Technical Summary
Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract
and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be
an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract
or introduction.
This document defines a bi-directional protocol mapping for the exchange of single
instant messages between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Extensible
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).
Working Group Summary
Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For
example, was there controversy about particular points or
were there decisions where the consensus was particularly
rough?
This document has been initially reviewed in the DISPATCH WG as per the RAI area
process for new work. The STOX WG has been chartered as a result of the submission
of this and other documents that aim to define specifications for interworking between
the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Extensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol (XMPP) based systems. This document has been subjected to a number of
thorough reviews initially in the DISPATCH WG and in the STOX WG after its creation.
All comments and suggestions of the reviewers have been taken into account in the
document subsequent updates. The document is short and focused on one specific
mapping definition and there were no controversial points regarding it.
Document Quality
Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a
significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that
merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If
there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review,
what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type
review, on what date was the request posted?
There are already several vendors having full or partial implementations of the
specification, among which Jabber/Cisco, Kamailio (OpenSER), AG Projects
(Silk Server). Some of the people behind these implementations have actively
participated in the discussions in the WG.
