Currently I have encountered a maximum of ~4800 users connected at once. I am already trying a small thing with 5 frames imitating the above website and already used it with 10 clients at once which work on a Quad-Xeon (P3/550MHz/768MByte) on a 2.5 MBit Internet connection. > in all honesty I'd recommend using openfire together with sparkweb or a > custom client - that combo is premade, feature packed, opensource and > can easily handle circa 50k users in realtime per server (connections > and things aside).

I have a Jabber Server (Package "jabber"; Debian Distribution) installed but no one want to use it... Pidgin is working perfectly with it and is available on ALL Operating Systems. However, I need a Webinterface where People can connect to others een if they have NO Laptop/Smartphone with them. Is there a USER Web-Interface to Jabber? > going down the php route is a complete waste of time imho (unless you > are creating a custom php socket server which bypasses apache, > implementing XMPP and connecting in the users client via flash, flex or > a java client) I was thinking on a Flash/Java solution too, but I do not know HOW TO create this Flash-Stuff and do not even code Java. > yours, not of a very strong opinion, nathan Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening Michelle Konzack Systemadministrator Tamay Dogan Network Debian GNU/Linux Consultant -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ ##################### Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ##################### <http://www.tamay-dogan.net/> Michelle Konzack <http://www.can4linux.org/> Apt. 917 <http://www.flexray4linux.org/> 50, rue de Soultz Jabber linux4michelle@jabber.ccc.de 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com) Tel.
