While the bandwidth usage of XMPP isn't great, compressing the data sent to/from your server can give significant benefits to those on slow connections, such as dial-up or mobile networks. Prosody supports compression for client-to-server (if your client supports it) and server-to-server streams using the mod_compression plugin.

Most of Prosody's functionality is implemented through plugins/modules (the two terms are used interchangeably). Sometimes you will want to install additional modules that are not supplied with Prosody. Paths By default Prosody looks in a single directory for a module, and this is set at build time. On a standard Linux system such as Debian, you might expect to find it somewhere like /usr/lib/prosody/modules/.

Prosody is an XMPP server. But what exactly is XMPP? " The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open technology for real-time communication, which powers a wide range of applications including instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. - - xmpp.org"

XMPP allows for servers communicating seamlessly with each other, forming a global 'federated' IM network. This architecture is very similar email, where someone on gmail.com can send an email to someone with an account on hotmail.com, for example. Prosody supports server-to-server (s2s) connections out of the box. All you need for it to work is:

BOSH (previously known as HTTP binding or “http-bind”) is a technology to use XMPP over HTTP, the protocol that powers the web. This allows XMPP applications to run in web pages, but also any other HTTP-only environment such as behind restrictive firewalls.

Starting with version 0.8, Prosody supports authentication provider plugins. These can either use Prosody's built-in storage drivers (e.g. to use a custom format for account data), or they can integrate with external storage and authentication APIs. Selecting a provider A provider can be selected with the “authentication” option. This can be set globally and/or per-host.

Prosody's configuration is held in a single file, prosody.cfg.lua. If you install Prosody under GNU/Linux then you should find it in /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua. On Mac OS X installed via Homebrew you should find it in /usr/local/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua. On other systems, or when not installed, it will be under the same directory as the prosody main executable.
