[Mono-dev] System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp upgrade to Async

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi there,

As far as I see here:

https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/System.Runtime.Remoting/System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp

the good old TCP channel has been largely untouched for about 4 years now.

We use it on a daily basis in Plastic SCM (with some tweaks) but I
wonder if there's interest in converting it into Async sockets.

We're considering it right now, but my question is also: do you think
remoting is dead and should stay this way? Any better alternative?

We use it because:
- It give us high perf (binary serialization, custom serialization of
types all the time and so on)
- It works like a charm between windows/linux/mac/solaris



Thanks,

pablo
