How fast is Flash player for handling real-time data push applications? - This application demonstrates that you can receive as much as 2000 messages per second to a single client. You can do that with really low latencies.
Summary:
Real-time data push can be very powerful. How you use it is completely up to you. We recently released performance benchmark for LCDS. If you are developing data push application – this is a must read.
Using the new version of LCDS, we were able to push 400,000 messages per second with an average latency of less than 15 ms. We ran this for 5 days.
With the new version of LCDS, we have included a load test tool with the product. The load test tool is written in Java and allows you to simulate simultaneous Flash player instances.
