I am building an application that has tens of thousands of clients. There are times when I need to talk to quite a few of the clients using PB.
When I have to talk to a single (or a few) clients via PB I do the normal thing - issue multiple calls. In the cases where I have to talk to quite a few clients I had thought of changing the object I am sending to include the names of the machines I am interested in talking to. I would then send it via multicast using PB. I know this would require some changes on the PB side, but I am wondering if anyone sees a problem doing this?
Peace, Chaz.
PB connections were only ever designed to operate between two peers. It's designed to run over a reliable stream protocol, e.g. TCP.
Actually, PB's initial design did include provisions for operation over UDP. However, Twisted does not include any implementation of those parts of PB, so this is perhaps a useless correction. ;) Jean-Paul
