Prosody (formerly lxmppd[https://code.google.com/p/lxmppd/ lxmppd - Prosody XMPP Server - Google Project Hosting]. Code.google.com. Retrieved on 2013-07-17.) is a cross-platform XMPP server written in Lua. Its development goals include low resource usage, ease of use, and extensibility. Prosody uses the default XMPP ports, 5222 and 5269, for client-to-server and server-to-server communications respectively.
