No work has been done on it since 2001, however. Currently, SIP, its derivative SIMPLE, and XMPP are being considered for use as instant messaging protocols.  (IM).

--Numerous enhancements to existing features including Back-To-Back User Agent The Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) acts as a user agent to both ends of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call.
