8 years ago TxThings is based on Twisted framework, which is an asynchronous I/O framework. Async frameworks require that software using them is written in a particular, non-blocking way. The reactor is an event loop, and should be a main loop of your program. The advantage of using event loop is that requests are not blocking - you can make 200 requests simultaneously.
Excuse my being new to the reactor way of things, but how does one go about making say 200 CoAP requests using txthings library? Specifically- do i run and stop reactor after every request? I get a feeling that this isn't the way to go as the overhead of starting stopping the reactor thread with every request will be fairly massive.
