Chapter 1. User's Guide

1.1. Overview

   This module implements a presence server, i.e. entity that
   receives SUBSCRIBE messages and sends NOTIFY when presence
   status of a user changes. Currently the presence server can be
   connected to registrar and jabber module so SIP users can see
   presence of jabber users.

   This module currently cannot work as a B2BUA, i.e. it cannot
   subsribe to presence of users using SIP. We are currently
   working on that feature.
