Ice
Overview
module Ice
The Ice core library. Among many other features, the Ice core
library manages all the communication tasks using an efficient
protocol (including protocol compression and support for both TCP
and UDP), provides a thread pool for multi-threaded servers, and
additional functionality that supports high scalability.
