Actually the client and broker are now using the same underlying network IO layer. So implementing a poller should give you both client and broker for that platform. > > We where using a wrapper lib and run into to many issues, so we have > moved to > create our own platform support for IO.

Specifically what needs implementing for each platform is an xxxPoller.cpp which implements the interface in cpp/src/qpid/sys/Poller.h. The current Linux implementation using epoll is in cpp/src/qpid/sys/epoll/EpollPoller.cpp and should serve as a guide. There is still some vestigial network IO code which uses the APR library - this is deprecated in qpid and is no longer used although hasn't actually been removed from the code base (it will be soon). Please don't use it. If you do want to get involved with qpid this would be a great and productive way to start, the more platforms we support the better. We'd be delighted to have you on board and to give you a helping hand. Andrew
