Java unicast and multicast performance

Question

Hi: Has someone compared Java unicast and multicast implementation against those written in C? which programming language give better performance? If I am going to implement a demon thread and constantly poll two cluster units in order to achieve High Availability.

Answer 1

It will be network bound, so the choice of programming language won't make much difference. You'll find networking code much easier to write in Java rather than grappling with the C API.
