It sounds like my next task is to take the server I wrote using Mina and "port" it to Netty to see what the real differences are. I'll post a followup here in a few days after I get a blog up with the source code for my NBD-on-Mina prototype. My eventual goal is to have a production capable server using NIO and zero-copy, though at the moment I'm still experimenting with different frameworks...
Thanks all for your responses. -John On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:41 PM, Christian Migowski <chrismf...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > Here is my (I am a former Mina user and now Netty user) perception: > >
