Hello,
[...snip...]
I know this is all somewhat vague. I'm just curious to hear thoughts that any of you have on the matter. Also, I haven't yet figured out what sort of server-side coding would be neccessary to dynamically assign ports to their respective instances in PD. I suppose I should talk to a PERL adept, huh?
usually, a good network implementation should not have a problem with multiple users on the same port. think of a web site .....
and then, many programs can be used stand-alone as deamons, that means for example: an ftp connection is incomming, the network deamon (inetd, xinetd, ...) fires up the neccesarry software/program to handle the incomming connection.
maybe it could all be done by just dynamically instantiating a subpatch for each incomming connection (and destroying afterwards), controlled by external events? like a script, called by inetd, sending a message to pd to create a subpatch (i.e. netsend/receive) by using the given network parameters?
just a thought ....
Thanks, Marcus
