TcpClient Sockets

[millzy7]

Hi,

I am using TcpClient/TcpListener Sockets and C#. It works perfectly.

Except when i have a lot of clients trying to make a connection to the server at the same time.

Can i handle this with TcpClient/TcpListener, is there a way of telling it to queue up the attempts to connect rather than failing them as it does now?

Thanks

Millzy

Look into using asynchronous socket calls. These are based on the Windows IOCompletionPort objects, and are the same thing that IIS and other high-performance components use. You will, however, need to rearchitect your code to accomodate this.

Thanks Chip,

I'm using Asynchronous Sockets now, e.g

callbackRead = new AsyncCallback(this.OnReadComplete);

sockStream.BeginRead(buf, 0, buf.Length, callbackRead, null);

But i get an error sometimes saying "an operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because
a queue was full"

Shouldnt Asynchronous Sockets have taken care of this?

I am still using this line of code

TcpListener tcpListener;
Socket sockToClient = tcpListener.AcceptSocket();

Are TCPListeners Asynchronous?

Thanks

How many sockets do you have open?
Do you have a thread that closes dormant sockets (where there's been no activity for 5 minutes, etc)?
