[jdev] Bouillon 2 project

[Victor Grishchenko]

Consider a situation. Bouillon components of user A scans user A's  
roster and
finds "fred at jabber.org". Current behavior is to ping fred at oc- 
co.jabber.org to
establish Bouillon conversation. So, this must be a component in the  
current
state of things.

Theoretically, a user may somehow run Bouillon engine at his PC using  
client
connection to a Jabber server; this is easy to implement. But this  
may cause
problems at unprepared Jabber server because Bouillon sends bursts of
<iq>s often. Popular public server like jabber.org may simply die  
under such
load (if many users will use client-side Bouillon).

It is also important that Bouillon shifts all the connection  
handling/ traffic/
connectivity problems to a Jabber server. It is not mission of  
Bouillon to do
all that.
How will you implement that all traffic for "oc-co.jabber.org" have  
to be
directed to "anywhere.org" ?

So, the correct way is to have account at a server which has Bouillon  
component.

Indirectly, your account will be "reused", cause your messages will  
propagate
to different servers without you logging in there. But directly this  
is resource
allocation/administrative policy/anything else kind of a problem, so  
you have
to login at your server :)

The answer is "yes, but".
