   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

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015               [Page 2]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

      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
   vice versa), since 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, subscription,
   notification, etc.) are explained in [RFC3261], [RFC3856], [RFC6120],
   and [RFC6121].  This document uses some, but not all, of the terms
   defined in the Model for Presence and Instant Messaging [RFC2778].

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015               [Page 3]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   In flow diagrams, SIP traffic is shown using arrows such as "***>",
   whereas XMPP traffic is shown using arrows such as "...>".

   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.  Subscriptions to Presence Information

4.1.  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 subscriptions are specified in [RFC6121].
   Presence subscriptions using a SIP event package for presence are
   specified in [RFC3856].

   As described in [RFC6121], XMPP presence subscriptions are managed
   using XMPP <presence/> stanzas of type "subscribe", "subscribed",
   "unsubscribe", and "unsubscribed".  The main subscription states are:

   o  "none" (neither the user nor the contact is subscribed to the
      other's presence information)

   o  "from" (the user has a subscription from the contact)

   o  "to" (the user has a subscription to the contact's presence
      information)

   o  "both" (both user and contact are subscribed to each other's
      presence information)

   As described in [RFC3856], SIP presence subscriptions are managed
   through the use of SIP SUBSCRIBE events sent from a SIP user agent to
   an intended recipient who is most generally referenced by a Presence
   URI of the form <pres:user@domain> but who might be referenced by a
   SIP or SIPS ((Session Initiation Protocol Secure) URI of the form
   <sip:user@domain> or <sips:user@domain>.  In practice, 'pres' URIs
   are rarely used, which is why the examples in this document use 'sip'
   URIs.

   The subscription models underlying XMPP and SIP differ mainly in the
   fact that XMPP presence subscriptions are long-lived (indeed
   permanent if not explicitly cancelled, so that a subscription need
   never be refreshed during any given presence "session"), whereas SIP
   presence subscriptions are short-lived (the default time-to-live of a
   SIP presence subscription is 3600 seconds, as specified in

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015               [Page 4]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   Section 6.4 of [RFC3856], so that a subscription needs to be
   explicitly refreshed if it will have the appearance of being
   permanent or even of lasting as long as the duration of a presence
   "session").  This disparity has implications for the handling of
   subscription cancellations in either direction and, from the SIP
   side, subscription refreshes.

4.2.1.  Establishing a Presence Subscription

   The following diagram illustrates the protocol flow for establishing
   a presence subscription from an XMPP user to a SIP user, as further
   explained in the text and examples after the diagram.

    |            |            |            |

   An XMPP user (e.g., juliet@example.com) initiates a subscription by
   sending a subscription request to a contact (e.g.,
   romeo@example.net), and the contact either accepts or declines the
   request.  If the contact accepts the request, the user will have a
   subscription to the contact's presence information until (1) the user
   unsubscribes or (2) the contact cancels the subscription.  The
   subscription request is encapsulated in a <presence/> stanza of type
   "subscribe":

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015               [Page 6]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   Example 1: XMPP User Subscribes to SIP Contact (F1)

   |  <presence from='juliet@example.com'
   |            to='romeo@example.net'
   |            type='subscribe'/>

   Upon receiving such a <presence/> 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 <presence/> stanza to
   an associated XMPP-to-SIP gateway or connection manager that natively
   communicates with presence-aware SIP servers.

   The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is then responsible for translating the XMPP
   subscription request into a SIP SUBSCRIBE request addressed from the
   XMPP user to the SIP user:

   Example 2: SIP Transformation of XMPP Subscription Request (F2)

   |  SUBSCRIBE sip:romeo@example.net SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP x2s.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  To: <sip:romeo@example.com>;tag=ffd2
   |  From: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=j89d
   |  Call-ID: 5BCF940D-793D-43F8-8972-218F7F4EAA8C
   |  Event: presence
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:x2s.example.com;transport=tcp>
   |  Accept: application/pidf+xml
   |  Expires: 3600
   |  Content-Length: 0

   Once the SIP-to-XMPP gateway has passed the SIP SUBSCRIBE off to the
   SIP server and the SIP server has delivered the SIP SUBSCRIBE to the
   SIP user (F3, no example shown), the SIP user then would send a
   response indicating acceptance of the subscription request:

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015               [Page 7]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   Example 3: SIP User Accepts Subscription Request (F4)

   |  SIP/2.0 200 OK
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP s2x.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=ffd2
   |  To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=j89d
   |  Call-ID: 5BCF940D-793D-43F8-8972-218F7F4EAA8C
   |  CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Expires: 3600
   |  Content-Length: 0

   In accordance with [RFC6665], the XMPP-to-SIP gateway SHOULD consider
   the subscription state to be "neutral" until it receives a NOTIFY
   message.  Therefore, the SIP user or SIP-to-XMPP gateway at the SIP
   user's domain SHOULD immediately send a NOTIFY message containing a
   Subscription-State header [RFC6665] whose value contains the string
   "active" (see Section 5 below).

