Building Scalable TCP/IP Applications with Apache MINA

Apache MINA is an open-source Java based framework for building scalable and fast network applications. MINA based applications have been known to scale to 250,000 concurrent TCP/IP connections on a single host. MINA provides an abstract event-driven asynchronous API. This API has multiple implementations: Java NIO, Apache Portable Run-time (via Tomcat native interface), serial (RS-232) using rxtx.org, in JVM pipes, and more to come including SCTP, multicast, Infiniband, and asynchronous transports provided by JSR 203. MINA simplifies the development, maintainability, testability, and reusability of network code by facilitating a clear separation of transport, protocol codec, and business logic. MINA also provides manageability out of the box through JMX. Apache MINA also provides support for asynchronous HTTP (client and server), a high performance FTP server, and asynchronous client side database interaction.
