<abstract>
<para>
There are numerous possible protocols that can be used for communication
among clients.  They have many similarities and common needs, including
authentication, version negotiation, data typing, and connection management.  The <emphasis remap='I'> Inter-Client Exchange</emphasis> (ICE) protocol
is intended to provide a framework for building such protocols.  Using
ICE reduces the complexity of designing new protocols and
allows the sharing of many aspects of the implementation.
</para>
</abstract>

<chapter id='Purpose_and_Goals'>
<title>Purpose and Goals</title>

<para>
In discussing a variety of protocols -- existing, under development, and
hypothetical -- it was noted that they have many elements in common.  Most
protocols need mechanisms for authentication, for
version negotiation,
and for setting up and taking down connections.  There are also
cases where the same two parties need to talk to each other using multiple
protocols.  For example, an embedding relationship between two parties is
likely to require the simultaneous use of session management, data transfer,
focus negotiation, and command notification protocols.  While these are
logically separate protocols, it is desirable for them to share as many
pieces of implementation as possible.</para>

<para>The
<emphasis remap='I'>
Inter-Client Exchange
</emphasis>
(ICE) protocol provides a generic framework for building protocols on top of
reliable, byte-stream transport connections.  It provides basic mechanisms
for setting up and shutting down connections, for performing authentication,
for negotiating
versions,
and for reporting errors.  The
protocols running within an ICE connection are referred to here as
<emphasis remap='I'>subprotocols.</emphasis>
ICE provides facilities for each subprotocol to do its own version
negotiation, authentication, and error reporting.  In addition, if two
parties are communicating using several different subprotocols, ICE will
allow them to share the same transport layer connection.</para>

</chapter>

<chapter id='Overview_of_the_Protocol'>
<title>Overview of the Protocol</title>

<para>Through some mechanism outside ICE, two parties make themselves known to
each other and agree that they would like to communicate using an ICE
subprotocol.  ICE assumes that this negotation includes some notion by which
the parties will decide which is the \*Qoriginating\*U party and which is
the \*Qanswering\*U party.  The negotiation will also need to provide the
originating party with a name or address of the answering party.  Examples
of mechanisms by which parties can make themselves known to each other are
the X selection mechanism, environment
variables, and shared files.</para>

<para>The originating party first determines whether there is an existing ICE
connection between the two parties.  If there is, it can re-use the existing
connection and move directly to the setup of the subprotocol.  If no ICE
connection exists, the originating party will open a transport connection to
the answering party and will start ICE connection setup.</para>

<para>The ICE connection setup dialog consists of three major parts: byte order
exchange, authentication, and connection information exchange.  The first
message in each direction is a
<function>ByteOrder</function>
message telling which byte order will be used by the sending party in
messages that it sends.  After that, the originating party sends a
<function>ConnectionSetup</function>
message giving information about itself (vendor name and release number) and
giving a list of ICE version numbers it is capable of supporting and a list
of authentication schemes it is willing to accept.  Authentication is
optional.  If no authentication is required, the answering party responds
with a
<function>ConnectionReply</function>
message giving information about itself, and the connection setup is complete.</para>

<para>If the connection setup is to be authenticated, the answering party will
respond with an
<function>AuthenticationRequired</function>
message instead of a
<function>ConnectionReply</function>
message.  The parties then exchange
<function>AuthenticationReply</function>
and
<function>AuthenticationNextPhase</function>
messages until authentication is complete, at which time the answering party
finally sends its
<function>ConnectionReply</function>
message.</para>

<para>Once an ICE connection is established (or an existing connection reused),
the originating party starts subprotocol negotiation by sending a
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
message.  This message gives the name of the subprotocol that the parties
have agreed to use, along with the ICE major opcode that the originating
party has assigned to that subprotocol.  Authentication can also occur for
the subprotocol, independently of authentication for the connection.
Subprotocol authentication is optional.  If there is no subprotocol
authentication, the answering party responds with a
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
message, giving the ICE major opcode that it has assigned
for the subprotocol.</para>

