Performance Problems
- • Makes you network dependent (TCP/IP)
- • Communication protocol overheads (TCP/IP, especially)
Performance Tips
- • When dealing with local sockets consider other
options like pipes or shared memory.
- • Establishing a connection is the most costly
part of the TCP/IP layer. Think carefully about re-using pre-existing connections.
- • When transfering large chunks of data, consider using
a compression/encryption method to lower bandwidth
