[Tutor] Urgent - Using Threads for processing each single Packet ?

[Liam Clarke]

Hi Sudarshana,

Out of curiosity, what are you building that requires you post 500
pages to a server at once?
I apologise if the question is intrusive, but I can think of a few
appns that involve that, and none of them are good.

Regards,

Liam Clarke
