What is Port 5269?
Port 5269 is the standard port for server-to-server XMPP federation, allowing different XMPP server instances to exchange messages and presence information. When a user on one XMPP server messages a user on another server, the servers communicate via port 5269. This enables the federated, decentralized nature of the XMPP messaging network.
