Hello, I'm a regular on the flexcoders list, where it was suggested that I ask my question over here. Any advice will be welcome!
I have 100 fixed, identifiable clients running a Flex 1.5 app on an intranet. A Dot.Net integration tier maintains individual states for each client. The integration tier talks asynchronously to third party apps over async tcp sockets and even mail transport. I had planned on a leisurely polling setup to get the clients updated with changes in state, but I now have a requirement for an update with minimum latency. The messaging between clients and server is very low frequency (a few clients updated per minute) and very low message size (a few k per update). I am now looking at a true "push" connection using XMLSockets. I see two approaches: On would be to have a separate port connection for each client with each client only getting their messages, the other would be a single port, where all clients would get all messages, and ignore those that were not theirs. In my case performance, reliability and simplicity are most important, and scalability not so much an issue. Any suggestions, experiences, resources would be appreciated!!
