Re: Using Same Channel for multiple Clients (General questions)

HI

Thanks for quick Reversal,

Let me explain our application in little details. We are developing a streaming application using WODVpn. An application can be a client connected to many servers and also on the other hand simultaneously it can act as server at the same time.

Now to cut the long story short, for instance server using WodVpn has acquired a port and a connection is made after first client comes in through mediator.

now what we want is that every client shall not create a channel on connection as it will increase the number of port aquired.

So considering a fact that 2 client are comming from 2 different machine, can they join the channel between initiated by the server.

Kindly help

Abhishek,

one channel can tunnel any number of connections from one side to another. It is not restricted to only one. Multiple clients can connect to same listening port and the same time, and they will all be redirected to the destination.

Typical example is SocksProxy on 1080. You can use it to browse websites throught he tunnel, and typicall websites contain many images - all of them are requested from the client in the same time.

Hope this helps.
