Definitions from Jabber.org:

Services (aka Agents)

Services are a critical piece of Jabber. Transports, a subset of services, are the processes that "translate" from Jabber to other systems, such as ICQ, AIM, Yahoo! Pager, and so forth. If you would like to add transparent connectivity for any Jabber user to another real-time messaging service, use a transport. This includes adding any additional protocol functionality such as RVP, IMPP, or otherwise. Services also cover additions to the server to provide real-time "information source" such as stock quotes, weather alerts, etc.

Another significant possibility with services is if you have a real-time service already with clients, and want to provide the features of Jabber to those clients. By connecting your server to the Jabber network as a service, all of your clients immediately can communicate with the rest of Jabber as well as utilize any of the other services. This is an excellent approach if you want to write a 100% secure closed real-time messaging network and still provide connectivity with other services.
