Is there a way to multiplex multiple client streams each belonging to a different user on the same TCP connection? The closest I could find was the BOSH XEP that talks about multiplexing using some sort of a session id. Is there a way to do this on a TCP connection? If not, is BOSH a recommended
way of doing this?

No, but there is a fantastic way of multiplexing multiple connections over a single IP layer, it's called "TCP".

If this sounds a bit facetious, then it is - TCP is a multiplexing method for a connection, and it's fine to use it - from the serv's point of view, it's likely that there's *very* little resource difference from servicing multiple TCP sessions compared to servicing multiple client sessions in the same TCP stream - plus the server can no longer take advantage of load balancing techniques so easily, or even simple SRV.