   Example 4: SIP User Sends Presence Notification (F6)

   |  NOTIFY sip:192.0.2.1 SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=ffd2
   |  To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=j89d
   |  Call-ID: 5BCF940D-793D-43F8-8972-218F7F4EAA8C
   |  Event: presence
   |  Subscription-State: active;expires=499
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 2 NOTIFY
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Content-Type: application/pidf+xml
   |  Content-Length: 193
   |
   |  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
   |  <presence xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf'
   |            entity='pres:romeo@example.net'>
   |    <tuple id='ID-dr4hcr0st3lup4c'>
   |      <status>
   |        <basic>open</basic>
   |        <show xmlns='jabber:client'>away</show>
   |      </status>
   |    </tuple>
   |  </presence>

   In response, the presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway would send a 200
   OK to the SIP user (not shown here, since it is not translated into
   an XMPP stanza).

Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   Upon receiving the first NOTIFY with a subscription state of active,
   the XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST generate a <presence/> stanza of type
   "subscribed":

   Example 5: XMPP User Receives Acknowledgement from SIP Contact (F9)

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net'
   |            to='juliet@example.com'
   |            type='subscribed'/>

   As described in Section 5, the gateway MUST also generate a presence
   notification addressed to the XMPP user:

   Example 6: XMPP User Receives Presence Notification from SIP Contact
   (F10)

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net/dr4hcr0st3lup4c'
   |            to='juliet@example.com'/>

4.2.2.  Refreshing a Presence Subscription

   It is the responsibility of the XMPP-to-SIP gateway to set the value
   of the Expires header and to periodically renew the subscription on
   the SIMPLE side of the gateway so that the subscription appears to be
   permanent to the XMPP user.  For example, the XMPP-to-SIP gateway
   SHOULD send a new SUBSCRIBE request to the SIP user whenever the XMPP
   user initiates a presence session with the XMPP server by sending
   initial presence to its XMPP server.  The XMPP-to-SIP gateway also
   SHOULD send a new SUBSCRIBE request to the SIP user whenever the SIP
   presence subscription 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 presence subscription are provided in
   [RFC6665].  Those rules also apply to XMPP-to-SIP gateways.
   Furthermore, an XMPP-to-SIP gateway MUST consider the XMPP
   subscription 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 maintain the long-lived XMPP presence
   subscription.  [RFC6665] explains more detailed considerations about
   the handling of SIP responses in relation to subscription requests
   and refreshes.

   Finally, see the security considerations section (Section 8) of this
   document for important information and requirements regarding the
   security implications of subscription refreshes.

   At any time after subscribing, the XMPP user can unsubscribe from the
   contact's presence.  This is done by sending a <presence/> stanza of
   type "unsubscribe":

   Example 7: XMPP User Unsubscribes from SIP Contact (F11)

   |  <presence from='juliet@example.com'
   |            to='romeo@example.net'
   |            type='unsubscribe'/>

   The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is responsible for translating the
   unsubscribe command into a SIP SUBSCRIBE request with the Expires
   header set to a value of zero:

    |           |            |           |

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

   Example 10: SIP User Subscribes to XMPP Contact (F17)

   |  SUBSCRIBE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP s2x.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  To: <sip:juliet@example.net>;tag=ur93
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=xfg9
   |  Call-ID: AA5A8BE5-CBB7-42B9-8181-6230012B1E11
   |  Event: presence
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Accept: application/pidf+xml
   |  Content-Length: 0

   Notice that the Expires header was not included in the SUBSCRIBE
   request; this means that the default value of 3600 (i.e., 3600
   seconds = 1 hour) applies.

