According to RFC 6120, XMPP clients should use SRV records within
the connection establishment process to servers. There are two
purposes for using SRV records. The one is to advertise the FQDN of
at least one server to clients to establish an initial TCP
connection. The other purpose is to advertise at least two or more
FQDN with priority and weight information to clients to accomplish
load balancing, a redundant server environment and so on. However,
most standard resolver libraries of recent client OSs don't support
SRV record resolution. Furthermore, many DNS hosting services also
don't support SRV records. This document proposes a solution that
enables a server and client to achieve load balancing and a
redundant server environment in case SRV records cannot be used.
Moreover, the proposed IQ-result message can include minimum wait
time to reconnect, allowing clients to reconnect after the most
suitable wait time avoiding congestion.
