This means that if one of the nodes crashes, the others will continue working without disruption. In addition, nodes also can be added or replaced ‘on the fly’.</LI><LI CLASS="li-itemize"><B><FONT SIZE=4><FONT COLOR="#001376">Administrator Friendly:</FONT></FONT></B> <TT>ejabberd</TT> is built on top of the Open Source Erlang.
