Raining Sockets
Raining Sockets is a high-performance, non-blocking, sockets-based framework. Non-blocking IO (NIO or NBIO) allows one to create thousands of connections in a single thread, thus making applications highly scalable, compared to the thread-per-client model used prior to JDK 1.4. A user only needs to override the event that needs to be customized, such as what to do with arrived (or arriving) data, or what to do when a write has completed. Raining Sockets has been tested successfully with over 13,000 concurrent connections.

Recent releases
- 26 Jan 2004 23:14
Changes: This release features pipelining (multiple GET requests on one connection) and persistent connections on the NIO framework, as per RFC 2616.
- 10 Oct 2003 05:50
Changes: A bug was fixed that prevented ProxyServer and Server from using the same version of NioSocket. There are also code cleanups. It has been tested successfully with 13000 concurrent connections.
- 08 Oct 2003 03:10
Changes: This is a load tested version of both the client and server.
- 06 Oct 2003 20:26
Changes: A file for increasing the number of files on Linux was included. The Proxy Server now runs, since it now unconditionally handles terminators in NioSocket at the time of reading on a connect channel. Other minor changes were made to deal with the situation of running two servers with more than 10K connections.
- 03 Oct 2003 14:13
Changes: A load testing client and a simple server that extend the NIO Framework have been added. Based on this, the code was refactored and cleaned.
