I’ve been looking at various server solutions for implementing realtime chat /realtime games, with a flash front end.
Rather than using am inelegant polling php solution , I thought I’d look into something more efficient and quick responding.
Normally I’d look straight to Adobe Media Server, but a) it’s heavy on server resources and b) the dev version has a piddling 10 simultaneous connections (£3k+ for a full licence). As the project I’m looking at implementing is a shoestring affair that just ain’t happening..
