youmin: there are a couple of features you might be looking for,
and we don't implement either of them yet :-(
12:25 < youmin>
@scmv tell me
12:25 < smcv>
either: we do the Jingle/NAT traversal/pseudo-TCP and present you
with something that looks to you like TCP
12:25 < smcv>
or: we present you with something that looks like UDP, and you do
an existing packet-based protocol over ti
12:25 < smcv>
I don't know which of them you want, but neither exists yet
The first of those features is an enhancement to the StreamTube implementation in Gabble, and requires no spec changes: I've filed this bug to represent it.
The second is a feature request in telepathy-spec (datagram tubes) for which I've filed a separate bug.
We're not actively working on this at the moment; setting it as low priority.
