It would be quite nice to be able to do something equivalent to sendto() with a DatagramAcceptor or a DatagramConnector.
I've written a UDP application based on Mina that sends precisely 1 packet to 1 million end points, and waits for 1 packet from 1 million end points. Each 2 packet exchange is 1 Mina IoSession, and I continuously reuse the same 1000 - 5000 prebound IoSession objects, that is, I keep 1000 - 5000 of these exchanges in flight at a time. Profiling the application showed me that it spends 60% of its CPU time in the newSession() call. I need to create a session per remote end point, so that's 1 million calls to DatagramAcceptor.newSession(), and it hurts. I used to do this with DatagramConnector.connect(), but this was 2 times slower than the current implementation using DatagramAcceptor. It would be nice to be able to send the packet and not bind with the remote destination first, and would probably double my performance. And performance is very, very important to me in this application.
