The document discusses Jingle, an open standard for real-time communication over XMPP. Jingle allows for voice, video, and other media to be transmitted using XMPP. It works by negotiating sessions and content between clients and uses techniques like STUN and ICE to traverse NATs and establish peer-to-peer connections. Jingle has been implemented in open source libraries and supports a federated network not dependent on any single company. While still being developed, Jingle shows promise as an open alternative to proprietary protocols like Skype for real-time communication over XMPP.

The Vision: - People wouldnt stop asking for voice chat to be added to XMPP. - or - Worldwide federated network that combines messaging, presence and voice. Ensure there are Open Source tools for all of it. Current approaches dont work - Skype - Closed network - Proprietary protocol - SIP - Poor protocol for IM and presence - Very little world-wide federation - Most implementations dont do Skype-type p2p In this talk - XMPP Overview - All about Jingle - Protocol flow - NAT traversal (ICE) - Open Source implementations - Others uses for Jingle
XMPP - eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol - Open standard approved by the IETF as RFC 3920 and 3921, maintained and extended by the XMPP Standards Foundation - Countless servers and clients deployed in an open federation. - XMPP already won as the open standard for IM
XMPP Protocol Basics - XML based, making it very easy to use and extend - Strong security (TLS) and identity protection built-in Secure Communications with Jabber Peter Saint-Andre Time: 11:35AM - 12:20PM Location: D137-138 - Major packet types: Message, Presence and IQ Sample XMPP Message
XEPs: XMPP Extension Protocols - Core RFCs are extended through an open process by the XSF - Key extensions cover multi-user chat, file transfer, avatars, publish-subscribe - Jingle is a set of XEPs Example packet extension

Do you want a session? Session Negotiation 2. What kind of session do you want to negotiate? (voice, video, file transfer?) Content Negotiation 3. How are we going to make this session work? (direct connect, ICE, media proxy?) Transport Negotiation - <iq from='romeo@montague.net/orchard to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony id='jingle1 type='set'>
Transport approaches 1. Always use the server to transport media - Pro: always works (were using the server to send XMPP packets already) - Con: overloads the server, may be too slow for real-time protocols like voice/video. (~2000 concurrent users max) 2. Try to go peer to peer - Pro: scales forever. Best way to build a worldwide network. - Con: gets really complicated with firewalls and NATs.
Making peer to peer work - Step 1: try direct connect between IP addresses. (typically only works inside a local network) - Step 2: if #1 fails, the parties are probably behind a firewall or NAT. Do some crazy stuff to punch through. (can work up to 90% of the time) - Step 3: if #2 fails, theres a pretty strict firewall in place so failover to using the server (media relay) (catch the other 10% or so)
- The sum of these techniques is ICE, at the cutting edge of VoIP connectivity
Jingle connection architecture What is NAT? - Problem: the internet was running out of IPv4 addresses Whoops. In the same category as the fake Bill Gates quote: 640K ought to be enough for anybody - Solution: group a bunch of computers behind a single IP address using Network Address Translation You dont know your public IP when behind a NAT. The NAT device dynamically assigns ports to internal hosts to keep all the network traffic going to the right places - Better Solution: IPv6 bigger addresses (not being adopted worldwide anytime soon) 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 addresses, or enough to give multiple IP addresses to every grain of sand on the planet. Could run into problems when humans conquer multiple galaxies? Crazy stuff: punching through NATs - Step 1: use a STUN server to find your public IP address - Me: Hey STUN server, I dont know my IP Address. Can you help? NUTS (the STUN server): Looking at the packet you sent me, I see that the IP address of your NAT device is AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD Me: Sweet! - Step 2: figure out more stuff using the STUN server - Me: Ok, now I want to check to see what my NAT device does with ports. Does the public port change when I connect to different IP addresses? NUTS: Well, good question. I have another IP address you can connect to in order to try that. Me: Awesome, I tried that out and now I know more about my NAT device. Based on my local addresses, what you told me, plus what the other guy told me, I now have have a bunch of address/port options I can try with the other party. NUTS: No problem, glad to help! Buh-bye. - Step 3: connectivity checking to try to create a hole - Me: Can you hear me on this IP/port? You: [Silence] Me: Hmm, the last one didnt work. How about this one? You: [Silence] Me: This is taking awhile arg! How about this one? You: I hear you, I hear you! Yay, we found a hole. - (Punching holes works better with UDP vs. TCP) Jingle Client Libraries - libjingle from Google -- http://code.google.com/apis/talk/libjingle/index.html - Telepathy -- http://telepathy.freedesktop.org - Smack http://www.igniterealtime.org Jingle server support - Openfire: an Open Source XMPP server with enhancements for Jingle.
1. Built-in media relay - Without it, P2P calls wont always complete 2. Built-in STUN server - Without it, youll have to use public STUN servers Jingle: not just for voice - File transfer - Screen sharing - Video - Whiteboard - Anything else that uses a lot of bandwidth or that does streaming Jingle: whats missing - Havent defined a way to do VoIP conferencing - Advanced call controls are missing (hold, transfer, etc). Theres a general consensus that this stuff shouldnt be added to Jingle. Leave it to SIP. - Other Jingle content types (besides audio) are either not defined or immature Current Jingle status - Standards work on the fundamentals and audio content profile is wrapping up. - Waiting for Google to switch to official Jingle protocol. - Need interop work between different implementations.
- Jingle is poised to fulfill its promise as an open standard for a federated, world-wide VoIP network. Questions? - Contact me via IM or email: - matt@jivesoftware.com
