I've been chatting with someone off-list about mobile optimizations and

when you have a high volume of activity (active chat sessions with
multiple contacts, Jingle negotiation, etc.) but then go back to BOSH
when the activity level drops below some threshold.

This seems silly to me. BOSH is used when TCP is not possible. If both are possible, you always pick TCP regardless of activity level.

I agree with Justin. And IMHO BOSH makes no sense on a mobile phone when you have the ability to use TCP. It will also consume much more traffic than a TCP connection. BOSH is great for web clients where TCP is not possible. Or for networks where you have access to the Internet only over HTTP proxies and HTTP CONNECT is disabled in the proxy.
