What are the TCP/IP Limitations with the Networking Components? |
 | ||
|
The LLP client and server components described in these sections are included for legacy backward compatibility only. They are not supported for new application development. If you are developing a new application, use Iguana as the transport mechanism for sending messages over LLP, and use the Iguana plugin API to define an interface between your application and the Iguana server. For more details on using plugins in Iguana, see Working With Plugins. For reasons why you should use Iguana instead of Chameleon for your LLP solution, see Why Choose Iguana Over Chameleon?. | ||

The networking components included with Chameleon do not impose any technical limitations other than those imposed by the operating system on which the components are running.
If you are using a POSIX-compliant operating system, such as Mac OS X or Solaris, the networking components are implemented using the Berkeley sockets API.
If you are using Windows, the networking components are implemented using Microsoft WinSock 2.
You will need to test any application that uses Chameleon's networking components to make sure that it is not affected by any limitations imposed by the implementation of socket connections on your operating system.
