# WSA-Poll**
**WSA-Poll** is a Windows-specific alternative to `poll`, used for monitoring multiple sockets
for readiness in non-blocking network applications. It is commonly utilized in server-side
game development to handle multiple client connections efficiently. Unlike `select`, `WSA-Poll`
eliminates the limitation of FD_SETSIZE, allowing it to scale better for a larger number of
connections. However, it is generally less efficient than `epoll` on Linux due to its linear
scanning mechanism. For high-performance game servers on Windows, IOCP (I/O Completion Ports)
is often preferred over `WSA-Poll`.
