10,000 players

Folks,

I'll state upfront that I'm writing a poker game so the only parts of Torque that I'll be using are the GUI and networking. Yes, I might go with the upcoming T2D if networking is the same as in TGE.

What do I need to do to support 10,000 players on my server? Poker is a turn-based game so assuming 10 players per game and 1000 games running, I will only be processing 1000 requests at one time. Packets are rather small too.

Thanks, Joel

@Ben... I know that TNL uses UDP but going TCP is much simpler for me at the moment. Reliability is taken care of and I can just push strings around. I will certainly go UDP in the future if I feel the need to do so. Then I'll probably make the Erlang-side compatible with TNL.

That would be a pretty cool thing...

I was mostly remarking so that people wouldn't come to any false conclusions about the relative merits of TCP, Erlang, TNL, and other technologies. :)

How did your plans go with implementing Erlang for AI? I'm looking at using our Erlang code server side, while using TGEA as a client, and would be very interested in any progress you've made.
