Socket Scaling Gets a Boost The following was posted by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via the Jabber DevZone web site (http://dev.jabber.org/): Jabber.com is happy to resolve some issues regarding the release last year of a version of the jpolld socket manager for Jabber. This software, which increases the scalability of Jabber in certain contexts, is definitely licensed for use under JOSL, the Jabber Open Source License. This kind of core software is critical to the pervasive adoption of Jabber as an open source standard for extensible Instant Messaging solutions. Jabber.com is pleased to continue its commitment to the open source community by making such critical contributions. Stay tuned for additional contribution announcements coming soon. Jabber.Org has just finished a working prototype of the DevPoll Session Manage (dpsm). One of the newest and most advanced methods of socket polling via /dev/poll is now available to Jabber, and will provide similar multiplexing functionality as jpolld. Dpsm will soon begin a round of testing so solid numbers of server performance can be published, as well as continue to advance the platform by identifying problem areas in the server code. Both of these programs can be found in the jabber.org cvs (read the available cvs docs if you need help with cvs) under the jpolld and dpsm modules. It should be noted that jpolld is deprecated code, and development will continue on only dpsm (there are plans to have a regular poll backend with the /dev/poll backend). http://jabber.org/?oid=984 _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
