Something that has bugged me for a while is the current implementation of the network driver. It was never meant to be production code, rather just a foundation to test and work from.
The new implementation will use Windows Overlapped I/O with callback notifications, instead of polling for events and/or creating a bunch of threads. I plan to allow upwards of 10,000 connections per-server! So, I have to be very careful with how this is ultimately re-designed. I printed out some of the Orion Engine code for the network manager, and the network driver. I also printed out some of the Winsock documentation. I have my yellow hi-liter! I’m going to spread all of this out on a big table this weekend, and get really focused!
