SocketQ ActiveX Network Description |
|
| |
SocketQ is a high performance COM DLL designed exclusively for the purpose of creating high performance network server applications on Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and later using Winsock sockets.
SocketQ achieves this by taking advantage of the fastest method for transferring data that is available on all of the target platforms (called Overlapped I/O). In designing the component to this end, it includes many features that help achieve this, while still providing a simple interface to interact with.
The following is a brief list outlining some of the features that SocketQ offers:
Simplified access to Winsock without sacrificing performance, functionality, or reliability
Number of connections limited only by machines resources
Support for multi-homed machines (multiple IP addresses)
Support for multiple aliases
Component designed specifically for building high bandwidth network applications: built around the Overlapped I/O model
Allows for integration with SecureStream for secure SSL connections (requires SecureStream product)
Allows access to high performance OS features of NT/2000/XP/2003 facilitating the sending of a file with one line of code while using the absolute minimum required system resources (file is sent from OS systems internal file cache)
Multi-threaded sending, receiving, and connecting ensures the highest levels of efficiency
Configurable buffers for receiving data
Asynchronous or synchronous connects, both with the ability to set a timout value
Access to all Winsock supported socket options to change Winsock headers for connection customization
Allows queuing of files to send via the TransmitByFileName method without waiting for each file to complete sending |
