I must develop a system made of nodes in a tree layout. Each node (computer) has many children and only one father.
Each node sends TCP messages (using a propietary protocol) to the father, an the father itself must send the messages to the grandfather and so on. I have been using MINA to solve many of the communications concerns, but now i have some doubts. My questions are: 1. Is there a way to simulate at the lowest posible level, many sockets over a single socket?. I mean, using a single socket to send to the grandfather all the messages comming from the children, so i can reuse the procotol logic in all the levels. 2. If not, another aproach would be replicate all the child socktets in all the levels, so at the upper level i will end with a single machine with too many sockets. How much is the overhead (in reources or CPU) of using multiple sockets vs. single socket?. Is there any limit? Sorry for my english. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Many-sockets-over-single-socket-tp14266741s16868p14266741.html Sent from the Apache MINA Support Forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
