But this is TCP: 1) Flow control should generally prevent buffers from being overrun; 2) Even if packets are dropped, they should be resent; 3) On a local connection, there's really no way for the port to get "flooded". I'm not arguing the OP isn't seeing data lost, just that it cannot be happening the way he thinks it is if he's using any normal networking calls. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
