#2 Improve server architecture

[Markus Elfring]

I suggest to consider current design options to increase the performance and scalability of the server implementation.

Although TFTP Servers are basically boot servers, serving large files, less in number, I would study the possibilty of using thread pool. Thanks for your suggession.

I would prefer to keep this issue open until relevant and useable design decisions can be clarified.

Are you going to reuse any advices from the paper "Optimizing Thread-Pool Strategies for Real-Time CORBA"?

Release 1.5 supports Thread Pools. Thread Pool Size can be specified.

Sorry for typo, it is release 1.4 which implements Thread Pools. It is currently Beta, but will be production soon.

Are you going to integrate your source files into a public repository system like Subversion or Git?

I do not not know those systems.
I need to learn them, then would like to do it.

Thanks

Why did you not reuse any class library in your source file "tftpserver.cpp" to avoid any potential programming errors?
Do you want to stick to C APIs?
