TCP Window Update Scenarios
Typically TCP will send receiver window size, when it sends an Ack, it helps to communicate with sender to 'slow down' if the need be so. 'A window update' would normally be seen very rarely in reasonably implemented clients and servers. A window update is just an indication to the...

I fixed it myself by reformatting my laptop. Sadly, I could not find a good solution.
Is it possible to create TCP Private Network communication on WP8.1?
Yes. The page you link to will work between a phone and a desktop app on the same network. The quote you pull out says that WP has just one capability to cover all network access rather than splitting different network access types into separate capabilities. It doesn't mean that...
how TCP segments can be misrouted
I posted the question on Google+ and I got the answer, here's the link https://plus.google.com/+AbedAhmadAlZaben/posts/GxvraNY6oom. Lars Staalhagen answered me with the following: Yes, it is actually possible that errors could occur in the IP-header that would be undetected by the IP-checksum. Every error-detecting code, i.e., checksum, has a property called...
asyncio start_server timeout issue
python,python-3.x,tcp,python-asyncio
If your clients are waiting for a response from the server, and that response isn't sent until the computation is done, then it's possible the clients could eventually timeout, if the computations took long enough. More likely, though, is that the clients will just hang until the computations are done...
How is Ctrl+C key behaves in a TCP connection
There's no such thing as sending a signal over TCP. Ctrl+C is a terminal generated signal. Assuming you (or the running process) didn't change the terminal's settings, this means that the terminal driver transforms the Ctrl+C key combination into a kill(x, SIGINT), where x is the process group ID of...
Using TCP in Standard ML
It turns out that an ArraySlice of Word8s is not the same thing as a Word8ArraySlice. In order to get the latter from a string, you need to call packString with an appropriate array. I decided to use Vectors instead, which meant that I could do Word8VectorSlice.full (Byte.stringToBytes res) to...

Reopen Tcp socket on the same port
You code is wrong you should not expect this method to exit because you want your server up and running the whole time. I am assuming here you call run several times. Don't do that.

Malformed DNS Request Packet
OK, so: If you're doing the transport-layer networking yourself, your code will determine whether it's going over UDP or TCP, by specifying, when creating the socket on which to send the packet, whether it's a UDP or TCP socket; TCP is used if the packet won't fit in a maximum-sized...
How will a c# tcp socket block if I send too many bytes?
I believe the Windows TCP stack always takes all bytes because all Windows apps assume it does. I know that on Linux it does not do that. Anyway, the poll/select style is obsolete. Async sockets are done preferably with await. Next best option is the APM pattern. No threads are...

Data is corrupted after sending from PHP to JAVA using tcp
You're stumbling upon encoding. By calling new String(data) the byte array is converted using your default encoding to a string, whatever this encoding may is (you can set the encoding by java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to UTF-8 for example). The Java code you want would most likely look the following: in =...
Trying to make a android TCP Server App
As far as I'm concerned onCreate() method will be called on the UI thread. It is no longer possible to run network operations on the UI thread. Hence you should replace runTcpServer(); with Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { runTcpServer(); } }); t.start(); You...
String is not adding to itself properly. But is able to compare
Your code has a number of problems with it, but the biggest one (and the one causing your issue) is that you are failing to take into account the actual number of bytes received. This causes null characters to exist in your string, which are then interpreted by some components...

Java TCP-Sockets transmit files larger than 4gb
TCP can handle infinitely long data streams. There is no problem with the sequence number wrapping around. As it is initially random, that can happen almost immediately, regardless of the length of the stream. The problems are in your code: DataOutputStream fileTransmissionStream = new DataOutputStream(transmissionSocket.getOutputStream()); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(toBeSent);...
Persistent connection not working at all

Persistent connections do not forbid to use parallel connections, they only allow to re-use the same connection for more requests. But, with persistent connections you can only do multiple requests within the same connection one after the other. This means to get lots of resources it is usually faster to...

How will a socket act when the data is sent faster than it can be processed?
sockets,networking,tcp,network-programming,flow-control
What happens if the speed of sending is far greater than the speed of processing? For example, if the client sends 1 MiB per second, but the server can only process 1 KiB per second … If the sender is in blocking mode, it will block if it gets...
Trying to create a server that will receive more than 1 file, but it always stops after receiving 1 file
c#,sockets,tcp,tcpclient,tcpserver
From what i can spot out as being erroneus is that your current code misses a while() loop in the StartServerWorker_DoWork() function. Currently you are just starting to listen, get file, and even close it, no wonder you don't get the second file from client. See this example for basic...

Can you have a TCP client without threading
The code you have can be made to not use threads trivially: Simply delete the thread and run TCPRecieve inline. I doubt that is what you want, though. In fact you probably want the connect operation to also not happen on the main thread so that it is not blocked....
I have a server application that gets data exactly half the time. Why/how does this happen and how do I fix it?
Okay, this is starting to get a bit long. There's multiple errors in your code. Starting with the server code: As Damien noted, you're trying to read each "message" twice - first in HandleClientComm, then again in getData. The stream no longer has the original data, so you're just throwing...

It's implementation dependent. Most applications just treat POLLERR the same as normal readiness, allowing the subsequent operation to fail.
C# Multi threaded Server
c#,multithreading,sockets,tcp,server
On the client side, your two separate sending threads cannot share the same instance of client = new TcpClient("192.168.1.2",5052); to simultaneously send data. Each thread should have its own instance. Note, however, that it is fine for 2 client sockets to hit the same server-side IP:port simultaneously. It is just...

boost asio TCP server must bind to an IP address?
Bind to 0.0.0.0. That's the "wildcard" that listens on all interfaces for any incoming connection. If you bind to 127.0.0.1, your server will only accept incoming connections over the loopback, which won't let you client connect (since your client isn't using the loopback)....
How to secure tcp connection - nodejs?

Your server is fine as-is for what you're trying to do; your code as written actually keeps the TCP connection alive, it's you just don't have the plumbing in place to continously feed it new messages. To do that, you need to tweak the client code so that you can...
How do I run a simultaneous scan in nmap?
By default, nmap will simultaneously scan 36 sockets. The --max_parallelism option can be set to 1 to scan a single port at a time. The minimum possible value for --max_parallelism is 1, and nmap will warn if the requested value is above 900. You can use this option for scan...
How does netstat determine symbolic hostname?

C: Linux to Windows: Sending text file over TCP produces not exact copy on the Windows side
When sending, you're assuming the data is null terminated: if((send(sockfd, buf, strlen(buf), 0)) < 0){ You should use the count actually returned by the read method, and you shouldn't use fgets() for that purpose. Your receive loop makes no sense. You're calling recv() several times and testing the result...

How is determining body length by closing connection reliable (RFC 2616 4.4.5)
You are absolutely right, that mechanism is totally unreliable. This is covered in RFC 7230: Since there is no way to distinguish a successfully completed, close-delimited message from a partially received message interrupted by network failure, a server SHOULD generate encoding or length-delimited messages whenever possible. The close-delimiting feature exists...
