Let’s get started and see how to install one of the available versions on our server. Unlike most instant messaging protocols, XMPP is defined in an open standard and uses an open systems approach of development and application, by which anyone may implement an XMPP service and inter-operate with other organizations’ implementations.Īlthough many server and client implementations are distributed as free and open-source software, numerous freeware and commercial software implementations of the XMPP protocol also exist. Jabber was the original name for the XMPP protocol: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol that is based on XML. Jabber addresses its users with an addressing scheme almost identical to the basic SMTP scheme. Jabber’s similarities to email architecture doesn’t stop there. This approach is diametrically opposed to the monolithic system architecture provided by other service providers as AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo, where a single central server or group of centralized servers provide the messaging service. Systems administrators may notice that Jabber is similar to an email server, with users connecting to these systems locally. The Jabber standards and architecture help create a distributed IM system. Jabber was started in 1998 by Jeremie Miller.
