The article is from 2007, much has happened since then and so it does not cover important topics like poll / epoll / kqueue / IOCP performance let alone networking libraries like libevent and libev. If anyone is interested in more modern high performance networking in C I would recommend you check out - libevent http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ libev http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html or if you're doing C++, Boost.Asio http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/boost_asio.htm...
