Hi there,

Im writing my own billing server for my asss zone and i was wondering everytime a user connects to the biller should it create a new tcp socket for him? or just use 1 socket?

Do you mean user as in player or as in server? The players login through the server's connection to the biller so...

When writing a biller that handles the new TCP protocol, or for any case when you are writing an application that uses TCP you should:

Have a socket listening on a port for new connections. Every new connection will have its own socket to listen/send from.

Code: Show/Hide

MAIN PORT (Listen for new connections)

SERVER1 SERVER2 SERVER3