<para>Subprotocols are authenticated independently of each other, because they may
have differing security requirements.  If there is authentication for this
particular subprotocol, it takes place before the answering party emits the
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
message, and it uses the
<function>AuthenticationRequired</function>
<function>AuthenticationReply</function>
and
<function>AuthenticationNextPhase</function>
messages, just as for the connection authentication.  Only when subprotocol
authentication is complete does the answering party send its
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
message.</para>

<para>When a subprotocol has been set up and authenticated, the two parties can
communicate using messages defined by the subprotocol.  Each message has two
opcodes: a major opcode and a minor opcode.  Each party will send messages
using the major opcode it has assigned in its
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
or
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
message.  These opcodes will, in general, not be the same.  For a particular
subprotocol, each party will need to keep track of two major opcodes: the
major opcode it uses when it sends messages, and the major opcode it expects
to see in messages it receives.  The minor opcode values and semantics are
defined by each individual subprotocol.</para>

<para>Each subprotocol will have one or more messages whose semantics are that the
subprotocol is to be shut down.  Whether this is done unilaterally or is
performed through negotiation is defined by each subprotocol.  Once a
subprotocol is shut down, its major opcodes are removed from
use; no further messages on this subprotocol should be sent until the
opcode is reestablished with
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
</para>

<para>ICE has a facility to negotiate the closing of the connection when there are
no longer any active subprotocols.  When either party decides that no
subprotocols are active, it can send a
<function>WantToClose</function>
message.  If the other party agrees to close the connection, it can simply
do so.  If the other party wants to keep the connection open, it can
indicate its desire by replying with a
<function>NoClose</function>
message.</para>

<para>It should be noted that the party that initiates the connection isn't
necessarily the same as the one that initiates setting up a subprotocol.
For example, suppose party A connects to party B.  Party A will issue the
<function>ConnectionSetup</function>
message and party B will respond with a
<function>ConnectionReply</function>
message.  (The authentication steps are omitted here for brevity.)
Typically, party A will also issue the
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
message and expect a
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
from party B.  Once the connection is established, however, either party may
initiate the negotiation of a subprotocol.  Continuing this example, party B
may decide that it needs to set up a subprotocol for communication with
party A.  Party B would issue the
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
message and expect a
<function>ProtocolReply</function>
from party A.</para>

</chapter>

<chapter id='Data_Types'>
<title>Data Types</title>

<para>ICE messages contain several types of data.  Byte order is negotiated in
the initial connection messages; in general data is sent in the sender's
byte order and the receiver is required to swap it appropriately.
In order to support 64-bit machines, ICE messages
are padded to multiples of 8 bytes.  All messages are designed so that
fields are \*Qnaturally\*U aligned on 16-, 32-, and 64-bit boundaries.
The following formula gives the number of bytes necessary
to pad <emphasis remap='I'>E</emphasis> bytes to the next multiple of
<emphasis remap='I'>b</emphasis>:</para>
<literallayout remap='DS'>

pad(<emphasis remap='I'>E</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>b</emphasis>) = (<emphasis remap='I'>b</emphasis> - (<emphasis remap='I'>E</emphasis> mod <emphasis remap='I'>b</emphasis>)) mod <emphasis remap='I'>b</emphasis>

<para>
This message is sent to report an error in response to a message
from any protocol.  The <function>Error</function> message
exists in all protocol major-opcode spaces; it
is minor-opcode zero in every protocol.  The minor opcode of the
message that caused the error is reported, as well as the sequence
number of that message.
The severity indicates the sender's behavior following
the identification of the error.  <function>CanContinue</function>
indicates the sender is willing to accept additional messages for this
protocol.  <function>FatalToProcotol</function>
indicates the sender is unwilling to accept further messages for this
protocol but that messages for other protocols may be accepted.
<function>FatalToConnection</function>
indicates the sender is unwilling to accept any further
messages for any protocols on the connection.  The sender
is required to conform to specified severity conditions
for generic and ICE (major opcode 0) errors; see
<xref linkend='Generic_Error_Classes' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
<xref linkend='ICE_Error_Classes' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
.
The class defines the generic class of
error.  Classes are specified separately for each protocol (numeric
values can mean different things in different protocols).  The error
values, if any, and their types vary with the specific error class
for the protocol.

establish any authentication specific to it.

