I have a scenario where I'm trying to research (and utilise) the best available C++ Library to fulfill the following requirements:

Develop a low-level Linux based TCP/IP Socket CLIENT application, that, a) can connect to a 3rd party SERVER via up to 4-5 sockets b) POLL it every 200 milli seconds (with a small piece of data) - via all 5 sockets c) and. based on the reply it gets, occassionally send an XML-formatted request(a rather important one).

The most important factor in this design is to be PERFORMANCE and latency + minimal development time(for me)

I already have a (past) background doing these things in C(and some C++), but have done some research and come up with a short=list of possible ready-made Socket libraries to use.

a) Boost::Asio b) http://www.alhem.net/Sockets/index.html - C++ Sockets Library c) other possible "small scale" and minimally functional libraries

OR, design and Write it my self , using BSD sockets and some multi-threading options(which was my original plan)

Anyone with any ideas on the best and most time-saving route to take ??

Thanks folks.

    Something seems inconsistent. Your performance requirements are absolutely minimal, so why is performance the most important factor? It's like saying, "I want to build a bridge for ants, and the most important thing is that it be able to carry lots of weight." – David Schwartz Sep 10 '14 at 20:42
  • Fair enough. I don't (and neither do many of the members on it) (fully) really resonate - nor agree with -the some of ways of StackOverflow- generally anyway. PLease feel free to delete the question and I will forget all about this. Blessings from the Light, MITreYaBuddha. . . – Cosmic OM... Sep 11 '14 at 10:23

I believe Poco C++ Library ( http://pocoproject.org/ ) is what you need. it is a highly protective and the performance very impressive and mainly for networking + it is really well documented.
