I have a question related to this topic as well. What has peoples experience been with open source solutions like AMFPHP for remoting, or Python for persistent socket connections? These have always been my methods of choice, and have done me no harm as of yet, but I am working on a project that

Well, yes, but this approach will only take us so far... even with Moore's law in action. Does anyone have a significant app running on LCDS Express? How many simultaneous users can it support? With what CPU? Douglas On Nov 27, 2007 9:00 AM, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 26

I'd like to repeat Steven's question. I'm really curious about this. How many simultaneous connections can LCDS handle on one CPU? I realize that this will vary a great deal, depending on the application and the CPU, but it would be great to get a ballpark idea. Anatole - you suggested, I would

Is there anyway to judge what level of user connections a given server can handle without requiring specialized loadsharing strategies? In a non-audio or video environment what's it take to stream an AS3 based swfs to 3-5 dozen connections? On 10/16/07, Anatole Tartakovsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That part is not AMF specific - and Apache or Tomcat will have no issues of doing it - that is purely bandwidth issue. As far as AMF/RTMP streaming main issue is robustness. It is very easy to get any of the products to run on the reliable network. We do use OpenAMF and proprietary performance

PS - I did something that Granite didn't think was possible (or at least very easy to do): I got Granite Data Services working with Flex making remote AMF3/rpc calls to a JSF Web Application. There were numerous potential issues involved in this (faces context, phases, lifecycle), but I was

Tom, Thanks for your feed back on GDS. I have one question for you though. When I ran the simple Pojo example, I saw in the output from my Tomcat server that GDS was using AMF0, although it was supposed to be using AMF3. Do you know why that is? Thanks, Bruce On 10/16/07, tomeuchre [EMAIL