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 12]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   Upon receiving the SUBSCRIBE, the SIP server needs to determine the
   identity of the domain portion of the Request-URI or To header, which
   it does by following the procedures explained in Section 5 of
   [RFC7247].  If the domain is an XMPP domain, the SIP server 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 subscription request addressed from the SIP
   user to the XMPP user:

   Example 11: XMPP Transformation of SIP SUBSCRIBE (F18)

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net'
   |            to='juliet@example.com'
   |            type='subscribe'/>

   In accordance with [RFC6121], once it receives the stanza from the
   XMPP-to-SIP gateway, the XMPP user's server MUST deliver the presence
   subscription request to the XMPP user (or, if a subscription already
   exists in the XMPP user's roster, the XMPP server SHOULD auto-reply
   with a <presence/> stanza of type 'subscribed').

   If the XMPP user approves the subscription request, the XMPP server
   then MUST return a <presence/> stanza of type "subscribed" addressed
   from the XMPP user to the SIP user.  The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is
   responsible for translating the <presence/> stanza of type
   "subscribed" into a SIP 200 OK response.

   If the XMPP user declines the subscription request, the XMPP server
   then MUST return a <presence/> stanza of type "unsubscribed"
   addressed from the XMPP user to the SIP user and the XMPP-to-SIP
   gateway MUST transform that stanza into an empty SIP NOTIFY message
   with a Subscription-State header [RFC6665] of "terminated" and a
   reason of "rejected":

   Example 12: Subscription Request Rejected

   |  CSeq: 2 NOTIFY
   |  Contact: <sip:x2s.example.com;transport=tcp>
   |  Content-Type: application/pidf+xml
   |  Content-Length: 0

4.3.2.  Refreshing a Presence Subscription

   For as long as a SIP user is online and interested in receiving
   presence notifications from the XMPP contact, the user's SIP user
   agent is responsible for periodically refreshing the subscription by
   sending an updated SUBSCRIBE request with an appropriate value for
   the Expires header.  In response, the presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP
   gateway MUST send a SIP NOTIFY to the user agent (per [RFC6665]); if
   the gateway has meaningful information about the availability state
   of the XMPP user (e.g., obtained from the core presence session in
   the XMPP server) then the NOTIFY MUST communicate that information
   (e.g., by including a PIDF body [RFC3863] with the relevant data),
   whereas if the gateway does not have meaningful information about the
   availability state of the XMPP user then the NOTIFY MUST be empty as
   allowed by [RFC6665].

   Once the SIP user ends its presence session, it is the responsibility
   of the presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway to properly handle the
   difference between short-lived SIP presence subscriptions and long-
   lived XMPP presence subscriptions.  The gateway has two options when
   the SIP user's subscription expires:

   o  Cancel the subscription (i.e., treat it as temporary) and send an
      XMPP <presence/> stanza of type "unsubscribe" to the XMPP contact;
      this honors the SIP semantic but will seem strange to the XMPP
      contact (since it will appear that the SIP user has cancelled a
      long-lived subscription).

   o  Maintain the subscription (i.e., treat it as long-lived) and:

      1.  send a SIP NOTIFY request to the SIP user 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"

      2.  send an XMPP <presence/> stanza of type "unavailable" to the
          XMPP contact; this violates the letter of the SIP semantic but
          will seem more natural to the XMPP contact

   Which of these options a presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway chooses
   is up to the implementation.

   If the implementation chooses the first option, the protocol
   generated would be as follows:

   Example 13: XMPP Handling of Temporary Subscription Expiry

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net'
   |            to='juliet@example.com'
   |            type='unsubscribe'/>

   If the implementation chooses the second option, the protocol
   generated would be as follows:

   |            to='juliet@example.com'
   |            type='unavailable'/>

4.3.3.  Cancelling a Presence Subscription

   At any time, the SIP user can cancel the subscription by sending a
   SUBSCRIBE message whose Expires header is set to a value of zero
   ("0"):

   Example 16: SIP User Cancels Subscription

   |  SUBSCRIBE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=ur93
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=xfg9
   |  Call-ID: AA5A8BE5-CBB7-42B9-8181-6230012B1E11
   |  Event: presence
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 66 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Expires: 0
   |  Content-Length: 0

   As above, upon receiving such a request, a presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP
   gateway is responsible for doing one of the following:

   o  Cancel the subscription (i.e., treat it as temporary) and send an
      XMPP <presence/> stanza of type "unsubscribe" to the XMPP contact.

   o  Maintain the subscription (i.e., treat it as long-lived) and

      1.  send a SIP NOTIFY request to the SIP user 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"

      2.  send an XMPP <presence/> stanza of type "unavailable" to the
          XMPP contact

5.1.  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 <presence/> 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 <presence/> stanza sent over an
   XML stream.  This document assumes that such a <presence/> 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 <pres:user@domain> but who might be
   referenced by a SIP or SIPS URI of the form <sip:user@domain> or
   <sips:user@domain>.

