Could you please clarify this for me? By my understanding, this ping/pong technique only generates extra traffic between the client and their direct server (virtually a single hop). Since jabber is intended to be a highly distributed network where many users administer their own servers, ~14Mb of extra traffic spread across the 100s of 1000s of servers that would be serving those 5 million online users doesn't seem as relevant.
