DSTM v EWBF - Connections to Pools?

[RedBeardCowboy]

So I saw in one of VoskCoin's videos he said (a month ago?) that he was going to be moving back to EWBF because DSTM creates a connection per card to the pool vs EWBF has one connection per rig to the pool. He mentioned stability being his issue for doing so.

Although I've not seen any stability issues, it made me wonder if multiple connections vs one would have an impact on performance or luck within the pool?

I tested on SuprNova.cc for ZEC for a week between the two and I found DSTM to be faster in terms of hashrate, but I don't feel that's enough time to test reward differences.

Do you guys know if there'd be an impact due to multiple connections?

i notice a LARGE difference after switching to dstm. although my cards pull a few extra watts on dstm, the sols/watt is way better.

at 190w/1080ti id get 685-700sols/s ewbf
at 190w/1080ti id get 700-720 sols/s dstm

I saw a big difference in DSTM also... but I'm curious what effect, if any outside of network connection issues maybe, having multiple connections to the pool vs 1 for the rig might be?

If its only 2-3% increase, that is not big difference at all  
you can get that (hash vs watt vs sol) from the miner with tweaking the cards better.

I've seen about a 9% increase with DSTM over EWBF on GTX 1060's and more on GTX 1070ti's ... but that's not really what I'm asking.

I'm wondering if having 12 connections to the pool for 1 (12 GPU) rig vs a single connection to the pool would have any impacts?

[tadeus1]

for you - no negative impact.  Especially if the GPUs are the same type/model.
for the pool - a bit more resource usage.

p.s.
And that is if it really opens 12 connections.
Easy to verify - netstat.

Well I know that, at least on my rigs, it doesn't seem to have a connection per GPU at Layer 3 or 4... I was wondering if that was at application layer or something.

if you don`t see multiple see tcp connections, then it does not open multiple connections.
I dont use dstm so cannot verify.
