Socket options

[Tor Erik Sønvisen]

Hi

For an online game I'm developing I need some advice concerning tcp-sockets,
and especially which socket options to set and not.
What I want is a connection where nothing is buffered (but are sent
immediatly), and I also want to keep the connections persistent until
explicitly closed.
The server-side socket will receive multiple incomming requests from
clients...

If you are intrested in speed my personal advice is to use UDP insted of
TCP.
The great majority of network games use it.
Here's a simple UDP implementation:
