Enabling Multiple Sockets

Is there a way to enable multiple sockets on the spinneret? I am working on a project that is pretty big and the spinneret is taking forever to serve the files. If I could enable all sockets it would really help.

    Yes, you have 4 sockets at your disposal. Just use the SocketOpen method to setup each.

    So I would just create multiple
    W5100.SocketOpen(0, W5100#_TCPPROTO, localSocket, destSocket, @destIP[0])

    changing the 0 to 1-3

    and create multiple
    PRI OpenSocketAgain
  W5100.SocketOpen(0, W5100#_TCPPROTO, localSocket, destSocket, @destIP[0])
  W5100.SocketTCPlisten(0)
  return
    entries substituting the SocketOpen(0 for SocketOpen(1 through SocketOpen(3 and
    W5100.SocketTCPlisten(0) for W5100.SocketTCPlisten(1) through W5100.SocketTCPlisten(3).

    You got it. While that does indeed open multiple sockets, I can't be sure that accomplishes what you want it to.

    Does the Spinneret automatically push information through all available sockets or does it have to be configured further to dispatch information? After enabling all sockets I did not see any change in speed and have no way of telling if they are being used.

    Nothing is automatic, you will need to implement what you are hoping to accomplish in code. You will need to place data into each socket independently for it to be sent.

    Would one be able to increase transmission speed, say with a repeating AJAX request?
    I have this suspicion that utilizing multiple sockets is a daunting task.

    Not sure, I'm not well versed in AJAX.

    I guess in this specific case it depends on the problem, which FinnCA has described yet.
