So, I just wondered what the pros thought and whether this is something
which I should bother to package up and submit somewhere for more general
use? If so, I'll bung it on a public jabberd for people to stress-test it
for a while.
Do you have any idea on how stable is the "network-code" part of GAIM is?
I assume you load the gaim lib once, and not every time again for each connection. Gaim seems relativly stable when I use it from a client user point of view, but still crashes sometimes. Ofcourse if you have 1000 concurrend users that means those crashes become a 1000 times more frequent. But those very well could be mostly in the UI code (and this is mostly on Windows, so it could even be GTK rather than GAIM).
Still, I'd recommend to admins using seperate instances of your transport for seperate protocols, since I do recall GAIM crashing after protocol changes by the networks from time to time. Even though the fixes are ussually out within hours, I don't see why your MSN transport should be down cause Yahoo changed protocols.
It's great to see this, I think escp. AIM/ICQ and Yahoo transports would benifit from this (since they most frequently change protocols without announcing or transition phase). Funnily enough we've also ended up with a Jabber <-> Jabber transport :)
