[Spread-users] int16 and int32 declaration conflict

[John Schultz]

MAX_SEGMENTS defines how many spread segments (i.e. - LANs) you can have in a configuration.

MAX_PROCS_SEGMENT defines how many spread daemons you can have in one segment (i.e. - a LAN).  Typically though, a configuration will only be stable if you keep the # of daemons less than 60 or so.

Typically, a single daemon (e.g. - Linux) can handle hundreds of clients.  I think the #define is something like MAX_FD_EVENTS.

The bigger problem you will have with such a large group is that the memberships won't fit in a single message.  I'm not sure what Spread will do in that case even if you turn off membership reporting for all your clients.

Cheers!

Hi,

May I ask you something in general about Spread. I am writing a program where potentially hundreds of devices will join same spread group and send/receive messages using multicast. I found in Spread manual that maximum spread daemons (MAX_SEGMENTS) is 20 and number of clients in each daemon (MAX_PROCS_SEGMENT) is 128. So does it mean I can only have 128*20 = 2560 clients to join same group using multiple daemons? Is there any workaround if I want to connect lets say 5000 clients to same group.

Regards
Jiva
