Hi,

first the case:
I want to implement a distributed application (client/server
architecture).
The server collects UDP packets from somewhere else. The client or
clients must somehow get these packets from the server in real time. I
mean if there are UDP packets coming to the server, the server should
immediately forward these packets to each client. It would be a great
thing if the clients could be behind a firewall, so that no network
settings are needed (e.g. open certain ports). So my idea was to use
SOAP as communication protocol.
The problem is that I have to do permanently SOAP RPCs to ask the
server if there are new packets. I think that's not so good,
especially if there are many clients, I get performance problems. Is
there a solution to solve the problem of real time passing of
information with SOAP ?

Thank you.

Bye, Tristan.
