We have a setup of Controller-Agent gateways where there will be approximately 50 agent gateways. We need to pass some data between Controller and Agent gateways. We are thinking of doing it by setting gateway network and using remote tag providers. Is there any limit for how many remote tag providers can be created on a single gateway? In [documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Gateway+Network), it is mentioned that web socket can be created but I assume it will require more engineering/development efforts. Any thoughts/guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---

No, there is no hard limit. You will be slinging a lot of I/O back and forth, but servers are usually pretty good at that. ---
