[JDEV] MQSeries and Jabber

[Al Sutton]

One of the big differences I can see is that MQ is a publish/subscribe
architecture (i.e. one person publishes a message, others subscribe to the
channel and all subscribers receive that message), where as Jabber is
designed with point-to-point communication being the main concern.

Al.

P.S. I'm aware of the efforts going into conferencing, but the basis of
Jabber seems to have been point-to-point.
