What difference is between to use TWSocketThrdServer
and use TWSocketServer with ClientThread? Which is
better for me?
---- END.
TWSocketThrdServer spawns a new thread for each
incoming client (or a new thread after the maximum
amount of clients per threads has been reached).
TWSocketServer handles all clients within the same
thread in an asynchroneous, event-driven way.
Both handle multiple clients at the same time, the
difference is the thread model. If you use the
multi-threaded version, keep in mind that development
and debugging is substantially more complex because
of thread-safety and synchronization issues. Also,
keep in mind that spawning new threads is a
resource-expensive process. Because of this, it is
always recommended that you use the single-threaded
approach unless you *absolutely need* to use multiple
threads. As I have discovered recently on this list
while discussing this topic, if you are not sure that
you *absolutely need* to use multiple threads, then
chances are you don't.
TWSocketServer is able to handle many hundreds of
concurrent clients in an efficient way, and its
optimized for high-performance. However, if your
clients have to do very intense or long processing
with the data, this may prevent the other clients
from processing data, so you may need to look into
the multi-threaded approach.
