Hi,

I know that FreeSWITCH uses libdingaling to talk to Jingle call parties. Also I know that Jingle Protocol uses ICE protocol to traverse NAT devices. So :
does libdingaling use an open library such as libnice for ICE?
Is it possible to use the ICE implementation in Sofia-SIP endpoint?
If not, how could I integrate an open ICE library in Sofia-SIP?

Regards,

No mod_dingaling does not use LibNICE. However, i have plans to integrate NICE with Sofia in mod_msn project, which is at the moment moving with very slow pace due to some trouble in reverse engineering MSNP-18 protocol (used in Windows Live Messenger 2009).

Thank you.

Don't you think is better to integrate LibNICE to FreeSWITCH's RTP stack than a module such as mod_msn / mod_dingaling ?

Yup, that's a good idea but not in my project list right now.

Thank you.

I'm not comfortable adding libnice into FreeSWITCH as it depends on glib and that would add bloat in my opinion... is there no other license compatible option?

We already have ice support in freeswitch, granted it is the slightly twisted ice from the old jingle, but this should not be difficult to fix. Knowing what I know about libnice architechture I can say almost without doubt that it will never fit well into freeeswitch. Is the basis of this question and you loooking for an ice library on the sofia list just to support ice in sip? If so, for both sip and msn the path of least resistance and probably the only way that would work would be to address this within our existing ice implementation.

Personally i am not a fan of GLib as well and always prefer STL over it due to so many good reasons. But on the other hand libnice is the only library that has Microsoft extensions to ICE protocol, which are required for mod_msn to work.

So far on mod_msn, i am able to send and receive voice call requests to / from WLM 2009, but upon answer two way voice is not working. I am able to hear voice from WML 2009 but WML 2009 client can't hear anything. So nowadays i am reviewing libNICE to fix this problem. If this does not work (and so far it does not seems to work) then i would like to use FS ICE library, provided that you guys allow me to extend it to support Microsoft extensions..!

Thank you.

libdingaling does not do the gtalk ice stuff, mod_dingaling does by using utils in the FS core.
We have stun client code, random string generators in switch_utils.c and settings in the rtp stack to send and recv authed stun packets using the aforementioned functions mixed in with the audio.  Whatever you have to change will have to be added to FS core and it cannot be with any lib that depends on glib or it would make our core depend on glib which is not going to happen because it would make support on windows a nightmare.
