posted June 13, 2006 5:52 PM Working on a server application for a game that a few of us are writing, and wondering if PowerTCP is the right option. (Also looking at IndySockets, but may be overkill) The server needs to handle data in a.. "semi-real time environment".. think a MUD server. It's not telnet based, but acts similar to how a MUD server works. There isn't constant streaming of locationd data and the like. (Not going to be a shooter) So, going to fire off a few questions. 1) In theory, can PowerTCP handle this? I know it handles multithreaded apps, which is something it has to do, but does it have the performance to handle it? 2) Again, in theory, how many connections could it handle? (Granted, this is all based on the computer, available memory, bandwidth etc etc.. just hypothetical) 3) I'm comfortable in both Delphi and VB.NET. Which one would perform better? Going to be implementing our own custom protocol, so I already assume I'll want to be using the Winsock tool. Thanks for any feedback. |

posted June 15, 2006 11:21 AM Hello, Regarding the query, please note that you may use the Server Component of Power TCP. Whenever a new connection is made in this Server Component, a Tcp object will be created and exposed; representing the connection. Use this Tcp connection to communicate with the individual connected clients. (1) Server component is fully multi threaded, allowing for every incoming connection to receive a separate thread. I would suggest you to go through the following samples which gives us an idea how exactly our controls handle multi threaded connections: C:\Program Files\PowerTCP\Sockets for .NET\Samples\VB\FlashServer C:\Program Files\PowerTCP\Sockets for .NET\Samples\VB\WebServer (2) It supports unlimited connections. It depends on concurrent active connections, and the amount of data sent and back and forth over each connection. (3) You can use our controls on any of these development environments. I won't be able to comment which one would perform better. This is something which totally depends upon your requirements. I hope this will be of help. Have a nice day ahead. Best Regards, Amit |
