What would you quote as a real world use of the resource name that appears in the JID..?
Lets say, as an example, >From one machine, I login as : [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Resource1. Simultaneously I login in another machine as [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Resource2. The 2 JIDs differ only by the Resource names.. What is special about the resource names that we cannot accomplish just by having a unique bare jid for both users (instead of the users/clients differing only by resource name) It would be great if someone can give a 'real' example where the resource names are useful compared to unique bare jids.... -------------------------------------------------- To quote RFC 3920: "A resource identifier may modify either a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or a mere <domain> address. It usually represents a specific session" "Multiple resources (e.g., devices or locations) MAY connect simultaneously to a server on behalf of each authorized client" "After SASL negotiationUse of SASL with the receiving entity, the initiating entity MAY want or need to bind a specific resource to that stream" Thanks!
