Instant Messaging XMPP Redirect Server

The XMPP redirect server balances the load between servers in a server pool, increasing performance by decreasing the amount of communication required between servers in a single deployment. The XMPP redirect server increases the probability that two users who will likely share presence information and messages end up on the same node. You use a redirect service to optimize resource utilization. The redirect service directs client connections to specific hosts in the server pool.
