Interworking between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP):
Architecture, Addresses, and Error Handling
Abstract
As a foundation for the definition of bidirectional protocol mappings
between the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Extensible
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), this document specifies the
architectural assumptions underlying such mappings as well as the
mapping of addresses and error conditions.

RFC 7247 SIP-XMPP Interworking: Core May 2014
1. Introduction
The IETF has worked on two signaling technologies that can be used
for multimedia session negotiation, instant messaging, presence,
capabilities discovery, notifications, and other functions served by
real-time communication applications:
o The Session Initiation Protocol [RFC3261], along with various SIP
extensions developed within the SIP for Instant Messaging and
Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) Working Group.
o The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol [RFC6120], along
with various XMPP extensions developed by the IETF as well as by
the XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF).
Because these technologies are widely deployed, it is important to
clearly define mappings between them for the sake of interworking.
This document provides the basis for a series of SIP-XMPP
interworking specifications by defining architectural assumptions,
address translation methods, and error condition mappings. Other
