= Ranch
|
|
|
|
Ranch is a socket acceptor pool for TCP protocols.
|
|
|
|
== Goals
|
|
|
|
Ranch aims to provide everything you need to accept TCP connections with
|
|
a *small* code base and *low latency* while being easy to use directly
|
|
as an application or to *embed* into your own.
|
|
|
|
Ranch provides a *modular* design, letting you choose which transport
|
|
and protocol are going to be used for a particular listener. Listeners
|
|
accept and manage connections on one port, and include facilities to
|
|
limit the number of *concurrent* connections. Connections are sorted
|
|
into *pools*, each pool having a different configurable limit.
|
|
|
|
Ranch also allows you to *upgrade* the acceptor pool without having
|
|
to close any of the currently opened sockets.
