Hello boost users,<br><br>I&#39;m currently working on a MMO game server and have been using the boost::asio to deal with sockets. For now i&#39;m concerned with responsiveness and scalability, and have been thinking of two ways to achieve that.<br>
<br>The first way would be multiple calls to io_service.run, each in a different thread, using the strand object to synchronize the callback handlers. The other way is to explicit use threads and locks with the boost::thread lib.<br>
So could you point me what would be the main differences (maybe advantages and disadvantages) between both ways? What way do you think is it better? I want to hear some opinions.<br><br>Thanx in advance and best regards!<br clear="all">
