Message + sessions are treated like any other media stream when set up via a + rendezvous or session creation protocol such as the Session Initiation + Protocol (SIP). + + A series of related instant messages between two or more parties can be + viewed as part of a "message session", that is, a conversational exchange + of messages with a definite beginning and end. This is in contrast to + individual messages each sent independently. Messaging schemes that track + only individual messages can be described as "page-mode" messaging, + whereas messaging that is part of a "session" with a definite start and + end is called "session-mode" messaging. + + Page-mode messaging is enabled in SIP via the SIP MESSAGE method, as + defined in RFC 3428. Session-mode messaging has a number of benefits + over page-mode messaging, however, such as explicit rendezvous, tighter + integration with other media-types, direct client-to-client operation, + and brokered privacy and security. + + -- cgit v1.2.3
