Hi All
I a new into this area. So please excuse me, if my doubt is too simple. I am trying to measure the available bandwidth of a 35 Kbps ppp connection. I wrote a 2 programs, which when run at the two ends, establishes a tcp connection. The client sends some junk and the server simply receives it. The client after connecting to the server, prints the time and starts sending data. When it has sent N (say 30 KB) of data it stops and prints time. But even at this time the server doesn't stop. When I do a tcpdump, I find the server is still sending acknowledgements. My doubt is, this being a tcp connection, how can the client exit before receiving the acknowledgements.
Thanking in advance, Dinil
