Boost ASIO library for high performance networking servers

If anybody is venturing into developing networking libraries in C++ , the ACE framework is the one that strikes your mind first.

Recently came across the library called boost asio - available here .

Boost ASIO definitely makes things much easy and portable. If the application we are developing needs to be truly portable - the fact that asio is part of the boost framework guarantees portability by definition ( across a large number of compilers across many platforms).

There is also an interesting article on the design patterns to be used by the boost library available here.

That makes interesting reading for sure.
