Description:

Why use Custom Filters?

Resolution:

There is no theoretical limit to the number of Notification Service clients (suppliers and consumers) that can be connected to a single event-channel.

However, there are practical limits that must be observed based on your exact deployment scenario. In a push-model, the factors to consider for the number of connected consumers include:

1. The implementation detail of the consumer (i.e. the amount of processing done in the consumer's push method).
2. The event throughput required (including any bursts of heavy loading).
3. The computer resources available (for the proxy suppliers).

The event channel's MaxConsumers and MaxSuppliers admin properties can be used to control the number of connected clients that a channel permits.
