Pushing realtime data feed to clients

[ryan]

I have a question about pushing realtime stock quotes to clients
through the Internet.

Is this even possible in .NET environment without creating serious
network bottleneck problems?

The clients may go in and out of the server zone.

I am leaning towards client-initiated posts to a web service (every x
milliseconds) -about 500 clients.
[Licensing issues are taken care of].

Or will remoting be an option? Isn't there a TCP/IP connection
limitation on the server?

Any input is welcome.

Thanks.

remoting is interesting on intranets , but can handle 500 clients or even
more without problems , in your situation i would more likely use a
webservice aproach
instead of pushing it would be retrieving
