Googles Cloud Connection Server : A Brief Intro

Connection Server based on XMPP(Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) Allows third party app servers to communicate with Android devices Uses a persistent TCP connection for communication Communication is asynchronous and bi-directional This XMPP mechanism for sending messages can be used alongside traditional HTTP

More Info on XMPP

Founded and used by Jabber for instant messaging Is an XML based communication protocol XMPP is open source, which means any developer can customize its extensions to suit software requirements. IM Services such as Google Talk and the chat feature in Facebook use XMPP in the back-end though not a native implementation Initially, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which is native to XMPP was used for communications. Later, XMPP was developed to perform data transfers via HTTP for web clients and via web-sockets for real-time messaging. The native design of the XMPP server component has an in-built entity called transports or gateways that aids the communication of messages between XMPP and non-XMPP systems.

How XMPP uses HTTP for communication

XMPP uses HTTP in two ways : 1. Polling
Where data transfer is done through HTTP POST and GET methodologies Is now deprecated

2. Binding
used for data PUSH methodologies Implemented over Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH) This push model of notification is more efficient than polling, where many of the polls return no new data

How CCS has improved on GCM

CCS uses the XMPP protocol over a long-lasting TCP connection for communications Now, CCS performs both device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device communications (through

XMPP) over the same connection (TCP) and thereby helps developers achieve a better
device power management in their apps than GCM CCS requires a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection and Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL)-based authentication. CCS incorporates JSON-based payload messages into the XMPP-supported XML structure and uses it for communications. CCS could send up to 1000 such messages asynchronously before it receives any acknowledgement from the device.
