h2. Background

5 73 Adrian Georgescu
Interoperability between XMPP and SIP protocol has become a necessity given that all closed and public Internet Services for Real Time Communications have migrated to a variant of these protocols, if not internally at least at their borders. Both protocols share common features, the most important one being the usage of Internet identifiers in the form of user@domain and replace the need for classic telephone numbers.

h2. Motivation
8 70 Adrian Georgescu
9 73 Adrian Georgescu
Various projects in the open source domain emerged to tackle the interoperability between XMPP and SIP but all focused on one-to-one Presence signaling or VoIP, but never in the context of complete interoperability for all signaling and media. SylkServer XMPP gateway application goal is to cover this gap and provide an open source implementation for interoperability for all relevant media types and multimedia conferencing for them.

The goal is to implement a bidirectional signaling and media gateway for Presence, Session based Instant Messaging, Multiparty IM, Audio, and File Transfer for SIP and XMPP signaling protocols, RTP and MSRP media planes. This software will work with ZERO configuration, a simple command like  "apt-get install sylkserver"  will be enough for deployment of the gateway on a Debian Linux OS. We consider Video beyond the basic need of interoperability but this may change at a later time.

By pointing the correspondent DNS records for SIP or XMPP services of a given Internet domain to the address of this gateway, any packet sent to or connection established to the gateway by one of the protocols is transparently translated into the other. The server is designed in such way that it requires zero-configuration (except of course for the DNS domains configuration).
