5 5 Adrian Georgescu
The goal of this project is to develop a software gateway that makes possible end-to-end interoperability between Microsoft Lync, a proprietary solution based on modified IETF SIP standards and foreign domains using XMPP foundation standards. The solution would then be used for federating real time communication services using multiple media like audio, chat, presence, screen-sharing, video and file transfer between these Lync, SIP and XMPP protocols. This would allow parts of an organisation to migrate away from using a proprietary solution while maintaining interoperability with other parts of the organisation that still make use of it.

h3. End-points
17 1 Adrian Georgescu
18 1 Adrian Georgescu
The gateway will be inserted between two foreign domains, allowing each domain to use its own client to interoperate with the client in the remote domain. A Lync based domain will use a Lync client and an XMPP domain will use a modified XMPP client that is able to support audio calls using Jingle and screen sharing using RDP protocol. It is the responsibility of the customer to develop its client to support these standards.
