Title Body

I have been building a client / server app with Silverlight, web services, and polling. Apparently I missed the whole Duplex Communication thing when I was first researching this subject. At any rate, the MSDN article I saw on the subject was promising. When researching the scalability, it appears as if there's conflicting opinions on the subject. silverlight.net/forums/t/89970.aspx - This thread seems to indicate that the duplex polling only supports a finite amount of concurrent clients on the server end . dotnetaddict.dotnetdevelopersjournal.com/sl_polling_duplex.htm - This blog entry shows up in multiple places, so it muddies waters. silverlight.net/forums/t/108396.aspx - This thread shows that I'm not the only one with this concern, but there are no answers in it. silverlight.net/forums/t/32858.aspx - Despite all the bad press, this thread seems to have an official response saying the 10 concurrent connections is per machine . In short, does anyone have facts / benchmarks? Thanks :)
