Abstract
Two separate models for conveying instant messages have been defined.Page-mode messages stand alone and are not part of a SessionInitiation Protocol (SIP) session, whereas session-mode messages are setup as part of a session using SIP. The Message Session Relay Protocol(MSRP) is a protocol for near real-time, peer-to-peer exchanges ofbinary content without intermediaries, which is designed to besignaled using a separate rendezvous protocol such as SIP. Thisdocument introduces the notion of message relay intermediaries to MSRPand describes the extensions necessary to use them. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
