If you're going to have thousands of clients connected simultaneously, you
may really want to consider a pull rather than push approach. The clients
can poll every few seconds to retrieve the latest updates.

Although this depends on your requirements. How timely do the updates have
to be?

there are 18 currencies and usually we need to it update it once in a
second, as other online currency trading systems are doing.

Is there something special I need to do to send data to a multicast IP and have it go across a router? Router is a Win2000 Server connecting 2 networks via RRAS PPTP. The routing appears to be working because I can ping the multicast address and get responses from the server on the other network. I didn't think ping would work like that but as long as I have the server process running I can ping the multicast IP and get a response. The...

I've got a strange problem receiving multicast packets in a C# application. What's strange is that it works *sometimes* but not always. I create a socket, call bind(), set the multicast socket option and then fire off a thread that calls "receiveFrom()" in a loop. This works sometimes, but other times it'll get into a funk where the "receiveFrom()" call doesn't return even though a packet trace capture (Ethereal) shows that the...

Hi guys, I have a daemon running on Debian and listening for multicast packets sent to 224.0.0.251:5353 (ZeroConf Multicast DNS queries). The server is plugged into a VLAN trunk with eth0 and joins several VLANs using virtual interfaces (i.e. eth0.xxx). It should be able to capture the UDP packets on any interfaces, so it spawns a thread for each interface specified in a config file, and for each thread it creates a socket: ...

Hi, I'm trying to send a large number of messages to a UDP multicast group with which I have one client subscribed. But I'm losing mesages, and I'm not entirely sure why.

I was working on a multicast client and ran into a possible problem. Here is the code... udpClient = new UdpClient(4000); udpClient.JoinMulticastGroup(IPAddress.Parse("224.1.1.1")); udpClient.BeginReceive(new AsyncCallback(DoUDPReceive), this); My concern is that it seems to make exclusive use of port 4000 so I worry that in a Citrix environment, it would fail with an AddressAlreadyInUse exception like it does if you run two...

Hi, I have a conceptual question on Events and Multicast Delegates. Let me explain: As we know an event is a multicast delegate. What we declare as an event is inherently a multicast delegate. I really do not undrestand what additional features the "event" keyword adds to multicast delegate. The only thing that I see as an additional feature is a "Thunder Icon" near event name in VS IDE when intellisense works;).

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