   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].

5.2.  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 <presence/> stanza.  The syntax of the <presence/> stanza,
   including required and optional elements and attributes, is defined
   in [RFC6121].  The following is an example of such a stanza:

   Example 17: XMPP User Sends Presence Notification

   |  <presence from='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'/>

   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 (this is similar to the
   SIP NOTIFY method).  For each subscriber, broadcasting the presence
   notification involves either delivering it 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.  Thus
   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 <presence/> stanza to an associated XMPP-to-SIP gateway
   or connection manager that natively communicates with presence-aware
   SIP servers (no example shown).

   The XMPP-to-SIP gateway is then responsible for translating the XMPP
   <presence/> stanza into a SIP NOTIFY request and included PIDF
   document from the XMPP user to the SIP user.

   Table 1: Presence Syntax Mapping from XMPP to SIP

   Note the following regarding these mappings:

   1.  Only an XMPP <presence/> 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, since
       those are the only <presence/> 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 <presence/> 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 gateway MUST map that
       information to a PIDF basic status of "open".  Because a 'type'
       attribute with a value of "unavailable" indicates that an XMPP

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 20]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

       entity is not available communications, the gateway MUST map that
       information to a PIDF <basic/> status of "closed".

   5.  When the XMPP-to-SIP gateway receives XMPP presence of type
       "unavailable" from the XMPP contact, it MUST send a SIP NOTIFY
       request to the SIP user 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".

   6.  The value of the XMPP <priority/> element is an integer between
       -128 and +127, whereas the value of the PIDF <contact/> 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 <priority/> 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
       this information; however, there is no need to standardize a PIDF
       extension for this purpose, since PIDF is already extensible and
       thus the <show/> element can be included directly, qualified by
       the 'jabber:client' namespace 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.

   8.  Some implementations support custom extensions to encapsulate
       detailed information about availability; however, there is no
       need to standardize a PIDF extension for this purpose, since PIDF
       is already extensible and thus the <show/> 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, a
       gateway can choose to translate a custom extension into an
       established value of the <show/> element [RFC6121] or translate a
       <show/> element into a custom extension that the gateway knows is

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 21]

       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, a gateway
       ought to include both the <show/> element and the custom
       extension if the gateway cannot suitably translate the custom
       value into a <show/> value.

5.3.  SIP to XMPP

   When Romeo changes his presence, his SIP user agent generates a SIP
   NOTIFY request for any active subscriptions.  The syntax of the
   NOTIFY request is defined in [RFC3856].  The following is an example
   of such a request:

   Example 19: SIP User Sends Presence Notification

   |  NOTIFY sip:192.0.2.1 SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=yt66
   |  To: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=bi54
   |  Contact: <sip:romeo@example.net>;gr=dr4hcr0st3lup4c
   |  Call-ID: C33C6C9D-0F4A-42F9-B95C-7CE86B526B5B
   |  Event: presence
   |  Subscription-State: active;expires=499
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 8 NOTIFY
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Content-Type: application/pidf+xml
   |  Content-Length: 193
   |
   |  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
   |  <presence xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf'
   |            entity='pres:romeo@example.net'>
   |    <tuple id='ID-dr4hcr0st3lup4c'>
   |      <status>
   |        <basic>closed</basic>
   |      </status>
   |    </tuple>
   |  </presence>

   Upon receiving the NOTIFY, the SIP server needs to determine the
   identity of the domain portion of the Request-URI or To header, which
   it does by following the procedures discussed in [RFC7247].  If the
   domain is an XMPP domain, the SIP server will hand off the NOTIFY to
   an associated SIP-to-XMPP gateway or connection manager that natively
   communicates with XMPP servers.

