Background

  • Multiparty, or multi-user chat protocols have

existed since late 1980s

  • Some features common across most systems

– Nicknames (global, not necessarily unique, informal

name, != display name)

– Private messages – Sidebars (or at least, “channels” to which others can

be “invited”)

  • Other SDOs standardizing SIMPLE based chat

Changes Since -03

  • Complete rewrite
  • Got rid of DISTSEND

– Now all messages sent using SEND – CPIM To/From used for identification and routing

  • Nicknames

– Naming convention for sub-resources within a

conference

– sip:nordicguy%40chatroom@example.com

Issues

  • Missing some “nice-to-have” features

– Message history

  • Nicknames

– Do this in MSRP? – Generalize for all XCON / SIP conferences?

  • Sidebars

– Do this in MSRP? – Reuse XCON? Where is this defined?

Issues Cont'd

  • Everything related to authorization policy

– Heavy dependency to some of XCON work – Interim solution needed?

  • OMA dependency (or rather: indicated need)

– Does SIMPLE WG need to work on this?

Proposal 1

  • Continue in the current track
  • Interim solution

– Define the required chat-specific subset of

conferencing features in SIMPLE

– Full solution from XCON – Document transition path

  • Experimental track?

Proposal 2

  • Generalize nicknames, work on the rest in

SIMPLE

– SIP-level mechanism for reserving session “alias” or

nickname

– Usable for all conferences – Consider policy as well; perhaps something akin to

geopriv LO 'usage-rules'

Proposal 3

  • True balkanization of media

– Define all conference features in media-specific

ways

– Discontinue the XCON WG
