<div style="text-align: left;">Hi Oscar,<br><br>Very interesting reading! I wish I had known you were working on this. I have been experimenting with an information push system using ejabberd, where the profile is a low traffic (with bursts) but lots of connections. Can you expand on the problems with FreeBSD? Even if outside the scope of the paper, did you investigate it? <br><br>Hilsen,<br>Anders<br><br><br>Oscar Hellström wrote:
