Hi, Using a network logger, I noticed that some IPs are very active on the Wormux index server port (9997). Using tcpdump to sniff the traffic, I saw a lot of short connections from the same IP. Example:
An IP opened ~55,000 packets on ~30 minutes. It sends 4 bytes (the number 1 in 32 bits) and the server answers with 4 bytes (number 8, in 32 bits). Then the server closes the connections. But just after that (0.1 to 0.5 seconds later), a new connection from the same IP: same dialog... I think that it's an old version of Wormux trying always the reconnect to the index server. Questions: - Why does the client reconnect after a failure? - Why does the server continue to answer to the same computer? Please Cc-me your answer, I'm not subscribed to Python mailing list. -- Victor Stinner aka haypo http://www.haypocalc.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Wormux-dev mailing list Wormux-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wormux-dev
