Why? How many simultaneous connections do you expect? Do you really know that the existing client-server model won't work? It seems to work just fine for lots of large deployments! > I have been doing some research but p2p part is still not clear to me > how to do this.

No, Jingle is not trying to address this. Jingle does signalling over the XMPP channel and media over RTP or whatever. > Even if I have to write a new client using google's jingle library, can > existing jabber servers support jingle?

No, because that's not the Jabber model. > Any pointers on how to do this would be very helpful. http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0174.html is used for p2p chat on LANs and such, but not for large-scale systems.
