IOCP

Hello,

  Any chance for IOCP support in the future ?

[FPiette 382]

Probably not.

Why would you need IOCP with ICS?

Well Isn't IOCP faster for a lot of connections ?

IOCP may have some benefits with threaded applications, but those are very rare with ICS. 

 

I did some FTP testing a few years ago, ICS was opening over 100 non-SSL connections each second, slower with SSL due to all the negotiation that goes on and IOCP would be irrelevant there. 

 

I thought IOCP with TCP was mainly for speeding up transmission, sending larger blocks or files or something. 

 

But ICS is quite fast already, I transfer files using ICS FTP between my two public hosted servers in different data centres each night, and file transfer is usually 300 to 400 Mbit/s, less than the gig ethernet port speed, but respectable for the public internet, via routers and firewalls.
