Re: Use Tux for appliance control?

Thanks Alex.

 

We are trying to be cost effective, and manage hundreds of households per server.

 

You are correct, any given household is "low bandwidth" primarily command and control, but on the other hand if we can support more households with tux than with Apache, our cost per household is lower.

 

Make sense?

 

Cheers,

 

Frank

I would say, that if you are not expecting heavy traffic (and home appliance does not sound like it will have any meaningful traffic), in my opinion for now you would be better off with apache, due to the customisability levels.

We are controlling house-hold appliances in the home, and planning to use Apache.

 

I have been looking at tux as an alternative front end to handle static data, and forward dynamic data requests to Apache and other homegrown software we develop.

 

Does this sound like a viable plan, or should we stick with Apache as the front end, not use tux?

 

Our front end, is a communication API, similar to UPnP  (Universal Plug and Play)

 

Thanks!
