I am still having a problem. You were referring to XMPP not avahi.

<blockquote>I'm sorry. I don't understand you. Currently collaboration in locations with a school server is done by ejabberd. This resulted from the fact that the original mesh and later ad hoc networks did not support the requirements of actual deployments. This means the software supports XMMP to connect with jabber servers.

Avahi is *not* the mesh or adhoc network.
Avahi broadcasts things over a local wifi network - one with routers and stuff. It doesn't do mesh or adhoc.
