Metre (check that spelling) is an XMPP Server, of sorts. Unlike traditional XMPP servers which host services internally, Metre is specifically designed to connect between servers, mediating connections and traffic.
It's written in C++11 (ie, modern C++), and aims to provide a semantically-aware filter between domains, to avoid exposing your internal XMPP fully to the world.
You'll probably want to read the FAQ, and you may wish to find some BUILD instructions. There is also a documentation file on FILTERS
