This document explains the federation profile used by Live Communications Server 2005 SP1.

• Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server supports a standards-based federation interface for instant messaging (IM) and presence functionality between Live Communications Server deployments, as well as between Live Communications Server and third-party public IM deployments such as AOL®, MSN®, and Yahoo!®.
  
  
  
  The federation model that is implemented in Live Communications Server is based on the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft document “Best Current Practices for Interdomain Instant Messaging using SIP/SIMPLE." There are several topics in this draft where multiple mechanisms are described to enable certain features. This document provides specific details on those areas, as well as Live Communications Server-specific implementation details that are relevant to the federated interface.
  
  
  
  This document provides third parties with all the information required to implement a federated interface with a Live Communications Server 2005 SP1 deployment in order to enable federated presence and IM scenarios.
