magic cookie (see Erlang/OTP documentation, in short file

This module is the main router of Jabber packets on each node. It route

them based on their destanations domains. It have two tables: local and global
|
|
routes. First, domain of packet destination searched in local table, and if it
|
|
finded, then packet routed to appropriate process. If no, then it searched in
|
|
global table, and routed to appropriate <TT>ejabberd</TT> node or process. If it not
|
|
exists in both tables, then it sended to S2S manager.<BR>

Many modules define handlers for processing IQ queries of different namespaces
|
|
to this server or to user (e. g. to <TT>myjabber.org</TT> or to
|
|
<TT>user@myjabber.org</TT>). This option defines processing discipline of this
|
|
queries. Possible values are:
|
|
<DL COMPACT=compact>
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<TT>no_queue</TT><DD> All queries of namespace with this processing
|
|
discipline processed immediately. This also means that no other packets can
|
|
be processed until finished this. Hence this discipline is not recommended
|
|
if processing of query can take relative many time.
|
|
|
|
<DT><TT>one_queue</TT><DD> In this case created separate queue for processing
|
|
IQ queries of namespace with this discipline, and processing of this queue
|
|
done in parallel with processing of other packets. This discipline is most
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
<DT><TT>parallel</TT><DD> In this case for all packets of namespace with this
|
|
discipline spawned separate Erlang process, so all this packets processed in
|
|
parallel. Although spawning of Erlang process have relative low cost, this
|
|
can broke server normal work, because Erlang have limit of 32000 processes.
