I'm also interested in this theme. AFAIR, dnode 6 months ago was good in features but terribly slow comparing to socket.io/axon.
https://github.com/visionmedia/axon looks interesting, but unstable yet - I have already found an issue ( https://github.com/visionmedia/axon/pull/62 ). Also I don't like it's feature to open a new socket/port for each communication type. Also I don't like Socket.io's feature that it doesn't free ACK callbacks (probably already does) which is a leak for long & intensive s2s sockets. воскресенье, 28 октября 2012 г., 1:32:19 UTC+7 пользователь Jacob написал: > > I was wondering what others are using for communication between back-end > servers.
