Thanks for that. Those articles cover the topic well. I had figured out that was an issue for Silverlight 3 / WCF when in a hobby project I implemented a turn based game server (eg live chess) using duplex wcf. I had pondered whether my implementation would scale out, and had concluded it would

Peter, We used sockets in Silverlight2 to prototype a spatial collaboration concept. The main issues we faced were: 1. Needed to run a windows application (testing=console app, production=windows service) for both server side processing and also as a policy service. Made it hard to deploy.
