Introduction
============

This module implements [XEP-0288: Bidirectional Server-to-Server
Connections](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0288.html). It allows
servers to use a single connection for sending stanzas to each other,
instead of two connections (one for stanzas in each direction).

Install and enable it like any other module. It has no configuration.
