WCF performance, latency and scalability

Question

I\'m trying to port a simple async TCP server in F# to C# 4. The server receives a connection, reads a single request and streams back a sequence of responses before closing

Answer 1

I would say it depends on your goals. If you want to push your hardware as far as possible then it is certainly possible to get 10,000+ connected clients easily, the secret is minimising time spent in the garbage collector and using sockets efficiently.

I have a few posts on Sockets in F# here: http://moiraesoftware.com
