Sun ONE Instant Messaging essentially consists of 3 key components: the IM Server, the IM Multiplexor(s), and the IM client. IM does require a directory server and a web server but these are not part of the IM product. There is no need to distinguish between the IM Server and the Multiplexor since the Multiplexor may be considered part of the server. The multiplexor was done for a particular reason: to bypass the current Java VM's inability to handle more than 3000 concurrent connections.
