For example, if G returns {people:4}, the system will aggregate messages until there are four different users involved, before propagating themb.
On the server side RTMP implements command messages, data messages, shared object messages to embed e.g. Flash events, media messages, and aggregate messages to combine various messages gaining efficiency.
For example, a certain application may want to immediately propagate a person's context to her friends but aggregate messages up to 40 seconds when they are being propagated to strangers.
For now, Imo's ace-in-the-hole continues to be its ability to aggregate messages from multiple popular messaging services (from Skype, Facebook Chat, and Google Talk all the way down to Steam) in a single app.
Sending messages to that @facebook.com email address then automatically sync up with Facebook's messaging platform, which also aggregate messages sent to you by SMS (if you have a phone number associated with your account); Facebook's standalone Messenger app; or Facebook itself.

The value is an integer (or a function returning an integer) representing a threshold of aggregated messages.
To aggregate BMs into the aggregated messages and forward them in a distributed manner, the operation of each node should be carefully designed.
This is only possible because of our delayed propagation mechanism that, when paired with compressed aggregated messages, makes a much more efficient use of the network bandwidth.
The types volume and people are similar in the fact that they represent the maximum number of aggregated messages: volume is the number of different messages while people represents the number of different senders involved on those messages.
