What I want to know is how big this buffer should be. A point of qualification: A write(2) to a socket returns when the data has been written to the socket send buffer. It can't tell you whether the remote program (or machine, even) has receieved the data. This may or may not help. :) Regards, Nick Dronen - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
