Hi,

- sorry about the last subject -

As far I know, tha best way the client has to comunicate with MTS server is using TCP/IP protocol, at least it was what Microsoft suport told me.

But what is the best way for an MTS server to comunicate with another MTS server? TCP/IP or UDP/IP protocols?

Can anyone tell me the major differences between those two protocols?
regards,

You'd want TCP. UDP is a &quot;best effort&quot; protocol, which means that packets can be lost. TCP will retry several times to ensure packets aren't lost.
