Hello,
I have spent the better part of an hour attempting to find a straight answer on the maximum number of simultaneous sockets I can have open at one time. It seems that Netduino.IP will give me access to at least 7, but with my NP+2 I obviously do not have the option to use the new hybrid stack. Simply put, I have an application in which I need to run FTP client / server and Telnet client / server. I will never have more than either client or server for each protocol at a time, but I would like to avoid having to close my server listeners to run outgoing connections. Using the telnet side I am not worried, but when running FTP I will need 2 sockets at once with the client, and the server will consume 3 sockets during file transfer (Listener, Command, Data).
Am I able to use 4-5 sockets at once? I found some older information that stated there was a max of 4, but one socket *may* be tied up for DNS. Is that accurate?
Also, is Netduino.IP going to be headed to the older ND+2? The 3 looks promising, but I have quite a few custom PCBs for NP+2 (and wireless is not an option, anyways).
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
