kweiss -Interested User- Posts: 8 Joined: Mar 28, 2005	Posted: Sep 16, 2005 04:20 PM Msg. 1 of 3 Hi! What is the maximum number of threads that can hit IQConnect at any one time? For that matter, what would be optimal? You should assume that each TCP/IP connection within my program consumes it own thread. I assume that IQConnect uses some sort of thread pool and a request / response queue, but I may be wrong. In either case I want to balance maximum throughput with long-term reliability. Thanks....

As squirlhntr posted, you can use as many as is reasonable. Thanks! Natalie Natalie Hannan DTN Market Access, LLC.
