The whole article is about doing a test to see if they can get away with using TCP instead of UDP. They end up pretty pleased with the results. Though, they don't spend nearly as much time talking about latency as they do about throughput. > For our high throughput needs, prevailing wisdom would suggest you need to write your server in C++, use UDP rather than TCP and run on a very high spec bare metal box running linux. We are already running the client in javascript; so if we ran over TCP (websockets), wrote the server code in managed C#, ran on Windows on a VM in the cloud – is this just madness?
