anope or ircservices?

Guest · Posted: Jul 30, 2005 10:37am Post subject: anope or ircservices?

Hello,

I have a small net which has more than 3000 users as an average.

Our current services backend is MySQL 4.1.x based on modified sirvnet 2.9 which works with bahamut 1.8.x

I need to be able to unload NickServ whenever I need to do that ..etc.

So what is the best choice to go with? ircservices 5.x or anope 1.7.x with the features make any of them better than the other one.

Which one can deal with big amount of users with no problems with alot of flood, clones ..etc.

Thank you,

-A

Here would be Anope's strong points, been to long since I looked at ircservices to know

1. It can handle large number of users, ask Rizon Network, they run with a slightly modified anope.

2. It has a built in option called "Defcon" which if you feel the network is under attack you can set the "Defcon" level and this will spawn various actions such as mode locking channels, to having services ignore users.

3. It can session limit based on host, so to many hosts from one IP will kill them off

4. It can write to mysql its data, it does not read from it**
Of note this is one thing that ircservices does not do

Minus as far as your post goes

1. Anope can not "unload" NickServ.. it can protect it but it will always be connected.

You will hear alot of stuff about what will make each better then the other, in the end it comes down to what features you feel help your network.