Protocol-name gives the name of the protocol the party wishes
to speak.

If must-authenticate is <function>True</function>,
the initiating party demands authentication; the accepting party
<emphasis remap='I'>must</emphasis> pick an authentication scheme
and use it.  In this case, the only valid response is
<function>AuthenticationRequired</function>
</para>

<para>
If must-authenticate is <function>False</function>,
the accepting party may choose an authentication mechanism, use a
host-address-based authentication scheme, or skip authentication.
When must-authenticate is <function>False</function>,
<function>ProtocolReply</function> and
<function>AuthenticationRequired</function>
are both valid responses.  If a host-address-based authentication
scheme is used, <function>AuthenticationRejected</function> and
<function>AuthenticationFailed</function> errors are possible.
</para>

<para>
Authentication-protocol-names  specifies a (possibly null, if
must-authenticate is <function>False</function>
list of authentication protocols the party is willing to perform.  If
must-authenticate is <function>True</function>
presumably the party will offer only authentication mechanisms
allowing mutual authentication.

</para>

<para><function>NoClose</function></para>

<para>
This message is sent in response to a <function>WantToClose</function>

<para>
In the encodings below, the first column is the number of bytes occupied.
The second column is either the type (if the value is variable) or the
actual value.  The third column is the description of the value (e.g.,
the parameter name).  Receivers must ignore bytes that are designated
as unused or pad bytes.
</para>

<para>
This document describes major version 1, minor version 0
of the ICE protocol.
</para>

<para>
LISTof&lt;type&gt; indicates some number of repetitions of
&lt;type&gt;, with no
additional padding.  The number of repetitions must be specified elsewhere
in the message.

<para>
The ICE X rendezvous protocol is designed to answer the need posed
in Section 2 for one mechanism by which two clients interested in
communicating via ICE are able to exchange the necessary information.
This protocol is appropriate for any two ICE clients who also have X
connections to the same X server.

<title>Overview of ICE X Rendezvous</title>

<para>
The ICE X Rendezvous Mechanism requires clients willing to act as ICE
originating parties to pre-register the ICE subprotocols they support in an
ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level window.  Clients willing to
act as ICE answering parties then send an ICE_PROTOCOLS X
<function>ClientMessage</function>
event to the ICE originating parties.  This
<function>ClientMessage</function>
event identifies
the ICE network IDs of the ICE answering party as well as the ICE
subprotocol it wishes to speak.  Upon receipt of this message the ICE
originating party uses the information to establish an ICE connection
with the ICE answering party.
</para>
</sect1>

<sect1 id='Registering_Known_Protocols'>
<title>Registering Known Protocols</title>

<para>
Clients willing to act as ICE originating parties preregister
the ICE subprotocols they support in a list of atoms held by an
ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level window.  The name of each
atom listed in ICE_PROTOCOLS must be of the form
ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> where
<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> is the name of the ICE
subprotocol the ICE originating party is willing to speak, as would be
specified in an ICE
<function>ProtocolSetup</function>
message.
</para>

<para>
Clients with an ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> atom
in the ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level windows must respond to
<function>ClientMessage</function> events of
type ICE_PROTOCOLS specifying ICE_INITIATE_
<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis>.  If a client does not
want to respond to these client message events, it should
remove the ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis>
atom from its ICE_PROTOCOLS property
or remove the ICE_PROTOCOLS property entirely.
</para>

<title>Initiating the Rendezvous</title>

<para>
To initiate the rendezvous a client acting as an ICE answering
party sends an X
<function>ClientMessage</function>
event of type ICE_PROTOCOLS to an ICE
originating party.  This ICE_PROTOCOLS client message contains the
information the ICE originating party needs to identify the ICE
subprotocol the two parties will use as well as the ICE network
identification string of the ICE answering party.
</para>

<para>
Before the ICE answering party sends the client message event it must
define a text property on one of its windows.  This text property
contains the ICE answering party's ICE network identification string
and will be used by ICE originating parties to determine the ICE
answering party's list of ICE network IDs.
</para>

<para>
The property name will normally be ICE_NETWORK_IDS, but may be any
name of the ICE answering party's choosing.  The format for this text
property is as follows:
</para>

<para>
Once the ICE answering party has established this text property on one
of its windows, it initiates the rendezvous by sending an
ICE_PROTOCOLS
<function>ClientMessage</function>
event to an ICE originating party's
top-level window.  This event has the following format
and must only be sent to windows that have pre-registered the ICE
subprotocol in an ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level window.

