Jingle Nodes on Talkr.IM

Posted by Nicolas Vérité on February 18, 2010

A Jingle Nodes relay has been installed on the Talkr.IM XMPP service.

The public XMPP server Talkr.IM has received its own Jingle Nodes relay on: xmpp:jn.talkr.im. You can browse the Talkr.IM services via your Service Discovery interface in your XMPP client.

This new exclusive feature on Talkr.IM XMPP server enables Jingle calls by providing a public service for media relaying. Basically, this means that XMPP clients which can handle Jingle Nodes, will be able to join other Jingle Nodes enabled clients to establish voice calls even when both are hidden behind network barriers (like NAT, for the techies).

One many entities of the XMPP federated network (clients, servers) will have Jingle Nodes enabled, this will be possible to establish calls, in a totally P2P manner, much like Skype, but with much more features like the control of who can use your relay. Read the Jingle Nodes website and the Jingle Nodes XEP to know more.

This Talkr.IM Jingle Nodes relay is one of the very first step to a simpler Jingle user experience worldwide.

Visit the Talkr.IM website, and create your own Talkr.IM XMPP account freely: https://www.talkr.im/signup.

jn.talkr.im has an A but no SRV record. Will it be usable via S2S federation just like File-transfer proxies?

@Astro: To my understanding Jingle Nodes does not require DNS entry as negociation happen in XMPP.

It would happen through XMPP s2s connection if you want to use it from another domain. For now it is not limited to local users but that might change in the future.

That’s the beauty of Jingle Nodes: The relay can have a policy based on the “from” jid (to restrict to domain, to friends, etc).

Ok, this may not yet be used by clients, but I just want to express my gratitude for this awesome servers.

Right in time for the (limited) death of jabber.org, with talkr.im I can still chat :)

Thanks a lot!
