1 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | A series of related instant messages between two or more parties can be |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | viewed as part of a "message session", that is, a conversational exchange of |
3 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | messages with a definite beginning and end. This is in contrast to |
4 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | individual messages each sent independently. Messaging schemes that track |
5 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | only individual messages can be described as "page-mode" messaging, whereas |
6 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | messaging that is part of a "session" with a definite start and end is |
7 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | called "session-mode" messaging. |

9 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | Page-mode messaging is enabled in SIP via the SIP MESSAGE method, as defined |
10 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | in RFC 3428. Session-mode messaging has a number of benefits over page-mode |
11 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | messaging, however, such as explicit rendezvous, tighter integration with |
12 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | other media-types, direct client-to-client operation, and brokered privacy |
13 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | and security. |

15 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) is a protocol for transmitting a |
16 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | series of related instant messages in the context of a session. Message |
17 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | sessions are treated like any other media stream when set up via a |
18 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | rendezvous or session creation protocol such as the Session Initiation |
19 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | Protocol (SIP). |
20 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | |
21 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | MSRP sessions are defined in RFC 4975. The relay extension that can be used |
22 | 1 | Tijmen de Mes | for NAT traversal purposes is defined in RFC 4976. |