<note>
<para>
Clients willing to act as ICE originating parties must update the
ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level windows to include the
ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> atom(s) identifying
the ICE subprotocols they
speak.  The method a client uses to update the ICE_PROTOCOLS property
to include ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> atoms is
implementation dependent, but
the client must ensure the integrity of the list to prevent the
accidental omission of any atoms previously in the list.
</para>

<para>
When setting up the ICE network IDs text property on one of its
windows, the ICE answering party can determine its comma-separated
list of ICE network IDs by calling IceComposeNetworkIdList() after
making a call to IceListenForConnections().  The method an ICE
answering party uses to find the top-level windows of clients willing
to act as ICE originating parties is dependent upon the nature of the
answering party.  Some may wish to use the approach of requiring the
user to click on a client's window.  Others wishing to find existing
clients without requiring user interaction might use something similar
to the XQueryTree() method used by several freely-available
applications.  In order for the ICE answering party to become
automatically aware of new clients willing to originate ICE
connections, the ICE answering party might register for
SubstructureNotify events on the root window of the display.  When it
receives a SubstructureNotify event, the ICE answering party can check
to see if it was the result of the creation of a new client top-level
window with an ICE_PROTOCOLS property.
</para>

<para>
In any case, before attempting to use this ICE X Rendezvous Mechanism
ICE answering parties wishing to speak ICE subprotocol
<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> should
check for the ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> atom
in the ICE_PROTOCOLS property on
a client's top-level window.  A client that does not include an
ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis> atom in a
ICE_PROTOCOLS property on some top-level window should be assumed to ignore
<function>ClientMessage</function>
events of type
ICE_PROTOCOLS specifying ICE_INITIATE_<emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis>
for ICE subprotocol <emphasis remap='I'>pname</emphasis>.
</para>
</note>

<sect1 id='ICE_Subprotocol_Versioning'>
<title>ICE Subprotocol Versioning</title>

<para>
Although the version of the ICE subprotocol could be passed in the
client message event, ICE provides more a flexible version negotiation
mechanism than will fit within a single
<function>ClientMessage</function>
event.  Because
of this, ICE subprotocol versioning is handled within the ICE protocol
setup phase.</para>
<note remap='NT'>
<para>Clients wish to communicate with each other via an ICE subprotocol
known as "RAP V1.0".  In RAP terminology one party, the "agent",
communicates with other RAP-enabled applications on demand.  The
user may direct the agent to establish communication with a specific
application by clicking on the application's window, or the agent may
watch for new application windows to be created and automatically
establish communication.
</para>

<para>
During startup the ICE answering party (the agent) first calls
IceRegisterForProtocolReply() with a list of
the versions (i.e., 1.0) of RAP the agent can speak.  The answering
party then calls IceListenForConnections() followed by
IceComposeNetworkIdList() and stores the resulting ICE network IDs
string in a text property on one of its windows.
</para>

<para>
When the answering party (agent) finds a client with which it wishes to
speak, it checks to see if the ICE_INITIATE_RAP atom is in the ICE_PROTOCOLS
property on the client's top-level window.  If it is present the agent
sends the client's top-level window an ICE_PROTOCOLS client
message event as described above.  When the client receives the client
message event and is willing to originate an ICE connection using RAP,
it performs an IceRegisterForProtocolSetup() with a list of the
versions of RAP the client can speak.  The client then retrieves
the agent's ICE network ID from the property and window specified by
the agent in the client message event and calls IceOpenConnection().
After this call succeeds the client calls IceProtocolSetup() specifying
the RAP protocol.  During this
process, ICE calls the RAP protocol routines that handle the version
negotiation.
</para>

<para>
Note that it is not necessary for purposes of this rendezvous that
the client application call any ICElib functions prior to receipt
of the client message event.
