Hey Bogdan, You should be just fine using MINA. We are using MINA in Openfire and so far we got up to 170K concurrent connections in a single JVM. Those 170K sockets were sending traffic to the server all the time. In any case, it's up to your processing logic to be as fast as the incoming rate. Otherwise things will start to queue up in the incomign queue of MINA. Anyway, you can use the throttle filter to prevent running out of memory.

The server will publish data to lots of clients (around 30 000). The majority of these connections will be active a few hours. The data being sent to the clients is small but at a high frequency (500-1000 milliseconds). I wanted to build a solution that would use a pool of threads and using select (nio) I could handle more than one socket connection per thread. Then, I found this project, and I wonder if MINA 's threads are managing more that one connection/thread. This wasn't clear in the documentation (on the website) or in the Developer Guide. The server machine will have 4 Processors x 2 Cores (Xeon @ 3GHz) and 32 GB memory. Do you think MINA is appropriate for my project? Thank you, Bogdan Pistol
