Conclusion

In this chapter, we have looked at several different communication protocols as well as the different methods to manage interaction with clients. The implications of dealing with clients are much greater than you might think. Often what limits a server is not pure processing power but the server's ability to handle the I/O. Using an event handle or IOCP can go a long way toward opening up that bottleneck.

In the next chapter, we will look at further integration with Microsoft SQL Server, making full use of the server-side development possibilities of that environment. Then in Chapter 14 we will put it all together and create a server-based application that will use many of the techniques and APIs covered so far to create a reliable server that can monitor the health of other servers. This is a nontrivial application that will be further enhanced in Chapter 15 using the active Internet technologies Active Server Pages and ISAPI Extensions covered in Chapters 9 and 10.
