| | Jabber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The basis of the Jabber protocol, now managed by the Jabber Software Foundation, has been accepted by the IETF in October 2004 as a standards-track protocol under the name XMPP, with RFC 3920. |
 | | It has often been regarded as being in competition with SIMPLE, based on the SIP protocol, as the standard protocol for instant messaging and presence notification; however, the design of XMPP is intended to provide a more general-purpose XML-based inter-application middleware facility. |
 | | Any Jabber user can "register" with one of these gateways by providing the information needed to log on to that network, and can then communicate with users of that network as though they were Jabber users. |
