General Q on winsock which I not found on the board

Greetings, I have the following situation - 1 server with a winsock array
and upto 254 Clients. The comp. environment is W2000, VB6

The protokoll I am using is TCP. The transfer between Server und Clients
is purly textbased (ASCII).

The clients are mainly requesting textfiles from the server, but on a
lesser level sending also larger text to the server. Ratio i guess (50:1)

The whole thing is not another chat app, but the structure of the app
is nearly the same.

Q: What happend on the server site winsock if 10% of the clients login
on / requesting data etc in the same time (not exactly but you know
what I thing off)? Is the winsock on the server site capable to manage
this, or do I need to implement a kind of buffer. If yes - any example
/ link would be great.

thanks in advance

that is why there is a testing phase, just try it and see if it can handle it, it should be fine. If its quite a big app you should consider using the Winsock API instead of the winsock control, find tuts at www.winsockvb.com
