Got it. Its more or less during negotiations you want Server, after that direct streaming. Something similar to RTP. AFAIK, in JMS, messaging is controller by JMS Server.

Initial thoughts are to use Proxy Example like implementation for mediation/initiation. The clients (not network client, but application clients) layer be build in way to negotiation the connection details during initiation and shift to the connection for further transmission. A and B connects to Broker After brief chat... negotiate connection details Setup connection once done, signal to initiator to start sending the data on the new channel I am not sure, but jingle has something similar (from the design perspective). See this spec http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html Bernd/Niklas - This is XMPP domain. Can you folks help here? thanks ashish