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 22]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   The SIP-to-XMPP gateway is then responsible for translating the
   NOTIFY into an XMPP <presence/> stanza addressed from the SIP user to
   the XMPP user:

   Example 20: XMPP Transformation of SIP Presence Notification

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net'
   |            to='juliet@example.com/yn0cl4bnw0yr3vym'
   |            type='unavailable'/>

   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)                   |

      |  From                     |  from                       |

      |  priority for tuple       |  <priority/> (3)            |

      |  To                       |  to                         |
      +---------------------------+-----------------------------+
      |  <note/>                  |  <status/>                  |
      +---------------------------+-----------------------------+
      |  <show/>                  |  <show/> (4)                |
      +---------------------------+-----------------------------+

   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.  This mapping is OPTIONAL.

   3.  See the notes following Table 1 of this document regarding
       mapping of presence priority.

Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   4.  If a SIP implementation supports the <show/> 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.

6.  Requests for Presence Information

   Both SIP and XMPP provide methods for requesting presence information
   about another entity.

6.1.  XMPP to SIP

   In XMPP, a request for presence information is completed by sending a
   <presence/> stanza of type "probe":

   Example 21: XMPP Server Sends Presence Probe on Behalf of XMPP User

   |  <presence from='juliet@example.com/chamber'
   |            to='romeo@example.net'
   |            type='probe'/>

   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, since retrieving presence
   is a service that servers provide.

   An XMPP-to-SIP gateway would transform the presence probe into its
   SIP equivalent, which is a SUBSCRIBE request with an Expires header
   value of zero:

   Example 22: 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: <sip:juliet@example.com>;tag=j89d
   |  Call-ID: 5BCF940D-793D-43F8-8972-218F7F4EAA8C
   |  Event: presence
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:x2s.example.com;transport=tcp>
   |  Accept: application/pidf+xml
   |  Expires: 0
   |  Content-Length: 0

   As described in [RFC3856], this cancels any subscription but causes a
   NOTIFY to be sent to the subscriber, just as a presence probe does

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 24]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   (the transformation rules for presence notifications have been
   previously described in Section 5.2 of this document).

6.2.  SIP to XMPP

   In SIP, a request for presence information is effectively completed
   by sending a SUBSCRIBE with an Expires header value of zero:

   Example 23: SIP User Sends Presence Request

   |  SUBSCRIBE sip:juliet@example.com SIP/2.0
   |  Via: SIP/2.0/TCP simple.example.net;branch=z9hG4bKna998sk
   |  From: <sip:romeo@example.net>;tag=yt66
   |  Call-ID: 717B1B84-F080-4F12-9F44-0EC1ADE767B9
   |  Event: presence
   |  Max-Forwards: 70
   |  CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
   |  Contact: <sip:simple.example.net;transport=tcp>
   |  Expires: 0
   |  Content-Length: 0

   When honoring the long-lived semantics of an XMPP presence
   subscription, a presence-aware SIP-to-XMPP gateway MUST translate
   such a SIP request into a <presence/> stanza of type "probe" if it
   does not already have presence information about the contact:

   Example 24: XMPP Transformation of SIP Presence Request

   |  <presence from='romeo@example.net'
   |            to='juliet@example.com'
   |            type='probe'/>

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document makes no requests of IANA.

8.  Security Considerations

   Detailed 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]).

   The mismatch between long-lived XMPP presence subscriptions and
   short-lived SIP presence subscriptions introduces the possibility of
   an amplification attack launched from the XMPP network against a SIP
   presence server (since each long-lived XMPP presence subscription
   would typically result in multiple subscription refresh requests on
   the SIP side of a gateway).  Therefore, access to an XMPP-to-SIP

Saint-Andre             Expires December 13, 2015              [Page 25]
Internet-Draft       SIP-XMPP Interworking: Presence           June 2015

   gateway SHOULD be restricted in various ways; among other things,
   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 such a gateway (e.g., not
   a service that offers open account registration) and a gateway ought
   to be associated only with a single domain or trust realm (e.g., a
   gateway hosted at simple.example.com ought to allow only users within
   the example.com domain to access the gateway, not users within
   example.org, example.net, or any other domain).  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 gateway, it SHOULD (based on local service
   provisioning) refuse to service such users or refuse to receive
   traffic from with the gateway.  As a futher check, whenever an XMPP-
   to-SIP gateway seeks to refresh an XMPP user's long-lived
   subscription to a SIP user's presence, it MUST first send an XMPP
   <presence/> stanza of type "probe" from the address of the gateway to
   the "bare JID" (user@domain.tld) of the XMPP user, to which the
   user's XMPP server MUST respond in accordance with [RFC6121]; this
   puts an equal burden on the XMPP server and the SIP server.
