I notice that the UDT select method doesn't use a system call, but rather uses pthread timers. How well does UDT scale with the number of socket connections? Can it handle thousands of socket connections?
Thanks!

It should be OK to support thousands level of sockets on a PC. UDT does not use the system select because the UDT sockets work at user space and system calls cannot tell what happens to a UDT socket.
