I need to support "lots" (how many is the question) of connections to multiple different locations, while noting disconnections (both graceful and ungraceful) and connections. I'd love to make the limiting factor the amount of traffic (which will be low compared to the number of connections), and I'm trying to figure out if I should use generic TCP, UDP, or maybe a hacked up version of TCP. Feel free to tell me to RTFM, if you'd be so kind as to tell me where the FM is. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
