[JDEV] Some Performance issues

Minimum bandwidth?? Every client uses a long-lived tcp socket. I'm not sure
we have stats on average packet length from clients. Perhaps others can
comment about their # of simultaneous connections and what kind of
connectivity they have.

Currently, using the standard client connection module (pthsock), you'll be
limited to 1000 connections. Newer client connection apps (like jadc2s) can
handle more. Jadc2s for the 1.4.x servers can be found in cvs here:

Nope.

VoIP combined with jabber would happen out of band. Some folks out there
have used jabber for session initiation, but I have not seen any protocol
for doing this yet. It's a pretty trivial affair to encapsulate the Sess.
Init stuff in normal jabber packets.

> 7) Is there any C# or VB.NET open source client available using

Checkout jabber-net.. a set of libs for client and component development:
