 # Rusty BACnet — Benchmarks & Stress Test Results
 
-> Run date: 2026-03-05 | Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon) | Rust 1.93 | JDK 21.0.10 | Release mode
+> Last full run: 2026-03-05 | Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon) | Rust 1.93 | JDK 21.0.10 | Release mode
 >
 > TLS provider: aws-lc-rs | All tests ran on localhost with zero errors unless noted.
+>
+> **2026-03-20 update:** Server dispatch loop now spawns per-request tasks for concurrent
+> multi-client handling. Quick benchmarks show ~44% read throughput improvement at 1000 ops.
+> Client multi-device batch API added (`read_property_from_devices`, etc.) with
+> `buffer_unordered` concurrency. Full benchmark run pending.

 ### 1.3 BACnet/IPv6 (BIP6) — UDP Transport

 - **Encoding is fast**: Full RP encode/decode stack in ~131 ns (CPU-bound, no allocation hot paths thanks to `Bytes` zero-copy)
 - **BIP throughput scales linearly**: 40K/s single-client → 161K/s at 50 clients with sub-millisecond p99
+- **Concurrent dispatch unlocks RwLock parallelism**: Server now spawns per-request tasks — multiple ReadProperty requests run truly concurrently via `db.read()`. Quick benchmarks show ~44% read throughput improvement (full run pending)
+- **Multi-device batch API**: Client `read_property_from_devices()` / `read_property_multiple_from_devices()` / `write_property_to_devices()` fan out to N devices concurrently with configurable `max_concurrent` (default 32). Available in Rust, Python, and Java/Kotlin
 - **Object count doesn't matter**: 100 → 5,000 objects shows zero latency degradation (RwLock contention minimal)
 - **COV is reliable**: 100% notification delivery at 25 concurrent subscriptions
 - **SC overhead is ~2.5×**: TLS WebSocket adds ~40 µs per operation vs raw UDP — acceptable for secure deployments
