Mono and C# IOCP: Is it a good idea?

Question

I'm porting a c++ app to c# that uses IOCP on it's server.

Can mono handle IOCP as well as windows? will i get comparable performance to c++ or i should try something else?

thanks

Answer 1

Do you target mono for windows? If it is linux then there is a different async i/o model, not completion ports. I assume mono developers did their best to support it.

Forwhy

Answer 2

The main overhead in IOCP is the IO not the language. You should expect the same performance from the C# code as in C++ (Given the mature state that Mono is in).

Frecklefaced

You should NOT expect the same performance as IOCP must be implemented in the operating system. Linux uses an incompatible pattern of dealing with IO. – Ingredient
