Feedback from a production Netty user

[mrhodes at gmail.com]

Trustin and JBoss, thank you very much for producing this excellent library  
that has allowed me to focus on my application while giving me the benefits  
of NIO for "free" through an event-based programming model was a perfect  
fit for my application. The app has been running in production since  
November the 16th and allows us to maintain long-lived, stateful client  
connections that communicate with each other in an asynchronous manner.

During our lab testing the library has displayed excellent performance  
characteristics, allowing us to service >50k transactions/s from  
approximately 30k connected clients on a commodity Intel server costing  
approximately $850. Even at that throughput level we were bandwidth-, not  
CPU-, limited on our server. In addition to the positive performance tests,  
our JVM has not been restarted since the initial go-live.

We are currently using 3.0.0.CR4, when we do our next application release  
we will certify with the latest GA release of the library.

Thanks,
Matt
