Thanks. I'm project managing the design and development of a commercial application, that will use Jabber as a base. I'm trying to work up a an rough estimate of the development costs for the financial guys.

I've read through the first half of "Programming Jabber" and suspect that other implementations of the Jabber server must be somewhat similar in architecture? For example, allowing components to connect to the backbone using library load, TCP, and STDIO connections.

I think most of the application can be handled by the standard Jabber components, with most of the specialized functionality in the client. However, I will need to plug in several custom server components.

I'm basically working at the block-diagram level at this point... just trying to scope out the project.

As far as requirements for the server are concerned, what I'm mainly concerned about is stability and scalability, as this application must potentially support lots of simultaneous users. The actual number will depend on the market, so we need to be able to start small and grow arbitrarily large. I'm a bit worried about that requirement, to be honest.

Anyway, any thoughts much appreciated.

This book describes the architecture of jabberd14

Also note there are a dozen other jabber servers now.  The landscape
is much different than it used to be.  Are you trying to learn in
general, or do you have some specific aims?  We might be able to help
direct your focus.
