OpenSRF uses Jabber (XMPP  http://www.xmpp.org/) as it's backbone message passing protocol.  XMPP is a standard, open protocol that uses a small set of XML tags to define the message structure.  

There are numerous Jabber server implementations, many of which are open source and run on a variety of platforms.  Initial development of OpenSRF relied solely on jabberd 2 (http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/).  Jabberd 2 has proven to be a fast and reliable server with which all OpenSRF configurations should run seemlessly. See [[jabberd]] for installation and configuration.

Recently we have added an in-house, streamlined Jabber implementation called Chop Chop, Jabber.  Chop Chop is young, though it's proven fast and stable thus far.  It currently only works, however, in single-domain OpenSRF configurations.  Multi-domain support is planned for future versions of the server.  see [[Chop Chop, Jabber]] for tips on building and running Chop Chop.
