Really unfortunate that they dont have an open source license for that inspite of many repeated requests. My personal findings with java nio are that there is significant room for improvement. The current nio implementation is a cpu hog, even when it gets to a huge number (over 10K) of idle connections. I dont think they have implemented epoll support as yet in the jdk - something that blackdown had done with theirs. Also the aio4j library doesn't support SSL/TLS :( An open source aio implementation is something that is begging to be done, and is on my long term agenda. > Minimising Copying: > > One of the operations our servers do is take in data and retransmit it > unmodified to a number of subscribers as quickly as possible.

Would increase performance by many a magnitude. Would be eagerly waiting for your proposed changes. <snip/> > We are going to be doing performance testing with larger numbers of > connections (e.g. 500) later this month and I will report on my findings. I'm looking at testing for much higher numbers (100K+), but unfortunately its always been put on the back burner. Someday! Regards, Vinod.
