The Message Session Relay Protocol
RFC 4975, “The Message Session Relay Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2007 by B. Campbell, R. Mahy, C. Jennings. It has since been updated by RFC 7977, RFC 8591, RFC 8873, RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Message Session Relay Protocol, a protocol for transmitting a series of related instant messages in the context of a session. 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. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
